“We can’t recommend Jacque enough! She sent us picture updates of Phoebe at least once a day and was super responsive to us. You could tell from the photos and videos that Phoebe had an absolute blast with Jacque. Phoebe’s tail was always wagging!”
“Angie was absolutely wonderful! She and her son Took such great care of my two pups ! She was able to help me out in a pinch and pick up and deliver the pups back home. I love that she sent me pictures and updates of how they were doing! I will definitely have her as my number one Sitter when I am in Annapolis!”
“Jessica took great care of our dog. We got updates with pictures and videos on a daily basis. He got a lot of exercise in their fenced in yard. We would definitely use again!”
“McKenley and her husband were so great with Athena ! They took her in like she was their own. They were very open to letting me come visit and had great communication throughout the time of her being there. Athena had a great time with their little pug, going on walks and hikes. I would definitely recommend this little family and will use them again in the future if need be !”
“Krysta and Pete were outstanding! They were so communicative, and so inclusive of our dog Koa. We loved the multiple photos per day and daily updates. These two will definitely make your animal feel at home while you’re away and that’s the most relieving part of it all. My dog loves to play and be stimulated while simultaneously being around “his humans”, which I can tell from he updates that’s what he now considers this family! I will always look to board Koa with them in the future. Many mahalos again for loving on our guy while we were away.”
“Yvette was truly great! The pups had a wonderful time with her and she gave daily updates. She was very accommodating to my last minute changing schedule. Was so happy to have been able to book her and love on the pups!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 6 1/2 or 7; they always gravitate towards me! Constantly caring for any lovely pets big to small in and out of my neighborhood from the age of 10. From senior care to newborns I’ve been pet sitting for a long while. Just because most dogs are bigger than me doesn’t mean I won’t tackle them so they get a proper brushing or a nice bath! Birds, Guinea pigs and bunnies, too. Since I’m currently unemployed my schedule is extremely flexible I'm available most weekdays after 9am. Weekend availability varies and will have to be discussed 1o1 I work extremely diligently with written rules and verbal explanations, I adjust to you and your pets needs and act accordingly. Im attentive and your satisfaction along with your pets health is my number one priority. I try to form bonds with any and all animals I will be spending time with whether it’s an hour or 2 days. I try to leave great impressions on the hearts of people and creatures
“Thank you for taking such great care of Milly. She was very happy when we picked her up and I could tell she had been well taken care of while we were away. Appreciate all of the pictures and communication while we traveled.”
“Mari was great with our dog. She sent updates and pictures while we were away. She took extra steps on planning what she will do in case of approaching storm. It made me more confident to go on our family trip. I highly recommend her and appreciate her.”
“Carmen and Cameron did an amazing job watching my dogs overnight. My dogs were quickly put at ease by their care and had a fun time on their walks to the beach. Carmen was also excellent with communication and sharing updates. Overall it was a great experience for both myself and my dogs!”
“Brody had a fantastic stay. He is one tired pup now and that can only be down to the incredible attention and playtime he got whilst with Jay and the family. They provided photos and videos frequently. Kept us up to date on anything important and gave Brody so much love and attention. I think he’s going to be missing his buddies for a while! Thank you for taking such good care of him 🐾”
“Rebecca was amazing. We were so lucky that she was available and able to take our pup last minute in an emergency. I could tell our pup also loves it there with all the attention he gets. Not only did he get great care there he got some important experience with children there as well. We are forever indebted and cannot thank you enough!!”
“Absolutely professional and kind sitter. Miki was in contact with us every step of the way and we never once worried about our little Wilbur. She shared many pictures. She came through for us on a short notice and spent her time during a meet and greet to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Miki spoiled Wilbur with multiple walks and treated him like her own fur kid during daily errands. We are so grateful to have found Miki! We highly recommended her to take care of your fur kids. Thanks Miki and family.”
“James was absolutely awesome! This was our first time using Rover and what a great experience with James. From our first meet with him and our dog, James was kind and gracious. Our dog I almost didn't want to come back with us! Thank you James for everything and hope to see you again!”
“Taylor is great!! Pongo had a great time with her again!! She took him for walks and gave him lots of snuggles, he was a happy boy and was excited to go stay with her! Highly recommend, will definitely use her again!”
“Taylor and Kevin took great care of our golden, Pemba, over the weekend. She went on many adventures with them—to the park, on walks, even out to eat! Pemba got lots of love, attention, and belly rubs. Taylor is very patient and understanding with Pemba and super communicative. We got lots of updates so we knew exactly what they were up to. Thanks so much for taking wonderful care of Pemba!”
“We are so grateful for Daisy! Our pup Lily stayed with her for 2 nights and had the best time. Daisy was incredibly responsive and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. You can really tell she’s calm, caring, and genuinely loves dogs. When we picked Lily up, she was happily tired out from all the playtime and fun she had. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Daisy again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pup like family!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up caring for Labs, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, Border Collies, Huskies, and a Mini Goldendoodle — so I understand everything from high-energy working breeds to small companion dogs. When I was 14 years old, I became the primary caregiver for my Chihuahua, who was under a year old when we brought her home. I cared for her throughout her entire life, including providing attentive, compassionate senior care as her needs changed in her later years. That experience taught me responsibility, patience, and how to adjust care as dogs age. I’ve also cared for an energetic Husky, so I’m very comfortable with active dogs who need structured exercise and mental stimulation. I raised my Mini Goldendoodle from 6 weeks old and handled all of her training, so I’m confident working with puppies and reinforcing good habits. I truly believe dogs deserve an enriching life beyond the home. I love beach walks and hikes, and I tailor each outing to match a dog’s energy level and personality. While dogs may be part of our world, to them we are their whole world — and I care for every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work remotely from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention for dogs in my care. During working hours, I’m available for shorter walks (up to 30 minutes), drop-ins, and in-home care. My meeting schedule varies day to day, so timing during work hours will need flexibility, but I always communicate clearly to coordinate a time that works best. After 3:00 PM, I have full availability for longer walks, outings, and dedicated time with your dog. In My Home: Dogs staying with me have access to my office/guest room, the main living areas, and a fully fenced backyard at all times. Because I work remotely from 7:00 AM–3:00 PM, I’m home throughout the day to provide supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention. Dogs are never isolated and can stay near me while I work, helping them feel comfortable and secure. They’ll also have the opportunity to play with my docile and friendly Mini Goldendoodle, Nova, who loves having company. Of course, I always prioritize safe, positive introductions and will separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I provide regular walks, playtime, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level — whether that’s relaxed outdoor time or more active exercise. I follow feeding schedules, routines, and any specific care instructions closely to make the transition from your home to mine as smooth as possible. Drop-In Visits (Client’s Home): For drop-ins, I focus on keeping your dog’s routine consistent in their familiar environment. Visits can include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of attention. I always respect your home and leave it exactly as I found it, and I provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Victoria is so wonderful with our kitties and we feel lucky to have found her on here! She’s reliable, attentive, caring, responsive, and provides us so many wonderful updates while we’re away. She treats our boys like her own and that makes going away so much less stressful! Thank you Victoria!!”
“Lillian was amazing and took great care of our cats while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond in her care and did things like take our packages in for us as well. Will definitely use again in the future if available!”
“We booked with her for the second time during a week-long vacation, and she was fantastic! She stopped by twice a day, kept us updated, and took excellent care of our cats. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in good, reliable hands while we’re away. Highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of lots of pets since I was around 11. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their babies while on trips, or if they needed a day out! I have cared for dogs of different sizes and many breeds as well as cats and I’d be willing to learn to take care of others! I am currently a part time worker and work night times from 6:30pm, so I would have lots of time in the day to care for your animals! I can also do days I may not have on for availability as long as we communicated it. I can do any service until 5pm! Just message me about your needs and we can work through it! I am willing to learn how to cater to your pets needs and keeping the environment happy and the least stressful for your pets so they can be most comfortable while you are away!

“Lauren and Dale’s home is most welcoming for dogs! This is our 2nd time entrusting them with our pup. Lauren is attentive to detail, understanding of different dogs, their needs/boundaries, super patient, and a dog whisperer! She is able to execute little details that help make our pup comfy and warm at their home. Lauren has also dealt with our pup starting her first cycle while we were away! She was soooooo patient to help our pup be safe and clean during her stay and managed to make it work even though our pup did not like diapers! Lauren sent so many updates throughout the stay that made us feel so happy that our pup was enjoying and having the time of her life! We can’t forget to mention their wonderful family of boys that also play with our pup and teach her new tricks. They are so loving and respectful of the dogs! Thank you Lauren and Dale always for welcoming our girl and taking great care of her! 💛”
“James is the BEST ever! He takes care of our fur baby, Maya, like she is his own. She LOVES him and is so excited to see him!! We are so fortunate to have found her BFF!!”
About: My husband and I have always cared for and owned dogs, but we currently don’t have one and are missing our fur friends! I recently moved from England to Hawaii to join my husband here for work, and before welcoming a dog of our own, we’d love to spend time caring for yours! I will be the primary caregiver, as I work fully from home. Back in England, I looked after my mom’s dog almost every day for the past six years whenever I wasn’t working at the hospital, as I worked from home a lot too. I also regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs for overnight stays, weekends and holidays. In fact, I became the go-to dog sitter in our little English village! As a healthcare professional, I understand the importance of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and I bring that same level of patience, compassion, and commitment to every dog I care for. We know that every dog has their own unique personality and routine, and we’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and so very loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, we’ll care for them as if they were our own! I (Carmen) will be the primary caregiver, with Cam (husband) home in the evenings for cuddles and post-dinner beach walks with us. I currently work from home, part-time as a UK-registered Dietitian. I’d love a fur colleague to keep me company! I walk, run or swim at the beach every morning or lunchtime and evenings too, and Kalama Beach is only a 10 minute walk from our house. My husband works with the military (he’s a ex-marine officer) so he’s not around as much but he would absolutely love doggy kisses to welcome him home after work. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a large shared yard that is fully enclosed, with two access points that we securely block off whenever a dog is outside, so they can enjoy the space safely under our supervision. We share the yard with three lovely neighboring couples who are also dog lovers, creating a friendly and welcoming environment. Our home is a spacious two-story, three-bedroom house with plenty of room for your pup to relax. After beach adventures or muddy walks, we even have two bathtub showers ready for rinsing off sandy paws and giving your dog a little spa treatment! We’ll follow your dog’s usual routine, provide lots of love and attention, and ensure they’re always supervised and cared for as if they were our own.
“Rose was incredible with Kuma!! She responded to all of my messages quickly, sent photos, kept her busy and happy all day. She was also very flexible when I had to push back my pick up time. I will absolutely be booking with Rose again!! 😊”
“It was my first time using dog daycare, and Daisy was great! She replied really fast and was super friendly with Spotty. She sent me photos during the day, and Spotty looked so happy. He had such a good time that we’ve already booked our next daycare with her!”
About: Aloha! Official animal lover here, who’s had and taken care of various types of pets from Tarantulas, Turtles, Hamsters, Gerbils, Chameleons, parakeets, frogs, to rabbits, fish, cats and dogs! I would love to watch your furbaby and take great care of her/him! I’m experienced with caring for dogs of all stages, big or small. I like to exercise, so your dog will get plenty of exercise (walk or run) with me:) I also speak Japanese and Spanish! I do not work, but do travel often to mainland as I have elderly parents. So when I’m on island I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. My husband works from home, and we recently bought a spacious single-family home with a yard and large lanai, so your dogs can enjoy hanging out inside or outside.
About: Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds. I recently lost a beloved family dog in Japan, which deepened my appreciation for the importance of compassionate, attentive care for animals. Although I do not currently have a pet of my own, I stay closely connected to animals through volunteering at the humane society, where I help care for and socialize dogs of different temperaments and needs. I am active, reliable, and very attentive to each animal’s individual personality and routine. I enjoy providing safe, loving care, regular exercise, and meaningful companionship tailored to each dog’s needs—whether that means calm indoor time, structured walks, or active outdoor time for more energetic dogs. I work mostly remotely, so I’m home the majority of the day and can provide consistent care and attention. I do have occasional appointments, but I plan my schedule to ensure pets are always checked on and cared for regularly. I’m also very active and enjoy hiking and outdoor time, so I’m happy to include pets who enjoy walks, exercise, and being out and about. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care or medications. In the home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and not alone for long periods, giving them consistent companionship and supervision. I keep the environment clean, calm, and stress-free, and I’m very respectful of the client’s home, treating it with care as if it were my own.
About: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals, including more than 5 years as a kennel assistant and 5 years as a veterinary assistant. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve developed strong skills in administering medications, including insulin and asthma treatments. My time in a veterinary hospital has also given me valuable experience working with animals of all temperaments, allowing me to stay calm, patient, and attentive in any situation. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your pet gets my complete time, attention, and care. I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved, and that their time with me is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I have 5 years of veterinary medical experience and feel confident providing a wide range of care for pets of all needs—from those requiring more involved medical support to those who simply need extra love and cuddles. I take cleanliness and safety seriously, thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing between each client to ensure a healthy, comfortable environment for your furry friend.
“Lilian did an excellent job watching Lucy. I would highly recommend her to anyone ?. I look forward to contacting you in the future and will recommend you also. Aloha”
“Rebekah is amazing! She’s so considerate and puts so much care into watching my little dog Edgar :) After every daycare day, you can tell he’s had lots of fun and is so content. Her little dog Nova is also an angel, very polite and playful! Could not recommend Rebekah enough!”
“During my recent move, I needed a sitter for my two dogs during the day & Aralie responded in a timely manner. Aralie watched my dogs for three days and reassured me that they were doing okay by updating me with pictures throughout the day! I definitely recommend!”
About: Have had dogs most of my life. We have a safe and comfortable space for dogs to run around in. I also take morning and evening walks to keep them busy. Flexible with our schedule! I am home all day so will be with your pup the entire duration of the stay. Any nuances in schedule will be reflected on the calendar. I have an acre fenced yard that is well maintained and all grass. Plenty of activities and toys to keep them busy. I am only looking to house one dog at a time.
“Sis was wonderful with our dog! Our pup is only nine months old so I was a bit worried about leaving her, but Sis made her feel right at home. She loved going over there every morning for doggy sitting. I would definitely use her again.”
About: I work from home, so your pet gets constant attention and care. Clean, calm home with a fenced yard for safe play. Daily walks that dogs love to join. I also love to run if your pup does! Experience in veterinary settings; comfortable administering medication. I only host 1–2 dogs at a time for personalized care. Single dog stays available upon request. Active or low energy, I match your pet’s needs. I work from home, so your pet will have consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I can easily step away for walks, potty breaks, or playtime whenever needed. I’m also close enough to walk to and from my kids school, so a twice a day walk is guaranteed. I’m happy to match your pet’s energy — whether that’s a relaxed day lounging in the sun, short walks, or going for a jog. On weekends, I enjoy hiking and being outdoors, but I also love quiet days at home with movies and downtime. Whatever your pet prefers, I can accommodate. In your home, I will stick closely to your pet’s routine and any house rules you have in place. I hold a Top Secret clearance, so you can trust that your home and belongings are in safe, responsible hands. In my home, I have a calm, structured environment. I have a spayed, very submissive hairless Xoloitzcuintli who does well with other pets. My kids are with me part time and are very respectful of animals and mindful about doors and boundaries. I have a cat who was raised in a foster environment and is very comfortable around other animals. My home is a safe, low stress space where pets can relax and feel at ease.
About: Going on vacation should not be stressful for you or your pet. Your pet will enjoy their own mini-vacay with me! I enjoy creating interactive games or adventures outdoors. I worked 3 years emergency veterinary medicine and 2 years as a vet tech so I know what to look out for and can also provide special needs if your pet requires it. I have experience in training dogs also, so I can keep up with whatever your training plan is if your pup is still in training! I make healthy homemade training treats so I will share those and make them feel spoiled. If your dog is up for it, I would love to take them to hang out with friends' dogs, hiking, running, or some beach fun. It is best to keep a dog on a similar schedule that they are used to so please let me know what your dog's routine usually is. Please let me know if your dog is or isn't friendly with other dogs. I also have experience with cats and have had rabbits for 12 years so I can help no matter what your fluffy family is! Ask me about multiple pet discounts! *Limited experience with whelping and rearing puppies under 8 weeks. Let me know what your pet's usual routine is, or favorite toys, or what things they enjoy doing most so we can do them together. I can accommodate pet sitting in your home with a variety of scenarios, no matter if your pet is crate-trained or is a bedtime snuggler.
“Taylor is fantastic. I was in town for work with my wee guy and she took care of him during the times I couldn't have him with me. Rowlf and Taylor made a fast friends. They played and walked and cuddled, she took tons of pics and kept me up to date about their time together, and really supported me while I was working. I'm so grateful I found her. Taylor is super friendly, thorough, and loving. It can be so hard for all of us to trust the care of our babies to a stranger. You can't go wrong here!”
About: After the death of our beloved dog, our family decided to take a break from dog ownership to heal and rest a bit. I have had dogs (usually more than 1 at a time) my whole life! Pet sitting is my way of loving on dogs during this busy stage of life when I cannot have my own. I would love to shower your dog with lots of love and attention! We do have a kitten in our home. She has adjusted very well to having dogs around. We are a homeschool family and are at home or near home most every day. I would never have to leave your pet for any extended period of time. Not only do we have a fenced in yard, but also live walking distance to a couple of beautiful parks, beaches, and a small dog park. Please be aware that I do have small children. Ages 3, 6, 10, & 12. I will love your pet like my own! Your beloved pet will have snuggles and pets and enjoy walks outside to our local park and dog park if you approve. I live in a beautiful area and love to be outside with furry friends.
“Naudia is very responsive and love that she can take my pup to an enclosed area for him to exercise in the middle of the day and provides companionship with her other doggy day care companions.”
“Family is awesome, they were able to take in our dog on short notice. Our girl Tilly came home tired, she was able to get all her energy out. We appreciate you guys!”
“Maple was great, we’d definitely love for her to watch our pup Lovely again. Maple accepted our last-minute request, and responded quickly. Then, during Lovely’s day with Maple, Maple sent lots of updates, with pictures and videos. Lovely is shy around new people, but Maple was patient with her and let her take the lead on what she was comfortable with. For example, Lovely was shy to go in the house at first, so Maple set her up on a long-line on the deck and kept the door open so Lovely could go inside whenever she was ready. This was our first time using Rover, and we’re so grateful to have found Maple!”

About: Hi Everyone! My name is Zoe Lau, and I've had a Black Lab for 14 years. She's happy, healthy, and ridiculous. I'm joining because I have extra time this month and would love to care for some doggies. I have no professional experience with dog sitting.

I am a college senior and have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays for the next two months, so my availability is on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and some Saturdays and Sundays. Availability might change depending on workload. I am currently opting towards dog walking, but if you are interested in sitting, please reach out and let me know your comfort level and any restrictions I should know about!
“Rebecca was amazing! She was able to accept a last minute request with no hesitation, was incredibly communicative, and always included a fun note and great pictures of her time with Char.

“Alyson is awesome, always on time, and always keeps us updated in how our dog does on her walks. We are using a dog walker every other week to expose our fearful dog to more people (recommended by trainer). We appreciate Alyson being part of our journey in helping our pup being less fearful.”
About: Aloha! I am a dog-loving, mom of three boys, two dogs, and a military spouse of 15 years. Being flexible and dependable is pretty much my lifestyle. I grew up with dogs, and I’ve personally cared for my own since I was an adult. I have also fostered rescue dogs for Okinawa Stray Pet Rescue. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, all sizes, and dogs from newborn puppy to 15 year old seniors with very limited mobility. I am probably over paranoid when it comes to safety, so you can trust that your dog will be in good, responsible hands! I understand that each dog is unique, and I treat each one as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident in who you choose to care for your fur baby, and I’m happy to provide what your pup needs! My only time constraints are shuttling kids to and from school and activities so I have lots of free time to spend with your pup! As previously mentioned, I am very cautious and your dog’s safety is my top priority. I have personally owned dogs who are “runners” so I’m constantly aware of my surroundings and the dog’s behavior when caring for them.
About: I lost my childhood dog a few years ago and it’s been too hard to get another one. I’ve come to love caring for other people’s dogs and find it gives me that companionship without the heartbreak! I’ve had a range of experience from training puppies to administering medication to elderly dogs. Whether your dog enjoys lounging around or playing at the beach, I’ll adjust myself to match their energy! I work primarily swing shift so I have all morning (until about 2pm) open to spend with your pup, take them for walks, or check in on them. I have no other pets so I can give my undivided attention to your pets and their needs! You tell me what you need and I’ll do my absolute best to make it happen! This is just as much for me as it is for your pet, so I’ll do whatever makes your pet comfortable, ranging from going outside to expend that energy or me just being present as their companion. I have a really large wrap around yard. It’s not fenced, but we have a long rope set up to clip your pet to, if necessary.
“Alexis was awesome and took great care of Ridge. She has excellent communication and really does take pride in caring for your animals. I felt very comfortable with her and I’d be happy to have her care for my pup any day.”
About: I’ve been helping take care of animals since I was a little girl. I’ve had and fostered dogs of all sizes and loved cats my whole life. I have experience with exotic birds, chickens, and reptiles as well! I recently moved to Waimanalo to live with my partner, who is also a petsitter, and his family. I work part time in Waimanalo a few days a week, so I’d be staying overnight with them and spending off time making sure they’re taken care of. Being mindful is something that I think is most important in regards to caring for pets. Whether it’s of their needs, location and so on.
About: Proud stay-at-home dog dad. Experience with large and small and in between. Always happy to have new dog friends come and stay. Fun is important to us, but safety comes first. Always looking for study breaks to walk some beautiful pups! Studying full time for now, at home. Partner works full time. Primary caretaker for our two dogs - food, meds, walks. I am home all day, with transportation. For boarding, I will be in the house almost constantly. For my own dogs, I manage their medication and feeding. We walk several times a day and get out to the dog park or the beach every day.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to understand each animal’s personality and routine, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens needing patience and consistency to senior pets requiring gentle care and extra attention. I’m comfortable with special feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, basic training reinforcement, medication reminders, and providing updates with photos and messages for your peace of mind. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that keeps both you and your pet stress-free. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and enjoy spending time with animals. I plan my day around each pet’s needs, making sure they receive timely feedings, walks or playtime, fresh water, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit or extended care, I’m committed to keeping pets on their regular routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. I also provide regular updates with photos, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving the care and companionship they deserve. I care for every pet with patience, kindness, and attention to their individual needs. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks or playtime, litter box or yard cleanup, medication if needed, and plenty of affection and companionship. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular photo and message updates so owners know their pets are safe and happy.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 6 1/2 or 7; they always gravitate towards me! Constantly caring for any lovely pets big to small in and out of my neighborhood from the age of 10. From senior care to newborns I’ve been pet sitting for a long while. Just because most dogs are bigger than me doesn’t mean I won’t tackle them so they get a proper brushing or a nice bath! Birds, Guinea pigs and bunnies, too. Since I’m currently unemployed my schedule is extremely flexible I'm available most weekdays after 9am. Weekend availability varies and will have to be discussed 1o1 I work extremely diligently with written rules and verbal explanations, I adjust to you and your pets needs and act accordingly. Im attentive and your satisfaction along with your pets health is my number one priority. I try to form bonds with any and all animals I will be spending time with whether it’s an hour or 2 days. I try to leave great impressions on the hearts of people and creatures
“Kylie was extremely sweet and punctual (we met at the dog park). I needed help with taking Olive to the park due to a mild knee injury. Kylie was ready to help supervise Olive, who is still young and needs breaks during play to encourage good manners. Kylie would throw the ball and distract Olive as needed so she could engage in calmer play with other dogs. Kylie obviously likes animals and was warm to Olive who is a messy water drinking and likes to play with wet dirt cover tennis balls at the park.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for over 6 years! They bring me ultimate joy, so why not make it a full-time job? I currently do not work, rover is the only job I do full-time, so I am almost always available to dog sit. I love dogs, and would love to make yours apart of my weekly routine. I have a community dog park in my neighborhood that your dogs will love. I would take the pups out on walks (if it’s not too hot), or just snuggle them all day if that’s what they wanted. I would show them ultimate love and attention while they are in my care!

About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds for years and would love to be of service to someone who needs help on the weekends, early mornings, or evenings. I would be happy to sit and hang out with an elderly dog or take your active pup on a hike. When I’m not with your dog, I’m working at castle hospital, at the gym or doing photography. I work 8-4pm Monday to Friday so I’m open to early morning walks or evening check ins until 10pm. Open to flexible needs on the weekends and holiday coverage. I currently live with a husky so it would be best if I came to your home. Unfortunately, I am allergic to cats so I can’t be around them but dogs are okay!
“Very happy with her services. They walk my dogs when we are going to be out the house for a while. They always update us how they do on their walks and send us pictures. Very reliable!”
About: One-on-one, in-home dog boarding on Oahu for local dogs and dogs visiting the island. I care for just one dog, or two from the same household, at a time, with lots of hands-on time and attention throughout the day. Whether you live here or you're visiting Oahu with your dog, they won't be left to cope alone in a kennel or group setting. Days are active and hands-on: play, structure, and one-on-one attention, not hours in a crate. My fully fenced quarter-acre gives dogs room to run, sniff, and settle into a calm, predictable home routine. The result: steady, attentive care, so locals can travel and visitors can explore the island, without second-guessing where their dog is staying. I care for a blind and deaf dog for two hours daily. While I am out, your dog will be inside the home that was specifically created with your dog comfort. Each day follows a calm, structured rhythm based on the individual dog. Mornings begin with outdoor movement, followed by relaxed, unhurried meals. The day balances activity and rest, with space to move, play, and decompress, while gentle guidance is naturally integrated throughout. Evenings are calm and predictable, allowing each dog to fully settle in a safe, peaceful home with one-on-one attention..

“Angie was absolutely wonderful! She and her son Took such great care of my two pups ! She was able to help me out in a pinch and pick up and deliver the pups back home. I love that she sent me pictures and updates of how they were doing! I will definitely have her as my number one Sitter when I am in Annapolis!”
“Jessica took great care of our dog. We got updates with pictures and videos on a daily basis. He got a lot of exercise in their fenced in yard. We would definitely use again!”
“Krysta and Pete were outstanding! They were so communicative, and so inclusive of our dog Koa. We loved the multiple photos per day and daily updates. These two will definitely make your animal feel at home while you’re away and that’s the most relieving part of it all. My dog loves to play and be stimulated while simultaneously being around “his humans”, which I can tell from he updates that’s what he now considers this family! I will always look to board Koa with them in the future. Many mahalos again for loving on our guy while we were away.”
“Yvette was truly great! The pups had a wonderful time with her and she gave daily updates. She was very accommodating to my last minute changing schedule. Was so happy to have been able to book her and love on the pups!”
“Brody had a fantastic stay. He is one tired pup now and that can only be down to the incredible attention and playtime he got whilst with Jay and the family. They provided photos and videos frequently. Kept us up to date on anything important and gave Brody so much love and attention. I think he’s going to be missing his buddies for a while! Thank you for taking such good care of him 🐾”
“Rebecca was amazing. We were so lucky that she was available and able to take our pup last minute in an emergency. I could tell our pup also loves it there with all the attention he gets. Not only did he get great care there he got some important experience with children there as well. We are forever indebted and cannot thank you enough!!”
“Absolutely professional and kind sitter. Miki was in contact with us every step of the way and we never once worried about our little Wilbur. She shared many pictures. She came through for us on a short notice and spent her time during a meet and greet to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Miki spoiled Wilbur with multiple walks and treated him like her own fur kid during daily errands. We are so grateful to have found Miki! We highly recommended her to take care of your fur kids. Thanks Miki and family.”
“Taylor is great!! Pongo had a great time with her again!! She took him for walks and gave him lots of snuggles, he was a happy boy and was excited to go stay with her! Highly recommend, will definitely use her again!”
“Abigail and her family took wonderful care of our dog, Yuzu, while we were away for two weeks. Daily photos including trips to the beach and the park put our minds at ease, and we would definitely have Yuzu stay with her family again in the future!”
“Tara provided excellent care and attention to our boy Kanalu! Her and Charlie kept Kanalu busy and worked with him on Drop It! We appreciated her updates and pictures throughout the weekend! Tara is awesome and recommend her for your furry baby!! :)”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! In fact, she's such a great sitter that I almost hesitate to write this review because selfishly, I'd love to keep her availability to myself! This was our very first time leaving our puppy with a sitter, and naturally we were a little nervous. Samantha immediately put our minds at ease. Before our trip, she took the time to meet with us and show us where our puppy would be staying in her home, which made us feel so much more comfortable and confident. While we were away for nearly two weeks, Samantha kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos. It meant so much to know our puppy was happy, safe, and well cared for while we were gone. What impressed us even more was that she actually helped reinforce our puppy's potty training during our time away. We came home to a puppy who had continued making progress, which was such a pleasant surprise! Samantha is truly a sweetheart, and it's obvious that she has a genuine love for animals and a heart for what she does. The care, attention, and affection she showed our puppy exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful we came across Samantha and couldn't recommend her more highly. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“It's not easy to leave your pet with a stranger, but after meeting Naudia and Acey I felt at ease. There was a huge storm during my dog's stay, but Naudia found ways to keep him occupied indoors and I got frequent photos and updates. Naudia has an easy way with dogs, especially active, curious and attention-seeking ones like mine. I'd be very happy to leave my dog in her care again.”
“Greg was communicative and clearly loves dogs. I could tell my babies were in good hands getting lots of cuddles, playtime, and treats. I will definitely be using Greg again for future petsitting needs! Thanks!”
“KaVina was ABSOLUTELY amazing with my l lil man (Deuce). She kept the pics & videos coming. You could see the joy in my dogs eyes in the pictures & videos, I feel like my guy was truly able to live like he was at home. She took him for walks & played tug of war with him & kept him happy. I would definitely use her services again because she made him feel at home.”
“Charlene was super flexible and communicative, she sent pictures of our dog at her place. Our dog seemed comfortable and happy to be with her. We plan to use Charlene again!!!”
“Rose was great! We boarded Luna with her for a week and we got daily updates including pictures and videos. Luna was treated like a family member and got daily walks and lots of snuggles. Rose was super responsive and helped us be at ease with her stay.”
About: I recently lost my senior babie due to old age. I'm wanting to fill that spot by helping others with their fur babies. I have no other animals at home. I'm good with large dogs. My babie was dog averse so very good with dogs who need a little extra patience on walks, etc... I've sat small and medium dogs. I've sat several cats. I can issue meds as needed. Well rounded in senior care. Looking to love and care for those that don't want to be boarded or are most comfy at home. I work full time 7-4pm. I can visits prior and after work. If you're close enough to down town, I may be able to coordinate a lunch check up. I'm free in the evenings after 430pm. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays so there is full time care available those days as well as most Saturdays and Sundays. I am now a pet free home. I have a small yard at my apartment that has gates on either side. I have an easy walking neighborhood with lots of potty spots. I've walked large dogs, little dogs, and medium dogs. I've not walked a cat yet, but willing to try. I will care for your pet as if it is mine. My apartment has inside cameras for viewing when I'm at work. Please reach out with any questions at all.
