“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!”
“This was our first time sending our dog off to a sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything worked out. Kyrie and her family did a wonderful job watching Tuxedo, our boston terrier. We were gone for a whole week. She sent daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their pet!”
“My dog stayed with Martha and her family for a few days while I was away. She took great care of him, and followed all the instructions I gave. I think he enjoyed it there more than being at home! I would highly recommend Martha to anyone in the area, and I will be using her services again.”
“Tracy is a very responsible person. She sent many pictures of our dog,Ariel and let me know how she was doing. Also her mom took good care of Ariel. She was very happy with their dog too. I will definitely ask her to watch Ariel again!”
“Berry always has a nice vacation at Jacque’s. He gets to be a couch potato if he wants to and he can run around and be a doggy dog when he wants to. I always feel Berry is safe and well-loved.”
“Another great stay for Maddie at Hisae's care. Maddie recognized the place right away and made herself confortable as soon as I dropped her off. Hisae kept updated daily with photos and messages. Highly reccomended.”
“We left Lucky with Emma for 2 weeks. Our first to be away from each other for that long. We missed her alot but Emma regularly updated us with videos and photos which we very much appreciated. Usually shy, we saw that she was having a great time and even made a best friend. We came back to a more outgoing and relaxed Lucky! Thanks auntie Emma!”
“Casey was awesome in welcoming our Kanalu to her home and introducing her to her two dobermans! We were very relieved to know that our puppy was in good hands! Her communication was instant and our questions answered on daily check-ins. Definitely recommend Casey for caring for your family dog!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with my two furbabies! One who never slept out and the other who didn’t get along with other dogs, she understood them and their needs! And to top that off, she took this job with only a day’s notice! I recommend and have her saved for future trips 🫶🏼”
“Diana did an amazing job taking care of my dogs! I loved getting daily pictures. Her xommunication was fantastic, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!”
“Pei was amazing. He was able to accommodate our three dogs on very short notice. His property is fantastic for dogs, huge grass area, luxe kennels, and fully enclosed. Even though it was short notice he took the time to learn about my dogs and provided pictures and updates during their stay. Highly recommend trusting Pei with your fur babies, he treated our like they were his own.”
“Natalia is amazing! Our dogs had a seamless transition to her home, which she made so accommodating to the dogs she hosted. Natalia provided daily photos and updates of their adventures, which were all above and beyond! She was flexible when we thought our plans would be impacted by the Kona Low, every bit of communication was timely and thoughtful.”
“I really appreciated how understanding Haily was with my pup meeting her pups. After a little communication here and there, she was eager to have a meet and greet with my pup and hers. My bigger pup was a little shy and unsure about it at first meet. After he arrived for his week long stay, he started getting along better. She'd sent me evening updates about my pups wellbeing with text and pictures. With thise notifications, I was able to give some helpful ideas on how to get him to eat since he was feeling homesick. He did hurt his leg while he was there, but with him being very active, he just over extended his leg while playing, and she notified me and helped him out as best as possible. He's doing well now and glad his overall experience was a great one! I'm gonna choose Haily for our next pup-sitter, when the time comes!”
“Angie and her family took care of my dog very good! My dog was very happy to play with them and comfortable to stay their house. Angie’s response was very quick and she welcomed us in front of their house at the drop off so we don’t need to wondering around the street. We look forward to seeing her and her family again for the next opportunity.”
“Excellent sitter. I was a little worried because our puppy has never had someone else watch her and can be quite guarded with other pets & people but she was an excellent sitter and even got our dog to open up to her after a little bit. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thank you.”
“Dale and Lauren were wonderful for our cocker spaniel! We got messages and photos every day, and videos of him playing with the kids and dogs. They really cared about him and his wellbeing. I can say he truly enjoyed his time with them, and I appreciate that more than anything! I would absolutely recommend them, and will absolutely rebook with them!”

“Ninja & Ramsey were very happy after their time with Rebecca. They didn't punish me for being away for 2 weeks. Rebecca left my place clean and communicated every day with photos and videos of my kitty-boys.”
About: I’ve always had a special affinity towards cats, I have experience with all kinds, from energetic and playful, to old and sleepy, and even the tricky ones that don’t trust easily. I respect cats and truly think it’s important to listen to their body language to cater to how they feel.
“Mary-Ann was great. Attentive to each cats personality. Knew when to play and knew when they just needed love (lots of pets). She helped put our mind at ease while traveling.”
“Victoria was prompt and friendly in her communication with us, and took great care of our cats! She provided very helpful updates and took some great photos, and was flexible when we needed to change our plans last minute. Would absolutely recommend Victoria, she was extremely helpful! =)”
About: Aloha. I'm Summer. I am a stay-at-home wife and mom looking to bring in some extra income. I have loved animals since forever. I grew up with pets (dogs, cats, a rabbit, and fish). I have experience house sitting with pets, dog walking, and worked in an animal hospital. I don't have any fur babies of my own yet, but I do have a fur nephew, Ninja who I love very much. I am able to give medication if needed. I'm currently available Monday through Friday in the morning to the early afternoons. Weekends I am typically unavailable, but for the right pet, I can adjust my schedule. I will care for your home and your pet as if it's my family. I am respectful of boundaries, and rules even if it doesn't line up with my own beliefs. I understand that pets are very important to families and would never take that lightly.
“Absolutely fantastic dog sitter. Latai is so attentive and took such great care of my two dogs. My work schedule is always changing and she was so flexible and patient with me. I highly recommend her!!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, but what truly sets me apart is my professional, hands-on experience working with them every day. I spent over three years at a dog daycare, where I grew from a daycare attendant to a dog trainer, and eventually became the daycare manager. This experience gave me the opportunity to work with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities in a structured and supervised environment. In addition to my daycare and training background, I have been a responsible dog breeder since 2022, raising four successful litters of Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers. This has given me an even deeper understanding of canine behavior, development, and attentive, hands-on care from early life stages through adulthood. I have a strong understanding of dog body language and behavior, which allows me to safely handle everything from high-energy dogs to more nervous or reactive ones. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and positive experience for every dog in my care. Dogs are not just a job to me, they are a huge part of who I am. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a Labrador Retriever, and they continue to deepen my love and understanding of what dogs need to feel secure, happy, and well cared for. When caring for your pet, I treat them as if they were my own. You can expect consistent communication, reliability, and attentive care throughout your time away. If you have any questions about my experience or would like to see if I’m a good fit for your pet, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love to connect with you. Pet care is a consistent and important part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule around providing dependable, attentive care, including regular feeding times, exercise, and enrichment tailored to each dog’s needs. While I do have dogs of my own, they are on a stable routine and well cared for, which allows me to plan my time responsibly and show up fully for the pets in my care. Because of this, I am mindful about how long I am away from home at a time, but I ensure that every visit and stay is intentional, reliable, and focused on your pet’s comfort and well-being. Whether your dog needs structured walks, playtime, or a calm and consistent presence, I am able to incorporate their routine seamlessly into my day. At this time, I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so that your pet can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take pride in following each dog’s specific needs, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, or simply providing a calm and attentive presence. I am very mindful of safety, structure, and reading dog body language to ensure your pet feels secure and well cared for at all times. If your dog enjoys walks, I am happy to take them around your neighborhood or to appropriate outdoor areas, depending on your preferences. I tailor each visit to match your dog’s energy level and routine. I offer a range of services including drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting depending on availability. My goal is to provide reliable, thoughtful care while keeping your pet happy, safe, and comfortable in your absence. If you have any questions, special requests, or concerns, I am always happy to communicate and make sure I am the right fit for you and your pet.
About: I have owned a cat and dog my whole life and now that my dog is very old I know how to handle senior dogs very well. I have also had my share of experience with feisty cats. I love all animals especially cats and dogs and can’t wait to meet yours! I’m working full time so I usually do weekends but I can also probably do after work as well. I’m very flexible with my schedule. For a drop in, I would let them out to go to the bathroom and play with them to get a bunch of their energy out. I would also refill their bowls if needed as well as any other requests given to me.
About: A few of my friends got cats during covid and I started watching them when the world opened up and My friend's started traveling again. I can feed cats, clean litter boxes, and give them some play time. One set of kittens I took hiking in their outdoor backpack!
“Kaliyah did an amazing job taking care of my cats for a full week! She communicated regularly, sent multiple pictures, and made the whole process so smooth by coordinating both pickup and drop-off. My cats were clearly well cared for, and I had complete peace of mind while I was away. I definitely look forward to booking with her again!”
About: i’ve been around pets big and small, from kittens to huskies, I love animals. I am a long term care giver for a Australian shepherd. i work part time, so on the days i’m not working i would love to get out and take a dog for a walk or two. I care for pets in a loving way, discipline can be very important, but i like to reward for good behavior and ignore bad, but of course use appropriate discipline when needed.
About: I got a dog over 6 years ago and have been her primary caretaker, I’ve also puppy sat family members dogs in the past and have a lot of knowledge around reactive dogs I’m currently taking care of a family member for my job so I am available for daily walks as well as puppy and cat sitting! I’ll always treat your animals with love and their best interest at heart. I always make sure animals don’t get into sneaky trouble like they tend too.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, rabbits, cats, lizards and snakes through the years. I’m told I have “a way,” but I like to think I just try to speak in an even but engaged tone, play when it’s time to play, and if rambunctious, use calming techniques to correct. I am retired so I have a flexible routine. I like to stay engaged with my community and help others keep their companions healthy and happy. I have adopted 3 rambunctious strays that are still settling in, so care in my home could only be on a special arrangement basis. In a client’s home, I would respect all directions given and ensure emergency numbers are provided.

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: My dogs have always been my best friends. I have had experience with small, medium, and large dogs. I am careful to listen to and respect the routine and rules that you have for your fur baby, no matter how big or small. I’m a big fan of taking them for walks on the beach and shady hikes! I also love a good excuse to drive around looking for a good place for my pup to stretch her legs, or be a good cuddle buddy. I am currently a small business owner in private practice as a healthcare provider. Dog sitting was something I loved doing for many years, but paused to do to care for my senior dog for the last 3 years. After recently losing her, and not being ready for a new love of my own, I’d be honored for the opportunity to care for your pet. I live in Kaaawa but am able to travel anywhere on island to care for your pet(s). Thank you for reading my profile, & I hope to hear from you soon! I work from home doing telehealth, largely from 11-4 M/W/F so I have lots of time and breaks to spend with your pet. I spend most days at home, able to provide exercise and maintain routine feeding throughout the day. I am used to administering meds on a schedule and provide frequent updates to owners (if they’d like!). I am careful to follow the house rules and your pet’s routine. I know it takes a lot of trust for someone to care for your fur baby, and I am a trusted member of the community. I am transparent about my stay in your home and understand it is a privilege to be there and be trusted to care for your animal. I provide lots of play time and cuddles! I always leave homes cleaner than they are left. My reviews are older because of the break I took from Rover to care for my senior pup, but I still value the same service.

“Excellent daycare for my young pups. Greg clearly knows how to manage dogs of all kinds and was easy to trust with my 3m old pups. His dog got along great with them and their yard was a fantastic area to get some exercise. Greg also provided walks in a lush green area of the island. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a dog of my own that I care for and pet sit for friends regularly! The pets I have cared for have become my pet friends and I go visit them even when I’m not sitting. Giving medication for pets is part of the daily routine with my pets so that will not be a problem if your fur baby needs to take medication. Daily walks and a lot of TLC is what I can provide for your pet along with any other needs that they may have. You can trust me to take care of your pet as well as I take care of my own because I understand how precious they are in our lives and it isn’t easy when you aren’t around them!! I am available most days all day to provide full care for your pet. Whatever their needs are I am able to be there for them and am sure to update my availability calendar to keep it up to date. I have a fenced in back yard with a friendly mini-schnauzer that pets can play in but they are also allowed in the house with easy access through a doggy door. I am home all day so if they can’t use the doggy door I can let them in and out of the house. If I’m your home I will do whatever they are used to.
About: 🌺 I will be on hiatus for dog services July-August for recovery. I will reopen dog services mid August!🌺 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.
“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!! 😊”
“Tracey and her family are truly the best. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that our fur baby was being spoiled and well taken cared of. Thank you for everything❤️”
“Very friendly and accommodating of a trip to San Antonio. Received pictures of the dogs playing and updated throughout the stay. Highly recommend. Great fenced yard to play in and inside playroom to cool off. Would book again if in the area.”
“You know when Bishop loves his dog sitters when he jumps out of the car and leaves me behind. He loves his Ate Theresa and Uncle Clint. Theresa like many other of the awesome dog angels in the community she has given me a peace of mind while on travel, work or taking care of appointments for my Kupunas. Communication with Theresa has been great and we appreciate some of the last minute changes due to work schedules. Thank you for taking care of our new member to our family.”
“Rebekah and Nova are the best! My little dog LOVES to spend the day with them - he always looks so content when I pick him up. She’s so considerate and very flexible. I highly recommend her as a sitter!”
“Shauna greeted us friendly and was able to see in early morning. Our family went to Kualoa Ranch which has no pet policy so we had Shauna for few hours. After pet sitting, my dog vomited few times since he ate sitter's dog food and I haven't been informed that.”
About: We’re dog lovers! Our home loves doggie energy. We can comfortably administer meds, injections and will walk daily. I work from home and my husband and I have flexible schedules. We can typically accommodate up to two consecutive weeks of care with consistent exercise and constant love. We are an active couple: beach time, hiking and daily walks are the norm for us. We believe that dogs are part of the family, whether they are our own or the fur babies of others. We have a 17 pound male terrier mix who is very playful. Being that I work from home, I'm here most of the day with an occasional appointment or meeting for a few hours. When Robert is off he's also home most of the day however he may go out for a bike ride or surf session. We also may meet up with friends for a meal out. Cooper (our fur baby) will be home to keep yours company but if you're looking for 24/7 type of care or if your fur baby has separation anxiety we are not the best fit since we may be out of the house at times. Your fur baby must also go potty outside unless we're caring for your pup who has physical or health issues that would hinder outdoor potty time. Our typical day starts with exercise then breakfast out on the lanai where you're fur baby will be able to join us. Per your permission/request and for an additional fee of $15/day, we will take your pup for a walk in the neighborhood. Walking your dog is almost a requirement because in our experience, they do MUCH better when they can get out with one of us humans and Cooper. We can discuss this on our meet and greet. We are open to taking your dog to the beach or on a hike if they do well in that environment. Your dog must be good on leash and obey basic commands if requesting walks or anything that would require a leash/lead. If you would like to add dog walking please let us know so that we can adjust the fee because it's not included in the boarding fee. Thanks! We have a fenced-in backyard with a doggie door so your dog can take their potty break whenever needed. My office has an open door policy so they will always have company when they want it. There is plenty of shade and grassy area for them to play and hang out. Our walks are typically around the neighborhood where there are very few cars passing by, if any. There is a park walking distance from our house and we may walk the park at times. Most often either I or Robert will be home and Cooper will be home to keep your fur-baby company if the humans need to leave for a short time.
About: A retired marine biologist. I have had dogs my entire life. Raised puppies and watched them grow old. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels. Retired. I’m available most days if you need your pets to be simply fed, let out to pee, or to be entertained. While I take same day requests, there are no guarantees because I have several regularly scheduled walks and drop ins. Please reply promptly, I archive when no response in 24 hours. I have a fenced yard and a young corgi who has full run of the house. He can be shy to other dogs. If your dog has any aggressive tendencies or Keahi does not get along with them for whatever reason, we cannot board your dog. Meet and greets are mandatory before any boarding or daycare. Dogs must be house trained for boarding or daycare (paper trained is not house trained). I cannot and will not leave food out. If your dog has issues eating when they are fed (I feed them when I feed my dog), I have to take your dog’s food away and store it. This is a house, not a kennel where your dog has an assigned lot. If your dog has these feeding issues, consider another sitter. I have no kids on property.
About: Hi! I’m Becky, and I absolutely love animals. I’ve spent my life around both dogs and cats and have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My own dog recently passed away, and we miss her every day. While our family isn’t in a position to have a pet of our own right now, we truly love having animals around and enjoy every opportunity to care for them. I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day. If your pet is boarding with us, they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I have the autonomy in my job to take breaks for walks, playtime, potty breaks, belly rubs, fetch sessions, or simply spending quality time with your pet. When your pet stays with us, they’ll be treated like part of the family and loved as if they were our own. I have two young children who are gentle, kind, and respectful of animals. Because of this, I only accept pets that are comfortable around children. Whether your pet prefers long walks, active playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having company throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their needs and routine. I care for both dogs and cats and will do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Thanks, Becky Wheeler We can work around your pets schedule. If they have a routine they are used to, let us know and we can accommodate that :) if there are rules your dog follows in your home, let us know and we will do our very best to follow the same rules in our home. I have a big fenced yard or a big comfy couch. Your pet will be able to choose if he/she wants to be outside or inside throughout the day.
About: I’ve grown up with animals (dogs, cats, birds, Guinea pigs) my whole life. I also managed a dog daycare & boarding shop for 7 years and am a certified vet assistant. I’m an aspiring kickboxer and run around throughout the day, however my family helps with dogs that are boarding overnight. Dogs have access to the yard 24/7 to use the bathroom/run around 😊 I have done dog boarding for 10 years at my own home. We have 4 large dogs but they are very used to having friends over. We have a double fenced yard and additional gates for extra safety (for escape artists)

About: I have taken care of pets for over 10 years now, both my own and for family or friends! I love hanging out with them, going on walks or runs, to the beach, playing fetch, cuddling in the yard, and giving them the love they deserve. I will treat your pet like it is my own! You will always come home to them happy and loved! I’m currently free all week mornings and afternoons. We can enjoy walks around the neighborhood, runs or swims at the beach, or fetch at home or the park. I always make sure to scan the surrounding environment to ensure the utmost safety and care. I make sure to avoid any uncomfortable situations for you or your pup or any mishaps with other dogs. I am trained to de-escalate high stress situations in a calm manner.
“Mary Ann did such a great job with Elle! Very grateful to her for her attention to detail and loving care. She is dependable, communicative and obviously knowledgeable about caring for dogs. She will be the first person I call if I need day care for Elle again.”
About: Aloha 🌈 I have been a pet owner for the last 11 years (dogs, cats, goats and ducks) and walked professionally on another app for 3 years in Los Angeles. I’m trustworthy and patient with reactive pets and am open to whatever your friend may need! I can take short walks, long walks, hikes, beach swims and really any activity your pet likes. I just love to be outside with animals. I can also visit at home and give lots of belly rubs and home care if that’s what’s needed. I have had elderly dogs as well and am happy and comfortable to provide special care for them. Great with huskies and couch potatoes alike. I am currently working an on-call position and always have Mondays and Tuesday off with fluctuating schedules week to week. I am available before 1pm every day though. I do travel occasionally. I will keep to your home rules and needs based on how you care for your pets. If they have a crate or area, they will be secured on your request with whatever food/water/ snacks are needed. I always prefer owners to provide snacks as many animals have allergies. I am happy to fulfill any special requests like feeding or medications.

About: Proud dad of two adult dogs! Studying for the Hawaii Bar Exam and looking for study breaks to walk some beautiful pups! I’d love to take your doggie out for a walk! 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.

About: I have been taking care of pets since I was very young, with the exception of snakes and spiders. I took care of dogs through Rover when my spouse was unavailable. My spouse was a professional explosive detection dog handler. I work from home and my spouse is a stay-at-home dad, so someone is home to take care of your fur babies, make sure they get played with and taken out for potty breaks. I have a very large yard that is completely fenced so your pet can enjoy off-leash time all day. Your pet will be able to come and go inside and outside as they please. Your pet will be played with and any obedience training will be reinforced. Your pet will be taken outside for a break and played with.
About: *Location: Hau'ula, HI* Registered Nurse for 10 years. Competitive athlete for 20 years. Throughout my childhood I grew up with Dobermans, Bichon Frise and Standard Poodles. I have unconditional love for all dogs and all their personality. Some breeds I've watched over the last 6 months include Rhodesian Ridgeback, Pitbull mix, French Bull dogs and Standard Poodle. I've trained dogs to swim and even surf. I am comfortable with post operative care and administration of medication. Pet sitting experience also includes rabbits, cats, exotic birds and small reptiles. Happy to spend time with your pet at any time of the day. Starting next month my goal is to transition to provide full time pet exercise service to the community. I enjoy going to the beach and being outdoors which is something I have found most dogs to enjoy as well. I can do as little or as much exercising as you request and the pup can handle. If they just want to cuddle and cruise I'm well versed in that program as well.
About: I got my first dog when I was 4 and started dog sitting for neighbors when I was 8. I worked with a group when I lived in Kansas City that did short term in-home dog fostering for 1 day to two weeks. My puppy experience comes from a few of my friends having puppies, but adult dogs are my favorite. I work full time from home, and can schedule walks in between meetings during the day. If the dog(s) are up for it I would love to take them hiking, SUPing, kayaking, to the beach, and to hang out with my friend's dogs. I prefer to keep the dog on a similar schedule to what they are used to and not overwhelm them with new experiences while their owners are gone. Please provide me with the needed information of your dog's routine.
About: I grew up in a household that loves animals. I’ve always had dogs around whether it was my own or I was taking care of others dogs. I also worked as a bather for over a year so I have experience with all kinds of dogs, big and small, old and young. I am working a part-time job right now and would love to be able to spend time taking care of dogs on my days off. Since I moved away from home I’ve missed having dogs around I have experience in walking both big dogs and small dogs so I know how to handle either and I know how to walk multiple dogs at once if needed
“Our 2 dogs had so much fun with Casey and her adorable dogs. They were worn out every evening (not a small feat). One of the days she wasn’t able to take them out due to weather, but she took them for double time the next day and issued me a refund for the missed day. I would definitely book with Casey again! Thank you!!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, but what truly sets me apart is my professional, hands-on experience working with them every day. I spent over three years at a dog daycare, where I grew from a daycare attendant to a dog trainer, and eventually became the daycare manager. This experience gave me the opportunity to work with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities in a structured and supervised environment. In addition to my daycare and training background, I have been a responsible dog breeder since 2022, raising four successful litters of Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers. This has given me an even deeper understanding of canine behavior, development, and attentive, hands-on care from early life stages through adulthood. I have a strong understanding of dog body language and behavior, which allows me to safely handle everything from high-energy dogs to more nervous or reactive ones. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and positive experience for every dog in my care. Dogs are not just a job to me, they are a huge part of who I am. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a Labrador Retriever, and they continue to deepen my love and understanding of what dogs need to feel secure, happy, and well cared for. When caring for your pet, I treat them as if they were my own. You can expect consistent communication, reliability, and attentive care throughout your time away. If you have any questions about my experience or would like to see if I’m a good fit for your pet, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love to connect with you. Pet care is a consistent and important part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule around providing dependable, attentive care, including regular feeding times, exercise, and enrichment tailored to each dog’s needs. While I do have dogs of my own, they are on a stable routine and well cared for, which allows me to plan my time responsibly and show up fully for the pets in my care. Because of this, I am mindful about how long I am away from home at a time, but I ensure that every visit and stay is intentional, reliable, and focused on your pet’s comfort and well-being. Whether your dog needs structured walks, playtime, or a calm and consistent presence, I am able to incorporate their routine seamlessly into my day. At this time, I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so that your pet can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take pride in following each dog’s specific needs, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, or simply providing a calm and attentive presence. I am very mindful of safety, structure, and reading dog body language to ensure your pet feels secure and well cared for at all times. If your dog enjoys walks, I am happy to take them around your neighborhood or to appropriate outdoor areas, depending on your preferences. I tailor each visit to match your dog’s energy level and routine. I offer a range of services including drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting depending on availability. My goal is to provide reliable, thoughtful care while keeping your pet happy, safe, and comfortable in your absence. If you have any questions, special requests, or concerns, I am always happy to communicate and make sure I am the right fit for you and your pet.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, rabbits, cats, lizards and snakes through the years. I’m told I have “a way,” but I like to think I just try to speak in an even but engaged tone, play when it’s time to play, and if rambunctious, use calming techniques to correct. I am retired so I have a flexible routine. I like to stay engaged with my community and help others keep their companions healthy and happy. I have adopted 3 rambunctious strays that are still settling in, so care in my home could only be on a special arrangement basis. In a client’s home, I would respect all directions given and ensure emergency numbers are provided.

“Casey was awesome in welcoming our Kanalu to her home and introducing her to her two dobermans! We were very relieved to know that our puppy was in good hands! Her communication was instant and our questions answered on daily check-ins. Definitely recommend Casey for caring for your family dog!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with my two furbabies! One who never slept out and the other who didn’t get along with other dogs, she understood them and their needs! And to top that off, she took this job with only a day’s notice! I recommend and have her saved for future trips 🫶🏼”
“Pei was amazing. He was able to accommodate our three dogs on very short notice. His property is fantastic for dogs, huge grass area, luxe kennels, and fully enclosed. Even though it was short notice he took the time to learn about my dogs and provided pictures and updates during their stay. Highly recommend trusting Pei with your fur babies, he treated our like they were his own.”
“Natalia is amazing! Our dogs had a seamless transition to her home, which she made so accommodating to the dogs she hosted. Natalia provided daily photos and updates of their adventures, which were all above and beyond! She was flexible when we thought our plans would be impacted by the Kona Low, every bit of communication was timely and thoughtful.”
“Angie and her family took care of my dog very good! My dog was very happy to play with them and comfortable to stay their house. Angie’s response was very quick and she welcomed us in front of their house at the drop off so we don’t need to wondering around the street. We look forward to seeing her and her family again for the next opportunity.”
“Dale and Lauren were wonderful for our cocker spaniel! We got messages and photos every day, and videos of him playing with the kids and dogs. They really cared about him and his wellbeing. I can say he truly enjoyed his time with them, and I appreciate that more than anything! I would absolutely recommend them, and will absolutely rebook with them!”

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.
“I just got my pup back from his weeklong. Stay with Diana and her family. He is so happy to have spent time with her two dogs and children. I will definitely be a return customer.

I would definitely use her services again because she made him feel at home.”
“Shauna has watched our huge goofy floof, Ruger, twice now and we’re so lucky to have found her! She takes great care of him and he loves her dog, Bella! Maybe too much 🤣 she’s easy to get a hold of, follows Rugers weird diet and eating routines, and plays his favorite game of fetch.”
“Makayla was absolutely wonderful with Huey! From the moment I booked, her communication was exactly what every pet parent hopes for when leaving their dog in someone else’s care. She sent regular updates and photos, asked thoughtful questions whenever she needed clarification, and was proactive about sharing any concerns related to his care. I booked on very short notice and still received top-tier service. It was clear that Makayla genuinely cared about Huey’s comfort, safety, and well-being. Knowing he was in such kind and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I trust Makayla completely with my fur babies and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Cici was so wonderful with my senior girl! I got pictures every single day! She cared for Zoey like she was one of her own pups. I’m so happy I found someone I can trust. I will definitely use Cici in the future.”
“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!!”
“We had the best experience with Megan and her family taking care of our pup Margo! Margo got plenty of exercise and care while we were out of town. Megan was super communicative and flexible.”
“Rose did a wonderful job of supporting Lucky when he was having a challenging time in his life. His owner, my son, was sent to a foreign country from Washington DC. Lucky was shipped separately and the travel was to take one day, but stretched out to two full days. Lucky was not his happy go "lucky" self. Two weeks later both my husband and I had commitments on the Mainland. I found Rose on Rover. Lucky was immediately drawn to her, because of her warm personality and experience with dogs. He seemed pretty relaxed. It was clear that his stay would be as exciting as his experiences in Washington DC, where he had numerous dog mates to play with every week. If you are searching for someone to support your dog in your absence, I strongly encourage you to consider Rose. She is excellent!”
“5-Star Review for Becky – Dog Sitter Extraordinaire! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently left Max and Bella in Becky’s care for 13 days while our family was away on vacation (July 1–13), and we couldn’t be happier with how everything went. From the very first meeting, Becky was professional, warm, and genuinely attentive to the details we shared about our two pups. Max (who can be a bit particular about his kennel routine) and Bella (our free-roaming social butterfly) both came home happy, healthy, and relaxed. Becky kept them on their normal schedule—plenty of walks, yard time, play sessions, and snuggles. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the trip, which gave us total peace of mind while we were gone. Knowing they were well cared for, exercised, and loved made our time away so much more enjoyable. Becky is an absolute gem, reliable, caring, and trustworthy. We would (and will) happily use her again and highly recommend her to any dog parent looking for top-notch care. Thank you, Becky, you helped make our family vacation stress-free! 🐾”
