“At this point we joke that when Giz goes to Greg's house. That it's his vacation from us. He doesn't even look back when we drop him off. Might offer to share custody soon. In all seriousness, Greg has afforded us the ability to take trips again and know that without a shadow of a doubt that Giz is taken care off. He sends us action shots of the dogs and always gives us updates. We literally can not ask for more. He's the best.”
“So appreciative of Halina watching my cat Johnnie while I traveled. She put me at so much ease with it being my first long trip away from the island and made me feel like Johnnie would be loved and safe while gone, which she 110% was. Communication was super fast and always helpful and informative and Johnnie was always in good spirits in videos. I will certainly be booking again with her 😊”
“First time using Rover and so glad we found Joel! He took great care of our dog Naia, even while she had an unexpected injury. It meant a lot to know that she was in good hands while we were gone, and seems like she had a great time. Mahalo Joel!”

“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!”
“Pei is awesome! Very knowledgeable and outstanding communication. My girl Nezuko was immediately drawn to him and he was able to calm her and get her to follow commands when they first met before booking. I am very apprehensive about leaving my Nezuko with anyone and he really put mine mind at ease. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter who will take care of their fur baby. Thank you so much Pei!”

I would definitely use her services again because she made him feel at home.”

“Andrea took such good care of our dogs! One had an unexpected medical emergency the day we left and she handled additional medication on short notice with ease. She was communicative and sent us plenty of updates throughout the week and change our dogs were with her. We are so grateful to have left our pups in such caring hands!”
About: Throughout college I cared for many dogs for family, friends, and as a side gig. I am experienced in dog walking, feeding, oral medication administration, and light grooming. I always enjoy sending pictures of your pet to show what a great time we are having! As a stay at home mom, I have great flexibility. I would also like to share that I have two friendly dogs that are kennel and potty trained in our home and a two year old daughter. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to walk dogs and do light care during the day. As for overnight care, we have two dogs that love pet friends as long as they are friendly and get along with others. We typically go to an on-leash park in the evenings and do outings on weekend mornings. We have two small, friendly dogs and a toddler that will keep your dog more than entertained! We have a small outdoor area for on-leash play and are a three minute drive to a big park/field where we have a good dog community. We want your dog to feel comfortable and happy during their stay so the first 24 hours is just about learning about your dog and gaining their trust!
“It’s never easy leaving your fur baby with someone new but, Maddy made Bella feel like family which made this transition so much easier. Maddy is a wonderful dog whisperer and a great fur babysitter. HIGHLY RECOMMEND thank you so much for a wonderful experience.”
“This was a trial daycare stay for Aiko before her 4-day boarding with Sonia later this month. We wanted to be sure both Aiko and Sonia felt comfortable with each other. We were so happy to learn that Aiko loved being with Sonia. She took excellent care of Aiko during her 7-hour daycare stay. Aiko had Sonia’s undivided attention, and they spent a lot of time cuddling on the sofa, which Aiko just loves. Since this will be Aiko’s first boarding, we feel at ease knowing that Aiko will be in good hands. in good hands.”
“Very good dog sitter , she was kept us updated on our dog and shared us many pictures of our dog 🙏🏽 10/10 my dog didn’t even want to come back home he had such a wonderful time 🙏🏽 thank you again for everything 🙏🏽”

About: I’ve had kittens and cats since I was little. I have also fostered over 20 cats and kittens from the humane society including giving medication, bottle feeding, litter training. My current cat Boo is 4 years old and I adopted her when she was 10 weeks old as foster fail. I’ve taken care of up to 8 cats/kittens at one time.
About: Cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I truly can’t imagine my life without them! I currently have two beloved kitties of my own, including my 17-year-old senior kitty. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats of all ages, from kittens to seniors, and I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, handling hairballs and accidents, and providing the extra patience some cats need. I also have past experience fostering cats and helping capture kitties, which has given me experience working with cats who may be shy, anxious, scared, or unsure of new people. I understand that every cat has their own personality and boundaries. Some want to be your best friend immediately, while others need time and space before they decide you’re worthy of their attention! I’m happy to meet them where they are. Now that I’m retired, I have the opportunity to spend my time doing something I genuinely love: caring for animals. My cats are family to me, and when someone trusts me with their kitty, I want them to feel confident that their cat will be treated with the same love, patience, and care I give my own.
“Kenzie took great care of my two cats during the holiday week. She even thought to give them a turkey dinner dish for thanksgiving. I came home to happy cats, clean litter boxes, fresh food and water. I will book her again when I go on vacation.”
“We are very happy to have had Destiny care for Kika, our 14 year old cat! This was our second time booking Destiny to care for Kika while we were away on a trip. Destiny truly cared for Kika and would send us Rover cards after each visit which really eased our worries. If you are looking for someone to care for your cat(s), Destiny is the best there is!”
About: My family used to have a ton of cats who somehow all got along. We would rescue them from the shelter and my favorite thing was watching them play. I used to house sit a lot of my neighbors cats as well and just love being around them. I love their vibe and how they are so individualistic.
About: I’m someone people have trusted in high responsibility roles where staying calm, attentive, and dependable matters. I’ve worked as a frontline worker and patient transporter at The Queen’s Medical Center during COVID, as a lifeguard, and as a pilot positions where people rely on you to stay sharp, handle pressure, and do the right thing when no one is watching. That same level of care and responsibility is exactly how I approach looking after animals. I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, including my Doberman, Floyd, and always considered myself a dog person. But after moving in with my partner, I discovered a deep love for cats as well. Her three cats quickly became my best friends and completely changed the way I understood pet care. From the start, they followed me around the house, watched everything I did, and were genuinely curious about me. I quickly learned that cats are very different from dogs. They are gentle, observant, and sensitive animals who reward patience and respect. Caring for them made me more mindful in everyday life I learned to slow my pace, move calmly, watch my step, and create a peaceful environment where they feel safe. Over the past four years, I’ve taken on full cat care responsibilities: feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, baths when needed, walks, transportation to the vet, and learning cat behavior so I can give them the best care possible. I’m the proud “Cat Daddy” of the house and always learning more about feline health, enrichment, and safety. Because of that experience, I understand that every pet has a unique personality. Some want affection immediately, some need patience, some want to play, and some simply want calm companionship. I adapt to the animal in front of me. Whether your pet is a high-energy dog, a shy cat, or somewhere in between, they will be safe, respected, and genuinely cared for with me. My goal is simple: make sure your pets feel secure, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
About: I understand the temperament of kitties and understand that they are different from dogs, so I treat them accordingly by paying attention to them because I want to understand them so I can love them the best way I can!

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.
“Rose was fantastic with our dog Bo! He came to her daily throughout our move to the island until we were settled into our new home. She kept him active by going on hikes and sent the cutest pictures of him being loved on in her home. We will definitely be booking again! 🐾”
“Michela was incredible with Charlie!! We had to reserve her last minute and she was super responsive and kept us updated all throughout Charlie’s stay. He had so many walks and off leash time, he was such a happy puppy being with her. She even took the time to give him a bath after his playtime! Michela really went above and beyond with Charlie and I will definitely be asking her to watch Charlie again.”
About: 40 years of experience for those looking for one on one care with in depth knowledge and fondness of animals with lots of cuddles and TLC provided while you are away. I will be able to provide one on one care with lots of time to play with attentiveness for your furry kid while you are away. Your pet will get TLC, cuddles and care with three walks a day, can administer medications and special diets and care while you are away.
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 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 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.
“I never used Rover before and I am a helicopter dog mom but Haily made me feel comfortable. I love the video and pictures that i get throughout the day she’s with him. Milo (my puppy) absolutely loves going to doggy daycare with her.”
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.
“Nichole was absolutely wonderful with my pups! Some sitters are iffy about my Keani but Nichole was so welcoming and loving to my special girl. So appreciative!”
“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: I will care for your pet as if it were my own, ensuring its needs are met, providing love and attention, and adhering to any specific feeding, walking, and grooming routines. As a stay-at-home wife and mom, I can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I have the time to give your pets attention, take them for walks or play catch, and provide overnight boarding and companionship in my home. With a fenced yard, your pet will have plenty of space for fresh air and play. My spacious two-story home allows lots of roaming space for your dog. However, I can accommodate specific requests, such as keeping your pet downstairs, crating at night, or allowing it to roam and sleep on its bed.
About: Ever since I can remember I have been obsessed with animal. I grew up caring for our household pets, neighbor's animals, and showing dogs. Since moving to Hawai'i I felt like I lost apart of who I am since I haven't been able to be around many animals. This job will be a great opportunity for me because since I am unable to get my own pets right now I'll be able to do what I love again-caring for animals. I have a flexible schedule so when I get a booking I am able to be fully devoted to your pet as if they were my own. Every pet and owner are different so I think its important to listen to what their pet needs and adjust. I am a very calm person and have always been able to gain the trust of animals. Animals come first so all their needs will be met before my own.
About: I provide gentle, calm care for cats, always tuning into their personality and comfort level while offering a quiet, loving presence and meeting their daily needs. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and a calm, home-based lifestyle, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and presence throughout the day.

“Our mini Aussie Brew loves staying with Lily and her goldens! He has a blast and doesn’t want to leave. He is always well cared for and we get videos of him playing which we love! Recommend for both boarding and doggy daycare!”
About: As a lifelong pet lover, animals have always been a central part of my home and heart. I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Whether your pet is an energetic pup who needs long daily walks, a high-strung rescue needing a gentle touch, or a senior kitty looking for a quiet lap, I tailor my care to their individual routine. I am particularly experienced with sensitive and special needs pets. I understand that nervous, anxious, or fearful animals require extra patience, soft communication, and strict adherence to their comfort zones. I am fully comfortable and meticulous with routine medication administration (oral/topical), managing specific dietary needs, and monitoring behavioral cues to ensure your pet feels secure, safe, and loved while you are away. I own and operate my own internet-based business, which allows me to work 100% remotely from my laptop. Because I set my own schedule and work from home, your pet will rarely be left alone. I am available for frequent pot-breaks, playtime, mid-day walks, and strict medication schedules throughout the day. My flexible routine allows me to adapt entirely to your pet’s typical home environment, making my care ideal for sensitive, anxious, or special-needs pets who thrive on consistent company and minimal disruption.

Because I work remotely, I am able to give your home and pet dedicated, low-stress supervision throughout the day. I treat your living space with the utmost respect, maintaining high standards of cleanliness, security, and privacy while ensuring your pet feels completely safe in their own familiar environment. To minimize anxiety, I strictly adhere to your established ground rules, feeding schedules, and medication routines. During our daily activities, I maintain full focus on your pet's well-being by keeping dogs securely leashed, staying mindful of environmental triggers, and providing a calm, patient atmosphere where sensitive or special-needs pets can relax and feel completely cared for while you are away.
“Eylul is so kind and attentive to our dog Benny! She communicates quickly and clearly and was very helpful. Most of the time when Benny stays somewhere he gets stressed and nervous, but not with Eylul - he was just happy and looked so comfortable. I will absolutely book with Eylul again!”
“Taylor is an absolute godsend! As well as her husband Kevin. She takes care of Kahlo weekly when I go to work and I am able to relax knowing Kahlo is in the best hands. I went on my first trip recently and Kahlo stayed with Taylor and Kevin for several days. Being a new dog mom, meant I had overwhelming anxiety leaving on my first trip and was so worried about leaving my dog convinced she would have serious separation anxiety. Well, I was totally wrong. LOL. I am honestly not sure that Kahlo wanted to leave. She had the best time and enjoyed all the attention she was spoiled with during her stay. Taylor was so sweet and sent me so many updates and pictures throughout her stay. She even printed a keepsake of pictures from her stay that I now have in my home. I was able to relax and enjoy my time away. It has been a true blessing finding Taylor. She is kind, communicative, and treats your dog as her own. Thank you Taylor and Kevin for being so awesome ❤️! Truly Grateful.”

“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 have had dogs and cats my whole life and they are truly my passion. I care for their health and needs, possibly more than my own, and I will put in the same care and care into your fur babies! Connecting with each animal and earning their trust is my protocol first and foremost. I have a lot of experience caring for a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, and can provide personalized care while carefully following any instructions given. If you book with me I promise to earn you and your precious fur baby's trust! My schedule is very flexible as I work part-time remotely at the moment and I am also available on the weekends for any Rover bookings. At this time I do not offer pet sitting in my home but when in my client's home, my priority is providing a calm and safe space for the pets. I will follow all instructions given as well as any specific care instructions for those with special needs. My goal is to mimic the pet's normal routine as much as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I focus on building trust by respecting each pet’s comfort level and offering gentle, positive interactions while staying attentive to their needs. I also take safety seriously by securing doors and gates and closely supervising outdoor activities. My goal is to ensure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for just as they would at home with you!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience training puppies, as I have raised 2 of my own. I also am experienced caring for dogs with difficult personalities and quirks. Over this summer I fostered a lab who had been bit by a snake and was in charge of administering her medication at the right times. I am very available to take care of your pups or kitties as I am working remotely & make my own hours. I am available on weekdays & weekends from sunrise to sunset. I have a fenced yard that I have at my home that a dog would have fun playing in. I am also a very active person and am always going on runs, walks, hikes, and trips to the beach which I am more than willing to bring your pet on.
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and intention I bring to each visit. I don’t rush through walks or treat them as routine tasks—I make sure your dog gets real engagement, structure, and positive interaction every time. Whether it’s a high-energy walk or a calm check-in, I adapt to what your pet needs that day so they come back happy, balanced, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to plan walks, drop-ins, and visits around the pet’s needs rather than forcing them into a rigid time slot. Since I’m already home throughout the day, I’m able to provide consistent availability, quick response times, and reliable scheduling for morning, midday, and evening care. I can also easily adjust my routine if a pet needs extra attention, a longer walk, or last-minute care. Overall, my flexibility lets me prioritize each pet’s routine and well-being while making sure owners can count on dependable, stress-free support. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean, and consistent environment while making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they’re used to. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions provided so nothing is disrupted. During visits, I focus on creating a safe and positive experience—whether that means structured walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just calm companionship for pets who prefer a quieter presence. I also make sure to communicate updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.
“Nicole was fantastic! She bonded with our dog right away and put us and him at ease. She’s been easy to work with and takes special care of our pet, all you can ask of someone coming to your home to take care of your pet. Highly recommend Nicole !”
About: I’d love to know anything that will help me make your pet feel as comfortable as possible! Let me know about their normal routine, personality, favorite things, any special needs, or behaviors I should be aware of. Every pet is different, and I’m more than happy to adjust to what works best for them. My schedule is pretty flexible! I work occasionally, but my hours change from week to week, so I’m usually able to move things around to fit your dog’s needs. I’m available most days and can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, or spending extra time with your pup. I always try to care for someone’s pet the way I’d want mine to be cared for. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while also sticking to their normal routine and any instructions you leave. I know it can be stressful trusting someone new with your pet, so I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know they’re happy and in good hands.
About: I have been around animals my whole life. Ever since I was born there has not been a time where a dog was not considered part of the family. I am experienced with reptiles owning tortoises(turtles) both land and wet(swimming) kind. I have bred and raised Jackson chameleons and had one frog. For dogs I have done both group training as well as one on one personalized training for dogs passed puppy stage. After an injury and a period of hospitalization I saw how instrumental pet therapy is to patients recovering and the difference they make when going through painful treatments first hand. After re-learning and regaining my ability to walk took it upon myself to train and certify…i with my own emotional support and therapy dog,(Floyd) who i trained personally. He has gone through all basic obedience training in St. Louis, Missouri as well as defensive training. He has also achieved his k9 good citizen ship and has his “love on leashes” qualification which basically allows us to visit hospitals and meet with patients. Floyd is a 125 pound tall black floppy eared loving Doberman who couldn’t hurt a fly, infact he’s actually afraid of them. He is well traveled and the best mannered dog I have ever trained and owned. I adopted him from the St. Louis human society in Missouri where he was found wondering the hi-way. He was just under a year old and was malnourished with a stomach problem. Since then he has been all over on adventures with me, He has flown more then 5 times on a plane and was even invited to the cockpit by the pilot for a picture, Weather its riding the train to Chicago, swimming in the asabo river in Michigan or playing in the snow at Times Square Floyd is always down. To me he embodies and proves the saying that dog is truly mans best friend. He has saved my life and touched so many others while visiting patients giving back and volunteering. My schedule is very flexible, and I have full control over how I plan my days. Most of my work and obligations are scheduled ahead of time, which allows me to build my routine around each pet’s needs. When I accept a booking, I make sure I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Your pet’s routine, comfort, feeding schedule, walks, and care instructions will always be my priority I create a calm, clean, and secure environment for every pet I care for. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language, personality, and routine so I can help them feel comfortable and safe. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication needs, walks, litter box cleaning, and house rules. I’m also very mindful about doors, gates, leashes, and anything that could become a safety issue. My goal is to care for your pet with the same patience, respect, and attention I would want for my own.
About: I enjoy being outdoors/ walking, I am comfortable with multiple dogs, full time availability. And open to helping in whatever way is needed. I have also help extensively in child care and special needs, so am open to that as well. I am currently working from home and in my free time I’m outdoors playing volleyball, hiking, or doing something active. My day is more enjoyable when I get to be around animals and outdoors, so I made a profile that allows me to add that to my daily routine. When I’m caring for an animal, I make sure all their basic needs are met such as food, water, bathroom, playtime, affection. I then make sure to check in throughout the time to see their energy, and what else they might need.
About: I’ve always been a responsible pet owner since I was little and have had numerous unique pets growing up. I love pet sitting, walking, and taking care of them all as if they were my own 🩷 I am currently a substitute teacher and have some extra time and days I don’t have work so I have free time for walks and cuddles. I have always prioritized safety in my different occupations doing security and corrections most of my life. I take pride in people’s trust in me in different ways.
About: Ever since I can remember I have been obsessed with animal. I grew up caring for our household pets, neighbor's animals, and showing dogs. Since moving to Hawai'i I felt like I lost apart of who I am since I haven't been able to be around many animals. This job will be a great opportunity for me because since I am unable to get my own pets right now I'll be able to do what I love again-caring for animals. I have a flexible schedule so when I get a booking I am able to be fully devoted to your pet as if they were my own. Every pet and owner are different so I think its important to listen to what their pet needs and adjust. I am a very calm person and have always been able to gain the trust of animals. Animals come first so all their needs will be met before my own.

“At this point we joke that when Giz goes to Greg's house. That it's his vacation from us. He doesn't even look back when we drop him off. Might offer to share custody soon. In all seriousness, Greg has afforded us the ability to take trips again and know that without a shadow of a doubt that Giz is taken care off. He sends us action shots of the dogs and always gives us updates. We literally can not ask for more. He's the best.”
“Our puppy's 2nd time with Samantha and we're all still a huge fan! When we got to her house he was so excited to see her, he barely noticed we were leaving. Thanks Samantha for another fun stay for Miso!”
“We had an absolutely amazing experience with Casey. She took wonderful care of our German Shepherds and handled everything with confidence and ease. From daily routines to overall care, everything was managed seamlessly and without a single issue. For the first time, we were able to go on vacation and truly relax, knowing our dogs were in great hands. That peace of mind is priceless, especially with large breeds like German Shepherds. We came home to happy, well cared for dogs and a calm, orderly home. We are incredibly grateful and would be more than happy to have her care for our dogs again. Highly recommended!”
“Daylin and her family took really good care of my froggy boy💕, we received updates and pictures every day! Would definitely leave my dog with her again without a doubt 💕”
“Highly recommend! Brianda took great care of our Rex! She definitely knows how to make dogs comfortable & content. I’m sure Rex will think our house is boring now:)”

“Rose was a great communicator and made me feel especially comfortable leaving our dog with her. She takes the time to vet the animals she watches, and has the means to separate animals for slow intros or if the need arises. Throughout the stay she sent me really cute picture updates. I can tell she really cares about animals and their wellbeing is her top priority.”
“We were so lucky to meet someone like Dianne. Such a kind, patient, loving, attentive person is hard to come by. She has really help us more than she knows.”

“Steve was WODERFUL! Not only was Peaches happy and healthy when we picked her up, but we could tell that she was VERY happy while with Steve! Peaches has a VERY strict diet and he was able to keep her safe and healthy during the 2 weeks we were away. Not only is Steve great with Peaches but he is a VERY talented pet photographer!!! The picture he would send us each day made all of us smile (and sometimes laugh)! THANK YOU Steve!!!”
