“Jacque took amazing care of Cleo in her home while we traveled to Kauai for my son’s graduation trip! She sent daily pictures/videos to put my mind at ease. And, she gave her a bath the night before I picked her up so she was looking pretty and smelling great! I would not hesitate to use Jacque again!”
“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!”
“I contacted Angie by accident, I was trying to contact someone else. But she immediately made me feel so at ease & welcoming I decided to go with her instead, and I'm so glad I did. She has a great family & I trusted my cat in her care. Her son was so very good with her and she had to have trusted him alot to be comfortable enough to get up on his desk and lie down as if he owns the place. Lol. I'm so glad to have found a sitter I can trust my cat with and not have to worry. I know I'll turn to them again in the future. I'm sure she'll miss Jayce. Thank you so much for loving Kitty!!”
“Dale & Lauren were great hosts! Super friendly and provided a great atmosphere for the pups. They sent photos and updates every day, including adventures that took place. Strongly recommend to anyone considering!”
“Rebecca and her girls took great care of my dog. She responds quickly and communicates clearly. I received photos of my dog every day. I was able to enjoy my trip stress free knowing that my dog was happy and healthy. They treated my dog like part of the family. You couldn't leave your pup in better hands!”
“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.”
“McKenley was great. She kept me informed on how Bullet was doing everyday. Numerous pictures everyday. I definitely recommend her and look forward to using her again.”
“Dorothy enjoyed her stay with Yvette. Also really grateful for the tips, pictures and for the last minute accommodation. Looking forward to another stay hopefully soon.”
“Kyrie is awesome!! Can’t recommend highly enough. Rosie gets so excited whenever she realizes we’re heading to her house. She’s treated like family, gets to run around safely in a gated yard, and has become besties with Kyrie’s toddler. We appreciate all the photos and videos we get when we’re away, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing our pup is in good hands with a great sitter and family.”
“Very responsive, kind, and attentive to both of our dogs (and to us). From the moment we picked them up from boarding, we knew that they truly enjoyed themselves. Photos throughout the boarding helped to put our minds at ease. Everything was truly great and we definitely know that we will use Tracey again! Mahalo for loving our babies as much as we do!”
“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.”
“I had to find a very last minute sitter for 9 nights for my pupper and Senne was so accommodating and welcoming. When I met her I felt like I didn’t have to worry. She was receptive of my instructions and sent me updates the entire week. I could tell she loved having my pup there. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you Senne!”
“Greg was great! Poppy loved being there and loved his dog Zephyr! Greg sent photos everyday and I could tell Poppy was having a great time. Greg was easy to deal with and has a great dog property. I would book with him again.”
“Danica is great, she took care of my Tamago like her own. Daily multiple updates and lots of snuggles for my kid. Couldn’t be happier to have left Tamago in her care.”
“We booked with Khaled on somewhat short notice and also extended our trip a few days. He was responsive, flexible and accommodating from the start. For two and a half weeks Khaled provided frequent and consistent updates, sending multiple pictures and videos every day. We never had to wonder, let alone worry, about what our Cooper was up to. Cooper had a great time running and playing in their yard and cuddling and snoozing in their laps. We greatly appreciated Khaled’s care for Cooper as well as his communication with us!”
“Keala was very on it and loving to our Frenchie we enjoyed our trip knowing that our baby was in very good hands. Thank you Keala you are the best we will definitely leave Kyara with you again! ??”
“Ace had a wonderful stay with Emma! She is so warm and kind. Loved that she sent a video of Ace and a photo right before bed. Totally eased my mind and was worry free about him. Will definitely have Ace stay with her again. :) Thank you Emma.”
“Tara was awesome! We received pictures and updates through the duration of our trip. We were initially worried about how our dog would react but Tara was nice enough to meet with us before hand and answer any questions or concerns we had. She had so much patience with our girl that we didn’t have to worry. Thank you Tara for taking care of our Baby Girl Ella!”

“Katie did a great job dropping in and feeding my cats. One of my cats went into hiding right before we left, and I was worried that he may have somehow gotten out. Katie found him in the house and sent me pictures so I could relax and focus on my trip. I got pictures everyday, and an update as to what they were doing. Would definitely recommend Katie and will be calling her the next time I go away.”
“I am so happy to have found Alice! She made the time to meet my two cats and they love her!! She managed to make my shy boy feel comfortable and safe, as he is easily distracted and afraid of strangers. She asked for clarification and suggestions on how to feed them, given my girl is hungry all the time and my boy is not food motivated at all. Alice helped me modify my Rover request to add a visit. I'm so thankful to have been able to leave my cats in her care. I will definitely hire her again in the future!”
“Sarah was beyond phenomenal! Chloe instantly loved Sarah’s warm energy! We were so happy to come across Sarah’s page. Definitely recommend if you’re in need of a sitter!”
“Lilly was an absolutely fantastic sitter for my kitty. Always timely, superb communication, excellent care and I could tell my cat enjoyed her company. Highly recommend!!”
“Bryanna was amazing with our large black lab. We really appreciated her help with drop in visits and I highly recommend reaching out to her if she is available.”
“I highly recommend Kalyn for anyone needing dependable care. She was professional, trustworthy, and followed all instructions perfectly. My cat requires oral medication, and she administered it without any issues or stress. Her communication was consistent and clear throughout the process. I felt very comfortable leaving my pet in her hands. We will rebook in the future.”
“Rebecca was the best sitter for our cats over the holidays! She took such good care of our girls and sent us tons of pictures which we absolutely loved. Communication was great and we could tell the girls really bonded with her! That made us feel so good and allowed us to enjoy our trip much more. Will definitely be booking her again next time. Thanks so much Rebecca!!”
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.
About: I have always been an animal lover but am waiting for the right time to get a dog of my own. Through my busy schedule, I have always made time to volunteer at local animal shelters to provide time walking dogs, shelter care as well as foster care. I would be honored to provide your furry friend all the love and care every dogs deserves. I enjoy staying busy and am willing to be very flexible. I love all pups, no matter the breed, shape or size. Willing to provide leisurely walks or a quick run, whatever is needed. Will do anything necessary to provide a safe and happy experience for your pooch. I can provide care for any medical, physical, behavioral or dietary needs. Stay well and thank you for your consideration!!!
About: I've been taking care of pets for family and friends since I was a teenager. I love to be around animals of all kinds and they are so sweet.

I will make sure your animal is taken care of and all gates, doors are locked. Safety is my top priority when caring for animals.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kailua
“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!”
“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! 💛”
“Rose took wonderful care of Mana. She was kind, caring, Mana was happy and well looked after, and I could tell she was in great hands. I’m so glad I chose Rose as our sitter. Thank you so much for your excellent care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
About: 🌺 I will be on hiatus July-August for surgery and recovery🌺 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.
About: I’ve been the primary caretaker for my dog for the past 7 years, handling everything from daily walks and feedings to baths and medication. I walk him at least four times a day and try to get in a longer mile-ish walk a few times a week so he can explore at his own pace. I’ve also cared for several friends’ dogs for multi-day stays ranging from a couple of days to over a week. Between that and growing up around pets, I’m very comfortable reading a dog’s personality and routine. My wife has lived with dogs her whole life as well, so our home is very dog friendly. Dogs are welcome on the couch and our own dog sleeps in bed with us. I’ve also done a fair bit of basic training with him. I taught him “wait” (stay), helped him get comfortable with paw cleaning after walks, and even set up a little “dog nest” on the bed that he now uses as his sleeping spot. I’m attentive to routines, meds, and the little details that make pets feel comfortable. I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my day. I’m around most of the time and able to give dogs attention, bathroom breaks, and supervision throughout the day. Our normal routine is a morning outing, one in the afternoon, another around 5–6pm, and a final one around 9pm before bed. If a dog needs to go out sooner or starts pawing at the door, I’m always happy to take them out. I try to fit in longer walks when the weather and work schedule allow, usually in the evenings. Because I’m home during the day, pets aren’t left alone for long stretches and get plenty of interaction. I work from home and have a wrap-around fenced yard, so dogs have plenty of safe space to wander and get fresh air. I keep a close eye on them when they’re outside and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax and make themselves comfortable. Our home is very dog friendly, and we’re used to having pets around. If a dog needs to be crated for sleeping or while we step out briefly, we do have a crate available. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, and any specific instructions from owners. I’m also happy to send photos or videos throughout the stay so you can see how your pet is doing.
“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!”
“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.”
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.
“Kaleo loved being at Michelle's and found a happy connection with her mom! He almost didn't want to leave. Loved the pictures Michelle posted, pampered pup. So glad we found her on Rover.com. Kaleo said he'll be back, and I agree. Thank you Michelle!”
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’ve cared for dogs of all sizes for over 15 years and have extensive experience providing loving, attentive care. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pets. I currently have a dog named Dolly, who is a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pets in my home receive plenty of attention, supervision, and exercise throughout the day. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I take dogs on regular walks and use a secure backyard lead for safe outdoor time, bathroom breaks, and fresh air. I always prioritize pets’ comfort, safety, and routines to help them feel at home.
About: I love all animals! I have dog sat for over 10 years for various clients including a 14 year old lab, 5 year old dachshunds, 13 year old bichon, 2 year old rescue, 2 year old pit mix, 3 year old lab and 10 year old shih tzus. I also have experience with many cats. I have also cared for rabbits, parrots, horses, potbelly big, fish ponds, chickens and gardens. I am comfortable administering medication and preparing special meals. I also worked at Poi Dogs Daycare and Boarding, so I have lots of experience with many different types of dogs. I will respect your house and space. I look forward to meeting your pets! I work in Kailua and check in on them mid day.
“Alyssa was such a wonderful host for our dobie girl. Our pup had other pups to play with and lots of great attention. She fell right to sleep in the car after pick up. I definitely recommend Alyssa!”
About: Aloha, I’m Angela! I have 10 years of pet sitting and 15 years as a dog owner! I understand that pets are family. I was raised with dogs and rabbits, and later adopted two wonderful senior dogs from the Humane Society, who taught me so much about love, patience, and care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry loved ones, and I’ll treat them as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just quiet company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home which provides flexibility throughout my day after dropping my daughter off at school. With that said, dependent on your needs, I’m able to accommodate your schedule to my best ability as long as we have discussed a weekly schedule in advance. sorry, I cannot care for your pet at my home due to lease restrictions! However, I have many years of experience of caring for pets and children as a nanny throughout graduate school. I’m respectful, always keep your home clean (if not cleaner!) throughout my service.
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.
“Arianah is a wonderful sitter for Levi. She always gets him to eat all his food and takes care of him like her own dogs! Levi loves hanging out with her when I have to work.”

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.
“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.”
“Katie is very caring, responsible, and our older dog loves all of her attention! It's a great relief to us knowing that our dog is still getting a mid-day outing when our work schedules get crazy. She's wonderful!”
“Fantastic job walking our puppy, feeding him and playing with him. Also super professional and knowledgeable about dogs and puppy devlopement. Absolute Pleasure to work with with.”
“Awesome experience with Tony taking care of our pups. He was so sweet with them, and sent pictures every day to ease my anxious dog-mom mind. Communication was excellent, and Tony was flexible with taking care of each dog's individual needs and quirks. Would definitely use Tony and Karen again when the need arises!”
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!
About: I have dog sat puppies and older dogs! I am flexible and willing to learn anything necessary to assist you best I can. I am excited to meet all animals! I am currently working Part-Time.

Leave me with clear instructions and I will make sure that they are safe, comfortable and happy while you are away.

About: Patient and experienced dog lover based in Kailua. Animals have always been a big part of my life — from playful puppies and energetic big dogs to gentle seniors. I know that every pet has their own personality and needs, so I make sure to tailor my care to what makes your furry friend happiest. Whether that’s long walks, backyard playtime, snuggles on the couch, or just a calm and steady presence, I’m here to give them the love and attention they deserve. I currently have a very flexible schedule and work from home. Weekdays my transportation is more limited, but most locations in the kailua/kaneohe are no issue. I do not offer boarding in my house. However, I take safety, consent, and trust very seriously. This includes digital privacy of my client's pets and home.
About: Ive always had pets growing up and so being around them and playing with my dog and cat at home has always been a wonderful thing for me. Since I went to school its been a little lonely without them but Ive been able to bring my dog up for some visits which is always nice. Im great with handling all size dogs so that will never be an issue. I live in a very active household, so if your pup enjoys going for long walks/runs, or just a lot of social interaction and snuggles, then we could be a really good fit. Im a very relaxed sitter, who just loves having dogs around and wants to hang out and care for your loved one.
About: I was a foster mom to many cats and dogs and love pets of all kinds. Very comfortable with both younger pets who still need training and older pets who need constant love. I am confident in giving medication and constant love and affection. I can be your trusted pet sitter while you enjoy your time away from home. I have a normal schedule when I am in town I am able to constantly check in on your fur babies. They will have constant attention and anything that they need. I am always willing to follow any normal schedules that you follow with your pets so that they don’t feel any changes when you aren’t there. Your pets will be walked, loved, and fed the same as if you were there.
About: I’ve spent my entire life around dogs and animals, helping raise my family’s pets and learning firsthand how to provide the best possible care. I’m also a volunteer with the Humane Society, where I’ve fostered injured dogs back to full recovery as well as kittens and cats ranging from just 2 weeks old to a few years old. I currently live in Kailua on Oahu and am excited to help as many pet owners as I can. I truly love animals and always treat them like family, making sure your furry loved one feels safe, happy, and well cared for. As an added bonus, I also offer complimentary pet photography for any pets I care for, so you’ll receive some special photos of your pet during their time with me. Through my experience, I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I provide personalized care that can include feeding, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, rest, medication administration, and socialization. I am comfortable administering medications to both cats and dogs, and many of the animals I’ve fostered required medical care and rehabilitation, giving me hands-on experience with sick or injured pets as well. Reach out to me at any time! I am happy to help when I can:) I am readily available any day and any time at the moment! I also exercise daily and go on long walks. More than happy to include a pet during this time for some exercise! With my experience I know that every pet has its own routine and different approach that is needed for care. Care includes feeding, exercise/ playtime, training, rest, medication routine, and socialization. The animals I have voluntarily fostered all required medication and rehabilitation due to injuries/illness from being stray animals. This experience taught me how to care for sick/injured animals as well.
About: Hi, my name is Ellen! I'm a grad student looking to walk and look after people's pets in my free time! I have worked as a veterinary assistant for 6 years (and received the accolade "Expert Handler"), I've worked taking care of exotic animals at an animal rescue, and I've worked at the zoo, among many other animal related jobs. I had a dog that recently passed away after 14 years so I have personal experience with pets as well and am capable of taking care of sick/aging dogs. You can trust that your pets would be in caring, experienced hands! And get plenty of walks! I'm a very active person, the more walks in a day the better! I would be honored to take care of your pet! Working 8-4 on weekdays otherwise available for lots of long dog walks! Also available for drop in’s to check in on pets, feed them, and play with them! Currently I can’t take any pets in my apartment but more than willing to stop by client homes to feed, walk, and care for their loved pets.
“Pono doesn’t trust just anyone, so I was pleasantly surprised Kellie was able to coax him out of his crate and on a walk! She was patient and took a lot of time and care to make sure he was comfortable. Such a relief on a busy day at work!!”
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.

“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!”
“I contacted Angie by accident, I was trying to contact someone else. But she immediately made me feel so at ease & welcoming I decided to go with her instead, and I'm so glad I did. She has a great family & I trusted my cat in her care. Her son was so very good with her and she had to have trusted him alot to be comfortable enough to get up on his desk and lie down as if he owns the place. Lol. I'm so glad to have found a sitter I can trust my cat with and not have to worry. I know I'll turn to them again in the future. I'm sure she'll miss Jayce. Thank you so much for loving Kitty!!”

“Having someone take care my dog in a loving home setting like she was one of their own was exactly what I found with Eugene and his wife! They really went above and beyond to make the experience stress-free and easy. And when I picked up my dog I could tell right away she had built a trust with them and had lots of fun. Thanks Eugene for the awesome care!”
“Kea would love to stay with Katharine and David again. He was very well taken care of. He was able to go on an adventure. He liked having his walks and making new friends!”
“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!”
