I would highly recommend. Thank you again. Kate.”
“Just 4 days before this last stay with Joel, our dog had gotten severely attacked & bitten by another dog, at a local park. Bozzer (our puppy), was still in the early stages of healing. Joel was so kind to still take our dog, knowing he had to care for him a lot more than usual. Joel was AWESOME! He knew exactly what to do & reached out to us only when needed. Joel was versed with knowing how to administer Bozzer’s medication. I highly recommend Joel, to anyone looking for a GREAT sitter who is knowledgable about dogs, and is kind, loving & caring.”
“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.

“I can’t say enough great things about Maluhia, She took care of my dog, Teddy, for a full week and made the entire experience completely stress-free. From the start, she made both Teddy and me feel comfortable and at ease about being away from each other.She consistently sent photos and updates, which meant so much to me while I was out of town. It was clear from every message that Teddy was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention. She also made sure he got regular walks his favorite! and kept his routine consistent.Most importantly, Teddy absolutely loves her, and that says everything. Knowing he was in such caring and capable hands gave me total peace of mind.She truly went above and beyond, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again. Highly recommend!”

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.

“Gabriella took care of my cats while I was away. She took pictures of them daily and messaged me every time she dropped by. Even when I wasn't able to answer right away, she made sure I have my updates. She even took care of some things in the house for me. Overall, my cats loved her and she did an awesome job caring for them. I was reassured each visit and with that I had a peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely request her again if ever I need someone to look after my pets.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kawela Bay
About: As a former dog mom of three for over 10 years, I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my flexibility (I’m available every day of the week!), and my attention to detail. Also I have reliable transportation. I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am currently taking a break from work (I am a teacher). So I am available any day of the week. I love to go to the beach, run, go on hikes. So if you prefer I can take the dog with me. Me and my boyfriend live in the house on the North Shore. We don’t have a fence in our house. I am available to walk the dog 3 times a day. I love going for a walk and I have plenty of free time.
“Mary was very kind and took time to acquaint herself with my dog Presley, an 8 year old high(ish) maintenance Shih Tsu. She has two other dogs and a cat that are also very kind and patient with other animals too. The layout for pet sitting is wonderful, with a large covered deck and large yard to explore. Presley was very happy both before and after his visit and I have been very pleased with the entire process. I would recommend Mary highly and I will be using her on a regular basis.”
“Everything about Kelsey Ann is excellent! We booked easily, and she even took Cassi to the park. Cassi had a great play day in a loving home. Kelsey Ann is the best! Thank you!”
About: I've been loving and raising dogs with my family for over 45 years. I'm offering a safe and loving home with a secure fully fenced yard for your dog. I am experienced giving medications both oral and injections. I am CPR/first aid trained and certified for dogs.I can assist with basic puppy behavior training and I'm also very experienced with senior dogs and their special needs.I love dogs! I'm retired from my full time job and and am available to be at home to care for your dog 7 days a week. I am also available for overnight stays. I have a very safe fully fenced yard with lots shade and plenty of sunny grass for dogs to play. My home is puppy/dog safe with lots of places to exercise or rest comfortably.
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.
About: Hello Pet Parents! My name’s Samantha, currently I am a single mom to an 19 month old boy and also a dog-mama to my Shih tzu named Cheech! I have had dogs my entire life and have been doing Rover for many years now. I take pride in my work and take it seriously, if I was going to have someone watch Cheech I would want to know they are trustworthy, diligent, understanding, and patient. So that is how I am with the pets in my care. I'll do anything to make a pups tail wag!! 🐾💝 I currently am a stay at home mom of one. I have the ability yo keep your pups schedule on track while they are in my care. I only work one a day week away from home ( I come home in my lunch break) and do property management from home on the side. My sister watches my son on the one day that I do go to work, so if your pet stays with me I would always be around or my sister would be at my home to let your pet outside, walk them, and care for their needs. :) I do not normally host more than one families pet/s at once but if I was going to, I would let both owners know before doing so and only with dogs that I had watched before and know that there would not be any issues. I offer pet/house sitting, I need to be able to bring my son with me & if possible I like to bring my shih tzu Cheech with me to boarding jobs. (But I do understand sometimes that isn’t an option. I don’t want any dog or cat feeling like their home is being invaded.) I have a small yard at my home to take dogs out but there isnt much running space if your dog is high energy. Luckily I do have a bike path right near by we can walk to for walks! If I have multiple dogs staying with me I do have the ability to separate them if necessary during eating, sleeping, or when I do run errands.
About: I've taken care of dog for a year on and off! I follow with trainings if your pet has trainings. Also provide pictures thru the day and some time to chat with the fur babies if u'd like . I will follow every step amd direction you give me. And will treat your pet as my family ! I am pretty open on most days, we can definitely chat and see what availability I have. I am a stay at home mom and take my husband to work so I have the car if I need to do visits or if an emergency emerges . I keep all pets inside my house, they are family too! I do have a fenced yard to let them out play or do their necesites. I have 2 kids with me and no other pets besides yours! I will be walking them around the neighborhood for exercise every day 3 or 4 times a day .
“We are repeat visitors and Bishop has fallen in love with one of Christine’s dogs. He looks forward to coming over and looks back everyone he leaves. As new dog parents we are relieved to give Bishop a chance to socialize and not be home alone all the time during the work week.”
“Zoro had a Blast with Lily and her dog Kiko! He was in a great mood when I picked him up and seemed exhausted. Lily sent pictures and was very easy to communicate with. Mahalo!”

About: I'm very passionate about animals—I love being around them and taking care of their every need. I understand it can be hard when someone else is watching your pet, so I'll provide regular updates so you know how they're doing. I love staying active on walks. If your pet enjoys running, I'll join them; otherwise, we'll take a leisurely stroll. You let me know exactly what you need and how you want it done, and I will provide that service for you—I'll follow all your rules to the letter, as I have a dog myself and know how important those details are for peace of mind. I'm a very outgoing, responsible, clean, and helpful individual. I'll make sure your animal gets everything they deserve! Aloha! I'm Ciara, a passionate animal lover who recently moved from sunny Southern California to the beautiful shores of Hawaii with my beloved Great Dane, Chanel. We're loving island life and all the outdoor adventures it brings—whether it's regular walks (and the occasional jog) throughout the day, tending to the garden, hitting the hiking trails, or splashing in the ocean. With no current job commitments, I'm excited to make pet sitting my full-time gig. I've grown up around animals and understand how important it is to follow your rules exactly (as a dog parent myself, I get it!). As an outgoing, responsible, clean, and helpful person, I'll ensure your furry friend gets the love, care, and fun they deserve while you're away. Let's connect—I can't wait to meet your pet! I have a tall fenced yard, not big but a good size. I am open to welcoming in you pet as long as both dog's get along. The safety and well-being is most important.

“Leaving our dogs with someone new can be nerve-racking, but Pei completely exceeded our expectations and made us feel at ease right away. We did an overnight stay with him first to make sure our dogs were a good fit with him and his family, and we’re so glad we did—it couldn’t have gone better! After having some past trauma leaving our dogs in someone else’s care, it was such a relief to finally feel confident knowing our dogs were in experienced, capable hands. Booking with Pei was easy, his communication was excellent, and he kept us updated with pictures, which we loved. We were beyond happy with how well he handled both of our rescue dogs, especially our Doberman, who is the newest addition to our family. It was very clear that Pei is incredibly knowledgeable with dogs and truly understands their needs. The best part? He’s completely comfortable with larger dogs! It’s so hard to find sitters who welcome big dogs, and we are so thankful we found Pei. We would 100% book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring dog sitter.”

“The sweetest host and my baby had such a great time! I loved my picture updates and how happy my girl looked. Even when I picked her up, Karma seemed so happy but also worn out from all the playing so I know she was well taken care of. Another great sign is that Karma didn’t come back itchy!! She has skin and food allergies so that means Samantha was good about sticking to her diet and there was nothing around to irritate Karmas skin. Absolutely love!!! Thanks again!”
“Krysta and Peter are wonderful people and were so easy to work with! They took the best care of our dog Luna. We will always go back to them for any of our future dog sitting needs in the Kailua area😄 They were so thoughtful, kept us updated with great photos, and reassured us that we had nothing to worry about, given it being our first time using the app. Highly recommend!”

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!”
