“Keeping Rosie with Greg was a great experience! Yard and house had plenty of room for the dogs to sniff, play and hang out. I don't think she wanted to come home!”
“Tracey and her family are a true team effort. I appreciate the good, clear communication and the expectations. I can leave my Rosie with them with confidence that she will be safe. I got a ton of pictures and a number of coorespondence thru the portal for peace of mind. I appreciate what they do and how they do it. Having multiple eyeballs on my dog is a huge relief and peace of mind. Thank you Tracey and Family!”
“We were a bit hesitant of leaving our dog, Mele, after having several bad experiences with other dog sitters. Mele usually comes back sick or acting like a different dog. Kyrie took great care of Mele. She was very responsive to texts and gave us daily photos/videos. Mele came back exactly like we left her, happy and healthy. Thanks Kyrie!”
“Poko, our 5 month old puppy, loved his stay with Jacque. He spent time with Jacque and her other dogs. We appreciate the daily pics and videos Jacque sent us. Would definitely recommend her service.”
“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!”
“Jay was fantastic - he set up a meeting beforehand to make sure his and our dogs would get along and to talk through the arrangements. During the stay, he looked after our dog well, walked him daily, played frisbee with him, and sent us photos and videos. Highly recommend!”
“Emma is an excellent doggie sitter! She's caring - to the dog owners and doggies, great at sharing how the doggies are doing - pictures and videos, and very patient. Definitely will be our regular sitter and highly recommend.”
“My lab had so much fun at her house and came home happy and tired after the weekend. Samantha kept me updated with photos and even took the extra care to reach out to me about my dog's allergies. Drop off/pick up was easy as well. I would 100% recommend her!”
“Jess took absolutely amazing care of our golden! She was extremely flexible, communicative, and sent so many updates including photos and videos throughout our trip. It is clear that she really cares for each animal like her own, prioritizes their comfort and safety, and I can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Catalina is a great communicator and care taker. My pet had a good time at her home and was happy when I picked him up. I would gladly utilize her Rover services again!”
“Haily and Benjamin were amazing sitters! I felt completely at ease while we were away. Everything was very smooth and easy from meet and greet to booking. Pick up and drop off was also great with no issues! She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We came home to a relaxed and happy pup! I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Arlo had a great time with Angela and her boys. He came home a happy boy! It was my first time using rover, and I had a great experience and will definitely use Angela again!”
“Daylin did an amazing job taking care of my dog. I received regular updates, including videos and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. From the pictures, I could tell my dog was calm and happy, so I know Daylin took excellent care of him. Communication was also very efficient throughout the entire stay. Thank you so much! I highly recommend Daylin without hesitation.”
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.
“McKenley and her husband were so great with Athena ! They took her in like she was their own. They were very open to letting me come visit and had great communication throughout the time of her being there. Athena had a great time with their little pug, going on walks and hikes. I would definitely recommend this little family and will use them again in the future if need be !”
“Lauren & her family were great with our new rescue Casper. This was our first time using rover and we were scared he was going to think we abandoned him. But Lauren & her family made him feel right at home providing enough cuddles and love to make him feel safe. Pictures and updates were provided daily and I’m sure we will be using Lauren again for our other dogs.”
“I just have to give a HUGE shoutout to Charlene for being the absolute best dog sitter for my sweet Miss Ellie! From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing Ellie would be in great hands — and Charlene went above and beyond my expectations. She made sure Ellie ate well, was cared for with love and attention, and stayed happy and comfortable the entire time. I was so impressed by her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Charlene made it such a smooth and worry-free experience. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy, loving sitter, and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Just excellent! Snickers had a great time with her and that's highly unusual for the tiny beast! Thanks so much to Rover for sending her to us. We very much look forward to using her services again.”
“Victoria was amazing! She took such great care of my cat during the holidays. She was very communicative and made sure my cat received plenty of love and was well taken care of.”
“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.”
“Marie is AMAZING!! She is so loving and thorough with taking care of my furrbabies, I always have peace of mind when I am away because I know they will be loved and well taken care of 😸”
“Rebecca was amazing! First time using the services and we are very pleased. Very communicative and kept us up to date on our kitty’s days. So glad our kitty had her company while we were away. Definitely recommend her services.”
About: Hi, I'm a remote worker who loves to travel and meet new people and pets. Recently, I have been spending more time in Hawaii, so I'm starting my Rover back up while I'm on island. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I've taken a training in dog body language from the humane society and am very detail oriented when it comes to following instructions for your pet's needs. I work remotely, which means more time at home caring for your dogs or cats. Feel free to reach out with any questions :) I'm happy to video call or meet in person with any potential clients to see if we'd be a good fit. I work from home on a flexible schedule, which means more time to give attention, pets, and walks to your furry loved ones. I'm happy to stick to your pet's preferred routine. Your pet will be my priority while I'm at your place. I'm also happy to tackle other responsibilities during a pet sit - picking up mail, taking out trash, etc., so that everything gets taken care of while you're away. Cleanliness will be a priority, and I always pick up after myself to leave a space exactly as I found it.
“Ky really treated my cat hallow with such kindness and I could tell my kitty loved her just through the pictures. She kept the house clean and respected our boundaries that we set. I’m happy we found a permanent house/cat sitter for our home!! Thanks ky❤️”
“Laura did an excellent job taking care of my cats while I was out of town for the weekend. Great communication during the entire weekend too. Highly recommend her service if you are in need of a pet sitter. Thanks so much Laura!!”
“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!!”
“Brooke's communication during our trip was excellent. We got daily messages about how the dogs were doing and pictures, when the dogs cooperated. I could tell our girls were well cared for during our absence.”
“Kristi took such great care of our cat Ting Ting. She was very thorough and sent us daily updates which we appreciated. She took the time to bond with Ting Ting and gave her all the love and care while we were away, it eased our worries to know she had such a great caretaker. We will definitely work with Kristi again!”
“Veronica was great! Our three kitties were well taken care of. Everything was done as we had asked and then some. We’ve been putting off going away where we would be gone for more than a day for a long time now. Because we didn’t think we could trust anyone with our kitties. But now at least we trust one person, Veronica. So thanks Veronica!”
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.

“Mei Mei has regular weekly daycare with Greg, she’s always super excited and ready to go roaming into the yard with Zephyr, and always leaves pooped out and content. Great for socialization, off leash play, and free roam of a large yard. Communication is always very consistent and responsive.”
“Rose is the perfect dogsitter! My husband and I both work and need someone to watch our Shiba mix or take her on two walks, and Rose was so flexible and easy to work with. Best of all she was so careful introducing our pup to other dogs walking with her, all my anxiety was for nothing :) 10/10 will be booking with Rose again!”

About: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals, including more than 5 years as a kennel assistant and 5 years as a veterinary assistant. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve developed strong skills in administering medications, including insulin and asthma treatments. My time in a veterinary hospital has also given me valuable experience working with animals of all temperaments, allowing me to stay calm, patient, and attentive in any situation. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your pet gets my complete time, attention, and care. I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved, and that their time with me is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I have 5 years of veterinary medical experience and feel confident providing a wide range of care for pets of all needs—from those requiring more involved medical support to those who simply need extra love and cuddles. I take cleanliness and safety seriously, thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing between each client to ensure a healthy, comfortable environment for your furry friend.
“This was my very first time using Rover. Tracey and her mom was very professional. Tracey answered my messages right away, they sent pictures throughout the day, I got a summery of the day and TK seemed happy to be there. I would definitely leave my baby with Tracey and her mom again! They understand that our furry babies are so precious to us!”
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.
“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.”
“Lauren was super nice and very easy to communicate with. Their house is very dog friendly and they have a great yard and baby gates to ensure the pups stay under supervision. My dog Dolly made herself right at home with their kids and dog and had a great time at daycare. I didn't worry about her at all, and we would love to book with them 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 main goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels happy and safe. I treat them like part of the family and do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home. I do Rover full-time, so your dog(s) will always have company. I keep it to just two dogs at a time so they get plenty of attention. I do not own any pets, so there will be no need for your pup(s) to get acquainted with other pets during their stay with me.
“After my last river sister moved away, I was a apprehensive about someone else watching Thumper. Hailey and Benjamin made everything easy from the first meet and great, slowly introducing their dogs one at a time and then letting them all roam around their yard, to the first drop off. Thumper was a bit nervous when he was dropped off, but slowly calmed down and enjoyed himself there. Everything made me calm down as well. I got a check-in update and lots of pictures. I am excited for his next visit and glad I found someone that both Thumper and I are both comfortable with!!!!”
“April was such an amazing sitter! She walked my pup, Buko, every time and Buko would come home absolutely tired from playing all day. I really appreciate the photos that April would upload throughout the day. I would definitely book with April again! Thank you so much!!! :)”
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. Same goes for finicky or difficult medical application. I have no kids on property.
About: I know that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re family. That’s why I provide loving, reliable, and stress-free dog-sitting services tailored to your pup’s needs. Whether you’re away for a few hours or an extended trip, you can count on me to offer attentive care, regular exercise, and plenty of belly rubs. With a passion for animals and years of experience, I ensure your furry friend stays happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Book with me today and give your dog the care they deserve! I’m currently a SAHM so my schedule is typically open. I do however only watch one dog at a time to provide them with a comfortable stay. They must have a bed or kennel provided with their stay. I will follow special instructions, if needed. I feed them, take them on walks, play with them, pet and cuddle them. Maybe, take them on a car ride if they like that.
About: I've always loved dogs, especially small ones since that is what I've had my whole life. My family's Yorkie is only 5lbs so I know how to be very careful and protective over them. I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I am currently working from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible! If your house is close by, I could go a couple times a day to let the pet out or even bring to my house if you wanted so they would not be alone all day! We are very pet friendly so your pet would not need to be in a crate unless you wanted them to be! We also have a fenced in yard!
“Wonderful sitter. Was so enthusiastic and caring for our dog. Went beyond to provide care and have fun with our dog and kept us in loop along the way. Truly appreciate and will use again.”
“10 out of 10 highly recommend! We love Nicole! She's a great communicator and kept me updated. My dog thinks he is a is a human baby and Nicole did such a great job taking care of him and nurturing all his neediness. He got to spend lots of time outside and play with other dogs in a safe loving environment, and we love it!”
“I highly recommend Catalina if you need someone to take care of your pet. She is dedicated, compassionate, and understanding towards animals. If you want someone who will treat your pet with love, then Catalina on Rover.com is the right person for you. I recently booked Catalina for doggy day care on Rover.com when I was in town. Even though I arranged it at the last minute, Catalina was a lifesaver for my 12-year-old Miniature American Eskimo, Nimbus, who has slight separation anxiety. Catalina was very friendly and welcoming from the beginning, which helped me and Nimbus feel at ease. Even though I forgot to bring Nimbus's toys, Catalina took care of her well during the seven hours she was with her. Catalina went above and beyond to make sure Nimbus was comfortable. Nimbus was given specific treats that I provided, brushed, and walked. It was clear that Catalina cared for Nimbus and was aware of her anxiety. Catalina was also mindful of Nimbus's behavior. Nimbus is not good with other dogs and has a tendency to chase cats. Catalina kept Nimbus in a safe and comfortable environment and made sure she was away from anything that could distress her. This shows how much Catalina tailors her care to each pet's specific needs. Catalina's ability to adapt to Nimbus's specific needs proves why I highly recommend her services on Rover.com.”
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.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. When your dog is in my care, I treat them with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, likes, dislikes, and comfort level so they can feel safe and happy while you’re away. Whether that means going on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, having plenty of playtime, or simply giving them extra cuddles and company, I’m happy to adjust to what your pup needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and will keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is being well cared for. 🐾❤️ As a college student taking all of my classes online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to balance my studies with providing loving and attentive pet care! I also work part-time in the mornings, so I’m primarily available in the afternoons and have greater flexibility on Fridays. My online coursework allows me to manage my time efficiently and accommodate different pet care needs. Whether your furry friend needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I’ll do my best to work with your schedule. I’m dedicated to providing dependable, personalized care and making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! 🐾🩷 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand that I’m being trusted with both a beloved family member and someone’s personal space, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other special needs. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. I’ll also respect your home and leave everything clean and secure. Most importantly, I’ll give your pet plenty of patience, affection, and attention while keeping you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“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: 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
About: I have taken care of pets for over 10 years now, both my own and for family or friends!

“Laura helped with our dogs when we were on vacation. We scheduled a time for her to meet them when we arrived, so they were familiar with her. She was awesome and took good care of our babies! It's obvious, she loves pups.”
About: From the first day I was born, I was surrounded by cocker spaniel puppies of my mother's. I was raised to care of different types of animals from dogs, cats, fish, turtle, bunnies, and mice! I have a great fondness and love for animals, especially dogs. We lost our 9 year old Maltese last August and would like to take care and provide some love for other dogs. I've house-sit/dog-sit my neighbor's black lab since 2008, and occasionally dog sit my friend's Australian Shepherd-Corgi mix puppy. I've also house-sit/dog-sit my coworkers black German Shepard several nights last year. I'm sometimes described as a dog whisperer, as dogs have had a natural fondness and friendliness with me. I have a night job as assistant manager/server in DT Bellevue, but morning and afternoon are wide open to take care of your furry companion.
“Rebecca is awesome! She is our regular walker, walking our dog twice a week. She goes above and beyond from what we expect. Rebecca always keeps us in the know when it comes to our girl. We completely trust Rebecca and know that our dog is safe, happy, and prioritized on her walks. Although we are currently taking obedience training lessons with our own personal trainer, our putty mix can still be dog reactive to certain dogs. We appreciate the extra effort Rebecca puts into Pili’s walks by also working on her training. We love her and highly recommend using her services!”

I’ve always had a strong love for animals, especially dogs, and I understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and cared for when their owners are away.

“Third time booking with Joshua and cannot recommend him enough! He takes such good care of my pets. Super communicative and respectful. And not to say I can promise this for every client, but he does more than just walk my dog, he hangs out and plays with him (and my cat) too, which is always above and beyond expectations. Great to work with and would rebook him anytime. Default and primary choice 💯. Highly recommend!”
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. When caring for your pet, safety, trust, and keeping their routine intact are my highest priorities. 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.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. Both of my parents worked full time, so I’ve had experience taking care of my own dogs since I was a child. I’ve dog/house sat many family members’ and friends’ dogs over the last 10 years. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have experience caring for and walking dogs. I love all animals, especially dogs, and would take great care of your pet! I currently work full time fully remote. My schedule is pretty open after 2:00 pm each week day and I typically take my own dog on a long walk or to the park each day after work. I follow whatever rules are set and given to me by prospective owners. I love animals and especially dogs and shower them in love and affection. I always make sure to feed dogs according to their schedule and per instructions given to me.
About: I have lots of experience taking care of all animals and would love to help you out! Since I was little, I have been around all kinds of annimals and have learned a lot about how to properly care for them. I can meet you wherever you are on island! I have a very open schedule and can fit your needs, I have availability all days of the week to come and help out. Please let me know when I am needed! I am very careful and cautious when it comes to mine and others pets. I will treat your pets as my own and give them the best care possible.
About: Hi, I’m Lani! I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have been caring for them since I was a little girl. To me, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I treat every pup I care for with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m a proud dog mom to my fun-loving, friendly girl, Dreamy! She’s house-trained, sweet, and loves making new furry friends. 🐾 I’m especially excited to offer house sitting, where I can stay in your home and give your pets plenty of companionship, cuddles, playtime, walks, and attention while you’re away. I know how much peace of mind it can bring to know your pets are happy and comfortable in their own home—and I’m happy to help keep things running smoothly while you’re gone. I’m also available for dog walking and drop-in visits if your pup just needs some exercise, potty breaks, playtime, or a little extra love during the day. Whether your dog is energetic and ready for an adventure, a professional cuddler, or somewhere in between, I’d love to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐕💛 I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🏡 Work-From-Home & Flexible Schedule I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be around throughout the day. This is especially great for pets who enjoy having someone nearby for companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m available for overnight house sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits, and I can work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I love being able to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your pets can feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. 🐾💛 I have a fenced and large back yard so there's plenty of room for your pup to run and play. I am also able to crate train if needed.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets taught me that every animal has a unique personality, needs patience, and deserves kindness and respect. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs who require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. Friends and family have also entrusted me to care for their pets while they're away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I volunteered at a farm animal sanctuary on Oʻahu, where I helped care for a variety of rescued animals. I’ve also help to fabricate and fit animals with prosthetic legs and braces from my work experience as a Clinical Prosthetist/Orthotist at UCLA Medical Center and Shriners Children’s Hospital in Honolulu. That experience reinforced my passion for animal welfare and deepened my appreciation for the trust and connection we share with animals. Whether we're going for a walk, playing fetch, relaxing at home, or simply keeping each other company, my goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I believe the best care comes from treating every pet like family. Currently working full time but am able to provide care and help on my off days. I work mostly early morning to mid day or mid day to evening. I’m happy to coordinate with your needs. I would gladly provide photos and video updates on your pet so that you can feel at ease about the care they are receiving. I am good with communicating and am happy to be accessible via text, phone call, or FaceTime while providing care for your pet.
About: I've been around dogs many years. Resume includes work at dog boarding learn to feed, clean, and handle pets.

Seeking income and I currently stay at home. I am willing to have clients. Dogs are on property in a fenced yard with a few areas. We have morning and evening walks and play and training time throughout the day.
“Kayla was such a great and reliable dog walker for my dog Chief!! She stepped in when another walker didn’t show up. She was very good at communicating, and she always made sure my dog didn’t miss any of his meals. She also sent updates and pictures which were very much appreciated. I will definitely hire her again and encourage others to do so as well.”

“Keeping Rosie with Greg was a great experience! Yard and house had plenty of room for the dogs to sniff, play and hang out. I don't think she wanted to come home!”
“Jay was fantastic - he set up a meeting beforehand to make sure his and our dogs would get along and to talk through the arrangements. During the stay, he looked after our dog well, walked him daily, played frisbee with him, and sent us photos and videos. Highly recommend!”
“My lab had so much fun at her house and came home happy and tired after the weekend. Samantha kept me updated with photos and even took the extra care to reach out to me about my dog's allergies. Drop off/pick up was easy as well. I would 100% recommend her!”
“Jess took absolutely amazing care of our golden! She was extremely flexible, communicative, and sent so many updates including photos and videos throughout our trip. It is clear that she really cares for each animal like her own, prioritizes their comfort and safety, and I can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Arlo had a great time with Angela and her boys. He came home a happy boy! It was my first time using rover, and I had a great experience and will definitely use Angela again!”
“Daylin did an amazing job taking care of my dog. I received regular updates, including videos and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. From the pictures, I could tell my dog was calm and happy, so I know Daylin took excellent care of him. Communication was also very efficient throughout the entire stay. Thank you so much! I highly recommend Daylin without hesitation.”
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.
“Lauren & her family were great with our new rescue Casper. This was our first time using rover and we were scared he was going to think we abandoned him. But Lauren & her family made him feel right at home providing enough cuddles and love to make him feel safe. Pictures and updates were provided daily and I’m sure we will be using Lauren again for our other dogs.”
“I just have to give a HUGE shoutout to Charlene for being the absolute best dog sitter for my sweet Miss Ellie! From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing Ellie would be in great hands — and Charlene went above and beyond my expectations. She made sure Ellie ate well, was cared for with love and attention, and stayed happy and comfortable the entire time. I was so impressed by her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Charlene made it such a smooth and worry-free experience. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy, loving sitter, and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Pyro loved KaVina so much we decided to request her to watch him during our extended vacation. KaVina did an amazing job with him again. She provided us with daily updates and let us know of any issues that arose. She was even accommodating when I messed up our arrival time and we ended up getting home 7 hours later than i initially told her. She’s been a great friend to Pyro, I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Yvette was truly great! The pups had a wonderful time with her and she gave daily updates. She was very accommodating to my last minute changing schedule. Was so happy to have been able to book her and love on the pups!”
“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! 🐾”
“Couldn’t be happier with the care Christine provided for our dogs! She was very detailed, responsive, and sent daily updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and loved. Would recommend Christine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive.”
“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!”
“I’ve used Andrea for boarding several times and Alika just hops in her car and goes without even a goodbye. It’s tremendously helpful that she is able to pick up and drop off Alika due to my health issues and it makes it easier on me.”
“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.”
“Pei has a way with dogs. My dog, Friday, took a liking to him right away. Friday spent two weeks with Pei and got plenty of attention and exercise. When we picked him up he was happy and healthy as ever. No hesitations about leaving Friday with Pei again in the future.”
“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!”
