Personalized care for your dog or cat - Wainiha

“Great experience for our doggies! From our first contact until picking them up Dani was professional and an expert dog wrangler. She took extra time and communicated all along the way. Highly recommend and made our trip even better knowing the fur babies were under her care!!!!”

Joey W.

“Courtney was so great with boarding our 1yo Border-Aussie Finn! He has separation anxiety and it was our first time leaving him in someone else's care so we were nervous, but Courtney took the time to meet with us to answer our questions and provide reassurance. When we picked him up after a few days he was excited to see us but then ran right back to Courtney! He was even freshly groomed! We will definitely contact Courtney for future sitting & boarding.”

Laura S.

“Christina (and her family) were incredible! If we're lucky enough to come back to Alaska, Kismet would be lucky enough to stay with them again. She was over the top with communication and pictures during Kismet's stay! Kismet looked so comfortable and happy in her pictures we were worried she wouldn't want to come back with us! Could not recommend Christina enough - very communicative and responsive, willing to meet us for pick up / drop off, and took Kismet on all sorts of walks and adventures to the lakes and parks. 100/10!”

Jason S.

“I am very grateful for Tamiko and her patience and assistance. My fiancé and I are getting married in September and are going to be away for 10 days. We wanted to find a sitter we felt comfortable with and we knew Milo would be comfortable with. For about 2-3 months now we have been doing small test runs to ensure he feels comfortable with her space. Wee just completed our first overnight stay and I am happy to announce it was successful. Could not be more grateful for all her help and her family’s help.”

Andrew S.

“Due to a last-minute family trip, I was looking for a pet sitter for my dog, Lottie. I messaged Diana, and she accepted my request immediately. I liked how she set up a meet and greet to get to know my dog and let Lottie feel comfortable in their place. I was nervous leaving Lottie for the first time, but Diana sent me pictures of Lottie every day during their walks, playing or hanging out inside the house with the other fur babies. Diana also updates me with other stuff regarding Lottie. It made me feel less anxious knowing that she took care of Lottie well when we were away.”

Fatima A.

“We had to leave our dog for 2 weeks and Jacy was awesome! She gave updates and my dog got to socialize with the other dogs at her house. She even washed him before we went to pick him up. Mahalo Jacy!”

Sarah L.

“It was my first time using Rover and leaving my dog alone overnight. However, Eric and his family made this process very easy for me. They were quick at responding and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them. My dog had a great time at Eric's place. There is a nice fenced yards for dogs to play around. I would definitively recommend them to anyone in the Homer area.”

Valerie W.

“Our Luna loves Sherry!! Does anything else matter at that point?? Sherry gave us photo updates and let us know how Luna was doing during the stay. We are looking forward to using Sherry again.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. We have a playful 1.5-year-old dog who loves small & medium dogs. Your pup or cat will feel safe, loved, and right at home with us—plenty of playtime, cuddles, and care included! My daughter is a veterinarian, which I love sharing as it is telling of the pet home she grew up in and our passion for cats and dogs as a family. We care for our animals as if there our children and your pet will become our bonus child. We have used Rover for our dog, and have had the best experience and in hoping that our dog can have a playmate from time to time, I created my own profile to help those looking for a safe & loving sitter, as we know it's difficult on Kauai sometimes. I am self-employed and work minutes away on Mondays-Thursdays and I am Home all day Friday -Sundays. When I do work in my office, I come home daily for lunch, so if I have your fur baby on those days, they will get playtime, love, and attention throughout the day. Our puppy, 1 1/2 is spayed and a loving sweet dog. She gets along with both cats and dogs and does not have an aggressive bone in her body. We have a fenced yard that my fur baby and yours can play in, and are located right by the bike path and can take our dogs on walks. We also have an extra crate if needed. Our dogs and cats are treated like family members in our home.

“Jack was really great to work with! Our timing on being off island was very chaotic but it didn’t phase Jack! Jack was very accommodating—we definitely recommend Jack! Thanks so much!!”

About: Hi fellow animal lovers! 🐾 I grew up surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes, which sparked a lifelong love and respect for animals. Caring for them has always felt second nature to me. I live an active, outdoor-loving lifestyle and enjoy bringing that energy into my work, whether that means long walks, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company and comfortable at home. I love traveling, being outside, and spending quality time with the people and animals I care about most. From dog walks to drop-in visits, I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and lots of love. Thank you so much for checking out my profile. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend! I work full time as a personal assistant, which allows me to stay very organized and reliable with scheduling. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine, and I make sure each visit gets my full attention, care, and consistency. I know how hard it can be when leaving a pet in a strangers hands. Your pet's safety is my ultimate goal and wether in your home or outside, I always try to create a safe, fun environment for your pet.

About: Apart from having my own 4 year old Shiba (Kuma), I’ve grown up around tons of dogs. My mom has a german shepherd and a black lab! I used to volunteer at the Humane Society when I was in high school and I even got to foster my own! With having Kuma, my roommate has two cats that i’m absolutely in love with! As a college student, i’m majoring in Biology and i love learning about animals. I can’t wait to meet your dog! Since i’m in college, I have a pretty set schedule as of right now. I’m available all day on the weekends (including friday) and monday and wednesday after 5pm. On tuesdays and thursdays, i’m off around 7pm. Hopefully this isn’t confusing but i’m available most of the days, and all of the days in the evening. I think it’s very important for a dog to get their sunlight and exercise in so i’m happy to take them to a park or walk around the block or even just play with them in the backyard/home! I’m pretty good with routines and pick up on things quickly. I’m good with cleaning up after your pet, whether it’s their poop/pee of just making a mess. Whatever you need me to do, i’m glad to do it!

About: Aloha! 🌺 I was truly born to love animals. I grew up in a very animal-loving ohana where we were always adopting, fostering, and rescuing all kinds of animals — puppies, kittens, birds, horses, goats, bunnies, squirrels, deer, and more! Over the years, I’ve volunteered with local shelters and rescues and have experience working with a variety of breeds, personalities, and behaviors. I’ve also worked as a veterinary assistant and groomer, so I’m comfortable administering medications, providing light grooming, and caring for senior or special-needs pets. I’ve been living on Kaua‘i for over 15 years and recently spent the last two years helping manage and caretake a large property while caring for multiple animals including dogs, cats, chickens, and goats. If I’m staying in your home, I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail/packages, and help keep everything tidy and cared for while you’re away so you can return home stress-free. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your beloved pets, and I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and care I would want for my own. After recently losing my sweet Sunny & Luna who crossed the Rainbow Bridge, caring for animals has become especially meaningful and healing for me. 🐾🤍 I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I work part time from home and have a flexible schedule, I will be with your pet most if not all of the day/night so they will have my full attention. I am available most days and holidays with advance notice and will usually always be able to accommodate. I have both Whats App & Telegram if youre traveling out of country and love taking pictures so expect to stay updated with photos & videos of your pet playing, being silly or just relaxing! I care for pets as if they were my own, they will be loved & nurtured and I will meet the needs of each pet individually. They will have potty breaks as often as needed. I can also work with them if theres any commands to learn or training needed, Im happy to bring them along to the beach, on walks or running errands, also unlimited conversations & cuddles :) Also if you have a need but the price doesn't work for you just contact me and I'm usually always able to adjust and accommodate :)

About: I grew up with pets and would occasionally dog sit when my neighbors go away for vacation. Can handle small to large dogs. Used to have a poodle and police dog German shepherd growing up. Can walk dogs after work during the weekdays and available mostly all weekend. More flexible hours on weekends and anytime after 5pm during the work week. There’s a waterfront park 5 mins away from my apartment and can walk dogs around there. I have 2 cats but they’re very shy and usually hides around dogs.

About: I can be available for walks whenever needed, I understand weird work schedules and I can work around your schedule. I'll be home full-time while I'm watching your dog. As long as you are ok with it too on nice days I'd love to take the dogs out hiking or to the local park. On colder days we can stay in and play fetch or squeaky toy :) I live in a dog friendly apartment. I don't have a yard but I can take dogs out as often as needed or wanted .

“Lina was great!! My cat was very well taken care of. For being gone over two weeks, Lina provided peace of mind knowing that my outdoor cat was getting consistently fed, given water, and lots of love ❤️ He was super chill and happy when I got home. Thanks, Lina! I will rebook you in a heartbeat ?”

“Madison and Fuji got along from the start. She made sure she knew his routine, medicine, schedule, and activities. I received lots of photos after and clear communication before and after.”

Christofer G.

“Christina has been so amazing for me and my dog Copper. She is amazing at communicating, was patient when my dog was nervous and took a little extra time warming up! She took great photos and made sure he went potty, played with him, and even took him for a walk! Thank you so much!”

Nicole G.

“We are deeply grateful for Diana’s help with our special needs kitty. When we book with her we know that our boys are going to be well taken care of and pampered - she always gives us peace of mind. Mahalo again Diana!”

Megan T.

“Dani is the best! Made Marty feel right at home. He had an amazing time and I can’t wait to have Dani watch him again.”

Zoe B.

“So glad our Rocky was able to spend the day at daycare with Megan! She put our mind at ease with clear communication and photo updates of our fur baby. Thanks for making a long shift so much easier knowing Rocky was well cared for and getting plenty of cuddles! Definitely recommend, I know Rocky can’t wait to see Megan again!”

Kelly D.

About: I have helped raise a puppy, I stay active and love to take doggie friends on walks! I have always loved cats and cats have always loved me. I will be sure to give them lots of pets and even a free yoga class. I am currently part time and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule at the moment. I am happy to arrange a schedule that works for us all . I will clean up after your furry ones and allow for the animals to be in their proper/preferred environment and respectfully follow any requests you may have.

“This was our very first time sending our dog, Bluey, to a doggy daycare, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we booked with Jacy, she was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel completely at ease. Bluey had such a great time — we could tell she was happy and comfortable throughout her stay. Jacy frequently sent us pictures and updates, which we really appreciated, especially since it was Bluey’s first daycare experience. It was clear that Jacy took the time to get to know Bluey and understand her personality. We definitely recommend Jacy to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and fun place for their pup. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely be booking again! 🐶🩷”

About: Dogs have been in my family my whole life and I was a dog mom for at least 20 years. I know firsthand how our furry BFF’s are FAMILY and how important it is to have trustworthy and reliable care for them when we have to be away. I travel a lot, and by far, pet care was always the #1 stressor in planning and being away. My sweet guy was old, quirky, anxious, and towards the end he had a lot of special care needs. I always worried if he was getting all his needs met or if maybe he was too much for others to deal with compassionately until we found our sitter! He was a genuinely great guy who loved our sweet boy so much, so I knew I was lucky to find someone I trusted and my guy was in good hands. So now, as a sitter myself, I can promise you that I will care for your sweet boy or girl as if they were my own family because that’s what I loved in my own sitter! My place is only about 10 minutes away from the airport, so it’s very convenient for quick drop-off and pick-up on your way if you’re traveling. I work FT from home M-F so there’s time for a walk before and/or after work, and then I am available for frequent potty breaks throughout the day as needed I have a well fenced in yard and we are two doors down from a park. The park is tucked away in our community so there’s not much traffic and it’s very safe. We don’t usually see other dogs there, but plenty of chickens. I’m sorry, but my yard does not have a sheltered space so I can’t host outdoor pets. I can only host pets who are full-time indoor pets and fully house trained (no diapers or belly bands). I do have most basic pet supplies (bowls, leashes, crate for den style napping and an elevated bed, etc.)

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life—starting with my mom's pug when I was born, to my first pet turtles, now in their 30s! Over the years, I've cared for a variety of pets, including birds, hamsters, fish, and even a hedgehog in college. My Labrador lived a long, happy 17 years, and I currently have a miniature schnauzer I trained myself. I also have experience with senior pet care, making me a trusted go-to for friends and colleagues who often rely on me to watch their pets when needed. Caring for animals isn't just a responsibility; it's my passion! Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I’ve always structured my days to prioritize their needs, from early morning walks and feeding schedules to playtime and grooming. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s ensuring a senior pet gets their medications on time, engaging an energetic puppy with fun activities, or simply offering companionship, I integrate pet care seamlessly into my life. It's second nature to me, and I truly enjoy the joy and connection it brings. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I provide a secure, fenced yard where your pup can safely explore, play, or simply relax in the sun. I have two friendly, well-trained dogs who can offer great companionship for social pups, or I can ensure a peaceful, quiet space for pets who prefer a calmer environment. I keep a close eye on all interactions and tailor the experience to your pet’s personality and needs. In a client’s home, I follow their specific care instructions closely, maintaining their pet’s routine for consistency and comfort. From feeding and walking to playtime and cuddles, I strive to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved in my care.

About: As a dog mom myself, my biggest issue was finding affordable & reliable care for my fur babies while im away from home… So it’s been my goal since October 2023 was to provide that service for other dog pawrents here on Kaua’i. I was previously raising Retrievers before I started pet sitting. But now dog sit full time, 7 days a week. I’m available about 300 days of the year. However I do book up very fast during Spring, Summer, Fall, & Winter break. So please reach out in advance. I will try my best to accommodate anyone. I’m located 8 minutes from the airport in a quiet, and safe neighborhood. I have a 6’ high vinyl fence surrounding my yard, & gates that are locked at all times. I’m able to take any pups AFTER 8AM, So please book the day prior if you’re needed services earlier than that. Each day I’m busy with atleast 1 to 5 dogs per day. Which vary between daycare pups & overnight boarding pups. Most of the dogs who come here are all weekly daycare dogs, repeat boarding dogs, or are monthly visitors. I care for my daycare and boarding pups in a pack environment. Where everyone interacts with each other based on activity levels or size. But if I feel your pup isn’t good with certain pups, that is fine as well and he/she will be able to stay separated. They’re able to roam free all day, except when I have to leave the house for an errand or go to bed. That’s when each dog needs to be in a secured place.. either crated on the patio or inside the house in the kitchen. Our daily schedule starts at 6:30am. The dogs are let out of their crates/the kitchen to go potty in the fenced yard. Then I’ll normally let them roam around for an hour or two till I prep their breakfast (just for the ones who eat twice). Then the dogs go back into their crates to rest their stomachs for 1 hour. During the day the dogs can interact and play with each other, rest on the patio, under the gazebo, or sunbathe in the yard. The dogs have free roam of the yard all day, except if I have to run an errand or when I go to bed around 11pm. That’s when they will be put into their individual crates/pens. I’m all about safety, & cleanliness. The gates are always locked for your pups safety, the yard is sanitized atleast 2x a day, and I always have an eye on the pups.

“I cannot say enough great things about Diana and how grateful I am to her for taking care of Pennie. We loved her especially Pennie! She was always punctual and very thorough. She followed all of our instructions for Pennie, and she was super sweet and reassuring to my girl 🥰 the best thing was she was so flexible and was able to book on last minute when our original plans fell through. You can tell she loves what she does! I am absolutely going to rebook her in the future 10/10 would totally recommend! Thanks Diana you truly gave us peace of mind with pictures and videos too!”
