“Thank you for taking care of my baby even though it was a short time request! Daisy and her boyfriend were very responsible and had smooth communications. I highly recommend them and definitely I will book them again.”


“Debbi no ka oi. (Debbi is the best) we relied upon Debbi’s care for our IG during a busy week plus in Honolulu. She was flexible and able to suit our needs perfectly. Our dog was happy, healthy and I was always assured of Debbi’s excellent care of our pet. I highly recommend her.”

About: My life is best when it's full of furry friends! I've grown up with a dog, and even when I came to college I quickly found families with dogs to hang out with being away from home! I've been trusted to dog sit,walk and take care of a variety of dogs of different sizes/needs throughout college, and I would love to do it more. I also have experience giving dogs medication/helping them swallow pills. Possibly like your dog, I love long walks, being outside and end-of-day cuddles! I am a current Doctor of Physical Therapy student at Hawaii Pacific University. I moved in August from Raleigh, North Carolina. I only go for in person lab about every 2 months which I am marking off my calendar, and on zoom working hard the rest of the time! That being said, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to stay with/check in on your pet frequently. Long walks with the company of a furry friend would really be an awesome way to take a break! I have always been an early riser and am prepared to get up early to attend to responsibilities with a dog! I usually get up at 6 or before no matter what the day entails, so I will not keep your dog waiting for breakfast, a walk and a potty break! Also I would like to include that my photo send percentage is low on Rover, because people usually prefer me texting them updates instead of sending them through the app- I can do whichever! I am very active and frequently go on long walks and can go out on adventures if your furry friend would like to join me! I would love to follow your routine schedule with the dog as well, and my schedule gives me the flexibility to do so!

About: I have a happy girlie herd of 5 guineapigs. I spend a lot of time caring for not only their nutrition and health but their enrichment, too! How does this apply to your dog, cat or misc cutie pie? I'm a diligent pet owner and pick up on pet behavior and cues quickly. In my home, their safety is my priority and no sweetheart with "please pet me!!" Eyes will be ignored. I'm much more patient with animals than I could ever want to be with people. Dog is a leash puller? Okay, long walks then and playtime to drain their hyper meter. I have had dogs in my home most of my life, cats and now just guineapigs. They have their own room and are safe for me to host your pet. I work from home doing the exciting (To me) work of accounting! I have a comfy couch and two hands to administer belly rubs, a quiet apartment with lots of natural light and valley breeze. I would take your dog out for a walk early morning, afternoon and before bed. If your dog loves to play with toys to tire themselves out, bring them because I will play with them until they are napping on my couch. As for leaving the home, I will try not to leave your pet for very long, only to get groceries or grab something from the store. If your dog has severe separation anxiety please let know. There may be ways to reduce their anxiety for short stays. I have guineapigs and by default I know how to pet proof an area because they chew on anything they can. For dogs and cats I just mimic this and anticipate what they might get into if I don't secure the area. My guineapigs have their own room and cage that for dogs bred originally for their prey drive will never interact with as I can shut their door. Your pets will never get food from me you haven't authorized to include accidentally dropping food. Im immune to begging puppy eyes for table scraps. On walks, I will pick less busy times and avoid other dogs. I wouldn't want an unfriendly neighbor dog to interact with your sweetie. Emergencies. I will call you, then your vet l, ER vet or feather and fur in Kailua a 24hr Vet ER. It's a 30 ish minute drive from my home I have made in the past for my own guineapigs health. Your pet is in safe hands.

“Deanne is always great, Mei Mei is always happy and excited to see her. She sends lots of pictures and updates throughout the day and is always responsive. Very detailed with care.”


“I always worry about my baby, but just sitting and talking for a bit I felt more comfortable and could see Rylie was too. I picked her up and she immediately fell asleep. Always a good sign.”


About: I have taken care of pets for friends and family and friends of friends. Just like when I teach in schools, I provide a safe and welcoming space. I have experience walking, hiking, feeding, giving baths, giving medicine, and teaching new tricks to dogs. I have cared for cats as well. In my adult years I've had three dogs of my own and two cats. I have used Rover before for my dog, and now would love to provide great service for other peoples' dogs and cats, like how Rover sitters did for my dog. I value communication and look forward to sending my clients photos frequently of all the fun their pet is having when being taken care of by me. I have a baby, so I am home a lot. My schedule is very flexible. I can provide lots of love, playtime, and walks for your pet. If your pet stays with me, your pet will receive frequent walks as exercise is important to me for the pet's health and my own. Lots of love, treats, and cuddles to give here!

“Charisse was so kind and loving with my young golden retriever, taking excellent care of him during his first visit with her when he was feeling a bit anxious that I left him. She also gave me some wonderful, professional tips about how to care for his long fur and possibly training him to be a service dog. I needed the time to get some errands done, being a single mum and caregiver to a child with a chronic illness. Thank you so much for your amazing help, Charisse! :)”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 12 years now! I specialize with dogs who have disabilities, special needs, and those who just want cuddles! As someone who has three Bernese Mountain dogs back in Ohio, I understand that stimulation and walks are a must! I love all breeds, all sizes, and all ages! I’m a part time student and full time dog lover~ will send daily photos and status reports during duration of care. I am a part-time masters student have morning, afternoon, and weekend availability :) I only have two in-person night classes a week where I usually feed and walk the dog and get them settled in for the night before heading out. I live in hale mahana on king street (a student apartment) with air conditioning, a full kitchen, key access, and 24/7 on site security. Your dog will sleep on the bed unless they prefer the floor, be taken downstairs to the neighborhood to use the restroom and walk, and will get lots of pets from neighboring residents! *** please note that I do not have a car and so drop off/pickup may be necessary for your pet :)

“Family is awesome, they were able to take in our dog on short notice. Our girl Tilly came home tired, she was able to get all her energy out. We appreciate you guys!”


About: I grew up with a lovable pug, which sparked my lifelong love for animals and taught me how to care for dogs with big personalities in small bodies. I’m experienced with all kinds of pups—from energetic puppies to mellow seniors—and I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I’m attentive, calm, and reliable, and I’ll treat your pet like family. Whether it’s administering medication, going for walks, or just providing cuddles, I’m here to make your pet feel safe and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I prioritize walks, playtime, and check-ins around my flexible schedule. Whether it’s early mornings or evenings, I make time to ensure each pet receives consistent attention and love. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care never feels like a chore—it’s a highlight of my day. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I’d give my own. In your home, I maintain your routines and follow all instructions carefully to ensure your pet feels safe and secure. I always double-check that doors are locked, leashes are secure, and pets are never left unattended in unsafe areas. I also send regular updates, so you always know your pet is in good hands.

About: I have always grown up with a dog by my side. Family, friends & neighbors trust me to care & treat their furry friends as my own. I work part time, primarily from home, with a flexible schedule. Your dog will always have a companion and care taker anytime they are with me. I have a spacious house with a backyard for your pup to enjoy. As a dog sitter I understand the importance of privacy & respect my clients homes. I live next to numerous parks ( including dog parks) and enjoy long scenic walks with my 4 legged friends. From highly active to laid back home bodies, I can cater to whatever lifestyle your pet is use to.

About: With 7+ years as a pet owner, foster, and sitter, I’ve seen (and cleaned up) it all! I'm great with puppies, seniors, and pups with quirky personalities. I give lots of love, patience, and belly rubs—and I always tailor care to your dog’s unique needs. Whether it's giving meds, handling zoomies, or providing a calm cuddle buddy, I'm your dog's home-away-from-home! I’m home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of attention and company throughout the day. We’ve got a fenced yard for safe play, a quiet neighborhood for peaceful walks, and we’re just a block from the beach for a little extra adventure (with permission). My sweet senior dog offers calm companionship to those who need it, and assists with play when the zoomies hit! Your pet’s care will be fully tailored to their needs, preferences, and personality. I don’t overlap boardings with other clients, so your pup gets my full attention and care. In addition to Rover’s standard info, I provide a detailed questionnaire to make sure nothing is missed—your pet’s routine, quirks, and comforts all matter when they’re with me!

“Karen was wonderful!!! As soon as I booked her she called me up to introduce herself and asked if I had any special requests. My dog suffers from anxiety and therefore I’m always anxious to leave him with new people. The moment I met Karen I knew my dog was going to like her. She’s warm and gentle with a bubbly personality. She sent me many photos and responded to my text messages right away. I’d recommend her in a heart beat!”

Hannah B.
“I can't say enough about Hannah. Hannah is a very smart, sweet and conscientious person. She loves animals, people, and life. She has a positive outlook on life and is very spiritual in nature. Hannah's love for animals and care for them has brought her to be able to do something she enjoys while going to physical therapy school to obtain her doctorate degree. You can trust Hannah in your home and with your animal's while you are away. Additionally, Hannah is a devoted Christian and is always willing to help others in need. Her prices are more than fair and I wouldn't trust anyone else to love my animals while I am away.”

Summer C.
“I have known Summer for 18+ years. As a young adult she has proven to be a mature, honest, reliable and completely trustworthy person. Over the last several years, she has cared for our family dogs during overnights and extended weekly time frames. Without exception, she has shown them the same safe and loving care that we expect. They always greet her with enthusiasm and complete trust. Awesomeness? YES! As a High school Senior: Presidential Award for Educational Excellence; Washington State (Academic)Honors; Captain of School Cheer Leading Squad; Homecoming Court; and as a first semester college student, a 3.8 academic achievement. Her past job experiences qualify her for dealing with clients and provided her with customer service expectations. A completely well rounded young lady!”

Bailey M.
“Bailey has been our trusted pet sitter for over two years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She has cared for our two dogs, Otis and Whiskey, with a level of dedication, responsibility, and genuine love that is rare to find. From the very beginning, Bailey took the time to truly understand each dog’s unique personality, needs, and routines. She adapted quickly and intuitively to their temperaments—especially Otis, who can be a little anxious when we’re away. What really sets Bailey apart is her attentiveness and proactive approach. She made sure neither Otis nor Whiskey was ever left alone for long periods of time. If our schedule changed, she was flexible and always stepped in to ensure continuity of care. Whether it was early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, she was reliable, punctual, and always communicative. Bailey didn’t just "watch" our dogs—she bonded with them. She sent us regular updates, often with pictures or videos, which showed them not just content, but truly happy and relaxed in her care. She played with them, talked to them, and maintained all their daily habits exactly as we would have. We could always travel or leave home knowing Otis and Whiskey were in the best possible hands.”
