House Sitting Waialae-Kahala

About: I'm amazing with animals. (Dogs specifically.) I can say this confidently, because I'm able to understand and reciprocate communication without a single word being used. I've been attacked before, and stayed because I understand that misbehavior probably has a deeper issue than just wanting to cause pain. - Simply put. I love seeing animals happy within a loving environment. But enough with the bragging and sob stories.😂 If you need a walker, a babysitter, or someone to love the bad behavior out of your furbaby, please reach out! I have 100% open availability. I'm currently working on breaking into the freelance lifestyle, so my flexibility allows for last-minute changes and needs! Open to all days and times! I live in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful but unfenced yard. Your place is honestly (probably) better than mine. I'm a single independent woman with both professional and personal references - can be available to sit at the owner's location with ease of mind guaranteed!

“Lei is a true animal lover at heart, you can just tell from how happy and excited she was to care for our pup. She was a reliable and trustworthy care taker for our dog and home while we were off island. She made sure to communicate well about our pup and home. Our pup was happy and seemed to have a great time with Lei. I would highly recommend her for house/pet sitting or any other needs.”

“Loved having Michelle watch our dogs! She was able to get our very anxious rescue on a leash/walking- which is MAJOR. Would recommend her to anyone needing care.”

“Mike is AMAZING! We booked him to stay at our house with our 2 dogs. Regarding our dogs: One of our dogs is a rescue and can be overly anxious which causes him to be aggressive. In our intro meeting, our rescue dog was being problematic. However, Mike has worked with dogs like him and luckily, my dog's temper tantrums didn't deter him from watching my dogs. During his stay, my dog quickly warmed up to Mike and are now great friends. It speaks volumes to Mike's patience and experience with trouble dogs. Regarding the House Sitting: I don't think necessarily was part of the job description but I do have an older house that unfortunately decided to throw Mike some curve balls during his time watching my dogs. The wind took a window off its hinges and shattered glass all over and my refrigerator sprung a leak. Lucky again for us that Mike is very level headed, communicated the problems to us, and found solutions quickly to remedy the situation. We came back to the window mess being cleaned up, the fridge in working order, and towels used laundered and folded. Overall, I'm incredibly thankful for Mike and will certainly book him again the next time we're out of town.”

“You want Liz to care for your pets! Liz is highly prepared, skilled, nurturing, and trustworthy. We had never left our boys overnight when we hired Liz. She made it an easy, and carefree experience. Our dogs responded well to Liz; she has a calming presence. And BONUS - my house looked amazing when I got home!! So grateful for Liz’s care and kindness. The pictures she sent throughout the stay put my mind at ease. We will definitely be rebooking when our need/her availability matches! Thank you, Liz ?”

“Fumie was incredible! She stayed at our house to care for our dogs. Her communication with us throughout her stay was very much appreciated and she left our home in perfect shape. We are so thankful we found Fumie. Truly a wonderful dog sitter! Thank you, Fumie.”

About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I am comfortable watching dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. If your dog requires regular training or medication, I’m your girl! I prioritize keeping your fuzzy friends happy, whether it’s extra cuddles when they miss you, or an extra long walk to relieve stress! I look forward to meeting you and your puppy pal! Puppy sitting is my passion, as well as my #1 priority! I will always have plenty of time to play with your pups! I like to ensure that the time away from you flies by for your dogs, with frequent play time, lots of cuddles, and long walks! I prefer to care for your pets in your home, this helps to reduce stress for your fuzzy friends! I understand that new people can be scary for some pets, so by keeping them in a familiar environment the levels of anxiety associated with new people is greatly decreased!

“We seriously couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our three doggos while we were away 🐾🤍 From the very beginning, Jordan was so communicative, thoughtful, and reassuring. During our initial meet and greet, our dogs absolutely loved her right away, which honestly gave us such peace of mind leaving them in her care. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout our trip, and you could truly tell she cared for them like they were her own. It’s such a good feeling finding someone you can fully trust with your pets, especially when they’re such a huge part of your family. We came home to happy, loved, well-cared-for pups and are so incredibly grateful for Jordan. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely amazing with animals 🐶✨”

“Joshua did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our two dogs (a 6-month old puppy and an 8-year old doodle). Managing our puppy can be challenging, but Joshua handled it with ease. He took both dogs on plenty of walks, followed all of our instructions, and kept us updated with regular activity reports and lots of pictures. He even left our place looking cleaner than when we left. We would gladly have Joshua look after our home and dogs again”

“We used Veronica to house sit and to watch our cat and dog. Veronica communicate with us daily about our animals and sent us pictures. She was super friendly and listened to all of our needs in taking care of our animals. I would recommend Veronica and definitely will be using her again to watch our animals.”

“Ryan is excellent. He really knows how to interact with dogs. He is prompt and communicative. And we recieived great photos of our pup every day we were gone. We will continue to book Ryan as our dog sitter!”

“Colleen was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and consistently attentive, patient, and loving toward our pups. She truly went above and beyond by taking them on hikes, giving them plenty of walks, and making sure all of their individual needs were met so they stayed happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her attention to detail really stood out, especially since she gave one of our dogs medication and made sure it was administered correctly. What also meant so much to us was her communication. Colleen provided daily check-ins and updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away from home. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about our dogs, and we felt completely confident knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Colleen to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated dog sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

“Victoria is hands-down the most attentive sitter I’ve ever used on Rover. She stayed at my apartment with my Labradoodle, Shiplap, for three days and truly went above and beyond. Not only did she perfectly manage Shiplap’s specific mealtime routine, including his Amen prayer and Fresh Pet preparation, but she also jumped right into our daily neighborhood traditions. She made sure Shiplap got his social time with Sister and the other local cats, even handling the extra feeding for them. What really impressed me was how she handled my apartment’s quirks. My place has a few 'old building' issues like a tricky toilet handle and specific AC breakers, and Victoria managed everything flawlessly. She even kept up with Shiplap’s cooling routine with his fans and towels. What really set her apart was the communication. She sent frequent updates and adorable photos of Shiplap throughout the day, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. I returned to a happy dog and a perfectly kept home. If you want someone who treats your pet and your home like their own, hire Victoria!”

About: I've taken care of animals since I was a child. Whether my own, family/friends' pets, or animals in a professional setting, I've been around and taken care of a wide variety of animals. I've worked in a veterinary hospital for 3+ years, working alongside veterinary technicians and anesthesiologists, assisting in cases and monitoring pets before and after surgery. I've had years of education on animal anatomy and physiology, as well as schooling in subjects such as cell biology and microbiology. I believe this specific education gives me an enlarged perspective on an individual pet and the ability to monitor their wellbeing. I've worked at a pet store, so I have extensive experience on pet food brands, enrichment techniques, supplemental care, and breed-specific considerations. I take this experience and knowledge at the forefront when caring for any animal. I went to school pursuing a veterinary path before deciding marine biology is more of my particular area of interest. I still carry my love for domestic animals, and as I don't have my furry babies on the island, I'd love to help care for others' pets. I'm working part-time as a barista and am looking to expand my career in animal photography! Ideally, I'll be able to have the ability to work with time and location freedom. My current flexibility allows me to show up as a great person sitter! I'm able to walk and/or watch dogs as frequently as needed, considering the distance and specific needs. I'm happy to talk and work out a schedule that works for both of us! I'm honest and prioritize honesty and communication, so I'm more than happy to chat. I live in the top story of a house with 3 other women. There is no backyard access, but I would be happy to take the pet for frequent walks, or a cat would be able to roam around my room. I think staying in the pet owner's space would be ideal, both for the pet's comfort and environmental constraints.

About: Aloha! I'm Victoria - a lifelong animal lover who truly understands what your pet needs to feel safe and happy. I've raised and cared for pets my entire life, so I know the little things matter: keeping routines consistent, giving plenty of attention, and making sure your furry friend feels loved while you're away. I'm reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals - whether that's playtime, walks, or just keeping them company at home. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family and will send you updates and photos so you always know they're doing great. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priority. 🐾 Pet care is a central part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I structure my day around making sure every pet gets the attention and exercise they need. I'm also home frequently, so pets are never left alone for long periods. In My Home - Pets stay in a quiet, comfortable home with just me and my roommate. We're both home frequently and love spending time with animals. I have a large backyard for safe play. I follow your pet's routine closely and send frequent photo updates so you can see they're happy and well-cared for. In Your Home - I follow your pet's regular routine closely: feeding, walks, playtime, and medications exactly as you do. I spend quality time with them (not just quick visits) and handle basic tasks like mail and plants. You'll get regular photo updates throughout.

“Kristie was a very good and reliable sitter. She sent us updates and responded quickly to messages. She also left our place in good shape for our return. Our two little pups seemed to really like her. We definitely recommend her to others!”

Casey M.

“Sophia is our go to pet/house sitter. She has done an amazing job watching our place while we are away. She is reliable, has great communication and always takes great care of our dog shadow. While we are gone she gives us daily updates which puts us at ease. We highly recommend Sophia!”

Reshell O.

“Alessandra is the GOAT! I was naturally a bit anxious about a stranger staying in my house, but she completely blew those worries away. Her energy is 10/10!! She is sweet, genuine, and incredibly loving toward my dog Tito! We started this booking as strangers and ended it as great friends. If you can snag a spot on her calendar, DO IT. She is a total gem and an absolute professional!”

About: Aloha and welcome to Rover! 🌺 I am animal lover that grew up with black labs and cats and I absolutely adore them. I was a former top dog walker with Wag!, winning dozens of badges and accolades. I have 8+ years of pet care experience, specializing in walks and overnight house sitting. Your pup can expect an energizing walk and a full on staycation spa treatment when I stay with them. Inclusive all the good treats and pup cups, daily walks and hikes, and car rides and beach trips if that’s your dog’s thing. Please reach out for additional information and availability. I look forward to connecting and taking care of your fur baby! I can work remotely and be available on weekdays for sittings. I am available on the weekends and for overnight house sitting. I cannot board pups at my house at this time. Following instructions and attention to detail is so important. I love to treat the dogs when I dog sit like we’re all on vacation with long morning walks, pup cup from Starbucks, snuggles, movies, music, and treats. I treat your house like my own and am an absolute clean freak!
