Pet Sitting Waialae-Kahala

About: Having grown up with 4 dogs (border collie, golden doodle, brittany, and yorkie), it’s safe to say I have always loved animals. I have over 10 years of experience petsitting/housesitting in Chicago. I moved to the island 5 years ago and because I go back to visit family, I sadly haven’t been able to get a pet here. I miss having an animal around and will treat yours as if it were my own and am excited by the idea of getting to spend time with them. I am very attentive and patient, so I will make sure that your pet has everything they need and more. I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs and have also cat sat as well in the past for various families. You can trust that your pet will be with a reliable sitter who creates a safe, comfortable environment with personalized attention to each pet. I am home for the majority of the week and am able to stop by your house, take your pet outside, or take them to my house. I am fairly flexible and able to work with your schedule. I am very respectful of other's homes and of their routines. I try to keep the animals as comfortable as possible by continuing to care for them just as you would.

“Gabriela was amazing with our three animals. She was always detailed with her updates to us. The animals didn’t miss us much since Gabriela was checking on them twice a day and giving them all lots of attention. She also took care of all our fish, plants, etc. without being asked. Would definitely hire her again!”

About: I have over 10 years of experience house sitting and caring for pets in NYC, providing reliable and loving care for dogs and cats of all sizes. As a pet parent myself to my 5 year old dog, Lola, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and personalized attention. Whether it's a daily walk, playtime, feeding, or administering medication, I ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my schedule! On the days I'm available, I don't have other work commitments, so I'm pretty much open. This allows me to be flexible and fully focused on providing the best care for your pets. I tailor my pet care to each dog's age, energy level, and specific needs. For active dogs, I'm happy to go on long walks -up to 4 miles- since I love walking! I walk my own dog almost early morning around 5:30 AM or in the evening if the morning isn't possible. In both my home and my clients' homes, I focus on creating a comfortable, safe, and engaging environment. Whether it's playtime, cuddle time, or just ensuring they stick to their routine, I provide attentive and loving care to keep pets happy and stress-free.

“Kassie handled my pup Zola who is nervous around new people so well! She was super communicative and timely with our drop ins and sent great pics :) Will definitely book with her again and I totally recommend her! Thank you Kassie!!”

About: I've taken care of my own pets since I was seven. Additionally friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk and care for their dogs, and care for their cats. I am available on weekdays after 2pm and all day on weekends. I am very active so do not mind an animal that requires lots of exercise. I will try to keep your pet's schedule as normal as possible so it is like you never left. I will keep their life just as you would, giving them plenty of attention and love.

“Claire did a fantastic job taking care of our cat and dog while we were away. She was timly and her piucture updates were cute and helpful. She's great!!!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of every breed and size my whole life. My household growing up has always had at least 1 extra fluffy family member making our lives better. I have always had a way with dogs, and have been one to call on to take care for the likes of family, friends, and strangers alike. I work 12 hour days on the weekend and love to fill the rest of my time with taking care of your extra loved one. I spend most of my time in nature, working out (outdoors and indoors), surfing, martial arts, and studying / learning new things everyday. Care has to do with reading what the dog is trying to communicate. I want to make sure he/she is on their proper eating schedule, rest when they are tired, walked and played with when they have energy and the zoomies. Making sure he/she doesn’t run out into the middle of the street or gets aggression from other dogs is vital. I have a semi-fenced yard with an open driveway. There’s a dog park very close by. When taking care of dogs at your property, I make it my mission to follow the house rules to a tee when it comes to furniture and indoor/outdoor rules.

“Leilani and Luke are awesome pet sitters and took care of our cat perfectly. They had great communication with us and sent lots of pictures and videos while checking in.”

“Kristie was great and handled my puppy like a pro! He was reluctant to get back in his crate but she took great care of him and made sure he was secure until I got home. I highly recommend her services.”

“Vicky is the best! She took amazing care of my dog when I was away and he absolutely loved her. She is dependable and sincerely cares for the pet and family she is helping. She provided updates after each visit and went above and beyond. I will definitely hire her again!!”

“Lianna is fantastic! I have used her many times and will continue to. My boys enjoy her visits, evident in the photos of her drop ins. I always feel confident and comfortable knowing Lianna will be checking in on them.”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life, and I have extensive experience in dog-walking and sitting, cat care, and home care, ever since I was a teenager. I love animals and am even a wildlife photographer. I have personal experience service training dogs for psychiatric service, as well. I am able to ensure not only premium, safe, and reliable love and care for your animals, but also your plants and the general welfare of your home while you’re away. If your animal has special needs or training curriculums, I am able to meet them, so your time away doesn’t become time off from necessary routines or specialized care. Additional services and excursions (hikes, dog parks, beach days, etc.) are available upon request. Mahalo for thinking of me for the care of your pet! I work part time in the evenings and am a member of a canoe paddling team that practices three to four times per week, so my schedule is flexible with plenty of time for your pets! Being a dog-owner myself, maintaining routines and going the extra mile for play and exercise is important to me. I am currently self-training my rescue for psychiatric service, so I am very comfortable working with dogs from a variety of backgrounds with different levels of confidence and social comfort. I have also cared for cats and am comfortable with their often varying levels of social needs, as well as their basic care. I will never use negative reinforcement with your animal, ensuring a gentle, fun, and trustworthy experience for your pet. Additional services and home care (plant care, delivery reception, maintenance/vendor monitoring, etc.) are available, as well.

About: My entire life I’ve had a deep care for all animals! I can’t wait to cuddle and play with your furry friends and give them a proper home away from home! I’m in my junior year of college at UH Mānoa majoring in psychology! My schedule is very flexible & I’m willing to squeeze in playtime with any furry friends! I live in a studio apartment on campus so bigger dogs wouldn’t be allowed up, but there’s plenty of space to enjoy the campus greenery! Smaller dogs are welcome to come hang upstairs! :)

“Bella was precisely on time and completely gracious. My dog has separation anxiety and is very shy with strangers. Bella knew just how to reach him by literally getting down to his level. By sitting on the floor drawing, he came over to investigate and become friends with Bella. It's unusual for him to warm up to someone on the first visit, but he did. I'm so grateful that she was able to come on short notice and that she took such good care of him. I highly recommend Bella and hope to have her visit again!”

About: I’m Sophie and I have owned 5 dogs throughout my life and have lived and taken care of 3 different cats! They’re of all different sizes so I have no issue with size:) I’ve had to care for all of them multiple times and I never lose my patience because I love them too much. Animals mean so much to me, so I know how important it must be for yours to be put in the right hands. I know how to care for them, give them love, and follow directions clearly. I can walk them, pet sit for them, play with them, take them on a hike/to the beach, and feed them. Message me about any other questions or details you need clarified! I’d love to meet yours! I’m free a lot of days in the week so I have a lot of availability to help out! Just let me know a schedule you’re thinking of!:) I have had experience with giving dogs oral medication every morning and/or night. I have experience with feeding them, I walk them a lot and take them to the park and to the beach as well!

“Mike is awesome. He cared for our four -- yes four -- mostly mixed-breed, medium/large pups and at no time did they ever seem too much for him, and they all loved him. He was attentive, took them into our yard for play and gave them lots of affection and comfort while we were away. Would we use him again? In a heartbeat.”

About: I’ve always had an interest with animals. Growing up my parents never wanted pets in fear that we ‘wouldn’t take care of it’ but I assured that every time I would and when they finally listened that’s what I did. I always took care of our dog. Trained him, feed him, took him out, and cleaned up after him and even payed for veterinary visits like it was my only purpose. It comes very naturally it’s apart of my daily routine. I would be able to take care of your pet on days I’m off all day and from morning to early afternoon while working. I would definitely ask about your pet and make sure to get to know your pet best in order to care for them the best I can. I would make sure they’re comfortable and I am able to help them with what they need. Playtime, walks, food, snacks, etc.

About: I’ve been a pet-owner my whole life, from turtles to hamsters to dogs (of course!). I love caring for animals and am missing my dog dearly, which is why I’m here! I work from home four days a week, so I’m free to walk and/or check on your precious pet(s) as needed. I love animals and enjoy getting my steps in when I can! All animals are perfect and precious and quite frankly have never done anything bad. I love to play with, walk, and spoil our friends’ pets. I live with my partner, and we both often dog-sit and cat-sit for our pals, so I’d love to extend that service to other folks. I miss my family dog and would love to spend quality time with some sweet animals!

About: I am my mother's fourth child (I grew up with three golden retrievers). Two of the goldens still go to the beach everyday at ages 15 and 16 (they still live with my mother). I've been swimming, walking, playing, washing, cooking for, feeding, cleaning up after, chauffeuring and generally chilling with dogs almost everyday for 15 years. I'm accustomed to medication regimens and mindful of safe play, especially for elderly and disabled dogs. I'm also very comfortable with large and extra-large dogs. My childhood friends include a Newfoundland and St. Bernard. I have experience pet sitting in clients homes in the Bay but am new to Rover. I just started a sabattical from lawyering. I am on a work sabattical, so I am happy to tailor my schedule to you and your dog's needs. Please provide me with advance notice of your schedule whenever possible. I prefer to care for your dog in their home so that they are the most comfortable. Otherwise I would prefer that your dog and I establish a few walks or activities before boarding at my place, so that they feel safe and comfortable with me.
