House Sitting in Waikapu

“Hannah is the best! She stayed with our dog, Sofie, over a long weekend and we could not have been happier. Leading up to her stay, she worked with us to get to know Sof, who is nervous of new people and takes some time to build trust, and ensure Sofie’s comfort with her in our home. Sofie quickly adored Hannah, and we are very appreciative of Hannah’s willingness to do a slow intro and relationship-building with our nervous pup. Hannah was also a fabulous house guest- leaving everything just as she found it and even starting the laundry before we returned!- and we would love to have her back anytime. It was a relief knowing she was taking great care of Sofie while we were away, and we loved receiving the photos she took of Sof as well. We will absolutely book with Hannah again!”

“Jonathan was amazing! Very friendly, obviously loves and understands dogs, kept our place in great shape and our pets happy! The frequent photos helped us overcome our guilt and anxiety about leaving our elder, very attached pooch behind for a quick trip off island. Will definitely use him again and highly recommend to others!”

“Carey was great! She was very approachable and easy to talk to during the initial meet and great. I appreciate the fact that she has a lot of experience with dogs over the years. She was prompt in arriving at the agreed time. My dog warmed up to her quickly. She sent pictures daily. I really loved that she was able to spend a large amount of time at my house with my dog. We will definitely use Carey in the future. Thank you Carey!”

About: What is it about those dog souls? They capture me, each and every one. I am a Registered Nurse with a heart for all dogs. I have had 3 dogs myself, the last one being a bully breed who taught me a great deal of how to work with dogs who require high management. I understand dog behaviors and idiosyncrasies and enjoy working with different personalities. I work from home so can keep eyes on your pup at most all times. I enjoy breaking up the day with a dog walk or training. I am happy to walk, run, play fetch, work on training or any other request during your pups stay. I enjoy spoiling dogs. But I also practice boundaries and behavioral expectations. My rate includes 2 walks a day and/or other exercise. I also provide a stuffed kong and other chewy toys unless you prefer they don't have ☺️ I am a proponent for dog parents to have a fi or gos collar for their pups. I think it's helpful for you as the owner to know where your pup is and the exercise they are getting as well, in an unfortunate/ unlikely event of getting out we can track them. I work from home so am available at most all times. I also have a half acre fenced yard If possible I'd like to do a meet and greet before sitting. I understand the trust it takes to allow someone to take care of you own pup but also to allow into ones home when you are away. I want to ensure owners are comfortable with my level of care and trust you instill with my service

“Kiaya is amazing! She was so sweet with our anxious pup, and went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and happy. She was communicative and sent pictures, and made us feel much more comfortable leaving.”

“Emma was fantastic with Rico! She was great at communicating, always quick to answer questions and respond to messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I had absolutely no worries knowing Rico was in her care. When I got home, the house looked great, and Rico was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I would definitely book with Emma again. Thank you for giving me a worry-free vacation and for taking such wonderful care of my little guy! 🐾💙”

About: I have a husky mix Kea and we are super active! Daily walks and animal care is in my daily routine. I have been doing rover for a long time now. Apart from dogs, I worked/lived at a cat sanctuary in Haiku that had over 200+ cats as well as chickens and cows. My job consisted of feeding, giving medicine/attention, and cleaning after them everyday. I take care of my husky mix Kea everyday! I work from home m-f and have lots of free time. I love to take care of all kinds of animals. I am looking for some extra jobs on the island! I would make sure I am aware of the clients needs and expectations when being in their home. I will be aware of any precautions and contact the owner with any issues. I will take care of the animals with anything that is needed (walking/feeding/put into crate/attention), I am a quick learner and am open to any specific jobs.

“Casey took care of our pup while we were off island for a weekend; he even brought him his new favorite toy. Casey is very pleasant and we felt very comfortable with him after our meet and greet. He sent updates with pictures and left our place just as we left it. Our dog had a great time with him and we would definitely work with him again!”

“Mandi was so incredible! She took such great care of my Jackson, even taking him to the park multiple times a day to play fetch and sent pictures to keep me updated. She also dealt with his reactivity well which is always a concern of mine when I leave him with others. Responses were quick and as a house guest she left everything clean, even cleaned the bedding in her room which was so kind and nice to come back to one less chore after a busy vacation.”

About: I’ve always had a passion for dogs and recently loss my chocolate lab who lived 14 years. I do still have a 9 year old black lab who needs a playmate during the day. I’ve worked at the Boise zoo for 5 years and have experience in administering medicine. Im currently a full time BSU student and since most of my classes are online, I’m home all day to take care of dogs full time. I have a fenced in yard and I’m walking distance from several dog parks. I have a very friendly black Female lab who would love to have a playmate during the day. I’m a big guy (6’4”)so I can walk 3-4 dogs on a walk. Currently unemployed and looking for jobs in Kihei, Hawaii for now until I find either walk or until I figure out something just let me know and I’ll be there in a jiffy. I talk with the client and make sure to either give them a choice of daily or every other day updates on the dogs progress/mood if anything is out of the norm I will contact them immediately

“Koda loved Myka! We let her know that he has high energy and needs to be pretty active - and she did exactly that for him! She took him to the local dog park and on walks daily and she left our apartment SPOTLESS! She was so communicative and we felt so happy to know he was in such good hands. We would recommend Myka to anyone, and we know Koda would too!”

“Racheal is very sweet and professional! Our dogs Lucie and Ricky had fun and we felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. We highly recommend her!”

“Sarah was amazing. She was great at communicating and sent many pictures and videos of our fur babies. She took care of our home and respected it. And she loved our dogs and took care of them like her own. Our dogs loved her. I’m so happy we found her and will use her again.”

About: I have spent over 18 years in the veterinary field & pet sitting throughout. I bring a level of skill & experience for pets the have medical needs or just prefer to stay at home. This is my full time gig at the moment. Looking for pet sitting opportunities. Love that this gives me a flexible schedule needed to be available as a pet sitter. I have two dogs that a vetted properly. They are also walked several times a day & receive constant love & care. We do positive reinforcement & focus on praise. Love giving them the affection & time to build a quality bond.

“So very happy with Crystal. She took wonderful care of our 4 dogs for a week while we were on vacation. She sent texts and pictures every day and we could tell the dogs were happy. We will definitely use Crystal again when we have a need!”

“Lauren stayed with our pets for a week while we were on a family vacation. She was great at communicating during the trip and we came home to happy pets and a clean house. We would definitely recommend Lauren for house/pet sitting and will use her again in the future.”

About: Over the past several years, I have gained a lot of experience dog-sitting and dog-walking for friends, family, and neighbors. It started simply with my community knowing my love for dogs and seeing me interact with them when I would visit or see them out and about. What was just a love for dogs quickly became something people noticed and then would ask regularly for me to come and take care of their pets while they were away knowing my reliability, care and attention to their furry friends and homes. Weekends are best for me because of my full-time job during the weekday. But I am always available for drop-ins and dog walks throughout the week! I would be more than happy to follow your typical routine that your pet is used to and needs (ex. feedings, walking, play, etc.). I want your pet to feel the most at home and comfortable while you're away. I am also huge on communication and always happy to send photos and updates all the activities and things we're doing!

About: It all started with my neighbors chickens. I have experience caring for birds, reptiles, cats, and dogs for 9 years. Whether it be a special diet or a unique personality, I love all aspects of what makes our pets perfectly themselves. I am a novice dog trainer and would love to encourage your dog to stay on track with commands while you’re away! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with and love on your pups! I’m available mornings and nights on Monday and Tuesday, and all the rest of the days too! I primarily care for pets that stay at the clients' homes. Whether that be for check-ins or overnights. I think the pets enjoy something familiar while their family is away :)

“Just home from our trip. Jennifer did a great job. Good communication, house and dog as good or better than when we left. We appreciate Jennifers great care.”

About: I am a dog fanatic, they are very special to me. I have had many dogs growing up of all breeds and sizes. I will love them whole heartedly, I understand how much love and care they need while you're away. I do have a 9 year old who is dog crazy as well, he has lived with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Animals have a very special place in my heart (especially dogs) and I would love to be the one to take care of your special friend. I know the importance of trust with your loved ones. I would like to bring good energy into you and your pets life with a whole lot of love. Mahalo I am flexible, I don't mind traveling around the island to take care of animals. I have been fortunate to work with animals all over Maui for the last 11 years. I am very open to any specific instructions your special friend will need; first timers, allergies, high energy, separation anxiety and any extra care your pet may need
