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!”

“Carey took very good care of our boy while we were gone. She sent us pictures every day and made several trips for his rides and going to the park. He really warmed up to her and we will be using her again when needed.”

“We got tons of pictures and updates from Johnathan and our pup was the most calm he has been after being away from us for a few days. Will definitely rebook!”

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

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!”

“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.”

Pam H.

“Myka watched our 7 month old puppy and 8 year old pit while we were away for a week in Florida. This was my first time leaving the puppy so I was a bit nervous leaving him but Myka was very calming and comminuted well which put my mind at ease. The pups warmed up to Myka right away! She took them for daily hour long walks and even to the local park. We will most definitely look forward to using Myka again in the future!”

“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!”

Kathleen H.

“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.”

Alexandra B.

“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! 🐾💙”

Elizabeth S.

“Crystal kept us updated and sent photos each day we were gone, which allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation, rather than worry about our guys back home. Thank you Crystal!”

About: I have been a Rover sitter and dog walker since 2023 and have always had a lifelong love for all animals. Growing up on a farm in rural Nebraska, I was responsible for horses, cattle, pigs, chickens, goats, cats, dogs, and even fish. This hands-on experience honed my understanding of different pet needs and personalities. My cat, Milly, has been a part of my family for 9 years and counting. I have worked at a vet clinic and interned at the California Wildlife Center, which gave me veterinary medical knowledge and skills. I am comfortable with medication administration and special diets. With 20+ years of pet care experience, I'm dedicated to ensuring your fur family receives the utmost care and attention they deserve! I'm thrilled to offer my flexible availability to cater to your pet's needs! I am available on weekdays in the mornings and afternoons, and can schedule for midday as well depending on your location. Most weekends I am available to schedule for any time that suits you best. Based on the pet parent’s guidance, I tailor my care approach to match their pet’s personalities and preferences. I have experience working in veterinary medicine and can help administer any medications or give special diets. Safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities.

“Jennifer took on a 1.5 year old Lab puppy, an old grumpy Chihuahua mix and a homicidal cat. She rocked it - all the animals loved her patience and attention (they told me) AND she does animal massage too! We are more than thrilled with Jennifer and hope she is willing to sit for us 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.”

Kali W.

“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: 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.

“Makana was thorough, professional in the days leading up to our scheduled pet sit, and so good about updates and photos in the time I was away. I would highly recommend Makana to any one🙌”

“Natalie watched our two pups while we were out of town for our wedding. Having a 6 month old puppy as well as a 4 year old dog was no easy feat, but we could not have been happier with their care! While we were busy with wedding events, Natalie was amazing at updating us and sending daily pictures and report cards. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs! Can’t wait to have her back:)”
