About: I've lived with cats and dogs since I was born, and I started taking care of friends' and family's pets in high school. I love pets and am always down for a walk, play, or belly rub! I am a master's student at UH so I am on campus during most of the day on weekdays for class and research but I am typically available in evenings and on the weekends with notice. I am happy to take care of your pets however you prefer. It's your pet and your home so the ball is in your court!
“I was able to schedule drop-in visits last minute with Lyndi. Lyndi came over prior to meet the cats and so I was able to show her around. While I was away, she sent me pictures, came on time and did what I had asked her to do!”
“We're so glad we found Shea and her kids to check in our our 3 cats while we were away on a trip. We were able to leave our cats at home where they were most comfortable, and we didn't have to worry, knowing that we had a very experienced cat sitter! Thank you so much!!!”
About: I have over 30 years of experience caring for and walking dogs, primarily through dedicated volunteer work. Now that I’ve retired from my previous career, I have the full-time availability and energy to give your dogs the attention and exercise they deserve. I pride myself on being active and reliable, ensuring every dog gets a safe, stimulating walk tailored to their needs. I am currently available for a limited number of walks per week, which allows me to provide dedicated, one-on-one attention to your pet. I have great flexibility during the day to work around your dog's specific routine, provided we stay within a part-time schedule. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I am physically fit and capable of handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels, even those who pull. I always check pavement temperatures before heading out and stay vigilant of our surroundings to ensure a safe and rewarding experience.
“She did a great job taking care of Tiamat! Very happy with her, our dog really liked her coming to see her amd walking her! Thanks again for taking care of our dog! Will book with you again for sure if you're available the next time we go on a trip and need someone to watch our dog!”
“Liana was a blessing to have a trustworthy and reliable caretaker for my kitties. She did such a great job taking care of my kitties and was very prompt in her response. She was very capable in feeding, playing, and cleaning. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who is in need of a petsitter/caretaker!”
“She’s amazing!! Always on time, sent the best kitty pics, my cat loved her! Would most def call her again when I’m in need of a pet sitter- highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting since the age of 12 and even raised a puppy of my own, so I understand the patience, consistency, and love dog need at every stage. My years of hands on experience set me apart by giving your pup both reliable and genuine companionship! Pet care was a regular part of my daily and weekly routine, as I had a pup of my own. I made time everyday for feedings, walks, play, and plenty of affection. Weekly, I kept up with grooming, enrichment activities, and consistent schedules, so pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved-just like they would at home. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment where pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I follow their routines as closely as possible. In clients’ homes, I make sure pets feel secure in their family space by keeping up with feeding, walks, play, and any special instructions, while treating their home with respect.
“Ryan was a solid choice for our kitties! He responded promptly to our messages, gave us updates in a timely manner, and ensured Stamper and Kitty be comfortable while we were away. We will certainly be reaching out for his help again.”
“This was my first time ever having to use a sitter for my boys and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! My boys were so well taken care of and she managed to get Salem to come out of his shell, he has never been this comfortable with anyone outside of the family before so I will definitely be requesting her services again whenever we need to and she’s available!”
“Sydney is great! Would highly recommend her as a pet sitter. Took the stress away from leaving my bunnies for a week. Followed instructions well and could tell she really cares about animals.”
“Jenna was amazing with my kitten! She provided lots of photos and thoughtful updates that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my kitten was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Jenna is reliable, kind, and truly loves animals. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“We trust Jessica to take care of our cats every time we’re out of town. She is super responsive and caring and just an all around great sitter. Can’t recommend her enough!!”
About: Hi! My name is Nikki Kalani and I’m a Native Hawaiian MD/MPP student and loving pet owner. I was raised with lots of dogs and cats, and I love caring for animals. I have experience with pets of all sizes and energy levels, and I love meeting new pets! I am available for house sitting and have experience watching both dogs and cats overnight. I can be easily reached via text if you have any last minute requests. I am looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pet! I work in-person full-time (typical 9am-5pm weekday schedule) but am available to fully attend to your pets before and after work, and weekends. Outside of work, I am a home body and enjoy spending time with pets. I can very easily adapt to different home environments and different pet needs. I am very clean and detail-oriented, and will leave a home exactly how I found it. I understand each pet has their routine and I try my best to keep that routine while you are away.
About: I have experience working at a dog daycare (pets in the city) - which provided care for elderly dogs, as well as big and small dogs. I am packpro training certified, which means I have training on subjects such as dog body language, dog handling, emergency situations and CPR. I also have my own pets - two cats and a Shiba Inu. They are my family, and I'd love to treat your pet like family too! I have had various pets since I was a kid! Rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, dogs - I have even taken care of horses. Animals are my passion! Aside from my dog daycare experience, I have personally pet sit and have done dog walking for my own customers too. I'm currently working part time, so I am available on most days (guaranteed Saturdays and Sundays). If I am working on the day you need me, I would be available after 7pm. Otherwise contact me and we can work something out! I will send photo and video updates to you so you can be worry free about how your pet is doing - no matter how short the walk is. I'm comfortable with giving medication. Your dog can have an enjoyable stroll around the neighborhood, or we could even do some jogging.
Waikiki pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nea made everything about going away and leaving my kitties ao much easier for me. She was attentive and responsive daily which really put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy time away without worry. I got daily updates and photos and I looked forward to that every day. I've booked Nea multiple times already and would not hesitate to recommend her. She is exactly what you want in a pet sitter.
I highly recommend booking Janey. She is incredible! She loves animals and will make sure your pet is well cared for. Thank you so much for taking care of my cats, Canelo and Lio (even though they were up to no good some days lol). You will definitely be my first choice if I need to find a sitter through Rover again. You made my vacation stress-free, knowing that they were being taken care of.
Emily was absolutely wonderful with our two toy poodles! From the moment she met them, they took to her immediately, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and went above and beyond what we asked of her. It was clear from her updates and photos that she genuinely cared about our dogs and spent quality time with them during each drop-in visit. Thank you so much for everything!!
Liana and Wilbur are so amazing! Our cats can be very weary of new folks, yet they were able to make them feel comfortable in such a short time! They make a great effort every visit to make sure the cats get played with, fed, water, litter, and are completely taken care of and loved!
Jamie was such a great kitty-sitter!!! She followed all the instructions, and loved up on them, so I knew my kitties were in good hands! It is the first time I hired someone to come into my home, so I was a little nervous. But Jamie exceeded my expectations! Highly recommended!
Maya did an outstanding job watching my oftentimes temperamental orange cat. She arrived at the agreed upon times, kept me updated via the Rover Cards, and even got Marmalade to drink his water from the faucet. When I returned my place was neat and tidy as well.
Sonja was such a great sitter. My pups were looked after and cared for while I was on an international trip and I had to have her look in on them last minute. She was very responsive and kept me updated the entire time. Will definitely reach out for any future trips!🐶😊
Victoria was a great sitter for my 2 cats! She was quick to respond and very accommodating even with a short-notice request. My female cat is very shy around strangers, but I could see from the photos that Victoria took that my girl became comfortable with her rather quickly. I am satisfied with the care that she gave them as they were in good spirits when I came back home. 😊
