About: From dogs of my very own to friends and family, I’ve trained, bathed, fed, walked and cared for dogs of all sizes from the age of 13. I will care for your fur baby as if it were my very own! I currently work remotely from home so I have flexibility on a daily basis to tend to the needs of your fur baby whether it’s walks, play time, training or attention. I am happy to accommodate the schedule and needs of each pet. Pets will be supervised at all time for safety and provided cuddles always! I’ll let your fur baby get used to my company and ensure they’re comfortable with my presence. I have a gentle nature so I will not be aggressive or firm with your pets - unless otherwise instructed to by the owner.

“Karina did an amazing job with our French Bulldog, Pablo 🩵 She has been very professional, she was updating us with pictures and text messages, she left the house in perfect conditions, very easy communication and only positive vibes! We will contact her again for sure!”


“I had an outstanding experience with Nahir C, who stayed in my home to care for my cats. She was truly amazing—loving, attentive, and incredibly sweet, both with my pets and as a person. Nahir treated my home as if it were her own, leaving everything spotless and impeccably clean. What really stood out was how thoughtful and dedicated she was to my cats’ wellbeing. At one point, one of my cats started eating less of his wet food. Nahir noticed right away, immediately reached out to me and sent me pictures to show how much he was leaving. She then tried a couple of different food options as I suggested, and kept me informed every step of the way. Her attention to the kitties and genuine concern were truly impressive. You can tell how much she loves kitties! And animals in general, and also humans. She is a very empathetic, kind person. She was very involved with the kitties—petting them, spending time with them, and earning their full trust. She sent me sweet photos of them curled up on the sofa with her, happily accepting her affection. Those moments helped me feel so much more at ease while I was away. And she left a beautiful card with flowers when she left - a card with a photo of the cats! She is such a sweet person. Her communication was also top-notch: she was extremely responsive and always answered my messages straightaway. I highly recommend Nahir to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible sitter. She is now my official cat-sitter! Forever Nahir! The kitties wouldn't accept anyone else now.”


“Sofiya was amazing with our senior dog. She was attentive and loving and truly cared for him like he was her own. She also went above and beyond looking after our home and watering plants while we were away. I will absolutely request her again for our next trip. Thank you Sofiya!!”


“Jessica was absolutely the best! She stayed in our home for five nights with my fur babies and gave them constant love and attention💖 she was awesome with our instructions and very responsible with taking them for walks and their feeding schedule. Five stars and we can’t wait to use her again.”



“Allison was wonderful! She sent me photo updates of my pup while I was away, and left me a good detailed description of what they did: last time she ate, went to the bathroom, etc. I had Allison do the house sitting option and she left my house clean and tidy, you wouldn't hardly know she was there except for the extremely happy pup I came home to!!! Thanks Allison!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats of my own since I was 10. My friends, family, and neighbors also look at me as someone that they can rely on to step in and trust that I can watch over their furry friends! I currently work in the evenings so I am available for daytime walks and check ins! I love nice long walks and I can definitely have your furry friend tag along! I am very active and have always loved taking my dogs on long walks growing up. I have two cats right now that are quite pampered and gives me the time to help others with their own furry friends! I can do long walks and check ins!

“Anuhea was excellent in every aspect! She maintained great communication through booking and her stay. She was very caring on the introduction and took her time to make our dog feel safe in her presence. She even went as far as to sit on the floor and let him come to her at his own pace. That really stuck with us because it showed how easy going she is. She took care of our dog and two cats like they were her own! We actually joked about how they would leave us for her. We definitely recommend her to anyone! She has a great energy and did wonderful with our animals.”


About: I’ve raised my pup from 6 weeks until 3 years old. I LOVE dogs, especially pittys. I plan to get a dog in a couple of years so I would be so happy to help take care of your fur baby until I can get my own. I am working full-time and out of the house Tuesday to Thursday from 6:30am-4pm. I am available in the evenings and all day Friday until Monday. I have a big house and a yard and currently do not have any pets in my home. My house is smoke free and child free. I am happy to provide pictures and videos throughout the time I have them; whatever will make you feel comfortable! I prefer to keep dogs in my house to provide the best safety measures. But I can totally keep them outside if that’s what you prefer.

“Argentina was a life saver. She dog/house for my three dogs for several weeks and on very short notice. She sent many photos of the dogs and was in constant communication. My dogs love her. She took great care of my home as well. She is such a sweetheart and I will certainly hire her again next time I need a sitter!”


About: Going out of town? No worries, I’ve got your pets in good hands! I'm a Certified Dog Trainer that graduated from Animal Behavior College in 2017. I have been watching dogs in my home since 2015, worked at multiple kennels & even opened my own dog training + boarding business called ELLEvated Pet Space LLC since I love dogs that much! I’m experienced with all types of breeds and various ages, so no dog is too big or small! I have plenty of time throughout the week to cater to your pets and treat them like family! We can go on walks or take a trip to the park. Maybe even enjoy a nice day out at the beach! Safety is my number one priority aside from your pets happiness! Nobody would love hearing that your fur baby has gone missing, so I love to hear about your dogs habits (if any) so I can cater to their needs. Escape artist? I will make sure to have eyes on them 100% and do not leave them unattended when outdoors and to keep all exits secure!

About: A BIT ABOUT ME: I’ve been around animals literally all my life. Throughout elementary and high school, I volunteered at the Hawaiian Humane Society and the Honolulu Zoo. Growing up, some of the pets and animals I’ve taken care of were: Dogs Cats (currently I have three cats now) Smaller pets (rats,mice,birds and rabbits) Ducks Chickens A lot of fish and even a baby pig, that required nursing. I work at a dog daycare, but am currently seeking clients to transition to Rover full time and am willing to be flexible. If you are planning an extended trip and need someone to watch your pet everyday, I might be a great fit. I have worked at the pet daycare for 9 years and have experience with monitoring and working with a pack of around 40 dogs (or more) Some of the other jobs I have at the dog daycare are: -Cleaning kennels -Laundry/Dishes/General Cleaning -Cat playtime -Litter box cleaning -Rabbit Care -Preparing food bowls -Dog walking -Enrichment activities for the dogs (such as puzzle time, basic command training, arts and crafts for the dogs, bedtime stories) -Basic grooming (such as nail trims, baths, blow drying brushing and ear cleaning and teeth brushing.) -Monitoring dogs during swim classes -Administering medications to pets -Giving extra attention to animals who are seniors or have special needs PLEASE NOTE When I meet you and your fur babies I would like to spend at least an hour with them before scheduling a pet sitting or regular walking, to be sure they feel comfortable with me. Things I need to know from you: -If your pet has special needs, health problems, allergies, separation anxiety, issues with taking medications, is food/toy aggressive with humans, or other dogs. -If your pet requires medications, any tricks or treats you use. -If your pet has any anxiety at bath time, or during nail trims -If there is anything I can do to make them feel more comfortable, relaxed and happy, please let me know. What you can expect from me: -I will absolutely give your fur babies the love and care they need. Should they require extra attention, you can rely on me. -To give you peace of mind, after a walk visit is completed, or while you are away on a trip, I will update you with a fun report, via email or text. Please note that should an emergency arise, I will call immediately. All animals are special to me…with the exception of spiders. You can trust that while your fur baby is in my care, they will be well looked after. To start, I’m able to work Sunday mornings, Mondays and Wednesdays. If more time is required, I’m flexible. Currently I’m starting as a dog walker, if clients increase I will devote more time to dog walking and eventually sitting Currently, I am available for dog walking specifics on where to collect/return dog can be individualized to meet client’s needs. I would prefer not to enter the client’s home, but if it is necessary, I am willing to do so. If client requests home entry, I will need to meet with owner and dog in client’s home at least twice, to be sure the dog feels comfortable with me. If client prefers leaving the dog in an enclosed yard, one meeting with both dog and owner should suffice, but all decisions will be made case by case.

Sofiya was amazing with our senior dog. She was attentive and loving and truly cared for him like he was her own. She also went above and beyond looking after our home and watering plants while we were away. I will absolutely request her again for our next trip. Thank you Sofiya!!

Megan was simply amazing! Great communication, constant updates & pictures, kept our dogs and their area spotless, and most importantly treated my doggos with so much love and care! She even brought over her own treats to spoil our babies. Over and over again I would and will choose Megan! Amazing sitter and person!

We’re so happy to have connected with Anuhea via Rover for dog and house sitting services! She treated our fur baby as if she were her own, walking and feeding her every day, giving her daily medications, playing with her, comforting her while we were away and sending updates and pics of our baby all the time so that we could truly enjoy our vacation. Anuhea is a dream to work with — kind, compassionate, intelligent and she was also very respectful of our home. 100% satisfied and would definitely use her services again. Mahalo!
