“Cathy was a joy to meet and have her take care of our animals! She goes the extra mile for them and truly cares about the animals! We came back to a cleaner household then we had left it and that was appreciated too. She kept contact to a minimum but plenty enough to know that our animals were well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her wholeheartedly.”

“Jojo took great of our pups and our house! She sent pictures and updates regularly and the house was in better condition than we left it. My dogs love her so much, I swear they miss her already! Will definitely book again.”

“Auntie Dianne is an ABSOLUTE gem! She is in a word… INCREDIBLE! We are so lucky to have found her!!!! She has dog sat for us twice now and has provided TOP NOTCH love and care of our furbabies! She is very proactive with her communication both with initial meet up and during her service! She shows up on time and checks in at appropriate intervals with updates of our fur-kiddos (with adorable pictures of course!)! She is easy going, flexible, relatable and sweet as pie! In addition to treating our babies with the same tender love and care as she would her own, she treats our home with the same level of respect — consistently leaving our home even cleaner than how she received it! Can’t beat that! We can say with absolute confidence that when we leave, we know and trust our furbabies and home are under her competent, watchful and loving eye! She is our first call for all our doggo sitting needs! Mahalo Auntie Dianne! Till next time! 💕”

“Kristen was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs and two cats. She communicated throughout her stay and shared cute photos. We returned home to a few happy critters! Would highly recommend her!”


“Daisy is a reliable, thoughtful and caring petsitter. She listened very well to our needs for our dog and outdoor cats. She went above and beyond our expectations, taking our dog out for more than just walks but fun car rides and adventures. She even asked if we had a seatbelt for him, and when we didn't have it at the house for her, she went and bought one "to have for next time." We really appreciate how Daisy is proactive in her job, she isn't afraid to ask questions about anything our dog may need. She communicated throughout her stay and sent photos which always made us feel reassured. Through our talks with Daisy, we learned what an animal lover she is. My husband and I highly recommend Daisy for petsitting any animal, and for housesitting. We will definitely call on her again!”

“Katalin was fabulous with our dogs. She asked a lot of questions and really got to know them before we left. Our dogs were well taken care of and we would hire her again without hesitation. Great job!”

About: I have worked with animals from a very young age! I treat animals like royalty (because they are) and I am a good animal reader and comforter. All of my family members and friends always call me to take care of their pets because they don’t trust anyone else! I’m also very knowledgeable about training dogs. Let me love your doggie❤️ I run on my own set schedule working from home as a silver smith, I occasionally have markets I go to, but I’m mostly free most the week if I’m not out adventuring! My home has a nice grassy area in the front and backyard, plenty of shade and fun places to play. I have a fence, but there are some openings and walkways in it so I’m willing to let dogs out on a leash if needed. If I’m able, I love to take dogs with me on walks, to the beach, and give them a fun time. I live with my boyfriend whom also loves dogs. Occasionally I will kennel the dog for small increments of time if I need to go out and do something that doesn’t allow dogs, but I prefer to be with them as much as possible.
“Bob was exceptional with communication from start to finish! He had all the right questions to ask to make things go as smoothly as possible and have the best care for Pearl. She is intimidated when she first meets men but he knew just what to do and knew to ask the right questions to ask in order for me to convey this to him. They left the place cleaner than they found it and I appreciated that! I heard positive comments from neighbors about how well she was taken care of so I will definitely be calling on Bob again.”

“Austin was great. He and his wife communicated constantly, they always sent us pictures, the dogs were extremely happy when we got back from our trip and the house was spotless. Would absolutely recommend.”

“Our pup adores Greg, and so do we! Greg kept our sweet pup exercised, rested, fed, happy, entertained and safe while we were on our first trip away from our little guy. We felt so happy knowing Mookie was in Greg’s capable hands. Would recommend Greg to anyone, and can’t wait to have him with our sweet pup again soon. Thanks, Greg!”


“Kai made our stay away a lot less stressful. He sent some awesome pics of our dog getting hugged and spoiled...just what we hoped for! Looking forward to having Kai stay again in the future!!”
“Aly was amazing!! One of our dog was injured needed some extra care and Aly was wonderful in providing that care. She was also great about communication and texting us updates. Not only do I plan on using Aly again, I’ve also been recommending her to my friends.”
About: I raised 5 different dogs over the years from the puppy stage and I understand and enjoy their company more than most people. I get along with dogs I love dogies of all sizes. My current dog is passed away so I don't have a schedule. Looking forward to taking care of your fur baby. Thank you very much. If I'm at your home you tell me the rules for your dog and I reinforce them with your pet. I am open for taking the dogs for rides in the car adventures and walks it's up to you.
About: We are an experienced house and pet sitting family with multiple successful sits including in Hawaii caring for cats, dogs, fish, and homes with gardens and outdoor responsibilities. We have completed house sits on Oahu and the Big Island and have earned 5-star reviews reflecting our reliability, communication, and care. I bring a background volunteering with an animal rescue organization where I fostered animals, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. We take the responsibility and exchange of house sitting seriously and are meticulous about following instructions, maintaining routines, and caring for homes respectfully. What sets us apart is the amount of time we naturally spend at home. In this season of life with young children and a remote-working spouse, pets receive a great deal of companionship, affection, and consistency while their people are away. You can also expect: • Excellent communication and regular photo updates • Strong attention to detail and routine-following • Respectful care of homes, artwork, gardens, plants, and outdoor spaces • Experience with tropical homes and environments from both Hawaii house sits and 5 years living in Florida • Clean, tidy, and conscientious home care I am a lifelong dog owner and have experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments through personal ownership, rescue fostering, house sitting, and pet sitting. Experience includes breeds and mixes such as: • German Shepherds • Labrador Retrievers • Australian Shepherds • Bernese Mountain Dogs • Small companion breeds • Mixed breeds and rescue dogs I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, supervised outdoor time, reinforcing owner routines, and adapting to different activity levels and personalities. I understand that every dog has its own temperament and routine, and I prioritize keeping their schedule familiar and low stress. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. My husband joins me on sits and works remotely, and with young children we spend a large amount of time at home. This means pets receive plenty of dedicated time, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Our routine works especially well for pets that benefit from human presence, consistency, playtime, and affection. We prioritize: • Morning and evening routines • Walks and exercise schedules • Feeding consistency • Playtime and enrichment • Companionship throughout the day • Maintaining established household routines We care for homes and pets with the understanding that this is a meaningful exchange built on trust. I keep homes clean and tidy, and strive to respect others’ belongings and spaces as if they were our own. You can expect us to: • Follow instructions carefully and thoroughly • Maintain pet routines and household systems • Provide updates and photos • Keep homes clean and organized • Respect artwork, furnishings, gardens, and outdoor spaces • Secure pets appropriately and prioritize safety • Communicate proactively if anything arises I understand the trust involved in leaving both beloved pets and a home in someone else’s care and take that responsibility seriously.
“Dani was absolutely amazing! Our usual sitter wasn’t available, I was extremely nervous and she was so sweet communicating thoroughly the entire time. So grateful she was available during the holidays and still able to enjoy her holidays! Cannot wait to utilize her expertise again! Thanks girl! ☺️”

Wainaku pet parents share their Rover experiences
Regan watched my two kitties in Hawai’i while I traveled thousands of miles away, and did an awesome job! She truly has a unique gift with animals that is absolutely priceless while you are across the globe. Loved the photo and video updates from her. Finding a trustworthy petsitter like Regan on this island was a true blessing🌺🐈

Patricia is AMAZING!! From the first moment that we made contact and leading up to our travel, her communication was wonderful! We are in Hawaii moving our son to Hilo for college and we couldn’t have asked for a more loving and perfect match for us and our puppy!! She sent us pictures and videos to reassure us that our dog was happy and in good hands. If you are in the area and looking at profiles, your search is officially over 🥰👍🏽🌺🌈
