House Sitting in Big Island

“Caitlin was a great sitter for our old timer who required extra attention. She is a very good communicator and did very well with our dog. I will definitely be reaching back out to her!”

“Marissa took great care of our three babies (🐶🐶🐶) and our home while we were away. Our place looked great when we got back, and our girls were well cared for. Marissa also communicated with us and let us know when she arrived, left, etc. We had an all around great experience and hope to work with Marissa again!”

About: From having an Irish Wolfhound and Blue Heeler on a farm with cats as well, I’ve grown up around pets my whole life. I currently have an indoor kitten, Mabel, and want to extend my expertise to you as well. I have experience pet sitting for friends often (pitbulls, golden doodles, Great Pyrenees, small dogs/toy dogs as well as American shorthair cats) and I am available full time to pet sit. I am free all day until I start my new job August 20th 8am-4pm. After that starts I am still free outside of those hours to offer my pet sitting services :) I can only pet sit at the clients home at this moment but I would try to extend the same treatment I would to my own home and pets to theirs. Cleanliness and safety is of utmost importance caring for pets along with exercise, play, and affection.

“Josephine did a great job taking care of our senior dog and two cats. We got daily updates on how they were doing and came home to them happy and healthy. Highly recommend if you're looking for a house sitter!”

“Carrie was an amazing house and pet sitter. She took excellent care of our Basset Fiona sending videos and pictures. Also, our air conditioning went out during a heat wave while Carrie was sitting. She was super helpful in letting in the technicians to do the repairs needed and sending pictures of the progress. I highly recommend Carrie!!”

Christine G.

“Amy did an excellent job staying at our home for nine nights to care for our large dog Joey and our cat Quincy. She sent daily updates about each animal and responded quickly to any communication from us. Our animals seemed happy when we returned and our home was neat and clean. We highly recommend Amy!”

About: Hi! I'm Kristoff, an experienced and passionate pet-sitter based in Marion. I may not be the chattiest person in the room—but that’s exactly why you can trust I’ll focus on what matters most: taking care of your furry family like they’re my own. I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10—walking, feeding, playing, and even doing basic training. Friends and family often rely on me to care for shy or energetic pets, and I pride myself on building trust quickly and gently. I currently work part-time and have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend caring for your pets in your home. I’m happy to accommodate same-day requests, holiday visits, or anything last-minute. I’ll treat your pet like family—respecting your home, following your routines, and providing thoughtful care with plenty of updates. Whether your pet needs a calm companion or an active playmate, I’m here to help. My schedule is very flexible and changes often due to multiple part-time jobs and landlord responsibilities. However, I’m typically available every day, and I rarely work more than one job per day. This means I can often accommodate short-notice and same-day bookings, including holidays. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in, or even a quick ride to urgent care, I do my best to be there when you need me. Just reach out—I’ll do everything I can to make it work. I currently care for pets in their homes, as I’m in the process of buying my own. I have one dog of my own—a pit bull/shepherd mix—who is wonderful with people but not other dogs, so I do not offer boarding at this time. I take a calm, patient approach to shy or anxious pets—giving them space, earning their trust, and going at their pace. For high-energy pets, I offer play, walks, and activities to help release that energy in healthy ways. While I don’t currently own crates or pet-specific equipment, I’m open to meeting client needs as they arise. I treat every pet like they’re family, and I aim to make them feel safe, seen, and understood.

“Abigale was great! She stayed at our house for over 10 days to watch our English Mastiff, Meera, and our short-haired cat, Starlord. Abigale took great care of our animals, giving us picture updates regularly. We will definitely be using her again. A helpful tip for anyone interested in the 'House Sitting' service: On top of the Rover fee, we offered to provide a fully stocked fridge and pantry with items of her request. We also tipped her for the care she provided. These are not required, however, it does seem like something that should at least be offered to the sitter.”
