Pet Sitting in Big Island

“First time using Celeste, but she did a great job. I love the photos she includes each visit. Leaving my animals in someone else’s care is always stressful but with pictures and correspondence it definitely makes it easier! Thank you Celeste!”

Tammie T.

“Thank you to Lauren for the drop-in on my 3 pups. She had to contend with a rainy day in which 2 of my 3 have to be coaxed outside in the rain! Appreciate her patience and would recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and attention to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic medications, and providing extra snuggles for anxious pups. I have had years of experience, with having three labs currently to raising two litters of lab puppies. I have grown up with dogs and love being around them I am in school during the week Monday-Friday. Pet care fits best for me during the evenings or the weekends depending on the week of school. I follow your pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules and walk times to favorite toys and cuddle spots. I make sure your pet feels secure in their own space, keep their environment tidy, and send regular photo updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for.

About: I have loved animals since I was a little girl. Having grown up around dogs of all sizes, I’m committed to taking the best care of your fur baby. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust! I currently work from home all week & am available pretty much all day for potty breaks, feedings and play time! I live near a lot of trails and I love walking companions! I have one small dog who would absolutely love a play partner. I live in a very walkable location and my husband and I are constantly taking our dog for walks, another companion would be great! My schedule is so flexible so I am able to accommodate any specific needs!

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and rodents for more than a decade. I am very passionate and experienced with their personalities, needs, and care. I have also taken care of animals of all ages, even senior pets who need a little extra love and attention. I am happy to work with special needs pets as long as the owner works with me to establish a care plan. I am currently looking for full-time employment, so I will have lots of time to spend with your furry friend! This frees me up to take morning or evening walks with your buddy during the hot summer or fall months. I am happy to follow any instructions given by the owners and to cater the experience to each individual pet as needed. I know that every animal has a unique personality and needs, and I promise to always do my best to make sure they are comfortable and safe while they are in my care.

About: My love for animals all started when I was eight and took care of a family friend's cats. Since then, I have gained experience with animals of all types and sizes. In addition to our family dog, I adopted a rabbit of my own who was my pride and joy for six years before succumbing to a hereditary health issue. I also have taken horse lessons, and I currently volunteer with a nearby animal shelter as a dog walker and socializer. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes and breeds, and I look forward to offering your pet the best care it can get. I am currently working remotely, so pet care will be sprinkled throughout my daily routine. Because my schedule is spaced out and very flexible, I will be able to visit your pet as many times as needed throughout the day (or even stay at the house while working if asked) to ensure that they are getting the quality care and attention they need. I work with my clients to give both them and their pets the best possible experience. Prior to hire, I am happy (and in fact, prefer) to have a free 15-30 minute consultation to familiarize myself to the pet and discuss any care specifics that the client may have. Because my care is individualized and will conform to the owner's wishes, I love to send pictures and videos throughout the day of the pet's activities and any extra-cute moments. I make it a habit to send short write-ups of the day and the pet's activities that day so that my clients feel as connected as possible to their pets.

About: I’ve had dogs from childhood up to now as a college student. I had experience taking care of my second dog once he was a senior and needed extra care. And additional experience working with two vet clinics. Currently working on and off until June 22, when I will move to a full time job. Mostly free every day up until early evening until that date I can easily walk your dog anywhere you’d like me to for as short or long as needed. I’m always aware of surroundings and will always ensure safety of your dog. I will make sure to keep the dog entertained and safe if you’re looking for someone to look in on them. And if desired, will keep contact with you with updates. I am more than happy to look after your doggo!

About: I’ve been in a constant home of taking care of animals from a young age. I’ve trained over 6 dogs for basic training and have homed three cats. I’m versatile when it comes to new puppies as well as senior dogs. I’m a part time student so I’m mostly free in the evenings on weekdays and the weekends. For stop-bys and walks, I’m also free anytime before 9 am. In my own home I’ve got a lot of land for my own pets to roam within our land boundaries. Walking is a big part of giving pets time for exercise as well as calmer inside moments along with breakfast and dinner. Taking animals on rides to introduce them to different aspects of our world (exposure- therapy).

“Larissa did a great job caring for our fur babies! Even with our German shepherd being skittish or strangers, she informed us of any issues with our babies immediately!”

Virginia A.

“Eman is wonderful! It was obvious from the beginning how much love and care she has for our fur baby! And our Cookie loved her immediately! I highly recommend Eman and will definitely be using her services again!”

If you want to know more about my schedule to ensure your pets get the best help they need, please reach out! At my house in Pennsylvania, we have a fenced-in yard to let our dogs roam and play freely, but we are always keeping a close eye on them to ensure their safety. I'm used to taking them on walks, cleaning up after them, training them for basic commands, and brushing and bathing them. With my cat's care, she has a litter box in the basement and has free roam of the house, and we regularly wash her if needed. So all of these skills and more can be applied to other people's pets.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember. There was always a pet at home. My best friend in elementary school was my cat, but we had wonderful dogs as well - I grew up with greyhounds. I’ve had a Great Dane, and cared for a Malamute, so size is no issue. If your baby has fur, I already love it. (And if your baby is hairless for whatever reason, I still love it!) At this point in my life, my schedule is entirely my own to command, so I’m able to open it up. My routines are flexible and I can do what’s needed. I’m happy to maintain whatever routine your pet is used to. Walking, crating, however you and your pets live life, I can support and continue.

About: I don’t just care for your pets, I strive to make them see me as part of the family! Also love to clean, so you know you will return to your house with it being just as clean as you left it. Ample training with young pups as well as caring for older animals. I work a job where I make my own hours, so I can fit whatever requirements into my schedule. No need to worry about long stretches without your loved one being checked on! Multiple walks are given each day (depending on their needs), with the option to run with them if they are high-energy dogs. All for the cuddles and playing inside for those that need either or both instead!

“Juniper is so amazing! She was on time, loved our fur babies, and left the house as it was when we left. I absolutely recommend her for sitting!”

Kimberly J.

“Maggie was wonderful with our little guy. From her reports I could tell she took the time to get to know him and was very communicative. And was available on short notice! Will definitely use Maggie again.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, I have a cat currently and family members have always had dogs and cats. I volunteered at the Humane Society throughout high school and have lots of experience pet sitting! 😻 I also used to foster kittens which I loved doing. I love being around animals and caring for them. I am a student working part time, so that gives me plenty of free time to check in on your furry friends throughout the day, take them on walks, and spend the night with them! I am a trustworthy person who will respect your space as I would my own and leave it better than I found it. I have my EMT-b certification and am working currently as an RBT, so I have been through several background checks and first aid trainings. Safety and trust are very important to me and if desired I can frequently send you pictures/videos of your pets throughout the day! 🫶

About: With over 5 years of experience handling small to medium dogs, I've provided expert care through regular walks, feeding, grooming, and pet sitting for family friends. My passion for animals ensures they receive personal attention, comfort, and love, whether it's during daily routines or when they need a trusted sitter while their owners are away ! As a full-time graduate student, pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to balance my academic responsibilities with my love for walking outdoors. Since I’m new to Lynchburg, it’s a great way to explore the community while giving dogs the care and attention they need. I’m available evenings on weekdays and all day on weekends, with added flexibility on Wednesdays and Fridays, making it easy to adjust to your pet’s needs! I currently live in an apartment, which provides a great space to walk dogs outdoors. In the past, I've pet-sat in clients' homes, always respecting their space and following specific instructions to ensure their pets receive the best care. Although I don’t have any pets of my own after losing my dog two years ago, I approach each pet with the same love and attention I would for my own, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while in my care.

About: As a pet parent myself, I treat every pet like family not just a job. I know how important it is to have someone who genuinely cares. “I send consistent updates, pics, and videos so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands.I take time to learn your pet’s personality, quirks, and routines to give them care that feels like home.Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or just being calm company, I adapt to your pet’s energy and needs not the other way around. I also help with my mom's pet transport business so Ive been around all breeds and know how to care for them. Pet care is naturally part of my everyday life ,I'm a pet parent myself, so my days already revolve around feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of love. Adding other pets into my routine just feels like expanding the family In My Home When pets stay in my home, they’re treated like family. I make sure they have a cozy, stress-free space with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles. I stick to their usual routine,mealtimes, potty breaks, and sleep schedule to help them feel at ease. I also keep my home clean, pet-friendly, and safe, with lots of toys and comfy spots for relaxing. In Your Home (house sitting/drop-ins): When I’m in your pet’s home, I aim to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow feeding instructions, walking times, medication needs, and any quirks that make your pet feel secure. I also make sure your home stays clean and respected:mail brought in, lights managed, and your pet loved on every step of the way. I’m big on communication, so you’ll always get daily updates, photos, and any notes on how things are going. Whether your pet is playful or more low-key, I match their vibe and make sure they’re comfortable and cared for.

About: I grew up in a home that had many different kinds of pets- from pups to kitties, to rabbits & guineas! I love being able to give them the love that I would give my own. I have a golden girl of my own now that is my best friend, and I hope to share that love to your fur babies. I am currently working part-time only, so I have the ability to care for your babies around that schedule and what works best for you! My golden girl can be kept in her own space at home, so that I am able to provide a safe space for yours, if needed. She is free to roam when I am home, and is also very comfortable around other animals.

About: I began pet sitting as a teen and have been in and out of the pet service industries for over 10 years. I can do training, basic grooming maintenance, walks, play and cuddle time, learning new tricks. Totally specific to your wishes and your pet’s needs! I have experience with boarding being a boarding trainer for the last 3 years with dogs ages 12weeks and potty training to senior care management - from Yorkies to Cane Corsos! I specialize in working with reactive dogs or dogs who need an experienced sitter. I am familiar and professionally trained in the use of tools (ecollars, muzzles, slip-leads, etc.) if that is something your dog requires. I have some experience as a former vet assistant so keeping your babies safe is a top priority and know how to administer dog first aide until the pet can be seen by a vet if any unforeseen circumstances arise. I am familiar with allergies, sensitivities, nutrition and medication management. I have a pretty flexible schedule so please reach out to me with your dates as soon as possible and I can get you on the books. Scheduling is based on a first come first serve basis. I am happy to come to your home so your babies are as comfortable as possible in their own environment while you are away! I would love to take your dogs on adventures and outings upon request at an additional fee depending on the type of outing. Taking them out to parks or on hikes, store visits or swimming if that’s something they enjoy (dogs must have a up-to-date Lepto vaccine for swims) or just out for some playtime in the yard. I am able to crate rest your dog if you so desire and do walks in the neighborhood. I have all my own equipment for long-line enrichment sniff walks. I have professional experience reading dog body language and behavior and will never make them interact with other dogs if they are not comfortable with it, I’m happy to advocate for their personal space. Due to liability concerns unknowing the temperament of strange dogs, I will not take your dogs to “dog parks.”
