House Sitting Captain Cook

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a professional background in behavioral health and behavior analysis. My work is with people—not pets—but many of the same good-care principles carry over: pay attention to behavior, respect boundaries, maintain familiar routines, and remember that everyone does better when they feel safe and understood. As your house sitter, I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where the smells are familiar, the sleeping spots have already been carefully selected, and everyone knows exactly when dinner is supposed to happen. Keeping routines predictable can reduce anxiety, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—even if your pet insists that you normally serve twice as many treats. Every animal has a unique personality. I’m patient with shy pets, enthusiastic with playful ones, and respectful of pets who need a little extra space before deciding I’m acceptable. Whether they enjoy walks, playtime, snuggles, or simply supervising me from across the room, I’m happy to follow their lead while maintaining the boundaries and routines that help them feel secure. I’ll carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions. You can also expect regular photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and being reminded frequently that they are extremely good-looking. I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family! I work remotely in behavioral health, so my schedule is flexible, and I bring my own reliable internet. Your pet’s meals, walks, playtime, medications, and companionship won’t compete with my work schedule. I may explore the neighborhood during downtime, but I’ll plan my outings around your pet’s routine—not expect your pet to plan around mine. I’ll respect your home, routines, and rules while providing attentive, responsible care. I’m honest, dependable, and proactive, and I’ll communicate promptly if anything unexpected occurs. Before the stay, I’ll review your pet’s routines, boundaries, emergency contacts, and veterinary information. I’ll follow your instructions closely and send regular updates—possibly including photographic evidence that your pet is running the household.

“Amanda does a great job caring for my dog. I will continue to seek out her care in the future when looking for an in-house pet sitter. She always provides great care to my dog, is reliable, communicates well and takes care of the home. This is a repeat booking and she has proven her stellar consistency to provide great care. I highly recommend Amanda for any of your pet sitting needs. Don’t hesitate to book.”

“Highly recommend Kaylee! She saved the day. We had a change of plans last minute and had be out of town longer and within 2 minutes she responded yes so we could stay and didn’t have to worry. She was constantly updating us on how Bentley was doing with pictures of their walks and playtime. We knew she took good care of him because he was so calm and happy when we got home. We will be using her again!”

About: I’ve cared for animals and pet sitting since I was very young! I have farming experience, and I love helping animals feel at peace when their owner is gone. I’ve even dealt with and more complex situations in caring for animals with medical needs. I also have a passion for chickens so if they need care while your gone I’m a great fit! I work remotely so I will have plenty of time to care for your pets specific wants and needs. I want to make sure they feel extra loved while you are gone. I am happy to care for your animal in their home including walks and keep care of basic house sitting needs while you are away. I love to play with pets and snuggle them if they’ll let me!

“Tana was fantastic. She was really good with my older dogs; she adjusted to their temperaments and daily needs. She consistently communicated, sent photos, and most importantly I came home to happy dogs. I’ve had some poor dog sitters in the past and can easily tell the difference with the dogs are from a good or bad sitter. Tana was great and even took mine out for a hike! As a remote worker, it was nice to find someone who also works remote, so as to not disrupt them.”

About: Aloha! We have cared for many animals, plants, and homes over the last 5yrs as full time caretakers + pet au pairs. House sitting in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Bali, Vietnam, California, and Hawaii. As a medical professionals (nurses), we are extremely comfortable with administering medications and special care when needed. *** 50+ reviews on another platform - available upon request! *** Full time pet au pairs, so most of the time is spent caring for the pet and being comfortable in the home environment together - while enjoying the vibes of the local community. Prefer long term care arrangements of 2wks - 3 months. This allows time to bond with the pet, establish routines, and enjoy the experience at a slower pace.

About: I grew up with cats, dogs, horses, ferrets for a while, horses, a turkey, chickens, and fish. Experienced with bully breeds, huskies, labs, French bulldogs, golden retrievers (from the very codependent to the aloof 😬), beagles, toy poodles, bichon, and many more. Education background in clinical psych with extensive behavior change training. Positive reinforcement is the only reinforcer I will utilize with pets and have taught dogs commands, better leash behavior, and even how to give high fives and piggy back rides (one needy golden retriever). I love all animals but sadly can’t have them in my building. Experienced with huskies both young and old (mine lived to be 16 as a rescue with a broken back and needed assistance often) and their unique personalities (e.g., selective hearing, never off leash unless it’s one of the two huskies I’ve trained to go off leash 🤣, boredom, and running away as a game) Flexible work schedule and able to accommodate almost all schedules and needs - whatever works best for you and your pets. Feel free to reach out I am available to housesit or do check-ins and walking and more. Not able to have pets in my home and miss having animals in my life.

About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets for over 40 years. I have trained all sizes of dogs for obedience and hand signal commands. I am assertive and confident with dogs to build trust and loyalty. I am also good with other animals having run a farm for over 20 years. I carry pet sitter insurance. I am retired and looking for part time work in the Waikoloa area. Caring for animals everyday is something I am good at and it would be a dream job for me I have a fenced yard and a large inside area for pets. I am able to come to clients home to care for their pets.

“Leana took such great care of, Watson. Kept him entertained and well looked after. I cannot think of a better person to watch my little guy when I’m away. Thank you, Leana. You’re amazing!”
