About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, and professionally for the last 15+ years. I am skilled with dogs, cats, small house pets like hamsters, birds, chickens, goats, horses, and even cows! I currently work full time, Monday-Friday from 8am to 4pm at a small public school in South Kona, so I am available pretty much anytime that works around that schedule. I am available for overnight stays as well when necessary. I prefer to work with clients verbally to ensure we have a solid agreement regarding specific care for pets as needed. I strive to go above and beyond when offering care and aim to love my clients animals just as much as I love my own.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, small animals, and hoofed animals, and my experience extends far beyond pet ownership. I hold bachelor’s degrees in biology, psychology, and anthropology. My studies in animal behavior, physiology, and research help me better understand animal body language, behavior, and individual needs. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of species, including exotic hoofstock and birds in a zoological setting, as well as pigs, goats, and birds through wildlife rescue and animal care work. I also volunteered in an animal shelter environment for approximately three years, where I handled and photographed thousands of dogs to help them find loving homes. Through that experience, I became comfortable working with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. I have experience administering medications and genuinely enjoy caring for senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m also passionate about exercise and an active lifestyle and am happy to provide outdoor walks and enrichment for energetic pets. In addition to my animal background, I hold a master’s degree in counseling, which has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to remain calm and attentive in a variety of situations. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, or senior, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to their individual personality and routine so both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I’m a small business owner and public school teacher, which gives me a structured yet flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I generally have the most availability on weekends, school holidays, and breaks—especially during the summer months—when I can provide extended, consistent care and house sitting. During the school year, I’m typically available in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, with greater flexibility on weekends. I’m always happy to discuss specific dates and needs to see what works best for your pet’s routine. I value consistency, communication, and reliability so that pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and owners can enjoy peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine in the environment where they feel most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines are completed on time and as directed. I treat every home with a high level of respect and care, keeping spaces clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. I’m mindful of both the pet’s needs and the owner’s home, and I prioritize reliability, safety, and consistency in every visit or stay. I also believe clear communication is essential, so I provide updates as needed to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: Not only do I have experience with taking care of cats and dogs, but growing up I've taken care of bunnies and aquatic animals! I'm comfortable with many types of animals. I'm currently living with 2 German Shepard and love it! I’m comfortable with all types of animals. Be assured, I can check on the fur babies! I can easily work with your pets schedules, diets, and needs. I've have previous work with working with special/disabled dogs. I'm very adaptable to them.

“Callista was so warm and loving to my dog! She was on time, responsible, and focused on making my dog comfortable and happy, even asking for a brush to take out some burrs that got into his fur during their walk. I will definitely be asking Callista to sit again!”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with over three years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. Whether it’s energetic pups, cuddly cats, or little furry friends, I truly enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I am available all day Monday through Friday from mornings until the evening. On weekends I am only available half day. If you need extra care on the weekends, we can set something up ahead of time. I believe wholeheartedly in scheduling a ‘meet and greet’ both with the owner’s of the pet and of course the pet - be it cat or dog. The most important thing that I’d like to know about any pet is simply the initial response I receive from them (i.e. calm, playful, hesitant, aggressive, etc.) I do not have any breed preferences.

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.

“Jen did everything we talked about. She sent videos of our pack and they all obviously loved her and felt taken care of. I will definitely use her services again. I'm so grateful to have found someone I can trust to love our babies while we're gone. It means the world to me.”

“Aaliyah, thank you for the comprehensive follow-up and for loving my fur baby like he is your own. I know Remy can be a bit overwhelming at times and I’m so thankful that you showed him the love and affection that he needs.”

About: I am an active, dog-lover that would be so excited to get to know your sweet pup! I love taking dogs for walks and going out and exploring the neighborhoods (and dog parks!) around me. They will get endless amount of love and attention while in my care! I currently work remotely, so I am able to stay home for most of the day with your furry friend. Please reach out and let me know if you are in need of a dog-loving sitter! I work from home Monday-Friday and have a 5-1pm schedule. Within that timeframe, my work is pretty flexible so I will often play with the pups on breaks/lunches. I go on walks every evening between 1-4pm, usually 3+ miles. I am not able to offer stays at my own home at this time, but would love to help out and house sit or come stop by to take your sweet pup for a walk! I like to understand each individual dogs needs, so please don’t hesitate to let me know if there are any specific requests for activities/enrichment for your dog.

“Molly is awesome. She’s been taking care of my pup at least two days per week for over a month. She’s super flexible and reliable and this morning she turned off my curling iron I left on so my house didn’t burn down. Highly recommend!”

“I always come home to a happy pup. I do drop-in’s a couple times a day while I’m gone...I feel that keeps my older pup comfortable and it’s great to have your best friend waiting for your return and not have to go pick them up the next day if you arrive home late. Andrea always keeps me updated on how my pup is doing and I always feel at ease when I leave town. Thanks again Andrea!!!”
