House Sitting in Fern Acres

“Tara was a terrific pet and house sitter. She left the house in tip top shape, sent us pics and videos of koa everyday, helped groom his nails and even baked us a delicious banana nut bread to welcome us back. Would not hesitate to use her again as she was obviously very conscientious and caring and a great communicator.”

“Cathy went above and beyond with our pets and house while we were gone for the holidays and we can’t thank her enough! She was great with communication, is familiar with the island and great with animals. I don’t think I’ve ever returned from a trip to find our pets so relaxed and well cared for :) thanks Cathy!!”

“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! 💕”

“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.”

“Christopher is the best dog sitter/house sitter I’ve ever had. He is responsible, communicates exceptionally well, and my 3 dogs love him. I hope I never have to replace him!”

“Bob was a fantastic housesitter / dogsitter for our extremely dependent dog, Lester. Lester can't be left alone for more than a few minutes and Bob kept Lester by his side for ten days straight. Lester developed such a strong bond with Bob in that short time it almost made me jealous. Bob communicated actively with daily photos and updates and he took amazing care of the house, even doing some yard maintenance for fun. We could not be happier with Bob's help, we would use him again without hesitation, and we recommend him highly for even the most challenging dogs. He is a natural.”

About: I am a yoga, meditation, sound healing and permaculture practitioner. I am passionate about nature and grateful to be a pet care giver. This is another form of healing that brings purpose and joy to my life. In addition to taking care of dogs and cats, I also have experience with other animals. I would be happy to help you with your chickens, ducks, quails, cows, goats, turtles, fish, horses and/or bugs 😊 My schedule is flexible and if there is anything I could do to make your and your pets day easier, I am always here to make that a possibility. I take much joy and am mindful throughout my time with your pets. I will listen to you and your pets to provide a safe and wonderful environment for your pets. For house sitting, I have a 3 year old daughter and so if you are open, I can stay with her and my partner in your home and we will take care of your pets and your home. If not, I can hang out with the pets during the day and then come back to my home for the night time. I am looking forward to sharing more silence, joy and laughter with you and your pets. Please take good care until we meet ! Currently my schedule is flexible and I’m happy to accommodate to what our pet friend’s and your needs are. I am also available in short notice so please reach out. Mahalo Currently we are in a beautiful neighborhood in Big Island, Hawaii. We used to live on a big farm with lots of furry friends and farm friends who are always loved as family. I will bring the same love and affection to your home and to your pet babies.

About: I’m very patient and allow animals to introduce themselves to me instead of forcing an interaction. I love seeing all the different personalities that animals have and learning what their special love language is. I’m currently living in HPP in Keaau and I am willing to travel island wide for house sitting. I work remotely so I need reliable internet but I am available to be home with your pet most of the day. I have a little dog with a warrior spirit. We are willing to do a meet and great if you think I can bring my dog for house sitting. If you’d rather I don’t bring my dog, I can manage that too. He’s used to playing with large dogs including pit bulls and poodles/doodles. Feel free to reach out and ask questions. I am willing to just let your dogs out and feed them but I am also willing to be present day and night if requested. Just let me know your expectations.

“Shani is amazing - my dogs love her so much. She also took great care of our home in addition to our dogs. We are super grateful to have found her as we are new to the island. Thank you, Shani!”

“Regan was wonderful to our dogs and I was so happy, let alone so much more comfortable leaving our dogs in her care at our house. She instantly bonded with our dogs and I could not be more satisfied with her service.”

About: I grew up in a zoo. I cared for just about every type of small pet as well as horses and other livestock when I was growing up. As an adult, I’ve always had dogs and cats running around. Having furry critters makes a house truly a home! I live in Volcano Village with my wife and 5 pets. I specialize and have many years of experience working with reactive and formerly abused dogs. I understand their way of thinking, triggers, body language, unique needs, as well as the best way to approach any given situation. Pricing is negotiable, especially for walks and drop-in visits. Living in Volcano, managing fuel overhead, commuting time, and scheduling can be a bit of a balancing act. I’m open to chat. Having had my own businesses since I was 19 years old, I’ve always had strong work ethic and entrepreneurial drive. You can count on my professionalism, reliability, and high quality care that can be difficult to find on this island. Available weekdays and weekends. Morning and afternoons for drop-ins and walks as long as I’m not previously booked. Overnights available for pet/house sitting while you are traveling. Not currently boarding at my property, that may change in the future. Only out-calls for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and pet/house sitting for traveling. Let’s chat!

About: Aloha i'm a dog and people person i like to interact with both. I go college and work part time on Monday and Wednesday between 8am and 2pm. Also i work bite squad part time mostly in the evenings Thursday thru sunday. I can speak Hawaiian and most dogs understand me in both languages. I find it very cool and interesting in training dogs to sit or to get down in hawaiian or English. I am myself around dogs i can be calm and playful at times and most dogs like me. Not all but most. I am sure i can get along with almost anyone's dog as long as they have been trained well in manners and are calm like me. Thanks a lot I work a lot part time plus doing my internship at my college. I'm a full time student worker. I hope how to do more. I took care of dogs by playing with them, taking them on walks and runs back in the day and swim with them I hope that we'll trust each other.

About: Had a family dog at my dad growing up. Always had cats around. Had a some pet rats and fish throughout the years. Been learning a lot in the months now that I’ve rescued my dog. Would combine caring for your dog with my own. Love going on walks and hike along with lounging around. Like to help out other fellow dogs and their owners because been finding out work with a furry loved one at home is not always ideal. Following golden rule, treat others and pets we want to be treated. And the Hawaiian golden rule, leave a place better than how you found it. With love and respect.

“We are so grateful for Shelby’s help with our two large, high-energy dogs. From the moment we met her, we felt completely confident in her care. She is an excellent communicator, keeping in touch before and during our trip—even sending pictures of our dogs having a wonderful time. Her ability to stay full-time at our home was especially valuable for our senior girl, who needs a little extra support. Reliable and responsive—both rare qualities here on the island—Shelby exceeded our expectations. We’ve already booked her for our next trip and feel so lucky to have found her. Thank you, Shelby!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats every since I can remember. I have experience training puppies, raising kind pit bulls and taken care of elderly animals gently and compassionately with lots of love. I own a yoga business and substitute teach in Pahoa. I teach Yoga classes a couple of days a week. I substitute teach 2-3 days a week during the school year. I spend time homesteading when I am not working. I have more than enough time to share with a fur baby or 4!!! I have a 1/4 acre with plenty of room for animals to enjoy. I can walk the dogs around the yard and the neighborhood. They would be treated like family. My home is my sanctuary. My home very peaceful, quiet and serene. I love to play with animals. I have a spoiled kitty that hangs out in the gardens with me.

About: I love pets, and I'm sure your pet will love me too! Taken care of pets not only in one state but many! Your pet is like family. Why not treat them with the best care possible. I am currently available during the week and weekends. Working mostly early morning shifts as a bartender so taking them out when needed is guaranteed! I have an unfenced property behind my apartment. Knowing dogs are very friendly with others I'm very aware of distance and leashes. Your pets safety is my priority.

About: I’ve loved dogs, cats and horses! For as long as I remember. NYC, NM, TX & HI Pets are Ohana. None get left behind or forgotten. From 4am to 10am & after 730pm - later evening shifts. Advance notice is best to ensure all the rubs, tail wags and pet smiles possible. I have a yard or truck to go to parks. An abundance of compassion beyond definition and no fear from the most violent chihuahua to the most docile Rottweiler! Prefer to care in / around your place.
