“Dianne was awesome! Our dogs were well taken care of and she sent pictures/updates of how they were doing. Of course there was a bad Kona wind/rain storm brewing as we left for Honolulu but she was a champ and said I got this. Our dogs were stuck inside most of the time and she just simply loved them up and gave them so much attention they aren’t going to like us anymore! Will definitely use Dianne again…she’s great!”

Candace F.

“Daisy did an excellent work house and pet sitting. My dogs absolutely love her. She is neat as a pin and is excellent in giving me updates. I’m going on another trip soon and have already booked Daisy. I rest easy knowing Daisy is taking care of my dogs!”

About: I have been around and cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. This care has included walking, feeding, bathing, nail clipping, and maintaining proper sanitation. Being the son of a veterinarian, I also grew up learning the basics on animal first aid, administering routine medications, and caring for senior animals with mobility issues. I currently care for dogs and cats with special needs including skin dermatitis and allergies as well as diabetes. More specifically, I have experience administering sub-cutaneous injections and monitoring blood-glucose levels in cats. I currently work full-time as a research biologist, but typically have a flexible schedule during the week, particularly in the mornings and evenings. My weekends are typically free for any pet care needs. I care for pets based on what the client wants. This includes basic care (feeding, sanitation, exercise) as well as any special treatment the client requests.

“Cathy was good at sending updates and was very attentive to the dogs. she noticed one wasn't going to the bathroom and went above and beyond to get some pumpkin to feed them. she was very clean and left the house in really good shape. she also stayed an extra day for us as we were unable to make it back the day before. She is a lifesaver and we would highly recommend booking Cathy. we will definitely be using her again in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable, caring animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m available for both house sitting and pet sitting. Im located on the east side of Big island and am flexible with traveling. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your home and pets in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! If you have any questions or concerns please reach out Corinne Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part time as a driver, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to travel to care for pets when needed. I’m able to adjust my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s stopping by for visits or staying overnight, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I don’t currently have pets of my own because I rent, so my focus is on caring for pets in their own homes where they’re most comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I also make sure to keep your home clean and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care and help your pets feel safe, happy, and relaxed until you return.

“Best pet sitters I've found on the island! They LOVE dogs, which is really the most important thing. And they're very friendly and easy to work with. Plus, they have a ton of experience pet-sitting, so they aren't easily ruffled. Definitely consider Jody when you're looking for a pet sitter on the Big Island!”

In this location we will have more room for your babies to interact with and a safer environment. We are proud to continue baby sitting your babies in our new location if you allow us to. I will walk, feed, play, brush etc. your dog according to your schedule. We will try to maintain your dogs normal home schedule to avoid any behaviour change.

About: I bring years of experience of loving and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes, both at home and while families are on vacation or on a weekend getaway. I look forward to getting to know you and the needs of your fuzzy companion.

About: For over five decades, I’ve had the joy and privilege of caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. What began as a childhood love for animals has grown into a lifelong passion and profession. From raising litters of puppies to gently bottle-feeding orphaned kittens, and from grooming horses to tending to backyard chickens, I’ve experienced nearly every aspect of pet care. My journey includes extensive hands-on experience with dogs, cats, turtles, fish, horses, cattle, and chickens. Whether it’s managing the complex needs of a senior dog, administering medication to a diabetic cat, or ensuring a horse’s hooves are properly cleaned and checked, I bring a deep well of knowledge, calm confidence, and loving patience to every animal I care for. Throughout my career, I’ve worked on farms, in veterinary settings, and as a full-time pet sitter. I’ve handled emergency situations, special needs animals, and high-energy breeds. I know the importance of not just feeding and walking pets, but understanding their behavior, emotional needs, and unique personalities. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. I work part-time remotely from home on my own flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and personalized care throughout the day. I’m a true homebody who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, so pets are rarely left alone for long. My flexible lifestyle allows me to adapt to each pet’s routine, ensuring they receive consistent care, love, exercise, and a calm, safe environment where they feel comfortable, secure, and treated like family. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my highest priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm, and supervised environment where they receive plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and companionship throughout the day. My five friendly, well-socialized pets can provide positive interaction for social animals, while pets who prefer quiet time can enjoy a separate yard or their own space. If your pet is crate-trained or you prefer they be crated during meals, bedtime, or when appropriate, I’m happy to follow their normal routine. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure and reduces stress. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your home and follow your pet’s established schedule as closely as possible. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, bedtime routines, and favorite activities to help your pet feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I’ll also make sure doors, gates, and fences remain secure, clean up after your pet, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and keep you updated while you’re away. Every pet is unique, so I take the time to understand their personality, energy level, medical needs, and comfort level around other animals. Whether your companion loves to play, enjoys quiet naps, or requires extra patience due to age or special needs, I’ll provide personalized care that helps them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. My goal is to earn your trust by providing dependable care and giving you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is in experienced, compassionate hands.

“Logan is a dog best friend!!!! So happy we have found him! He truly loves dogs and he is very responsible towards the puppies and the house.”

Giuliana L.

“Our pup adores Greg, and so do we! Greg kept our sweet pup exercised, rested, fed, happy, entertained and safe while we were on our first trip away from our little guy. We felt so happy knowing Mookie was in Greg’s capable hands. Would recommend Greg to anyone, and can’t wait to have him with our sweet pup again soon. Thanks, Greg!”

Justine A.

“Brian was the best! He walked our dog twice daily and sent pics and videos! Our German shepherd can be skiddish at first and doesn’t get along with other animals so Brian’s experience helped make KAI’ comfortable. We will definitely be recommending Brian to our friends and family .”

About: Animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and caring for dogs has never felt like “work” to me I genuinely love it. I’ve helped watch and care for dogs for family and friends many times over the years, and I’m the type of person who pays close attention to their energy, comfort, and routines. I know every dog is different and I’m very patient with shy, anxious, high-energy, or affectionate dogs alike. I am very intuitive with their needs and and some people even call me a “dog whisperer”, because of how in tune I am. I love spending quality time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing outside, relaxing together, or simply making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also understand how important updates and communication are when someone trusts you with their pet, so I always aim to be dependable, attentive, and caring. I currently work as an online life coach, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care, walks, check-ins, overnight stays, and quality time with your dog. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals so I’m able to give them lots of attention, companionship, and care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My schedule is very open and flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I always want pets to feel safe, calm, and comfortable while in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine so they can feel as relaxed and at home as possible. I’m very patient and attentive, and I make sure pets have plenty of love, supervision, playtime, water, potty breaks, and a peaceful environment. I also understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide updates, photos, and dependable care so owners can feel fully at ease while they’re away.🐶❤️ I’m also a very clean and hygienic person and I always treat people’s homes with respect and care. I genuinely like keeping spaces tidy, and I aim to leave your home just as clean or even cleaner than I found it.
