Cat Sitting in Hawi

“Alexa took care of our two kitties while we were away on a trip. She made sure that both kitties were well fed, entertained and happy the entire time and even went above and beyond to make sure that my cat who has kidney disease was given her medication and subcutaneous fluids. Alexa sent photos and updates every day and stayed in contact with us throughout our trip. I would recommend her to anyone who is not only an absolute professional, but also a caring and sweet person.”

About: Hello! I am new to the island and looking for care for dogs that need love, affection, and care. I know how to truly take care of dogs and listen to what they need. Having a dog is a huge responsibility and each dog deserves 100% care. I am free after 3pm most days and on Weekends. I am happy to walk or sit with your animals. I am happy to housesit any time, as long as I am also able to attend my full time job. I would be happy to sit at your home and respect any and all boundaries that you have in order to keep your family happy.

“She did really great job ! Took excellent care of our two cat, they loved her!”

About: I have been privileged to have pets my whole life. I love being in the company of animals while being outdoors. With a luxury hospitality background I will give your fur baby the extra attention, love and care they deserve. I have the flexibility of creating my own schedule and love being outdoors. Also have the dedication to follow through with your animals needs and wants. I’m familiar with the area. I have the stability to provide the security your pet needs and you want. Let’s chat about what you’re looking for. I like to know your pets routine, commands, allergies, fears and anything that’s helpful to make them feel good.

About: I’ve cared for pets for friends while they were away, including overnight stays, drop-in visits, and daily walks. Having dogs of my own, I understand the patience, attention, and love it takes to keep pets happy and comfortable. I treat every animal like family and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away. What makes me different is my hands-on experience as a pet owner combined with reliable care for others’ pets. I know how important routines are, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or snuggles and I make sure each pet gets personalized attention. You can trust that I’ll care for your pets the same way I care for my own. I work full-time in the boating industry, but my schedule is flexible and changes week to week depending on bookings. This actually allows me to have days off during the week and varied availability that isn’t just limited to weekends. I make sure to update my calendar regularly so you’ll always know when I’m available, and I only accept bookings I can fully commit to. Reliability and clear communication are very important to me, so you can trust that your pets will always be a priority when they’re in my care. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and care for your pets. I take that seriously. I’ll always respect your space and follow your instructions so your pets feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’ve always been a reliable person, and you can count on me to treat your pets and your home with the same care I’d want for my own.

About: I’ve been passionate about dogs since childhood, and I’ve turned that love into a professional career, dog sitting for over 10 years. With experience handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and medical conditions, I ensure every pup gets the care they need. My background includes volunteering with organizations like the SPCA, where I gained valuable experience in animal care and behavior. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide consistent attention and care for your dog. I love going for walks, playing with a ball, and, of course, giving lots of cuddles! Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog with special needs, I’m here to provide a safe and loving environment. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I work from home, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. I will provide personalized care in both my home and clients' homes, ensuring pets receive attention, exercise, meals, and cuddles tailored to their specific needs.

About: Beginning as a volunteer and rescuer, I then moved into pet and house sitting. I continue to foster and volunteer with a local animal rescue and treasure my time with all kinds of animals. I am creating this profile to highlight my specialty services such as dog running, homemade pet food, and portraiture.** A lover of all animals and nature, I’m happiest with both. My touch and voice are gentle, and my style is consistent. Having pets of all kinds and sizes growing up and continuing into adulthood has been a sincere source of joy, gratitude, and service. In the last few years, my time spent volunteering at a local rescue has greatly expanded my experience and skill- especially with special needs animals. Special services and care that I offer include: ~applying my professional chef training to prepare specialty pet food for unique needs, allergies, anxiety, or other conditions alleviated with herbs and nutrition ~when house/pet sitting for you, I’m happy to address the refrigerator and pantries to prepare food before it spoils and leaving you a home cooked meal upon your return or storing in your freezer ~professionally cleaned, organized, and stocked kitchen for you while you are at work or away Additionally, I have been trained and actively competing in Colorado roller derby for 7 years. Using this experience, robust padding, and training, I will exercise dogs that need more than a walk to take them at their pace and level on trail runs on my roller skates. In my many years experience of doing this with several clients as well as rescue animals in my foster care, I have observed many benefits such as: ~improved obedience ~naturally filed nails ~increased happiness and smiles ~less scratching, digging, jumping, whining, barking, and other undesirable behavior ~better sleeping ~improved health and well being The majority of my time during the day is spent outdoors hiking, roller skating the bike paths, or in the garden, and I love to have the company of animals for all of it. At night, I cook, dance, and will read aloud to whoever is in the house. I find animals love this too. As a private chef, I have a lot of time outside of scheduled private events and parties. I can build catering quotes, shop online, and write menus from anywhere. This leaves plenty of time and attention for animals in my care. I like to be outdoors as much as possible and having a pet companion makes it all the more enjoyable for me. I live in a clean and cozy townhouse very near multiple parks and paths. I use harnesses and good judgment while on excursions. I am trained in pet care, proper hydration, nutrition, and herbalism for pets. I never raise my voice and use positive reinforcement and fun to enlist cooperation. Furthermore, animals that are food motivated or fun motivated LOVE me. I love to be outdoors and active but can also cuddle inside for the furry friends that prefer one or both. If your dog likes to run, good news! I like to go fast on the bike paths! Caring for your pet(s) is the highest honor and takes priority while in my care. Please let me know about special needs, but otherwise you can trust that my regular routine is to play, be outside, laugh, show kindness, and provide stellar caregiving.

“Without a doubt, Faith was exactly the type of house/pet sitter that we were looking for. She is competent and caring. We don’t have children, so our pets are our babies. We trust her 100% to care for and love our pets. We received daily updates and felt our six pets were cared for and loved. We came home to a house that was very clean and tidy. We could not have asked for more. We most definitely will be calling upon Faith again on a regular basis.”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life—first cats, then dogs, and many more in between! Since I currently rent in Kapa'au and can't have a pet of my own, I’d love to channel my experience into helping my neighbors while supplementing my income. Caring for your pets lets me share the love I have for animals, even if I can’t have one myself! I work in freelance so my schedule is pretty random, so it would be nice to have something to add to my free time. I love to be outside and go on long walks, so I would imagine pet owners that are busy at work may need something like this. I also have experience with older dogs, so if a long walk isn't in the cards, I'm happy to provide care and attention to any senior pups. I prioritize each pet’s comfort and routine, whether in my client’s home or during walks and visits. I follow all care instructions closely, ensuring they get the right food, exercise, and attention they need. For dogs, that means plenty of walks, playtime, and companionship. For cats, I provide gentle care, enrichment, and a stress-free environment. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away.

About: An animal lover since I was a little girl, I’ve happily cared for many pets and animals in my life, including horses, dogs, cats, birds, fish, guinea pigs, even a snake! I adore all animals and think we can learn a lot from them, but I have a soft spot for our furry four legged friends. Over the years I’ve cared for many neighbors’, friend’s and family pets while they’ve been away, whether house sitting or inviting their pets into my cozy home for a little staycation. I don’t have any pets currently and am dearly missing the company, so I’d love to care for yours! I’m a very cuddly, attentive, reliable and playful pet owner who will shower your pet with love and care, and send many photos and updates. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, I’d be happy to chat and offer my time and care if you feel we may be a good match! I typically work full time Monday through Friday, with a few days working from home in between. Weekends are usually wide open, and I’d love to fill them with a furry friend! Fridays - Mondays are most flexible for me, but I’d love to play around with my schedule to suit your needs! I live in a residential, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s perfect for walks or runs. I have a yard but no fence, so will be extra careful when going outside. Lots of comfy rugs, pillows, and furniture inside for lounging :) happy to crate your dog if desired, or house sit if preferred. Very flexible!

About: I have had numerous pets from the time I was a child into adulthood. I also have experience working in a wildlife veterinary hospital and small animal clinic which provided me knowledge on proper care should anything happen to your pet. I love to be outside so your dog will have plenty of play time. Wondering about my headline? Check me out on Discovery channels Naked and Afraid, Seasons 12 Episode 8! I'm looking for a flexible way to make money and since I love animals and miss having my own pets this is the perfect way to do both! I will make sure your pet it comfortable and loved, fed and clean. Depending on your preferences I can spoil them with treats and play time but am also understand of when time out is needing if you are working on specific training. Just let me know you and your pets needs and I'm happy to accommodate.

“Allyson was amazing with my 15 year old (grouchy and spoiled) Maltipoo. I've never left him alone, and I was so worried before going out of town. Allyson agreed to a meet and greet a few days before, which really put me at ease. Her friendly and confident personality left me feeling assured that she'd take great care of my little guy, and she did! She stayed in constant communication and sent the cutest pictures during her drop-in visits. It was clear that she had my dog's best interest in mind, and I'm so appreciative for her awesome service and attention to detail. I feel confident recommending her to anyone!”
