“Patricia was an amazing pet sitter for our 3 cats while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. She gave them lots of love and attention, kept their litter boxes clean, made sure they had fresh water and food, and even sent us daily pictures and videos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. Highly recommend her!”
“We had some weather issues on the first day we left and Stephanie was very helpful and accommodating. She made sure our dogs were taken care of throughout our trip.”
About: I have always grown up with multiple animals (birds, bearded dragons, goats, small/large dogs, etc). I am a lover of all animals and am very active in my personal life. So whether your pet needs to be walked or just a simple drop in, you can count on me! I currently work as a Registered Nurse and am wanting something new to do in my free time. My schedule is very flexible since I work 3 days out of the week I am renting at my current place, so do not allow animals to stay with me. But I am willing to drive to you! Let me know what you and your pet needs from me and we can make it work!
“Dawn is wonderful and is a perfect person to look after your fur babies. So grateful”
“Jessie is great! She does an excellent job taking care of my cat’s needs, playing and keeping me informed with photos. It’s such a relief knowing my cat is in good hands while I’m gone at work. Very much appreciated, mahalo”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my extensive hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and my ability to provide specialized care. I have a 10-year-old dog that I personally trained and continue to care for through his senior years, managing complications from old age and two ACL tears With dedicated rehab and treatment. In addition to this, I rescued two kittens when they were only two days old, bottle feeding them for months after losing their mother. I’ve also worked on a horse ranch where I trained and rescued horses, and took care of a range of animals, including pigs, goats, cattle, chickens, and more. My experience with hunting dogs and my background in animal rehab rehabilitation further sets me apart, as I understand, the unique needs for each animal, and I’m committed to providing the best care possible. Whether it’s specialized training, senior care, or helping with recovery from injury, I bring compassion, expertise, and a deep love for animals to every sitting experience. I’m currently a student athlete at UH Hilo with most of my weekday availability after 11am and I have a lot of availability on the weekends. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize respect and attention to detail. I always ensure your properties is treated with almost care, keeping everything clean and organized. I follow any specific instructions you provide, whether it’s maintaining routines, administering medications, or adhering to house rules. Your pets, comfort and well-being on my top priorities, and I make sure to create a safe, calm environment for them while respecting your space and preferences. You can count on me to follow through with whatever is requested to ensure both you and your pet are happy and at ease.

About: I’ve had experience with puppies and can work on light training, I’ve also dealt with elderly dogs administering regular medications. Of course middle aged dogs are no problem as well I work full time but I don’t do much outside of work so I have a lot of free time to do what I like, like taking care of a furry baby! I can take dogs for regular walks, make specialized meals for those with dietary restrictions and can provide regular check ins for those who are nervous about leaving their fur baby
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old for neighbors, friends and family. These people have relied on me to walk, feed, and board their pets. I have worked and volunteered at National Mill Dog Rescue for four years where I have enjoyed socializing with dogs in a kennel or play yard, command puppy parties and walks, and have lead outreach programs and events. I'm currently a junior in college who is unemployed, so I'll have plenty of time to walk, run, and play with your pups or kittens! My schedule is currently very open on weekends and during the week it can fluctuate with my class times. I can always make a house stop or walk anytime after 9 am. Home services are currently inactive. However I can provide pet care in the comfort of your home to be sure your pup is enjoying their stay while you're away.
“Liz did an awesome job with Daisy (mini-Goldendoodle) and Rose (wobbly cat) while I was on vacation. She is super friendly and a huge animal lover! The animals loved her and were well taken care of. Liz is easy to communicate with and flexible on scheduling changes that may arise! Would not hesitate to use her again!”

Vanessa was great. We were comfortable with her as soon as we met her. She simply stopped by once a day for three days to feed our two house kitties, clean their litter boxes and check on their welfare. She shared pictures of our babies each day and gave us daily updates to let us know they were doing fine. She followed our instructions very closely and had a very attentive, professional and cheerful attitude. Our kitties agree. We recommend her to care for your pets.
Allison is fantastic with my 2 cats. She has been reliable, a good communicator, and I can tell that when I come home she not only followed instructions, but has gone the extra mile towards treating my furbabies with love. And she herself is a lovely young woman. I highly recommend her.
