Patricia is wonderful, I feel so lucky to have found such a great pet sitter. I had to book short notice for drop-in visits for my cats, one of whom was sick and needed some extra care. Speaking with her, it was clear she is such a kind person who has a great love for animals, I knew she would take excellent care of my cats. On top of that she was prompt, proactive and super communicative — I always knew what was going on with the cats and what to expect when I got home. Five stars all around!

Marya is an excellent pet sitter. I was unable to physically take care of my cats due to heath issues. She responded quickly and I was able to know that my animals are well cared for. She sent photos of my pets so I could see the care they received. I highly recommend her for your pet caring needs.

Kristen is a superior pet sitter. She took care of my dogs and chickens for 1.5 weeks and was on time for her visits. She made sure the dogs didn't escape from the fenced area, she played with the dogs, and even brought them a toy to play tug of war with. When we initially met, she had paperwork for me to fill out, which felt very professional, and in the meeting before we left, she took notes. When I was on my trip, I had forgotten to log into Rover from my phone, so in addition to submitting her photos and comments to Rover, she also sent me the pictures and comments to my phone directly. Lastly, our water system malfunctioned during the trip, resulting in beeping from the filter system. She took it upon herself to send me a video to inform me and asked me if there was anything I would like her to do to address the issue. This wasn't in her pet-sitting duties, but it was kind and thoughtful. I highly recommend Kristen for drop-in visits.

About: I havent been on here in a few years. Getting back out there now that I'm back home in Hilo. I have had dogs most of my life. I have cared for freinds dogs for months at a time. I think dogs are family members. I'm that person that knows the names of all the dogs on my street, and some of the people. My current dog is a sweety and gets along great with other dogs, so I can bring a play buddy if they get along. I can't wait to meet your dog! I work from home, so I can make sure your dog gets the attention it needs. Day care or boarding can be a possibility on a case by case basis. Whatever your dog's needs are I can make sure they are taken care of. I can do short walks with smaller dogs and play with all dogs.

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: My dog of 15 years (lab mix) died a few years ago. I miss her, but travel a few times a year and don't want to leave a dog that long. I have lots of love to give and I love walking with a dog. I have extensive house and dog sitting experience with references. I send owners photos of their happy pups while caring for your pet as if were my own. I work at home (writer and online teacher) so your pet will be by my side during the day and we will take frequent walks together, if your pet likes that. I work at home and walk several times a day so I can bring your pet with me if they’d like to go for a walk. I’m also affectionate with animals, and they are affectionate with me so cuddles will be on the agenda. I have a park nearby and access to nearby home wirh fenced where I could visit with your pet so they could run around even more.
