“Olivia is always the best!! Reliable and so good with our girls!!”
About: I have been a dog mom for the past 13 years. I have experience caring for all phases of life from puppy to the sweet senior stage. My oldest pup is 15 years old (I rescued her when she was 2!) and my youngest is 5 years old who I’ve had since she was a puppy. I even have experience caring for special needs as my youngest was diagnosed with an auto immune disorder so am no stranger to administering meds! I am available for any pet care, drop in visits and dog walking Monday through Friday 8am until 3pm and some weekends as well if needed. I will follow whatever instructions you have for your fur baby to a tee. Whatever they need I am more than happy to provide and keep them on their routine!
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: 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 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.

“My wife and I appreciated that Reza spent extra time with our Kitties to make sure they got love and playtime.”
About: I’ve always loved animals as long as I can remember. I have had a lot of pets ranging from a pony to turtles to cockatiels. I have four kitties that are my world 🌏 I’m always grateful for the opportunity to love on other animals too! 🥰 I have been a pet sitter on Rover previously when I was a travel RN in Seattle. I currently work at Krishna Cow Sanctuary and have a flexible schedule. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule. I have been a nurse for the last five years in oncology. I am taking some time for myself to rejuvenate. I prefer getting to build relationships with pets and their people. It’s great for all of us to have continuity of care. My kitties are family and I love spoiling them and making sure they have healthy lives. I also use Rover when I visit my family and friends on the mainland, and know what it means to have someone else make sure that they are well cared for until I get back.
About: I’ve been an animal person since childhood. I find ways to understand and connect with all animals I encounter, as they fill my life with so much joy. I’m currently a student at Northeastern, with a very open afternoon and morning schedule. Most of my classes are midday and only for a couple hours. I have weekends free and am eager to work. I am more than happy to care for your pets needs whatever they may be. I am extremely respectful of one’s space and will ensure your home and pet are protected and cared for.
“Very communicative! Good work!!”
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.
“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.”
