Cat Sitting in Honokaa

“Such a great experience for the dogs and us too! They had a wonderful time with Ocatilla! She is very professional and personable. You can really tell she’s an animal lover :) We got amazing pictures from with each visit! We will be booking more getaways with Ocatilla for sure!!”

About: Aloha! I’ve always been a huge animal person and have helped friends with pet sitting while they’re out of town likes walks, feeding, hanging out, cuddles, check-ins, all of it. I don’t have formal training, but I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love being around animals. I’m also looking for a way to get outside and be more active, so dog walking feels like such a natural fit for me. I have three cats of my own with their own little outdoor routines, so I really understand how important trust, consistency, and care are when it comes to pets. 🐾 Aloha! I work at Parker School as an early childhood educator, and during the summer I’m helping with the elementary camp, so my schedule works really well for pet care. I’m available for early morning walks and check-ins, evening walks and feedings, and I can often do quick drop-ins during my lunch break depending on location. I’ve helped friends with pet sitting while they’re out of town and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m reliable, communicative, active, and attentive to routines, and as a pet owner myself with three cats at home, I understand how important consistency and trust are when caring for someone’s pets.

About: My dog is my baby. If I could take her every place possible, just know she’d be by my side. She is my family. Let me take your dog out and treat them with as much love and care as I do for my dog💙 I wake up early in the mornings and take my dog out on a walk as well as when I get home from work. We take long walks and stop to take in all that nature has to offer. We often head over to the dog park to play with the other puppers and it’s her favorite time of day. My dog is currently indoors but I do spend quite a bunch of time outside with her as well. We have a small yard that we are planning on fencing in so my dog has more place to run and play.

“Leana did a great job! This is our second time having Leana care for our 3 dogs. We received updates and photos with every visit. Everything was perfect when we came home and our dogs were calm and not that excited to see us-which I see as a good thing! We will definitely call on Leana again and give her an enthusiastic recommendation.”

“Nina took such good care of my animals! She sent prompt updates with photos, and I felt very comfortable having her watch my babies. Thank you Nina!”

“Amelia was great with me dogs, and my dogs were very comfortable with her. She has a peaceful and trustworthy persona. I would be happy to have her watch my dogs again.”

About: Was trained by the Southern Oregon Human Society; in a program to take at risk dogs and turn them around into adoptable trained best friends. I love dogs and have grown up with them most my life. I know the proper care and attention they need and sometimes might spoil my own pup a little too much. I’ve got many references as to my pet ownership/pet sitting and would love to share. I’ve owned 2 Weimaraner's, 2 Australian Shepherds and 2 pits have grown up with rotties,labs and huskys and many small dog breeds. I am not beginner with massive dogs and love the little ones. Just let me know what you need and we can make it happen. All prices negotiable just let me know what you can afford and I will try and work with you. 24/7 availability, same day or night booking accepted, easy cancellation, rain or shine I will be there for you and your pet. No minimum needed I strive for providing the best care and services available. I develop a relationship with each pet and treat them as they are my own.

“Duncan does an amazing job taking care of Yuki, our elderly husky with strong separation anxiety, while we are at work. Yuki has several 'special needs', and Duncan has done a remarkable job keeping Yuki safe and keeping us up-to-date on any issues/problems. Duncan is truly a life saver and we highly recommend him.”

About: I started watching (overnight and taking on walks) dogs at the age of 11. I absolutely adore your furry friends, and can't get enough love from the pups. Since I don't own any puppies of my own (though I do get to watch and walk my grandmother's dog often), I absolutely adore getting to steal other peoples' pups even for just a few hours! I always send pictures to the owners, but you can tell me if you'd prefer less or more! Seeing as I am out of school, and don't work a full time job, am am available for a lot of hours. This being said, I have picked up a couple other gigs lifeguarding and babysitting, so I say I am not available for potty breaks less than every 8 hours just because if there are days I do both lifeguarding and babysitting I wont be able to. That being said, outside of those two gigs, your pups (or cats), are my top priority! Seeing as I am unable to host pets in my home at this time, I would be seeing the pets in your home. I am very comfortable with this, as I often sleep overnight at one of my friends family's house when they are away in order to watch their pups. I am also happy to water plants or anything else to be of help to you.

About: Hello my name is Sage! I have a deep love for all being, but really love animals. I believe that we are here to give fur babies the best lives we possibly can while we can. - Professional belly rubs (been in practice my whole life). - I have experience taking care of large or small breeds and anything in between. - I love to spend time making each animal feel special and taken care of (talking to them, petting them, playing with toys, or simply just sitting with them so they are not alone). - I love getting outside with dogs and exploring (hiking, running, waking, or golfcart rides). - I welcome calm or hyper breeds. - My goal is to meet as many dogs as I can.

“This was the first time using Rover services. Luna was good , healthy and happy . I’m so thankful for the wonderful service. Thank you so much!”

About: I moved to the Big Island three months ago and caretake 7 acres with my fiancée Kindra. It’s been awhile since I’ve used Rover, but with my new free time and love of animals, I decided to get back on. My experience: since the day I was born I have lived with animals. My mother, being a veterinary technician with 20+ years of experience, always encouraged me to volunteer at the animal shelter by walking and feeding the dogs, cleaning their teeth and dishes, playing outside with them, and providing love and compassion. I love being outdoors and going to the beaches or local parks for walks and running, but also enjoy curling up on the couch and watching a movie with a fur baby to relax after a long day. A quick phone call to my mother allows me to ask any question about your dog or cat’s specific breed in order to better care for them. However, in an emergency situation, I am well equipped with the knowledge and confidence to conduct any first aid. My farm work schedule is very flexible and I have my own vehicle to get around at all hours of the day and night. As much advanced notice as possible is appreciated. Whatever is needed or requested, consider it done. I take the fur babies safety and comfort very seriously, both physically and emotionally. I treat every animal as if they were my own.

“Timely, kind and responsive to a very last minute request.:)”

“Thank you for taking good care of my babies!!”

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.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve personally cared for dogs, cats, and small animals throughout my life, and my experience extends well beyond pet ownership. I hold a degree in biology with coursework focused on animal behavior, physiology, and research. This background helps me better understand animal body language, behavior, and individual needs. I’ve worked with a wide variety of species, including exotic hoofstock and birds in a zoological setting, as well as pigs, goats, and birds through wildlife rescue and animal care work. In addition, I spent approximately three years working in an animal shelter environment, where I handled and photographed thousands of dogs to help them find loving homes. Through that experience, I learned how to safely interact with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, a senior, or requires a little extra patience, I strive to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual personality and routine. I’m a small business owner and public school teacher, which gives me a structured but flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I currently have more availability during weekends, school holidays, and breaks (especially during the summer months), when I can offer extended and consistent care for pets and house sitting. During the school year on regular weekdays, I’m typically available in the mornings and evenings, with greater flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific dates and needs to see what works best for your pet’s routine. I care deeply about consistency and communication, so pets feel settled, safe, and well cared for, and owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine in the environment where they feel most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines are completed on time and as directed. I treat every home with a high level of respect and care, keeping spaces clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. I’m mindful of both the pet’s needs and the owner’s home, and I prioritize reliability, safety, and consistency in every visit or stay. I also believe clear communication is essential, so I provide updates as needed to give owners peace of mind while they’re 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!

“Christopher did a great job taking care of our boy! We have a big, energetic young dog and he knew exactly how to play with him and keep him entertained! He left our place neat and tidy too, which we appreciate. We definitely recommend him!”
