“Cathy went above and beyond with our pets and house while we were gone for the holidays and we can’t thank her enough!

“The BEST sitter I’ve ever had! He is amazing with the dogs, sent me great photos so I’d know they were happy. He went so far above and beyond what I expected. I have 3 babies, and he gave each of them what they needed. He took great care of my house, had everything ready for me when I returned. Will definitely use him again!”


5. Jody P.


“Best pet sitters I've found on the island! They LOVE dogs, which is really the most important thing. And they're very friendly and easy to work with. Plus, they have a ton of experience pet-sitting, so they aren't easily ruffled. Definitely consider Jody when you're looking for a pet sitter on the Big Island!”


6. Teresa F.
“Teresa was an absolute life saver when my dad was sick during COVID and I needed to travel back to the East Coast to help care for him, taking family leave. She stayed in my apartment in North Hollywood in summer of 2021 for 5 weeks and cared for my two cats. I can't tell you what a relief it was to know that my fur children where in the care of a somebody who was so caring, continuous, and detail oriented. I recommend her without hesitation!”


7. Kimberley W.
About: Having years of experience working with a wide variety of animals, I feel I have a dynamic understanding of what motivates behaviors and how trust can be established. My goal is to reduce and prevent stress of both human and animals alike while providing excellent care that ensures safety and wellbeing of your babies. I am currently transitioning out of a career in the medical field and pursuing remote work meaning I have the freedom to relocate to house sit and enjoy what I love-loving on fur babies. I am very capable of adapting to new environments and animals. Modifying my services to cater to the needs of each client ensures excellent experience for all.

“Nikki did a wonderful job taking care of my Border Collie/Australian Shepard! They are a high energy dog and she has the energy to keep them busy! Long walks in the hills and throwing sticks in the river were favorite activities for my dog with her!! I always came home to a happy exercised dog!”


19. Taryn G.
About: I have taken care of animals ever since I can remember. I grew up on a farm where we had cattle, pigs, dogs, and cats. Not only did I care of my animals on a day-to-day basis, I would also petsit for family friends. This included staying at their home, feeding and watering the animals, letting them out to go potty, bathing them, and giving them lots of love while their owners were away. I have a dog back home, and she is a 3 year old terrier and poodle mix. I am currently in college, but I still have plenty of free time to care for your pets! I have a car, so I'm able to leave whenever and arrive quickly at my destination. Some of my classes are online, so I am able to be in different places when I am in class. I listen to my client's wants and needs and I follow accordingly. With every animal, I will give him/her lots of love and attention. I will treat every animal as if it were my own🤍




20. Catherine B.
“Catherine did an amazing job taking care of our labrador, Sophie while we were on a trip. She stayed in our house and sent us text pictures of the 2 of them curled up watching a movie. Sophie got so much love. Catherine also took great care of our house and was a really responsible sitter.”
