“Brianna was amazing! I needed to find a last minute pet walker for my pooch and she was able to meet with me in the middle! She was quick to respond, was amicable, respectful, detailed, and communicated with me the details and questions I needed to know before I asked. She sent many pictures, was able to respect and follow my care instructions and most importantly treated my pooch with much tender, love, and care! Flexible, does the job right, caring, and mindful. I highly recommend Bri!”


About: Aloha! 🌺 I’m Callista and here to provide your pets, home and farm with exceptional care and attention while you are away. I strive to go above and beyond the typical pet sitter experience, ensuring you peace of mind while your beloved pet(s) are in my care. My background is in both healthcare and agriculture, allowing me to deliver professional, skilled and detailed services to varied animal friends no matter their size, breed, temperament, or stage of life! My Service Menu includes, but is not limited to: 🦮 Routine dog walking and reinforcement training 🏝️ Doggy Dates to the beach/park with enrichment activities. (Available to the greater Kona, Captain Cook area) ⏳ Drop-in Visit if you are away for an extended period of time and your pet needs a check in. 🏡 Professional Pet, Home and Farm Care-Taking I offer skilled home/farm care-taking anywhere on Hawaii Island! (Ask me about my varied experience and what I can offer) I love to keep you informed with pictures and updates as well as carryover any training or routines you are currently working on with your pet(s). I have experience in assisting animals who have health concerns, and provide detailed updates, photos and administer medication as needed. My hope is that when you return home, you’ll find your pets enriched and relaxed, and your home just as you left it, or shinier! ✨ 💸 If you are new to Rover, make sure to inquire about my $20 off code for first time clients! 🐩 I offer additional services such as grooming and nail trims upon request. 🐾 🎉 Locked in rates and discounts are available for repeat and routine clients. 💲Price is adjustable depending on each unique situation. Let’s chat about your pets needs and work from there! I spent my 20’s in Oregon working on organic farms, apiaries, goat dairies and wineries for crush harvest. I’ve been a homesteader and became known in my community as the local farm sitter! Into my late 20’s, I went to college to study Occupational Therapy. For the last 7 years, I provided rehabilitation therapy to my patients in the acute setting in the largest hospital system in Oregon. Now on Hawai’i, I knew it was time to combine my extensive experience in both fields, providing tailored services to meet my clients individualized needs.

“She was very helpful and understanding.”


About: I worked in a dog boarding and pet day care facility all through high school. Afterwards I did dog walking and pet sitting for those same families after I graduated and continued until recently when I moved. I grew up with lots of pets and I love every single one of them. Dogs hold a very special place in my heart. I have practice dispensing medication to animals due to my past job experience. I’m very active and love playing with dogs and taking them for walks. I also volunteered in my local animal shelter in the beginning of college. I’ve spent plenty of time around dogs, cats, and lots of other animals through out my life. Thank you for reading.(: I’m currently working from home part time while also taking my last few college classes online, so I have a lot of free time and flexibility to care for animals and make sure they’re getting the play time they deserve. I have lots of experience with high energy dogs and fostering a safe environment for them to get out the energy through fun play and runs.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was about 10 years old and have worked in a boarding facility caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments,and health concerns. I am comfortable, experienced & patient with senior dogs and see them as my elder too. There's so much we can learn from our senior fur-baby companions. I love to help puppies explore their environment and build confidence in their own life experience through positive reinforcement training and LOTS of love. 🩷 I am also a musician, and every time my Gretel would be anxious, I would play and she would calm down and relax. I have seen this happen with many other dogs as well. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I would take my dog outside nearly anytime she asked. We'd go on walks or just sit on the hill, soak up the sun, and people-watch. I will care for your fur-baby as though they were my own and will accommodate any requests within reason to ensure your pet(s) are safe, trust me and have a safe and fun environment. I love to take photos too, so I'll send all the updates & photos to ease your mind that your fur-baby is in excellent care (at your request of course).

About: I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Whether your pup loves to run, hike, or just explore the neighborhood, we’re sure to be fast friends. Spending time with dogs is incredibly rewarding to me since they’re always excited to get outside and enjoy the day. I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and have spent the past five years providing trusted, informal dogsitting and walking for friends and neighbors. Whether your dog is young, old, big or small, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and right at home. If your pup has any special needs or preferences, I’m pretty accommodating so just let me know how I can help! Pet care fits easily into my week, even with a varied schedule. I always make time for the pets I care for by planning my day around their needs first. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening checkins. My flexible availability allows me to accommodate different routines, and I’m committed to making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve, no matter what the day looks like. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is creating a safe and comfortable environment that feels just like home. No matter the setting, I care for each pet as if they were my own - with patience, attention and a whole lot of love.

About: I don’t have any experience with dogs, during all of my life I was surrounded by cats. But I am happy to help and to be useful. One important thing for you to know- I have a 28 month old daughter and she is obsessed with all pets. My ohana is tiny, so I can’t take any doggy over 20 pounds I’m rather flexible . Working part time and studying, but I can find time to watch your furry baby. Just need to know a few days before to adjust my schedule My yard is not fenced, it can be a problem. But I can spend time with your little one inside my ohana. One detail- our neighbourhood has a lot of abandoned cats

“Kayli was great! Communicated well and was wash’s on time…im so grateful she was willing to go the extra mile with my very energetic dog! Highly recommend”



About: My name is Lyrics. I grew up with a family dog which we had 17 years, it was amazing then I had a service lab for 12 years that was my puppy, R.I.P. she had breast cancer and sadly left me in 2015. I now have one rescue pup and he's very well trained from private lessons and from myself. He eats Hills plus some snacks. He always goes to work with me, non barker. Before work we go to the dog beach for an hour and a half then another hour walk before bed. On the days off, we hike and go boarding, he has great balance on the paddle board. I love to train him in sign and spend time with him, I'm hoping my pup gets to be friends with your pups. I'm available everyday for walks before 930a and after 830p for cooler ground and drop ins everyday before 9a, between 2-5, and after 8p. My pups are always in Positive reinforcement training vs obedience school, I think positivity helps them grow. We praise the good acts vs punishing the bad acts. I am willing to give your puppies free service dog training, organic snacks, and of course cuddle them. I own my pet store so I can work around needed times 75-5744 Ali‘i Dr ste145 right in town so easy to drive anywhere I prefer early walks before 9a after 8p for heat on the feet but can anytime if your dog has booties or shaded paths near home. Drop ins prefer before 9a, between 2-5, and after 8p. So they're not inside all day. I have a fenced in private yard but as well I use the dog walking large sidewalks around town. In your home I would leash inside to bring outside for walks. I have no criminal or civil record and I do not mind if you want cameras on me in your home in common areas. I also do not mind training on camera. I take lots of photos too for the furparent to enjoy. I do bring my dog w me after dogs have met and feel comfortable with each other. He's service dog trained. I usually don't leave home w o him. I babysit at my pet store too that's right in town so your Pup doesn't have to sit home alone 75-5744 Ali‘i Dr ste145

About: I have a master's degree in Primate Conservation. I have been pet-sitting (cats and dogs) since 2016. I have also been working with primates in zoos, rescue and rehabilitation centers, and zoos since 2002! I'm experiences administering meds, food, and even intramuscular injections to all sorts of animals. I've also assisted in veterinary surgeries in Africa (but I'm not a veterinarian or a vet tech -- I've just worked in a lot of different settings with animals). I teach ESL remotely during nights (my students are in China), so if I'm hired for pet sitting in your home, then I'll need wifi access. I'm also running a research project a few mornings a week. I will come to your home to provide services, such as walking, sitting, taking to play groups, or feeding. I am not able to host dogs in my home.

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, my love for pets is a lifelong devotion. I’ve shared my home and heart with dogs and cats throughout my life, and I’ve been a trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience with animals of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—including senior pets and those needing extra tenderness or special care. In addition to hands-on experience, I bring a calm, grounded presence and a deep sensitivity to the emotional needs of animals. I’m trained in energy healing and often incorporate gentle, calming energy into my care when appropriate—helping pets feel safe, seen, and loved while their humans are away. My approach is intuitive, attentive, and heart-centered. I treat each pet as the unique soul they are, and I feel truly honored to care for them. I work from home a lot and I have the freedom to be available and present full-time. I’m devoted to being with your pet providing all their needs. I prefer to provide care in the clients home but I can also bring your pet to my home. I have a big yard and a deck that is fenced. Pets will are welcome.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was young, from neighbors pets to family pets. Since moving to the island 5 years ago, I have deeply missed the companionship this brings therefore I am starting Rover! I can't wait to meet your fluffy friend soon! :) Thankfully I have a pretty flexible schedule, so this is a great fit for this type of job! I most always will be able to pop in for walks, feeding, etc at your requested time with no issues. Most of my work is remote, so if I am needing to be in your home for an extended period of time, this is also not an issue. I’m very detail-oriented when it comes to following instructions. Whether it's a special diet, medication, or specific routines, I will make sure to follow your dog's schedule just the way you would.

“Ashley is reliable and kind. My dog ipo immediately loved her.”


“Michael did great with my girls. They had a nice walk and he even sent pictures. Would happily recommend him”


“She walked our dog to help after a surgery and our little guy bonded to her right away. Such a great friend for our little friend. Thank you!”


About: I lived on a dairy farm growing up. Currently, I am a chicken mom of 3 silkie hens and 1 rooster. I can service the Hilo and Kona area, just reach out and let me know how I can help. I currently live in the Kurtistown and Kailua-Kona area and open to help with any kind of pet, not just dogs and cats. Currently I am a chicken mom, they are in a safe, enclosed area on the south side and will not be an issue with sitting services. My friend needed me to check on her chickens and other pets while on vacation after seeing a pig break in her coop area, and I was glad to help. I wanted to offer services to all pet lovers, including chickens as I know how to help with common issues such as sour crop, egg bounding, etc. I want to offer both, depending on where and the situation. Please let me know what your needs are. I am here to help :)

Callista G.Star Sitter
“I have repeatedly entrusted the care of my cat, Danger, to Callista. She has consistently tended to Danger's basic needs while ensuring that she feels safe, loved, and adored. Danger is a social cat who requires plenty of cuddles and affection. Callista's gentle yet firm nature makes her an excellent choice for caring for your pet.”

Cyra R.
“Ever since I have known Cyra she has always displayed a deep connection with and a strong love for all furry friends. There was a long period of time where I needed her to look after my black lab pit mix and they grew a very close bond with one another. She doesn't simply care for animals, she forms a much closer connection with them. Cyra has owned numerous dogs and other animals throughout her life and the way she speaks about all of them makes my heart warm. She is a deeply compassionate animal lover and would be a wonderful fit for anybody hesitant about having another person help take care of their dogs.”


Amanda M.Star Sitter
“Amanda impressed me from the very first time I saw her with her dog Gretel. We we're not friends yet, so I had opportunity to observe how loving, patiently and caring she was with her elder dog. Gretel could not walk far, but Amanda would make sure Gretel got out every day and would sit with Gretel for however long Gretel wanted to be outside. Watching Amanda's dedication and love for her dog is what seeded our friendship. Amanda is a most honorable and trustworthy individual .... I trust her w/ my dog and that says it all.”

Monica S.
“Monica took care of my dog Libby for almost 5 months; taking her out for walks and to the bathroom throughout the day. Libby has a history of anxiety having come from an abusive home, which landed her in the animal shelter, so I was worried about how she would repsond to a new person. Monica has such a loving, warm, and gentle character that my dog warmed up to her immediately. I would highly recommend Monica to any dog owner.”


Angela F.
“Angela is great with our medium sized dog. The dog is very excited to see her and she instantly bonded with our animal. She has an ability to comfort our dog like no one else can. You can tell that she has a genuine desire to make our dog happy and cares very much for the animal. I would give her my highest recommendation.”


Caitlyn S.
“I’ve known Caitlyn for years, and she is one of the most caring and responsible people I know. Her attention to detail and compassion make her perfect for pet care. Caitlyn has a natural ability to connect with animals and is always thoughtful about their needs. She is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely enjoys spending time with pets. I have no doubt she’ll provide the highest level of care to every pet she looks after.”
