“Callista was just great with our Max. He can be a little finicky, and Callista was able to make friends with him during her stay. She kept us updated with photos and shared how he was doing while we were away. She was housesitting, and when we returned everything looked great. We definitely look forward to Callista watching Max when we go away again.”

About: I lived on a dairy farm growing up and love all animals. 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. I wanted to offer services to all pet lovers, including fish and feathered babies, such as 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 :)
About: With 15+ years of petcare, I love being able to provide a great environment for pet sitting and boarding. I’ve been a dog mom, my whole life and am extremely active - so it’s easy for me to bring pups on long walks and keep them active. My Weimaraner Moose loves new friends! I work remotely from home, so I’m available to be with doggies days and nights, take them on long walks, adventures, and hang at the house with them. I’m big believer in quality time with animals. I have a big fenced in property and yard that my dogs love. My Australian Shepherd just passed away, and now my weimaraner loves to have friends over to play and walk with.
“Leana took such great care of, Watson. Kept him entertained and well looked after. I cannot think of a better person to watch my little guy when I’m away. Thank you, Leana. You’re amazing!”
About: I have had pets since I was 2 years old, and growing up with them made me develop an unconditional passion. I decided to turn this love into “work”, I created a treats brand, and I also take care of the puppies as if they were my own. I have Monday and Tuesday off, so I can take care of puppies all day. My main job starts at 4 pm, from Wednesday to Sunday, so I have the morning free to play and take care of them 🥰 Tell me more about your pet, I’ll meet all their needs and I also guarantee that I’ll offer lots of affection and love. We will be best friends 🩵
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.
