“Kassie handled my pup Zola who is nervous around new people so well! She was super communicative and timely with our drop ins and sent great pics :) Will definitely book with her again and I totally recommend her! Thank you Kassie!!”


“Callista was so warm and loving to my dog! She was on time, responsible, and focused on making my dog comfortable and happy, even asking for a brush to take out some burrs that got into his fur during their walk. I will definitely be asking Callista to sit again!”


“Amazingly punctual and patient with our hyper little guy! Already provided him with hours of companionship and kept him entertained while we have been apart for the first trip!”


About: I have had many pets throughout my life, dogs, cats, chickens, a turkey, fish, bunnies, a mouse. I love all animals equally & have worked at vet clinics in the past. Volunteered in high school, worked for the summer, then after high school in 2018-19 I moved to Montana and worked at a vet clinic there. I pet sit for family whenever needed & have pet sit for family friends in the past as well. I have plenty of open & flexible time as I pet sit & door dash for a living , for now at least. But nonetheless, always flexible with time & will always ensure your pets are well taken care of & loved :) I don’t watch other’s fur babes in my home because I have two dogs of my own & live in an apartment complex, however, I will always be able to watch yours in your home & make sure everyone has the best time while their parents are gone :)

“I felt very comfortable leaving my 2 kitties in Chelsea's care while I was away for several days. She was flexible with drop-in times, which wasso great and appreciated. Both of my kitties were in good spirits when I returned, and I was updated with photos while away. Thank you again, Chelsea!”


“Brianna was great! She was so warm and friendly! Our dog, Roxi, absolutely loved her and all the amazing back scratches she got during the drop in visit. We'll definitely be reaching out to her in the future for visits!”


About: I genuinely have the greatest passion for animals and love being around them and caring for them. I own a house near town with a large backyard and tons of dog toys and beds. I don’t own any pets myself, and work remote as a with my partner. However, my true passion has always been for animals. I have volunteered at local humane societies since I was 12, and even an elephant sanctuary! I was on the board of the largest animal shelter in Chicago (PAWS), and have received formal training in dog behavior and handling. I have experience caring for and walking numerous dogs of every size and breed. I know of some good local parks around here and am willing to take energetic dogs on runs with me! I go on runs everyday, so having a furry friend to accompany me on them would be ideal. I can watch your pet attentively and give them lots of attention throughout the day due to my flexible work schedule. My partner and I both work remote and can provide care for your animal(s) around the clock and can be home with them all day. I treat your animal as if it’s my own, simple as that. They will get ample attention throughout the day, as well as a minimum of 3 walks and lots of play time. I prepare frozen fruits and vegetables that are especially healthy for dogs before I welcome pets into my home so I have healthy treats available at all times. I have also purchased my own dog toys and beds that I have around my home to ensure your animal is always comfortable and entertained.

“Ashley stopped by and gave Wrangler all the love and attention he needed. I’m sure he was happy to see her! She’s trustworthy, reliable, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for your pet care needs.”


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: I have been caring for animals since I was a small child. They are my best friends and usually my preferred companions. I am very active and enjoy walking pets, playing catch or swimming with dogs. I'm an experienced and responsible dog sitter with many references. I am finishing up my career with the County of HI. Hoping to retire by May of 2025 When I sit for other people's pets I usually take time off from work if needed. At this time I am only house and pet sitting at client's homes. Most of my clients prefer to have their pets remain at their homes. I follow their feeding schedule and enjoy spending time loving on them and going for walks.

“Kayli was great! Totally professional and very dependable! She even accommodated a last minute change in our first day's schedule, along with taking care of a package that came in early and unexpected! Both our kitties seemed very happy and healthy! From daily pics to timely visits, Kayli gave 100% follow through on all discussed aspects of service. If you are looking for a TRUSTWORTHY sitter, Kayli fits the bill. We will definitely book with her again. Thanks for everything, Kayli!”


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.

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 :)

“My wife and I had a last min trip to the main land. And did not have time to prepare our 3 cats to be alone for 2 weeks. Victoria really came through for us. None of them got escaped like our last sitter. Every thing that we ask her to do she did no problem. We would definitely be looking for services in the future.”


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: Your pup will be exposed to an active lifestyle. We walk an average of 5 miles per day and typically do so in green, natural and shady spaces like the makawao forest We walk before the sun is high near the coast line, makawao forest midday and beach at sunset This helps keeps us active safe and clean :) We play various games that keep mental stimulation. Pups sleep on their furniture pieces. But nap time is nap time. And by the time the morning or midday adventures are through they’re ready to nap.

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.

“Leana took excellent care of our kitties while we were away! When I expected our shy cat to hide, he instead came out, played and snuggled with her. We arrived home to cats that were well taken care of and excited to see us! We were sent photos of well cared for pets daily, We will certainly be using Leana again. Mahalo Nui!”



“We were so lucky to find Lyrics! Our two young cats quickly bonded with him, and were spoiled with much love and playtime. Lyrics was easy to talk to, listened carefully and did everything that we asked. We will definitely book Lyrics again!”

She doesn't simply care for animals, she forms a much closer connection with them.
