“As before, Kayli took care of everything my cat Luna needed, and Luna was happy and healthy when I returned home! The daily photos Kayli sent were something I looked forward to.”
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 🩵
“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 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.
“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!”
“My dog loves her. Chelsea is very professional, kind and reliable. Especially since my dog has been sick and I’ve been so worried, she had so helpful dropping in to show IPO love while I’m at work❤️”
“I could not recommend Bailey more, she did an absolutely awesome job taking care of our kitty! Super communicative and went out of her way to make sure he was well taken care of. ☺️ Will definitely book again.”
“Michael was a wonderful pet sitter! He did daily drop in visits for my rabbit. Everything was clean and my bunny was happy upon my return.”
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 just moved to the big island this year (2025) & have been unable to get a full job yet, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babes! 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 always come home to a happy pup. I do drop-in’s a couple times a day while I’m gone...I feel that keeps my older pup comfortable and it’s great to have your best friend waiting for your return and not have to go pick them up the next day if you arrive home late. Andrea always keeps me updated on how my pup is doing and I always feel at ease when I leave town. Thanks again Andrea!!!”
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.
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.
About: I have experience with dogs and cats (also new born kittens), birds, rabbits, and fish. I have been dog sitting for years now, and I have been helping out with friends, neighbors’ pets and couple returning clients while they are away. I'm currently working remotely, so my schedule is flexible and just need wifi when I stay. I will be able to spend some quality time with your pets. We have a beautiful trail next to guys where we go on walks and meet with other babies. The house is pretty spacious for them to explore. I always make sure your buddies have a leash on at all time when we go out.
“Ashley was excellent and I give her my highest recommendation. Wonderful 🐕”
“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!”
“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!”
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.

11. Margo M.
“To start... When I heard Margo Masserman became a caregiver for dogs. I went straight to the shelter and adopted 8 Chihuahuas. Franky, Zacky, Slinky, Stinky, Kinky, Greg, Binky, Squeaky & Frankie (with an ie) I have a major obsession with these adorable Yo QuierroTaco Bell! babies... At first, I thought maybe this would overwhelm Margo.. having to take care of such Gorgeous dogs while maintaining focus on the other dogs. Never the case, Margo is an absolute professional. As Forrest Gump would say Margo and Chihuahuas go together like Peas & Carrots. Obviously, she handles every type of dog, Husky, Dalmations, Wolfs, Labs, Coyotes. But if you are a fellow chihuahua owner and have a current sitter I suggest you switch to her. Margo, I love you and my Babies do too<3 Keep up the good work.”

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.”
