“Tara is such a wonderful human inside and out. Her calm demeanor and caring personality was so welcomed with our pups. She’s an incredible soul and we are so grateful to have met her. She really went above and beyond and we are so grateful for the care she provided the dogs.”


“Cathy was good at sending updates and was very attentive to the dogs. she noticed one wasn't going to the bathroom and went above and beyond to get some pumpkin to feed them. she was very clean and left the house in really good shape. she also stayed an extra day for us as we were unable to make it back the day before. She is a lifesaver and we would highly recommend booking Cathy. we will definitely be using her again in the future.”


“Auntie Dianne is an ABSOLUTE gem! She is in a word… INCREDIBLE! We are so lucky to have found her!!!! She has dog sat for us twice now and has provided TOP NOTCH love and care of our furbabies! She is very proactive with her communication both with initial meet up and during her service! She shows up on time and checks in at appropriate intervals with updates of our fur-kiddos (with adorable pictures of course!)! She is easy going, flexible, relatable and sweet as pie! In addition to treating our babies with the same tender love and care as she would her own, she treats our home with the same level of respect — consistently leaving our home even cleaner than how she received it! Can’t beat that! We can say with absolute confidence that when we leave, we know and trust our furbabies and home are under her competent, watchful and loving eye! She is our first call for all our doggo sitting needs! Mahalo Auntie Dianne! Till next time! 💕”


“Austin did an awesome job taking care of our fur babies!! He’s professional in every way. We received pictures and videos of our dog and cat every day which made all the difference in giving us that peace of mind when away from home. He even went a step above helping us schedule a home improvement delivery that came up in the middle of our vacation!!”


About: I’m very patient and allow animals to introduce themselves to me instead of forcing an interaction. I love seeing all the different personalities that animals have and learning what their special love language is. I’m currently living in HPP in Keaau and I am willing to travel island wide for house sitting. I work remotely so I need reliable internet but I am available to be home with your pet most of the day. I have a little dog with a warrior spirit. We are willing to do a meet and great if you think I can bring my dog for house sitting. If you’d rather I don’t bring my dog, I can manage that too. He’s used to playing with large dogs including pit bulls and poodles/doodles. Feel free to reach out and ask questions. I am willing to just let your dogs out and feed them but I am also willing to be present day and night if requested. Just let me know your expectations.

“We trust our dogs and home with him completely!! Now having watched our dogs a number of times, they jump up to greet him and are so happy. We especially love that he keeps our house looking tidy and gives the dogs lots of playtime outside. Will use again and again!”


“Jody was fantastic! She stayed at our house with our 2 dogs while we were away and made sure both the dogs and house were well cared for. We will absolutely be using her again and recommend her to anyone! ”


About: I love all furry creatures. I have over 7 years of veterinary experience, one year with the Spokane Humane Society, and a lifetime of personally caring for our furry friends. I am able to adapt to any schedule that you may need (outside of my work schedule, of course. My personal schedule is light and flexible), and can administer any medications that may be necessary (including insulin). I fostered for SHS and other rescue organizations for years and usually took on the special needs ones, so I've encountered a variety of animals with particular circumstances. I'd love to take care of your furry child; message me today! With my flexible work schedule as of late, I can provide care as requested. If your pup is used to daily walks in your neighborhood or at the park, I am (typically) able to work that into my own schedule. I come from a fear-free background, so I incorporate those tenents when I interact with any animal. I encourage owners to write a detailed list of their pets needs and how they'd like me to care for them so we both have piece of mind.


“Stephanie is awesome! I have 3 doggies and one of them was having a skin issue. Stephanie applied his medication, kept him in his “no scratch” suit and even got a cone on him! Everything went smoothly. Good communication and the dogs were quite happy when I got home! Thank you!!”



“Shani is amazing - my dogs love her so much. She also took great care of our home in addition to our dogs. We are super grateful to have found her as we are new to the island. Thank you, Shani!”


“Mr Coconut loved having Mayumi stay with him. She brushed him daily and provided his meals a treats just as scheduled. She even did the extra work to track down CoCo's AirTag collar that was in a neighbors yard. she is thoughtful, considerate, and thorough. The house was neat and tidy after her stay and CoCo was sad to see her go. Thank you.”


“Regan handled our three dog pack like a pro. Our three rescues each have their own personality, are young and full of energy; two are even on meds. Regan did a fabulous job handling their detailed, daily routine and provided honest updates. We greatly appreciate her as a sitter and will definitely use her again.”


About: Had a family dog at my dad growing up. Always had cats around. Had a some pet rats and fish throughout the years. Been learning a lot in the months now that I’ve rescued my dog. Would combine caring for your dog with my own. Love going on walks and hike along with lounging around. Like to help out other fellow dogs and their owners because been finding out work with a furry loved one at home is not always ideal. Following golden rule, treat others and pets we want to be treated. And the Hawaiian golden rule, leave a place better than how you found it. With love and respect.

“We are so grateful for Shelby’s help with our two large, high-energy dogs. From the moment we met her, we felt completely confident in her care. She is an excellent communicator, keeping in touch before and during our trip—even sending pictures of our dogs having a wonderful time. Her ability to stay full-time at our home was especially valuable for our senior girl, who needs a little extra support. Reliable and responsive—both rare qualities here on the island—Shelby exceeded our expectations. We’ve already booked her for our next trip and feel so lucky to have found her. Thank you, Shelby!”

About: Aloha i'm a dog and people person i like to interact with both. I go college and work part time on Monday and Wednesday between 8am and 2pm. Also i work bite squad part time mostly in the evenings Thursday thru sunday. I can speak Hawaiian and most dogs understand me in both languages. I find it very cool and interesting in training dogs to sit or to get down in hawaiian or English. I am myself around dogs i can be calm and playful at times and most dogs like me. Not all but most. I am sure i can get along with almost anyone's dog as long as they have been trained well in manners and are calm like me. Thanks a lot I work a lot part time plus doing my internship at my college. I'm a full time student worker. I hope how to do more. I took care of dogs by playing with them, taking them on walks and runs back in the day and swim with them I hope that we'll trust each other.

About: I have worked with animals from a very young age! I treat animals like royalty (because they are) and I am a good animal reader and comforter. All of my family members and friends always call me to take care of their pets because they don’t trust anyone else! I’m also very knowledgeable about training dogs. Let me love your doggie❤️ I run on my own set schedule working from home as a silver smith, I occasionally have markets I go to, but I’m mostly free most the week if I’m not out adventuring! My home has a nice grassy area in the front and backyard, plenty of shade and fun places to play. I have a fence, but there are some openings and walkways in it so I’m willing to let dogs out on a leash if needed. If I’m able, I love to take dogs with me on walks, to the beach, and give them a fun time. I live with my boyfriend whom also loves dogs. Occasionally I will kennel the dog for small increments of time if I need to go out and do something that doesn’t allow dogs, but I prefer to be with them as much as possible.

About: I have trained my two Australian Shepherds to complete nationally in AKC agility. My dog Maggie has been ranked as the number one freshman all American dog in the Winter 2023 agility season. I also have experience with puppies and toy breeds. I have a chihuahua. My family raises AQUA quarter horses, and I have years of farm and ranch experience. I have raised many orphaned kittens and I understand cats. Pet care is my priority. I wake up in the morning interacting with animals and I continue to provide for both cats and dogs throughout the day. I usually feed after the dogs relieve themselves and then I will also feed cats. I then check water dishes and clean up any messes or cat litter. Then I interact with the pets and check their well-being. In the client’s home I follow all of their rules and take photos of their pets. I own my home. I have a fenced yard, and crates.

Kristen P.
“Hi, my name is Chhaya and I am a double doodle with double the fluff and double the feelings. Whenever my people leave, I get a little sad (cue the soulful doodle eyes). But then — enter my next favorite human, Kristen! She's basically my emotional support human. Sensitive Stomach Specialist: I have a special diet and allergies, and Kristen never misses a detail - just the right food at the right time. My belly stays happy, and so do my people. Play + Adventure Buddy: Kristen knows how to match my energy — whether it’s running around the yard, chasing a stick, or on a sniffventure. She understands when I need to move and when I need to be lazy & snuggly. Swimming Sidekick: Sure, lots of sitters in Hawai‘i will hit the beach, but Kristen makes it fun. We’re basically teammates in the doggie-paddle Olympics. If you want someone reliable, caring, and completely dog-savvy, Kristen’s your person. She’s fun, she’s trustworthy, and she makes sure a doodle like me feels safe, loved, and perfectly cared for. Paws down, would recommend. 🐾 This review is endorsed by my humans - Gretchen & Bobby, they tell me that even though they miss me SO much, they feel safe and at ease when they travel knowing I am with Kristen. — Chhaya the Double Doodle”

Shasta F.
“Shasta looked after our 3 dogs and one cat for an 11 day period in summer 2024. When we came home all the pets were remarkably calm, happy and healthy. It was clear that she took a great deal of care, and spent significant time, with them. I have known Shasta for several years. Shasta has several cats and dogs of her own, with a wide range of abilities and needs. She is a kind and thoughtful person, with broad knowledge and understanding of animal behavior.”
