1. Cathy M.

“Cathy was amazing! I was very nervous about leaving my babies and my house for an extensive period over the holidays, but Cathy did everything that she could to reduce my anxiety and make sure that the babies were happy. We talked daily and she sent pictures - this as well as interacting with them through the Furbo made me feel connected even thousands of miles away. By day two, I was not nervous any more and was confident that the babies were having a great time with their “grandma”. On Christmas, Cathy worked with my schedule so that I could see the babies “open” their stockings. Cathy even used some home remedies to address a few minor issues that they had been having (skin irritation etc) and went above and beyond in every way - the house was even cleaner when I can home than when I left. The babies are missing Cathy and we all look forward to the next time that we can share our home with her. She is beyond amazing!”

10. Shelby & Jesse K.

“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!”

12. Olivia A.
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.


13. Jordan S.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my extensive hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and my ability to provide specialized care. I have a 10-year-old dog that I personally trained and continue to care for through his senior years, managing complications from old age and two ACL tears With dedicated rehab and treatment. In addition to this, I rescued two kittens when they were only two days old, bottle feeding them for months after losing their mother. I’ve also worked on a horse ranch where I trained and rescued horses, and took care of a range of animals, including pigs, goats, cattle, chickens, and more. My experience with hunting dogs and my background in animal rehab rehabilitation further sets me apart, as I understand, the unique needs for each animal, and I’m committed to providing the best care possible. Whether it’s specialized training, senior care, or helping with recovery from injury, I bring compassion, expertise, and a deep love for animals to every sitting experience. I’m currently a student athlete at UH Hilo with most of my weekday availability after 11am and I have a lot of availability on the weekends. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize respect and attention to detail. I always ensure your properties is treated with almost care, keeping everything clean and organized. I follow any specific instructions you provide, whether it’s maintaining routines, administering medications, or adhering to house rules. Your pets, comfort and well-being on my top priorities, and I make sure to create a safe, calm environment for them while respecting your space and preferences. You can count on me to follow through with whatever is requested to ensure both you and your pet are happy and at ease.


14. Cimmaron C.
“Cimmaron is a true animal lover. My Senior Pup absolutely loves him because he knows how to be mindful and gentle with her. I've had her for 13 years now and there are very few people I trust to ensure her safety and best care. Cimmaron is absolutely one of those few people and for good reason.”


15. Brooke C.
About: I’ve been an animal person since childhood. I find ways to understand and connect with all animals I encounter, as they fill my life with so much joy. I’m currently a student at Northeastern, with a very open afternoon and morning schedule. Most of my classes are midday and only for a couple hours. I have weekends free and am eager to work. I am more than happy to care for your pets needs whatever they may be. I am extremely respectful of one’s space and will ensure your home and pet are protected and cared for.


16. Zander C.
“Zander is amazing with animals! My dog loved him immediately. He knows all the best places to walk a dog in and around Hilo. I would trust Zander with all my fur babies for overnight care, walks, or special needs. He’s great with communication and you’ll know your little one is loved and cared for.”


17. Leah F.
“I'd say Leah is amazing with animals. I had her watch mine not too long ago and recommended her to download this app. She's loving, caring, playful and nurturing. She will treat your babies like family.”


18. Kristina C.

“She was an excellent caregiver for our fluffs. Highly recommended to anyone that wants to have her as a caregiver for their fur babies.”


19. Aileenmarie A.
“She is the best! She treats your dog like her own! She also sends updates via text with photos showing all the fun they are having. She watched my baby Zena for about a week and the entire time I did not worry one bit about Zena because I knew she was in good hands. You will not regret leaving your dog with Aileen! She is the only person I trust to watch my baby!!”


20. Taryn G.
About: I have taken care of animals ever since I can remember. I grew up on a farm where we had cattle, pigs, dogs, and cats. Not only did I care of my animals on a day-to-day basis, I would also petsit for family friends. This included staying at their home, feeding and watering the animals, letting them out to go potty, bathing them, and giving them lots of love while their owners were away. I have a dog back home, and she is a 3 year old terrier and poodle mix. I am currently in college, but I still have plenty of free time to care for your pets! I have a car, so I'm able to leave whenever and arrive quickly at my destination. Some of my classes are online, so I am able to be in different places when I am in class. I listen to my client's wants and needs and I follow accordingly. With every animal, I will give him/her lots of love and attention. I will treat every animal as if it were my own🤍
