“Amanda is awesome! Always very thoughtful and thorough with her care of my dog. Definitely recommend her for any of your pet needs!!”


About: I have been caring for animals since I was about 10 years old and have worked in a boarding facility caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, temperaments,and health concerns. I am comfortable, experienced & patient with senior dogs and see them as my elder too. There's so much we can learn from our senior fur-baby companions. I love to help puppies explore their environment and build confidence in their own life experience through positive reinforcement training and LOTS of love. 🩷 I am also a musician, and every time my Gretel would be anxious, I would play and she would calm down and relax. I have seen this happen with many other dogs as well. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I would take my dog outside nearly anytime she asked. We'd go on walks or just sit on the hill, soak up the sun, and people-watch. I will care for your fur-baby as though they were my own and will accommodate any requests within reason to ensure your pet(s) are safe, trust me and have a safe and fun environment. I love to take photos too, so I'll send all the updates & photos to ease your mind that your fur-baby is in excellent care (at your request of course).

“Michael did great with my girls. They had a nice walk and he even sent pictures. Would happily recommend him”


About: Aloha! 🌺 I’m Callista and here to provide your pets, home and farm with exceptional care and attention while you are away.

About: My love for animals began in childhood in Puerto Rico—caring for my grandma’s chickens, bottle-feeding kittens, and cuddling with my first dog, Coby, a gentle Boxer. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of exotic animals including frogs, bunnies, hamsters, and birds. I have a natural bond with animals. My family adopted four Yorkshire Terriers and I was deeply involved in their daily care—feeding, walking, bathing, and playtime. I’ve also helped raise a litter of puppies. I also walked dogs through Wag! where I consistently earned 5-star reviews. I love spending time outdoors—walking, hiking, swimming, or biking—but I’m just as happy to relax and cuddle up with a furry friend. I’m flexible and available for house sitting, walks or drop-ins on weekdays and weekends. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’m here to make the experience smooth and worry-free. I’ll gladly follow your pet’s routine and keep you updated with texts and photos during our time together. Let me know if there are any preferences or special instructions—I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and at home. I work in the morning- part time. I am flexible and can create a schedule that works for all of us. Let’s talk about it! I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every environment. Whether in my home or yours, I follow your pet’s routine closely, keep spaces secure, and provide plenty of care, attention, and updates. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and at home.

“Kayli was great! Communicated well and was wash’s on time…im so grateful she was willing to go the extra mile with my very energetic dog! Highly recommend”


“She walked our dog to help after a surgery and our little guy bonded to her right away. Such a great friend for our little friend. Thank you!”



About: Hi I'm Natalie. I'm originally from Ohio, went to school in St. Louis and was in Arizona for 4 years. I moved to New York in 2017. I work full-time from home Monday-Friday as an account executive for a company called Scentair. I love dogs and cats, I've had dogs most of my life. They are a lot of work but definitely worth it. I would be happy to watch your pup when you need a hand. There are the piers/multiple parks right around the corner from me where we can walk around. Dogs and cats are welcome big or small. If you feel more comfortable I can also dog sit wherever you’re located or drop by to take your pup out for a walk. Let me know if you’re interested and I’d be happy to meet you and your pet. I do currently work remote so they can get some extra belly rubs and attention during the day. I do go on runs in the morning where they are more than welcome to join. I have a fenced in backyard area where your fur baby is welcome to get some extra time outside if needed. I can also crate them if that helps with their sleep schedules etc.

One important thing for you to know- I have a 28 month old daughter and she is obsessed with all pets. My ohana is tiny, so I can’t take any doggy over 20 pounds I’m rather flexible . Working part time and studying, but I can find time to watch your furry baby. Just need to know a few days before to adjust my schedule My yard is not fenced, it can be a problem. But I can spend time with your little one inside my ohana. One detail- our neighbourhood has a lot of abandoned cats

“Ashley is reliable and kind. My dog ipo immediately loved her.”


“Angela has been awesome with my dog and she is very flexible with her schedule. Would highly recommend!”


About: Over the years I have owned and cared for various breeds of dogs which has thus created skills that I utilize during my car of your pet. My number one principal is to create a peaceful, loving environment for your animal while under my care. I am a very flexible sitter and I’m willing to accommodate to any requests you may have. Thank you for your consideration. All of my work is based out of my home office. I spend a lot of one on one time with my clients pets which I believe brings a much better experience for both me and your pet. Boarding services are my favorite services because I get to spend more one on one time with the animals. Doggy Daycare is my home daycare service, taking the clients out for most of the day, playing and relaxing instead of waiting alone for their owners to return home for the day. Drop Ins and Walks are services provided at the clients residence. I want all of my clients to feel loved and safe while in my care and I would like their owners to know they are in good hands.

About: Hi there! I’m a proud military veteran with a deep love for dogs and years of hands on experience. I personally trained my own service animal, which taught me patience, consistency, and how to truly understand a dog’s needs. Whether it’s a high energy pup or a senior dog needing gentle care, I’m confident and compassionate with all kinds of dogs. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Your furry family member will be in safe, loving, and reliable hands with me! As a dive instructor, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week with enough notice. I treat every home with respect and make sure pets stay comfortable by sticking to their usual routines. I follow all care instructions closely and keep things clean, calm, and safe. You’ll always get updates and photos, so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi my name is Madison and I have recently moved to Kona from Honolulu while attending PA school. Previously, I was a Veterinary Technician for 7 years, and have extensive experience with canine handling and training. I can also administer oral medications, injectible medications, insulin, as well as medical therapy, care for geriatric dogs and can assist with physical therapy. I have worked at veterinary clinics ranging from spay/ neuter clincs, farm animal, and emergency and critical care. I love playing with everyone's fur babies and wish I could have them all! I enjoy long walks, especially through the rapids with my golden retriever and running around the park wearing him out! My love for all animals makes me an experienced and dedicated Rover for your own babies whenever you need it! My schedule is currently very flexible, I am generally free throughout the day for walking and letting pets out for bathroom breaks. I am in class from 8-3 other days and can manage your pets schedule accordingly then. All pets cared for in the clients home safely stay within the clients home. No other pets or people are brought over, and they are always on a leash whenever outside in an unfenced area.

About: I’m a young active female who would love to spend more of my free time caring for other loving, furry souls. I specialize in long, disciplined walks as well as frolicking freely wherever the wind takes me. I was a collegiate athlete and studied communications, both which have prepared me with the skills to work interpersonally with my clients and approach adversity in a calm and collected manner. I am well fit for any and all of the exercise needs your dogs (or cats) may have. My experience caring for young children in the comfort of their own home has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to understand what it means to be a guest in the home of my client I’m working for, and preform accordingly. I believe this experience can translate directly into the necessary care needed for in-house dog sitting, and will provide a stress-free environment appreciated by all.

“Jennifer is fantastic! She goes above and beyond and takes my pup to the beach when I work long shifts. She even hoses her down each time after. Frankie always comes home happy and exhausted. I feel like my pup is in good hands with Jennifer!”


About: I grew up caring for cats and dogs. I have an innate understanding of the behavior and needs of animals. I truly enjoy caring for animals; almost as much as they enjoy me : giving them all the attention they need, walks, hikes, and/or trail runs. I'm an elementary teacher and available after 3:00 during the weekdays I am available for over night stays any night of the week and free on weekends. I can care for your pet at your home, since I do not have a fenced in yard. I will follow the schedule and instructions for your animals.

“Toni is great. Selmer is happy. She always keeps me updated.”


About: I am an active, dog-lover that would be so excited to get to know your sweet pup! I am newer to this area so I love taking dogs for walks and going out and exploring the neighborhoods (and dog parks!) around me. They will get endless amount of love and attention in this household! I currently work remotely, so I am able to stay home for most of the day with your furry friend. Please reach out and let me know if you are in need of a dog-loving sitter! I work from home Monday-Friday and have a 5-1pm schedule. Within that timeframe, my work is pretty flexible so I will often play with the pups on breaks/lunches. I go on walks every evening between 1-4pm, usually 3+ miles. I am not able to offer stays at my own home at this time, but would love to help out and house sit or come stop by to take your sweet pup for a walk! I like to understand each individual dogs needs, so please don’t hesitate to let me know if there are any specific requests for activities/enrichment for your dog.

2. Amanda M.
“Amanda impressed me from the very first time I saw her with her dog Gretel. We we're not friends yet, so I had opportunity to observe how loving, patiently and caring she was with her elder dog. Gretel could not walk far, but Amanda would make sure Gretel got out every day and would sit with Gretel for however long Gretel wanted to be outside. Watching Amanda's dedication and love for her dog is what seeded our friendship. Amanda is a most honorable and trustworthy individual .... I trust her w/ my dog and that says it all.”

She always sent me updates everyday on how they were doing and if she had any questions she would contact me. I've never trusted anyone with my dogs since their like my babies, but Jackie made me feel comfortable and now she is on speed dial. Both of my dogs adore her and can't wait till she returns again.

“Sam was a life savor when my husband and I realized we could not take our Frenchie, Stella, home for the holidays. We were leaving for 10 days and very nervous about finding the right care for such a long period of time. Sam was the perfect fit! She was very accommodating with our travel schedule and also checked in daily with an adorable pic to assure us Stella was doing well. Typically when we get home after a trip Stella can seem a little distsraight but when we returned she seemed so happy and content; and even had a new toy that Sam had given her. We hope that Sam is available for all of our future trips and trust you will feel the same.”
