About: I’ve dog walked and dog sat for over a year and on and off for about 5 years. I’ve always loved being around animals, I grew up in a dog family and have always enjoyed walking dogs playing with them or sitting on the couch and snuggling with dogs. They’re truly happiness and every dog I’ve ever met has always put a smile on my face. As of right now I currently work part time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. Do any days of the week work I’m a trustworthy and reliable person and will prioritize spending time with your animals making sure they’re happy and safe. I can only stay at a clients house as I can’t bring any pets to my place as I’m renting.

“Spencer and his partner Ruby did an amazing job with our corgi Theo! If we could give them 10 stars out of 5 for the care they gave our doggo, we would! They are very friendly and enthusiastic, Theo loved them immediately. They kept Theo safe and happy, we even had neighbors tell us how well cared for our boy was while we were on our trip. We got daily updates and pictures, which we super appreciated.”

“Izchel was amazing! It was my first time using a dog/house sitter. She took great care of my 3 standard poodles. She stayed at my house with them & everything was neat & tidy & my dogs were calm & relaxed when I got home. She kept me updated while I was away & asked questions if she needed clarification. She went above & beyond, I will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve cared for animals and pet sitting since I was very young! I have farming experience, and I love helping animals feel at peace when their owner is gone. I’ve even dealt with and more complex situations in caring for animals with medical needs. I also have a passion for chickens so if they need care while your gone I’m a great fit! I’m free on the weekends, and work remotely throughout the week, which would leave me plenty of time to play and care for your special pet! I am happy to care for your animal in their home including walks and keep care of basic house sitting needs while you are away! I love to play with pets and snuggle them if they’ll let me!

“Catherine was everything we could have asked for in a puppy sitter. She spent lots of time with our little guy and gave me plenty of updates along the way.”

“Angela is amazing, compassionate, gentle, caring, nurturing with my family member (pet). I rarely leave my dog so was very stressed out about doing so. We had a pet meet and greet first and I knew I had found the right person. She came inside and immediately sat on the floor to meet my little dog. Angela sent me photos and videos and when I returned, my dog was quite happy to be around her. This showed me, we made the right decision. End your anxiety and stress, use Angela. Highly recommend.”

“Absolutely fabulous! Ashley kept us up to date with messages and photos, our dog was happy and having him well taken care of put us at ease. We feel so lucky to have found Ashley!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve personally cared for dogs, cats, and small animals throughout my life, and my experience extends well beyond pet ownership. I hold a degree in biology with coursework focused on animal behavior, physiology, and research. This background helps me better understand animal body language, behavior, and individual needs. I’ve worked with a wide variety of species, including exotic hoofstock and birds in a zoological setting, as well as pigs, goats, and birds through wildlife rescue and animal care work. In addition, I spent approximately three years working in an animal shelter environment, where I handled and photographed thousands of dogs to help them find loving homes. Through that experience, I learned how to safely interact with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, a senior, or requires a little extra patience, I strive to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual personality and routine. I’m a small business owner and public school teacher, which gives me a structured but flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I currently have more availability during weekends, school holidays, and breaks (especially during the summer months), when I can offer extended and consistent care for pets and house sitting. During the school year on regular weekdays, I’m typically available in the mornings and evenings, with greater flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific dates and needs to see what works best for your pet’s routine. I care deeply about consistency and communication, so pets feel settled, safe, and well cared for, and owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine in the environment where they feel most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines are completed on time and as directed. I treat every home with a high level of respect and care, keeping spaces clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. I’m mindful of both the pet’s needs and the owner’s home, and I prioritize reliability, safety, and consistency in every visit or stay. I also believe clear communication is essential, so I provide updates as needed to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

“Chelsea is great! Animals were instantly in love with her. She’s very kind and loving to my high maintenance pups. Chelsea sent pics and was good about communicating with me. And the house was clean when we got home. So thankful we chose Chelsea !! I didn’t worry at all.”

“Amy was available at the last minute. She was able to work around her schedule to accommodate my request. She did a great job! My cat warmed up to her, which is no easy feat. I would use her again.”

Mary O.

“Samantha was great with our pup. Took her to the park multiple times to run around, gave us regular updates, and left the house as clean as we left it. Will definitely use her again.”

I also have experience with farm animals (horses, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys) I have administered medications to animals as well - I love to spend as much quality time as I can like going on long walks, riding to the beach together, and cozily working from home together so that they can feel loved and cared for while you are away🌺 I work full time online as a women’s coach and can work from anywhere - I can work my schedule around any needs or any special requests that you have for them - I want to keep them as comfortable as possible and staying close to their daily routines I take care of animals typically in the client’s home, always respecting your home and leaving it cleaner than I found it 🪷 I have also done other work around the house such as taking care of clients’ airbnbs, plant care, and am happy to take care of your garden or do any extra chores/tasks

About: I'm a friendly 32 year old animal lover. My husband and I spent years fostering cats, and now have a kitty of our own (we found her in a tree when we moved to the island a year ago). I grew up with dogs, and frequently care for my brother's dog (she's a classic island dog - mid-sized, mixed breed). I'm especially excited to take your pets on walks - even cats if they're up for it! I like jungle hikes and beach walks of all sorts. Of course for older dogs, I’m always on board for some relaxed cuddle time too. I also have several years of nanny experience, babysitting and house sitting. Happy to take care of other types of pets, or your children too (find me on Care)! I have another gig Monday-Thursday, 6am-2pm. Otherwise free! hit me up earlier for weekends, as I tend to make plans ahead of time. You'll find me caring for my kitty all hours of the day and often caring for my brother's dog (we all live on the same property). Giving them lots of love! I'd love to cuddle with your pets, but I also know how to take care of those that can be nervous or shy (I have a ton of experience with that from fostering). I also have lots of experience giving meds to pets. I'll certainly give them the best care possible.

About: I have over 10 years experience taking care of pets! From dogsitting, dog transport, and working at a doggy daycare I have been well trained by dogs of all sizes, breeeds and behaviors. I love all animals, but especially dogs. Your dog will be loved, closely watched and well taken care of. Please let me know if you have any special requests so that I can accommodate and plan accordingly. I am a yoga teacher and I work and live in Waimea but I am able to travel from Kona to Kohala. I am home most of the time when I am not at the beach or doing yoga so Rover is a great option for me! Done hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have. Mahalo Nui Loa! I am very much a homebody and have scheduled my day to be able to be available for morning, afternoon and evening walks and pet visits. I am extremely passionate and loving to all animals regardless of behavior, size, breed or age. This job brings me so much joy and I truly love to connect with and care for animals as if they were my own.
