House Sitting in Kurtistown

“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! 💕”

“Kristen was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs and two cats. She communicated throughout her stay and shared cute photos. We returned home to a few happy critters! Would highly recommend her!”

“Cathy went above and beyond with our pets and house while we were gone for the holidays and we can’t thank her enough! She was great with communication, is familiar with the island and great with animals. I don’t think I’ve ever returned from a trip to find our pets so relaxed and well cared for :) thanks Cathy!!”

“Andie cared for my home and 2 cats while I was away. She sent an update within first 24 hours & left my house cleaner than I left it. She responded quickly to questions & did not hesitate when I asked if she could stay an additiona day. Thank you Andie!”

“Best pet sitters I've found on the island! They LOVE dogs, which is really the most important thing. And they're very friendly and easy to work with. Plus, they have a ton of experience pet-sitting, so they aren't easily ruffled. Definitely consider Jody when you're looking for a pet sitter on the Big Island!”

About: I've spent most of my life surrounded by animals, mostly dogs and cats and occasionally some fish in a tank. I am good at following directions for care given to me or written down and am fine to spend a day alone save for a menagerie of animals. Currently, I am taking a gap year from school to work on my art and writing, this means that I have plenty of time available to run around and play with your pets and take care of your plants I am good at following directions for care given to me or written down and am fine to spend a day alone save for a menagerie of animals.

“Daisy is a reliable, thoughtful and caring petsitter. She listened very well to our needs for our dog and outdoor cats. She went above and beyond our expectations, taking our dog out for more than just walks but fun car rides and adventures. She even asked if we had a seatbelt for him, and when we didn't have it at the house for her, she went and bought one "to have for next time." We really appreciate how Daisy is proactive in her job, she isn't afraid to ask questions about anything our dog may need. She communicated throughout her stay and sent photos which always made us feel reassured. Through our talks with Daisy, we learned what an animal lover she is. My husband and I highly recommend Daisy for petsitting any animal, and for housesitting. We will definitely call on her again!”

“We had to rush out for a 3-day weekend and Kelsey was great at communicating and staying in touch with us so that our pets were safe and fed.”

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.

“Cody was wonderful with my sweet dog, Terra, and feral cat, Buddy! Her kind gentleness was very harmonious with my timid Terra. And she left my home in great condition. Thank you Cody for taking such good care!”

“Angel was great with my pup and took great care of the house while I was out of town. She sends updates everyday and did an amazing job even cleaning.”

“Bob was exceptional with communication from start to finish! He had all the right questions to ask to make things go as smoothly as possible and have the best care for Pearl. She is intimidated when she first meets men but he knew just what to do and knew to ask the right questions to ask in order for me to convey this to him. They left the place cleaner than they found it and I appreciated that! I heard positive comments from neighbors about how well she was taken care of so I will definitely be calling on Bob again.”

Carolyn S.

“Katalin was fabulous with our dogs. She asked a lot of questions and really got to know them before we left. Our dogs were well taken care of and we would hire her again without hesitation. Great job!”

Lance T.

“Kai made our stay away a lot less stressful. He sent some awesome pics of our dog getting hugged and spoiled...just what we hoped for! Looking forward to having Kai stay again in the future!!”

Donna S.

“Dani was absolutely amazing! Our usual sitter wasn’t available, I was extremely nervous and she was so sweet communicating thoroughly the entire time. So grateful she was available during the holidays and still able to enjoy her holidays! Cannot wait to utilize her expertise again! Thanks girl! ☺️”

About: I lived on a dairy farm growing up and love all animals. I can service the Hilo and surrounding area, just reach out and let me know how I can help. I currently live in the Kurtistown and Kailua-Kona area and open to help with any kind of pet, not just dogs and cats. I wanted to offer services to all pet lovers, including fish and feathered babies, such as chickens as I know how to help with common issues such as sour crop, egg bounding, etc. I want to offer both, depending on where and the situation. Please let me know what your needs are. I am here to help :)

“Aly was amazing!! One of our dog was injured needed some extra care and Aly was wonderful in providing that care. She was also great about communication and texting us updates. Not only do I plan on using Aly again, I’ve also been recommending her to my friends.”
