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!!

EXCELLENT SITTER! Jody was incredibly professional. She sent regular photo updates of my dog, Nohi, enjoying himself and looking so happy with her. She did an excellent job caring for my dog and went above and beyond the call of duty. I would highly recommend her and I will DEFINITELY be hiring her again next time I travel! Mahalo JoJo!!

Bob was a fantastic housesitter / dogsitter for our extremely dependent dog, Lester. Lester can't be left alone for more than a few minutes and Bob kept Lester by his side for ten days straight. Lester developed such a strong bond with Bob in that short time it almost made me jealous. Bob communicated actively with daily photos and updates and he took amazing care of the house, even doing some yard maintenance for fun. We could not be happier with Bob's help, we would use him again without hesitation, and we recommend him highly for even the most challenging dogs. He is a natural.

Christopher was professional, respectful, and took great care of our dog! He kept us updated while we were away, which gave us piece of mind since we haven't left our dog since we got him. We appreciated Christopher's communication with us and will use him in the future. Thank you!

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: I have taken care of dogs and cats every since I can remember. I have experience training puppies, raising kind pit bulls and taken care of elderly animals gently and compassionately with lots of love. I am currently starting up my yoga business. Classes are 3 days a week. Most days I am home gardening or at the beach. I have more then enough time to share with a fur baby or 4!!! I have a 1/4 acre with plenty of room for animals to enjoy. I just added in a fenced in area to my side yard. Perfect for allowing pups to run off leash. I can walk the dogs around the yard and the neighborhood. They would be treated like family. My home is my sanctuary. My home very peaceful, quiet and serene. I love to play with animals

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.

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!!

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🤍

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.

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.

About: Hey guys, I have two dogs now and I've taken care of cats, dogs and birds since I was a kid. I love getting exercise with my dogs. I know how hard it is to find a good sitter (I am occasionally looking), so let me help you. If our schedules work out I am happy to help out! I work from home, so I am always around to help, talk to and keep company your loved pets. They will be cared for and in the company of my other frenchie's. I have a fenced yard. Within the fence we also have another fenced area in case one of the pets needs to be separated. It's a nice space because it's warm, with lots of toys and covered. We live on an acre, so taking walks is a plus! We allow the pets to sleep inside and we have lots of comfy beds.
