Flexible and responsible pet care!

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Arwen! I worked for over 7 years in animal rescue and helped run a cat sanctuary, fostering dozens of animals and learning about animal behavior and proper medical procedure. I moved to Hawaii in 2016 and missed meeting new animals and giving them the comfort and care they deserve. I've been a pet and house-sitter in Puna for six years now and love all of my clients and their pets. I live in Papaikou with my cat and make art - which gives me plenty of time for pet-sitting. I make sure to budget my time so my clients can rely on me to be there even for a walk. You can text or call me if you need anything! I understand that pets have different personalities and quirks that should be respected as much as their routine and needs. You tell me what kind of care your pets need and I follow your instructions to the letter! I would want my pet-sitter to take the time to care for my pets and home the same as I would, and it's my mission to treat your pets the same way.

Arwen is great. She took very good care of our dog Molly. Also took good care of our home. I highly recommend her and will use her again when we go out of town

Arwen is great. Always keeping us updated on how things are going and has taken great care of our two pups. Would recommend and have already rescheduled with her for other times we're away.

Arwen is always so amazing at taking care of my Bull Terrier. He ADORES her and Arwen pampers and adores him back. And she gives lots of love and attention and great belly rubs. Arwen is 100% trustworthy and reliable. She sends pictures and keep me updated throughout her visit. I never worry or doubt that my boy, and home, are being well taken care of any time I'm away. You don't need to think twice about calling Arwen, you'll be grateful that you did. And most importantly, so will your fur baby.

A typical day

Pet-Sitting Services: I want to keep your pets happy and healthy. If you'll be away from home longer than your pooch can hold it I can come by to let them out and stretch their legs, or I can stay nights with them and keep your home monitored I'd you need to travel. I will keep your pets routine - I'm happy to learn individualized instructions for your pets and keep to their schedule to reduce stress. I have reliable transportation, so if pets starts to feel under the weather I can take them to the veterinarian if you decide. I will never take your pet off of your property without permission, or let anyone else on your property without your knowledge and consent. I can provide multiple ways to keep in touch (email/phone/text) and encourage you to check in with me anytime. I can also just send you updates and pictures as often as instructed. (I cannot at this time provide kenneling or daycare services.) Pet Care Service Includes Feed and water your pets according to your instructions.  Walk, play, or just give love to pets. Clean pet areas just as you like them. Keep grooming and/or training regimes.  Make sure medications (fluids, injections, or drops) are administered. Take your pet to the vet at any time you want. Responsibly keep your home cared for and secure. House-Sitting Services I can spend nights in your home to protect your property or care for a pet that needs frequent/overnight attention. I'll pick up mail & packages, water plants and keep your home in the same condition you left it. Having someone home at night is the best way to prevent trespassers. If you have pets that need twice a day care or livestock this is a the best option for proper care.  House-Sitting Service Includes: Care for your pets and plants and home per your instructions. Provide my own bed and bedding/bath linens. Only the areas I need will be touched. Update you on any home issues that should arise. Adhere to your security protocols to keep your home as safe as you do. Thoroughly clean used areas before leave.
