Availability
I spent my 20’s in Oregon working on organic farms, apiaries, goat dairies and wineries for crush harvest. I’ve been a homesteader and became known in my community as the local farm sitter! Into my late 20’s, I went to college to study Occupational Therapy. For the last 7 years, I provided rehabilitation therapy to my patients in the acute setting in the largest hospital system in Oregon. Now on Hawai’i, I knew it was time to combine my extensive experience in both fields, providing tailored services to meet my clients individualized needs. I work independently providing personal training, wellness coaching, and farm/pet care on a flexible schedule. I love exploring the island and care-taking your little corner of the world while you’re away, and helping you improve and meet your health and wellness goals while you’re here! Do inquire if you are interested in the 1:1 services I provide beyond what I can offer on Rover.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trusting your pet in someone else’s care is of the utmost importance! Let’s start with a quick phone call and Meet n Greet so I can learn about your pets special and unique needs, and you can get to know me better too.
Information Callista G. would like to know about your pet
We will discuss any peculiarities around feeding, being on a leash and what you may be working on with your pet. I have worked with many behavioral animals and meet your pet where they are at in their training. I am keen to their signals and know when to come in closer, or provide space. We will discuss any triggers for your animal and strategies for calming and comforting as many animals experience some amount of stress when their owners are away. I am familiar administering medications whether it’s oral, subcutaneous injections, or insulin. I want to know all the details to ensure your pet is receiving optimal care while you’re away.
A typical day
Many of my clients love my Doggy Date option, where I can bring your dog to the beach, a hiking trail, or the park. During our time together, I will meet your pets needs should they enjoy enrichment games, belly rubs, reviewing basic training and tricks with reward treats, fetch and tug o war!

She’s the best, so glad I hired her
Callista is just great with Max! He has some quirks and she really listened to our instructions and worked to get his needs met. Great communication, arrived on time and sent photos of their walks together. We so appreciate her help…makes it easier to go away when we are confident in who is watching our pet.
Callista is awesome!
Callista has stayed with our dog three times She is exactly what you want in a house/dog sitter. She communicates well and in a timely manner. She loves dogs! She is neat and cleans up after herself and follows instructions! 😃
