Aloha for your pets

Pet care experience

I am new to Volcano/Fern Forest area! My husband and I just moved from WA. I'm a former healthcare worker transitioning into a different role of care. I am a huge animal lover and have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life with a specialty in senior dog care. We lost both of our senior dogs (one at 13, & one at 14 wonderful years) within a year of each other two years ago. Molly, our Border Collie was diagnosed with a blood disorder at age 8 which brought a lot of hospital visits, special needs, patience, and medication schedules. I have a special place in my heart for senior care. I have experience with rescues, senior animals, small dogs, timid dogs, and dogs that require a lot of exercise. Comfortable with all sizes and breeds, from Chihuahua's to German Short Hair Pointers to Cane Corsos, and all mixed breeds. From dog walking, overnight sitting, feeding, medication administration; all led with love, trust and reliability. My husband and are I building a hobby farm and homestead and I would love to have the opportunity to care for any and all animals. Mahalo Nui for your consideration ~Lipine

For many years living in Seattle prior to her big move back to Hawaii, I've had the pleasure of knowing Lipine, a person whose love for animals knows no bounds. Her dedication and affection towards pets are truly commendable. Lipine's journey with her beloved Molly for 14 years stands as a testament to her unwavering commitment and deep bond with animals. Beyond her own pets, Lipine's generosity and kindness extend to others' furry friends. She has been a guardian angel to my pets, Pizza and Meatloaf, caring for them with as much love and attention as if they were her own. Her ability to connect with animals, understanding their needs and ensuring their well-being, is extraordinary. Choosing Lipine as a caregiver for your pets means entrusting them to someone who will treat them with utmost love, respect, and professionalism. She doesn't just look after animals; she cherishes them, making her an exemplary choice for anyone seeking a responsible and loving pet caregiver.

Lipine took amazing care of my dog. He is a German short hair breed which have high energy and need lots of attention. Lipine took him on hikes daily, with lots of exercise. She provided photos and updates regularly. She cared for my dog like her own and I highly recommend Lipine for taking care of your furry friends.

Lipine is a wonderful caretaker. We've entrusted her care for our elderly dog who is also a tripod (missing his front right leg) and more recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. She has watched him overnight many times with heavy medication and supplement schedules to follow and she's never let us down. She is extremely patient with Loki. He requires a lot of special attention and assistance with walking and stairs. She is able to lift him up if needed and is understanding when he needs the extra help. Because of his prostate cancer he has to go out more frequently and she is always paying attention to Loki's que's. Loki is super comfortable and at ease around Lipine which is always our priority. She would be a wonderful pet sitter for anyone's fur baby.
