“Izshel did an amazing job. I contacted them for a very last-minute dog walk, and they were able to help me out. They have very clear communication which I really appreciated. I would recommend to others!”

About: When I was growing up I would work at my neighbors farm and help with all the animals. She had dogs, cats, horses, goats,chicken, any animal you can think of I've probably been around. Yes even birds lol I currently work part time, Wednesday afternoons, Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays. Other than my job I will definitely be present with all your furr babies🐶🐱 I have a fenced in yard. I plan to buy more toys and treats once this wonderful opportunity takes off. I'll make sure they're well taken care of and given the most attention at all times.

“My dog loves Cody. She is always excited to go on their special walks. I feel completely confident with leaving my dog with Cody.”

About: I have loved animals since childhood when I had hamsters and a rabbit. When I started college, I adopted 2 cats. After getting married, we started to foster cats and dogs and we adopted 2 dogs. I started to pet sit professionally in 2022. Animals are so special, healing in the best way, and the most loyal pals you could ever hope for. I enjoy getting to know each of their unique personalities. I work full time M-F in town. My availability is open during weekends Friday through Sunday nights and federal holidays. I enjoy pet sitting in my spare time! I will check in and understand any habits in place and do my best to adhere to them, i.e. feeding times, potty breaks, playtime, etc. I will take notes to ensure your pet can feel comforted as much as possible by their preferences while their caregivers are away.

About: Aloha! I'm a very friendly person and because of that many animals trust me. I have worked with skittish elderly dogs who didn't trust anyone but needed their medication and food, as well as other dogs who were difficult to handle for most. When I had my dog I was one of the only people who could give him a bath, I sang to him and made it a not so scary or painful ordeal (he had spinal issues and certain spots were really painful). I may have some scheduling conflicts as I'm currently going to school online and working full time. I am more than willing to work with anyone on scheduling to meet the needs of my clients as well as the needs of my work. My pets are my comfort after a long day of work so the more the merrier! I will treat you and your animals with respect and will keep their schedule as close to yours as my schedule allows. I love and respect all animals, even the tough to love ones.

“Austin was great he was very prompt. My pooch had a great time. My fur baby is typically very skidish and at the end of the walk they were best buds. I will definitely be rebooking with Austin.”

About: I have taken care of dogs from a young age and have always loved animals. I grew up with fish and turtles as well! We have a Shih Tzu Maltese mix that is friendly to all fur babies and humans. I am very reliable, punctual, and have always followed through with everything that I do. Rest assured that your fur baby will be safe with me. I decided to follow my passion in life. With that, I took a leap of faith to do what I truly love, which is caring for animals on a full-time basis! Hours are from 6 am-6 pm for doggy day care. If you are late in picking up your dog, there will be an additional $15 charge added to your total. We have a house with a completely fenced in and gated yard so your fur babies can roam around freely! I vacuum and mop on the daily as well! We do have split a/c units in almost every room. In addition, we maintain our property with pesticides that are safe for dogs to prevent fleas, ticks, and heart worm. To ensure a safe environment, we expect that your dog is on flea, tick, and heart worm medicine and are up-to-date with all vaccines.

About: Aloha- Here, at our home, we have 3 dogs (listed in my profile). Also, a retired Lana'i School teacher (a regular pro-dog walker too!); and now 4 outdoor cats that have adopted us. They come and go as they please 🤷 I have decades caring for fur babies, both dogs & cats. Aside from my own babies, I was previously employed as a care provider at the Lana'i Animal Rescue Center on the island of Lana'i (previously L.A.R.C., now Lana'i Cat Sanctuary). Additionally, on Lana'i, I did in-home sitting for cats, dogs, and was one of only a handful of foster dog moms on the island. This was also in cooperation with L.A.R.C. In the 90s I was a grooming assistant, so I don't mind giving baths, if that is something you desire for your dog. We are also familiar with giving meds over here, and certainly don't mind working with specialized diets, ages & needs. As a mom, I know these are our kids with individual personalities and needs. I'm here to meet those needs with love, cuddles & kindness (and Play!). For Home Sitting & Boarding: Right now my hours are open, if that changes, I will immediately update. When I am hired to care for an animal, I do just that, so my schedule will revolve around the animal in my care. 1st priority always. I encourage you to make a list of things you might want me to know about your baby. I keep a comfortable & reliable routine so visiting dogs know what to expect and that they're safe. Walks can be a nice bonding activity: Most important is one-on-one attention & playtime. My own dogs are kept separate; in an entirely separate part of the house. My doggie guests have their own large, private room with its own entrance and an adjacent outdoor covered deck/lanai for lounging in the sun & watching neighborhood activities. Please feel free to ask me any questions, or make any special requests. Aloha & Mahalo. -Blair (& Carol) Note: I can do drop ins for cats, but not boardings. Sorry!

About: I have cared from dogs that need extensive exercise, like Dobermans, to dogs that need to be taken care of properly, such as English Bulldogs. I love animals and would like to assist you to know that your loved one is in good hands. I can follow any special instructions or even try to correct any problem behaviors your dog may have. I have helped owners with dogs that may have issues with aggression, trauma, or health issues. I live on a large property in Opihikao and I work from home. Your fur baby would be in good hands, living in paradise, and with full attention while you are away or need someone to care for your animal. I have one dog, a friendly Frenchie named Robin. She always welcomes new friends to her home even it’s for a few hours to a few weeks. Aloha 🤙🏼 I am currently a stay at home mom, so my time and attention will be given to your furbabies while they are in my care. I can accommodate any feeding schedule, I take them outside for frequent potty breaks if needed. My yard isn’t fenced, so I normally keep your furbaby on a leash when outside.

About: I am a very caring and loving person especially when it comes to animals. I raised my two golden retriever girls from their puppy age so I am quite experienced in providing what’s needed for new pups. I also understand how stressful it is for new pup parents wanting to make sure that their pup get taken care of when they are away. I’d love to provide help especially for new pup parent. I walk my two 50lbs+ goldens together everyday so I am totally capable of taking care of larger and/or energetic dogs. I am also very attentive to details and am willing to meet up and communicate any special needs before your booking and/or during my visit. I have a flexible working schedule during the week. I am open for bookings with advanced notice in the mornings, afternoons and early nights. I’m flexible for weekend and holiday appointments. I have two friendly golden retrievers and a small fenced dog run area. There are lots of grassy areas in my backyard and around my neighborhood.

About: I am a healthcare worker transitioning out of the medical field and into a different career and 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. Currently, I am finishing out a travel contract in Kona therefore limiting my availability until August so please check my schedule and I hope to be the right fit for you and your fur babies! Mahalo Nui for your consideration ~Lipine Due to current work commitments, I have limited availability until August. Please refer to my calender as I try to update it often to go with the times! We have 3 acres however no fenced in area, yet! Plans for the future! When it comes to your loved one/s, I treat your animals and your home as if they were mine! Responsible, trustworthy, clean, and loving (possibly slightly spoiled)!

“Kristen met with us and was prepared with a question sheet about the dogs and took notes. She was excited to meet them and communication was consistent, clear and direct for the whole week with the pups. We appreciated Kristen’s professionalism.”

About: Welcome! I'm Christopher Michael and I'm happy you stopped by to review my Rover profile. If you have any questions about rates or need me to accommodate a special request please don't hesitate to send a booking request over/inbox me with any question(s). As a pet owner myself in the past before being so busy housesitting, I know it is important to know your pets are treated as family and well cared for. Over more than a decade I've cared for different types of pets with differing energy levels. I'm quite comfortable nurturing an atmosphere that is both warm and peaceful as well as safe and secure for your loved ones while you're away. I enjoy all my furry friends smiling at me ready to enjoy the day and it is a bittersweet goodbye at the end of each booking. I love what I do, and miss the new friends I make when it's time to leave. My rates are set reflective of the caliber of service I offer which includes keeping your home secure and clean while you're away so that you return to happy pets and your home ready to settle back into hassle-free. My practice is to leave things better than I found them and treat your house like a home....you care for it...so do I. **I do offer house cleaning services as well** can discuss in person if interested. If you ever have any questions or concerns before or during a booking please bring everything to my attention. If you're curious about my availability during a time or my rates seem high for multiple animals please reach out to me anyway and I'll do my best to accommodate your needs. (There's times where there's breaks in the schedule I'd love to fill in and can more easily accommodate special requests). When responding to inquiries I do my best to answer promptly though there are times I'm in difficult service areas on a booking and need a little while to respond. I answer each and every request as promptly as possible. Q&A: Q: What sets you apart from other sitters? A: First off, I'm an independent at-home worker. That give me the flexibility to meet needed medication schedules, etc. I will care for your pup in a quiet non-smoking environment. Pets can be anxious enough already without adding in the stress of other factors so I keep the environment as peaceful and calm as possible attentively caring for the unique needs of the pet I'm watching. Here are some examples of specific care I've offered: -Taking care of a 15 year old pitbull with grass allergies who required medicine in pill form injested once a day. -Snuggling with a pet pig.....yes! This pig got some loving from me :). He enjoyed his strolls around town in a stroller like a child and made me smile quite a lot. -Adventuring on a road trip to Texas to a Chihuahua farm (I love those yappers) where my sister, niece and I picked up our beloved "Isabella Clarece". She was quite the diva from birth....she had her own mini framed bed and baby pacifier and clothes. She tucked herself under the covers like a human and folded the sheets back perfectly over herself. Our baby ended up making some very gorgeous pomchi babies later! She was so memorable.... -Attentive care to a dog struggling with cancer. -Caring for a cat post surgery who had a specific protocol to follow after her operation. -Looking after a Maltese with PTSD on a medicine regiment and another pupper that had some severe anxiety and separation withdrawals but really calmed down under my care. -Taking care of Koi Fish -Emergency rush to the vet to have tumors accessed and later the vet recommended she be put down because the tumors had spread....sad story. Thanks to all my continuing clients and for new clients thanks again for the inquiries! Q: How does pet care fit into your daily routine? A: My schedule is flexible as someone who works independently so I can accommodate last minute bookings and emergency requests. I am generally at home with your animal unless I run a quick errand. Overall; I'm a pet lover. I know whoever I choose to care for my pet I want to know they will care for them as I would. When I'm housesitting or stopping by for a visit I'll be attentive and caring as if your pet is my child. I will make sure you remain updated on how much your pet is enjoying themselves and what we found on our strolls and ask questions when necessary. Q: Are you able to handle special requests? I have some questions. A: I understand pets sometimes have special needs or there are special requests and I am able to accommodate both. My experiences have cultured me to the array of special needs that arise owning a pet including as well changing diapers with Isabella when she was on her period or dealing with the males when they get a little "excited". If you have any questions or need to explain some specific requests for me sitting your animal please don't hesitate to ask or let me know. I'm available and responsive most of the time unless I'm passing through a low service area. Q: Is my pet secure with you? A: One of our family pets were squirrels that fell from a tree as babies and needed to be bottle fed. If you know squirrels, you know they are sneaky but we kept them in their cages after learning some tricks. I understand Dogs and cats are sneaky so I practice being very aware of my entry and exit , and I practice a safe leash holding technique as well to ensure all animals under my care are secure. I make sure harnesses are properly set and collars are snug as well. Q: When housesitting how will you care for my home? A: Most importantly I'm staying in your home, so you will return and things will be in order. I'll water plants if needed. Pets occasionally have accidents, if that happens I'll clean it up immediately. I've owned and operated a cleaning business before so your home will be kept tidy and clean. If I leave for an errand I'll ensure the house is secure as well with doors locked and gates secured behind me as I leave.
