“We could tell immediately when we got home that our dog and cat were relaxed and happy after Cathy took care of them for several days. Our cat can be pretty aloof at times, so it was great to see him acting like his normal self when we returned.”

“Auntie Dianne is an ABSOLUTE gem! She is in a word… INCREDIBLE! We are so lucky to have found her!!!! She has dog sat for us twice now and has provided TOP NOTCH love and care of our furbabies! She is very proactive with her communication both with initial meet up and during her service! She shows up on time and checks in at appropriate intervals with updates of our fur-kiddos (with adorable pictures of course!)! She is easy going, flexible, relatable and sweet as pie! In addition to treating our babies with the same tender love and care as she would her own, she treats our home with the same level of respect — consistently leaving our home even cleaner than how she received it! Can’t beat that! We can say with absolute confidence that when we leave, we know and trust our furbabies and home are under her competent, watchful and loving eye! She is our first call for all our doggo sitting needs! Mahalo Auntie Dianne! Till next time! 💕”

“Kristen was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs and two cats. She communicated throughout her stay and shared cute photos. We returned home to a few happy critters! Would highly recommend her!”

“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!!”

“Kelsey took amazing care of our two pups. They were well loved while we were away with long walks, snuggles and check in's to let us know what they were up to. Thank you, Kelsey!”


“Andie's first job for us was 15 days housesitting our cat. She did a perfect job and even added fun times for his day. She made sure he ate well and adhered to his dailey schedule. We appreciated coming home to a very well loved kitty and we will have no hesitation at all calling on her again!”

“Angel has been very good and staying in contact with us and sending us pictures of our pets who look very happy in satisfied. We will certainly request her at our next travel opportunity. Thank you, Tim and Becki,”

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.
“Our pup adores Greg, and so do we! Greg kept our sweet pup exercised, rested, fed, happy, entertained and safe while we were on our first trip away from our little guy. We felt so happy knowing Mookie was in Greg’s capable hands. Would recommend Greg to anyone, and can’t wait to have him with our sweet pup again soon. Thanks, Greg!”


“Daisy is a reliable, thoughtful and caring petsitter. She listened very well to our needs for our dog and outdoor cats. She went above and beyond our expectations, taking our dog out for more than just walks but fun car rides and adventures. She even asked if we had a seatbelt for him, and when we didn't have it at the house for her, she went and bought one "to have for next time." We really appreciate how Daisy is proactive in her job, she isn't afraid to ask questions about anything our dog may need. She communicated throughout her stay and sent photos which always made us feel reassured. Through our talks with Daisy, we learned what an animal lover she is. My husband and I highly recommend Daisy for petsitting any animal, and for housesitting. We will definitely call on her again!”

“Katalin was fabulous with our dogs. She asked a lot of questions and really got to know them before we left. Our dogs were well taken care of and we would hire her again without hesitation. Great job!”

“Bob was exceptional with communication from start to finish! He had all the right questions to ask to make things go as smoothly as possible and have the best care for Pearl. She is intimidated when she first meets men but he knew just what to do and knew to ask the right questions to ask in order for me to convey this to him. They left the place cleaner than they found it and I appreciated that! I heard positive comments from neighbors about how well she was taken care of so I will definitely be calling on Bob again.”


“Kai made our stay away a lot less stressful. He sent some awesome pics of our dog getting hugged and spoiled...just what we hoped for! Looking forward to having Kai stay again in the future!!”
About: We are an experienced house and pet sitting family with multiple successful sits including in Hawaii caring for cats, dogs, fish, and homes with gardens and outdoor responsibilities. We have completed house sits on Oahu and the Big Island and have earned 5-star reviews reflecting our reliability, communication, and care. I bring a background volunteering with an animal rescue organization where I fostered animals, giving me experience with different personalities, routines, and care needs. We take the responsibility and exchange of house sitting seriously and are meticulous about following instructions, maintaining routines, and caring for homes respectfully. What sets us apart is the amount of time we naturally spend at home. In this season of life with young children and a remote-working spouse, pets receive a great deal of companionship, affection, and consistency while their people are away. You can also expect: • Excellent communication and regular photo updates • Strong attention to detail and routine-following • Respectful care of homes, artwork, gardens, plants, and outdoor spaces • Experience with tropical homes and environments from both Hawaii house sits and 5 years living in Florida • Clean, tidy, and conscientious home care I am a lifelong dog owner and have experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments through personal ownership, rescue fostering, house sitting, and pet sitting. Experience includes breeds and mixes such as: • German Shepherds • Labrador Retrievers • Australian Shepherds • Bernese Mountain Dogs • Small companion breeds • Mixed breeds and rescue dogs I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding routines, supervised outdoor time, reinforcing owner routines, and adapting to different activity levels and personalities. I understand that every dog has its own temperament and routine, and I prioritize keeping their schedule familiar and low stress. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. My husband joins me on sits and works remotely, and with young children we spend a large amount of time at home. This means pets receive plenty of dedicated time, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Our routine works especially well for pets that benefit from human presence, consistency, playtime, and affection. We prioritize: • Morning and evening routines • Walks and exercise schedules • Feeding consistency • Playtime and enrichment • Companionship throughout the day • Maintaining established household routines We care for homes and pets with the understanding that this is a meaningful exchange built on trust. I keep homes clean and tidy, and strive to respect others’ belongings and spaces as if they were our own. You can expect us to: • Follow instructions carefully and thoroughly • Maintain pet routines and household systems • Provide updates and photos • Keep homes clean and organized • Respect artwork, furnishings, gardens, and outdoor spaces • Secure pets appropriately and prioritize safety • Communicate proactively if anything arises I understand the trust involved in leaving both beloved pets and a home in someone else’s care and take that responsibility seriously.
“Aly was amazing!! One of our dog was injured needed some extra care and Aly was wonderful in providing that care. She was also great about communication and texting us updates. Not only do I plan on using Aly again, I’ve also been recommending her to my friends.”
“Dani was absolutely amazing! Our usual sitter wasn’t available, I was extremely nervous and she was so sweet communicating thoroughly the entire time. So grateful she was available during the holidays and still able to enjoy her holidays! Cannot wait to utilize her expertise again! Thanks girl! ☺️”

“Tia is a sweet, kind and caring sitter who was a very good match for my cat while I was away. I really loved the pictures and videos Tia sent me and it made me feel better while I was traveling. I am very grateful to know my cat was taken care of well.”
