About: My experience caring for animals began in grade school, when I helped care for our horses, dogs, and neighbors’ animals. When our Labrador had her first litter shortly before my 10th birthday, I developed an even deeper connection with animals. I’ve always been drawn to their innocence, trust, and unconditional companionship. Caring for them feels less like a responsibility and more like an opportunity to offer the patience, kindness, and love they deserve. I have been a successful financial advisor on the island for 12+ years. Creating this account and becoming a part of this community is purely to give back to something that I truly believe in; quality pet care. Being single and childfree gives me the flexibility to make this happen. I make my work schedule so I am able to be flexible to animal and owner needs alike. I have had multiple friends and family members rely on me for personal pet care. The range of services I am offering would be anywhere from a quick dog walk on lunch break to overnight pet sitting. Experience with: eye drops, medication, wet and dry foods, and waste management 🙃

“Graham and his wife were AMAZING!!! They were so gentle and loving to Brooklyn. They kept me updated on her stay and sent me several pics of her smiling. Brooklyn's stay was over the 4th of July weekend and they made sure to play loud music for her so she wasn't stressed out. I'm so sad that they are moving because Brooklyn had such a great time with them. They were even nice enough to give her a gift at the end of her stay with a toy, homemade treats and a thank you card. PHENOMENAL PEOPLE!!!!”

“Chelsea carries the true spirit of aloha in the way she cares for Kona—and for us. 🌺 It was such a pleasure working with her. Knowing Kona was in such a warm, loving environment, surrounded by care, safety, and comfort while we were away was truly a blessing. We’re so grateful to have found Chelsea and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Kona again. 🐾❤️”

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs and cats and horses and birds. I love animals and have trained many dogs throughout my life. I have a big fenced in yard and my 14 year old dog just passed away, crushing my soul. Until I ever feel ok again to get another dog, I thought I could love someone else’s dog while helping them out! I work from home and only leave the house for errands here and there. I spend the majority of my life on my property working and tinkering around. I have a big fenced in yard and no other dog currently on property. I do have a cat wandering around. I can continue to crate train and love on them all day.

About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, a German Shepherd, who has been with me since he was a puppy. I currently work afternoon shifts from 2 pm to 10 pm, which means I’m fully available in the mornings for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your dog. My days off are usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when I have full availability and flexibility. I’m reliable, organized, and always plan my schedule carefully to make sure every dog gets the attention they deserve. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication at all times. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding routines, feeding, walks, and house rules. I’m respectful in clients’ homes and always make sure dogs are secure, comfortable, and calm. I keep environments clean and controlled, and I treat every dog as if it were my own.

About: Aloha! I'm Shanon, a naturopathic physician who loves to take care of pets in people's homes. I began caring for my neighbor's cat when I was 10 years old, graduating to dog care in my teens. Since then I have done pet sits in many states and countries, seeing some pets through their lifetimes. My clients have included dogs, cats, bunnies, tortoises, snails, fish and birds. I have also cared for chickens and horses and am willing to look after small farm animals such as goats and sheep. If requested, I take care of gardens/plants, mail/packages and any other issues that may arise while you are gone. Want local or distance references? There are many. Please ask for them! I look forward to hearing from you. Aloha, Shanon Much of my work is online so that I can spend the maximum amount of time with your furry, feathered and scaled friends - I aim to be at home 75% of the time. I treat all pets as my own so they get the attention, love and care they deserve. My services can also include administering medication (pills, subcutaneous injections for cats, insulin shots etc). I strive for your home to be in the same, if not better condition than when you left, and for your pets to be as well-tended to when you are away as when you are home.

Cosmo is an indoor/outdoor cat but I’ve also lived with a fully indoor cat. I had a roommate who got a kitten, Whiskey, and trained him in our tiny apartment. Whiskey liked to lick the butter dish, lick my toes, and he liked my room :)

She truly loves animals and we bonded over our compassion for senior rescues. She took wonderful care of our senior cat while we were away. It was such a relief to know she was in such great hands during a high stress (but exciting!) time in our lives. We will definitely be using Molly again the future!”

About: Aloha! 🌺 First off let me thank you for considering me as an option to care for your furry or not so furry friend! 🐾 I am from Illinois originally and have been living on the Big Island 3+ years. I like to spend my spare time in the water or on the trails. I love all animals and do exceptionally well with dogs & cats. I believe strongly in regular exercise, stimulative play, and a healthy diet for all animals. I am fast learning and willing to adapt to your pet's needs. I have many years of experience caring for dogs & cats in a personal capacity. I was a cat owner for 10 years until his passing a few years ago from cancer. I have lived with several different dogs of all shapes, sizes, & temperaments throughout my life, being a family pet, a partner's, or a roommate's. I have always wanted a dog of my own, however, have not yet been in the proper personal situation to do so. In addition to dogs & cats, I have experience caring for horses & rabbits. I am open to any type of pet care, and if you have any specific questions about my pet care please send me a message! Mahalo Nui Loa, Jess I am currently working part-time Wed-Sat 10am-7pm. Outside of that time I'm available for whatever need your fuzzy (or not so fuzzy) friend may have! Although I do not provide sitting in my home, I'll follow your pets schedule & needs as close as possible in yours! I always have an extra leash & water bowl in my car ready for anything!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, small animals, and hoofed animals, and my experience extends far beyond pet ownership. I hold bachelor’s degrees in biology, psychology, and anthropology. My studies in animal behavior, physiology, and research help me better understand animal body language, behavior, and individual needs. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of species, including exotic hoofstock and birds in a zoological setting, as well as pigs, goats, and birds through wildlife rescue and animal care work. I also volunteered in an animal shelter environment for approximately three years, where I handled and photographed thousands of dogs to help them find loving homes. Through that experience, I became comfortable working with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. I have experience administering medications and genuinely enjoy caring for senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m also passionate about exercise and an active lifestyle and am happy to provide outdoor walks and enrichment for energetic pets. In addition to my animal background, I hold a master’s degree in counseling, which has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to remain calm and attentive in a variety of situations. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, or senior, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to their individual personality and routine so both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I’m a small business owner and public school teacher, which gives me a structured yet flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I generally have the most availability on weekends, school holidays, and breaks—especially during the summer months—when I can provide extended, consistent care and house sitting. During the school year, I’m typically available in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, with greater flexibility on weekends. I’m always happy to discuss specific dates and needs to see what works best for your pet’s routine. I value consistency, communication, and reliability so that pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and owners can enjoy peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine in the environment where they feel most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines are completed on time and as directed. I treat every home with a high level of respect and care, keeping spaces clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. I’m mindful of both the pet’s needs and the owner’s home, and I prioritize reliability, safety, and consistency in every visit or stay. I also believe clear communication is essential, so I provide updates as needed to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I’m equipped to care for all your pets needs and give them love and attention while you’re away! I have experience in cat sitting, dog sitting, Guinea pig/hamster/bird/reptiles etc. I love animals and care for all kinds. I work full-time with a consistent schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for.

I’ll always be upfront if I think a pet’s needs are beyond what my schedule can provide. I care for every pet as if they were my own while respecting your home and your routine. I follow your pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and potty breaks, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I keep your home clean, tidy up after your pet, and treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Aaliyah was amazing with my pup! I had a last minute schedule change, and she came through and saved the day! We were able to book two walks with her and I know my puppy absolutely loved her because he looked so happy in the photos she so kindly sent over. I also appreciated the detailed summary of the walk in the Rover card, it put me at ease to know my puppy was in good hands. I would absolutely recommend her for your fur baby’s needs, and we will definitely be booking her again soon!”

About: I grew up with 2 Australian shepherds and I have shadowed a professional dog trainer. Although I have the most experience with Ausie’s, I am comfortable around all dogs that are friendly to humans :) I have also recently spent time getting to know cats and have fallen in love with them too! My schedule is not very set in stone right now. I have a lot of little jobs here and there but nothing full time. I will work to make myself available as much as possible. After September 21 I will start school but mostly online so I will still have free time. I am happy to accommodate to any specifications you have for taking care of your dog. I will not reward bad behavior and I will give your dog lots of attention.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, small animals, and hoofed animals, and my experience extends far beyond pet ownership. I hold bachelor’s degrees in biology, psychology, and anthropology. My studies in animal behavior, physiology, and research help me better understand animal body language, behavior, and individual needs. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of species, including exotic hoofstock and birds in a zoological setting, as well as pigs, goats, and birds through wildlife rescue and animal care work. I also volunteered in an animal shelter environment for approximately three years, where I handled and photographed thousands of dogs to help them find loving homes. Through that experience, I became comfortable working with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. I have experience administering medications and genuinely enjoy caring for senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m also passionate about exercise and an active lifestyle and am happy to provide outdoor walks and enrichment for energetic pets. In addition to my animal background, I hold a master’s degree in counseling, which has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to remain calm and attentive in a variety of situations. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, or senior, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to their individual personality and routine so both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I’m a small business owner and public school teacher, which gives me a structured yet flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I generally have the most availability on weekends, school holidays, and breaks—especially during the summer months—when I can provide extended, consistent care and house sitting. During the school year, I’m typically available in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, with greater flexibility on weekends. I’m always happy to discuss specific dates and needs to see what works best for your pet’s routine. I value consistency, communication, and reliability so that pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and owners can enjoy peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine in the environment where they feel most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines are completed on time and as directed. I treat every home with a high level of respect and care, keeping spaces clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. I’m mindful of both the pet’s needs and the owner’s home, and I prioritize reliability, safety, and consistency in every visit or stay. I also believe clear communication is essential, so I provide updates as needed to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I am an active, dog-lover that would be so excited to get to know your sweet pup! I love taking dogs for walks and going out and exploring the neighborhoods (and dog parks!) around me. They will get endless amount of love and attention while in my care! I currently work remotely, so I am able to stay home for most of the day with your furry friend. Please reach out and let me know if you are in need of a dog-loving sitter! I work from home Monday-Friday and have a 5-1pm schedule. Within that timeframe, my work is pretty flexible so I will often play with the pups on breaks/lunches. I go on walks every evening between 1-4pm, usually 3+ miles. I am not able to offer stays at my own home at this time, but would love to help out and house sit or come stop by to take your sweet pup for a walk! I like to understand each individual dogs needs, so please don’t hesitate to let me know if there are any specific requests for activities/enrichment for your dog.

About: Aloha! We have cared for many animals, plants, and homes over the last 5yrs as full time caretakers + pet au pairs. House sitting in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Bali, Vietnam, California, and Hawaii. As a medical professionals (nurses), we are extremely comfortable with administering medications and special care when needed. *** 50+ reviews on another platform - available upon request! *** Full time pet au pairs, so most of the time is spent caring for the pet and being comfortable in the home environment together - while enjoying the vibes of the local community. Prefer long term care arrangements of 2wks - 3 months. This allows time to bond with the pet, establish routines, and enjoy the experience at a slower pace.

About: I’ve dog walked and dog sat for over a year and on and off for about 5 years. I’ve always loved being around animals, I grew up in a dog family and have always enjoyed walking dogs playing with them or sitting on the couch and snuggling with dogs. They’re truly happiness and every dog I’ve ever met has always put a smile on my face. As of right now I currently work part time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. Do any days of the week work I’m a trustworthy and reliable person and will prioritize spending time with your animals making sure they’re happy and safe. I can only stay at a clients house as I can’t bring any pets to my place as I’m renting.

“Graham and his wife were AMAZING!!! They were so gentle and loving to Brooklyn. They kept me updated on her stay and sent me several pics of her smiling. Brooklyn's stay was over the 4th of July weekend and they made sure to play loud music for her so she wasn't stressed out. I'm so sad that they are moving because Brooklyn had such a great time with them. They were even nice enough to give her a gift at the end of her stay with a toy, homemade treats and a thank you card. PHENOMENAL PEOPLE!!!!”

Knowing Kona was in such a warm, loving environment, surrounded by care, safety, and comfort while we were away was truly a blessing. We’re so grateful to have found Chelsea and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Kona again. 🐾❤️”

About: I grew up on a farm with dogs and cats and horses and birds. I love animals and have trained many dogs throughout my life. I have a big fenced in yard and my 14 year old dog just passed away, crushing my soul. Until I ever feel ok again to get another dog, I thought I could love someone else’s dog while helping them out! I work from home and only leave the house for errands here and there. I spend the majority of my life on my property working and tinkering around. I have a big fenced in yard and no other dog currently on property. I do have a cat wandering around. I can continue to crate train and love on them all day.

About: I approach every job with a heart of service, integrity, and compassion. I believe animals are a beautiful part of God’s creation, and I’m committed to caring for every pet with the same love, patience, and responsibility I would want for my own. My goal is to provide each pet with a safe, loving, and nurturing environment while giving their owners peace of mind. Pet care isn’t just a side job for me—it’s a meaningful part of my daily life. I structure my schedule around the pets I care for, giving each visit the time and attention it deserves. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. I stick closely to their normal routine, including: Feeding and Medication: I follow all meal schedules and medication instructions exactly as provided. Cleanliness: I refresh litter boxes, clean up any messes, and ensure food and water areas stay tidy. Exercise and Play: I engage with your pets through play, walks, or enrichment—depending on their age, energy level, and personality. Updates for You: I send daily photos and notes, so you never have to wonder how things are going. Home Care Touches: I also bring in mail, water plants, or adjust lights and blinds to give your home a lived-in feel while you're away.
