Personalized care for your dog or cat - Komakawai

“Graham and Chelsea are the most sweet and thoughtful couple you could ask to watch your fur babies while you’re gone. They send us photos of the dogs while we’re away which always helps when we’re missing them. They even offer drop off/pick up from ocean view to Kona. Really couldn’t say enough good things about them other than we are stoked to have found them and have people on island we can trust to care for our pups. Mahalo guys!”

“Josh and Ruby hosted my grandpup for 11 days. They were wonderful host and went out for daily morning walks and sent me pictures regularly. I would use them again for my next work trip out of state.”

Garrett G.

“Chelsea and her boyfriend, Josh, really helped me out when I was in a tight spot. They are communicative, reliable, and were available on short notice. They took very good care of my dog and he came home happy and healthy. I think my dog really enjoyed playing with their two dogs. I would certainly use their services again.”

“We are grateful for finding Brian on Rover. Rosie is a energetic and intelligent Border Collie/Aussie mix, 2 year old. Brian has the stamina and knowledge to keep up with her and show her a super fun time. We felt comfortable knowing he would play with her, train with her and most of all care for her in our absence! He sent us pictures and videos where it was clear Rosie was having a marvelous time. We were questioning if she'd want to come home, she was having so much fun. We will definitely use his services again!💞🐾”

Barbara A.

“Cyra was wonderful! She took great care of my dog and was very communicative beforehand and throughout the stay. I would definitely recommend her to others.”

Allison B.

“A dog whisper. My sweet Jenny gets very emotional and upset when she's not with me. She was instantly at ease with Cassidy and had a great time! I can’t believe it. I feel so lucky to have found him.”

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.

“Lety took great care of Layla! Quick communication, sent great pics, and was very accommodating. I'll be a repeat client for sure! Thank you!”

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have experience with everything from horses and livestock, to birds, reptiles and fish. I am currently working very part time (3 hours a day) at a Kennel. I am usually always home by 11 am and am only away from home for a very short time. I have a large fenced yard, but will crate or kennel pets while unsupervised for a very short amount of time. I spend a majority of my time at home with my own pets and hanging out in the yard.

About: Hello, I have cared for dogs for 6 years and love them to death. I have a lot of energy for your dog or I can chill and pet him all day... whatever your baby wants I'm down! I am very flexible with my schedule due to my work. I work part-time so scheduling with me won't be a problem. If your furry babies have specific times I would be able to do so. I will take care of your pets like they are my own! I will make sure I have detailed instructions so your babies get the same care they would have in your hands. I love walking dogs or chilling with him with cuddle and pets. I am comfortable crating your pet or letting it roam based on your desires whenever I am not present with your pet. I am also knowledgeable in particular behaviors or needs such as anxiety, medication, and old age.

About: I’ve grown up with cats my whole life and have watched cats for friends and family for over a decade. I can provide cats with LOTS of love and enrichment.

“Chelsea is an amazing sitter! She does so well with both of our cats, and her communication is excellent. We've hired her many times, and will continue to choose her for our pet sitting needs.”

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.

“We are so grateful to have found Leah! She did such a fantastic job feeding and taking care of our kitties while we were traveling. She was communicative, flexible, and always took the time to make sure all the care instructions were covered. It was a huge relief knowing our fur babies were in such great hands! Thank you, Leah!”

Andrea K.

About: I grew up with a cat who was my best friend and spent years of time taking care of and spending time together. I have rescued kittens on Island who were abandoned in the past & have administered medications to them as well. I have also volunteered at FPG sanctuary on the Island that is home to a few kitties in addition to dogs & farm animals

“Brooke responds quickly to requests and questions. I felt confident my dog well cared for. I will rebook her again.”

Laura A.

“Kristin was great. She is really good at communicating. She took pictures and videos. I can tell my dog enjoyed her time with Kristin.”

Jessica H.

“Without a doubt, Faith was exactly the type of house/pet sitter that we were looking for. She is competent and caring. We don’t have children, so our pets are our babies. We trust her 100% to care for and love our pets. We received daily updates and felt our six pets were cared for and loved. We came home to a house that was very clean and tidy. We could not have asked for more. We most definitely will be calling upon Faith again on a regular basis.”

Kimberly E.

“Gaby is exceptional! She did a wonderful job taking care of my pet and keeping me informed the entire time.”

Chrystal Y.

About: Over the years I have owned and cared for various breeds of dogs which has thus created skills that I utilize during my car of your pet. My number one principal is to create a peaceful, loving environment for your animal while under my care. I am a very flexible sitter and I’m willing to accommodate to any requests you may have. Thank you for your consideration. All of my work is based out of my home office. I spend a lot of one on one time with my clients pets which I believe brings a much better experience for both me and your pet. Boarding services are my favorite services because I get to spend more one on one time with the animals. Doggy Daycare is my home daycare service, taking the clients out for most of the day, playing and relaxing instead of waiting alone for their owners to return home for the day. Drop Ins and Walks are services provided at the clients residence. I want all of my clients to feel loved and safe while in my care and I would like their owners to know they are in good hands.

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, my love for pets is a lifelong devotion. I’ve shared my home and heart with dogs and cats throughout my life, and I’ve been a trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience with animals of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—including senior pets and those needing extra tenderness or special care. In addition to hands-on experience, I bring a calm, grounded presence and a deep sensitivity to the emotional needs of animals. I’m trained in energy healing and often incorporate gentle, calming energy into my care when appropriate—helping pets feel safe, seen, and loved while their humans are away. My approach is intuitive, attentive, and heart-centered. I treat each pet as the unique soul they are, and I feel truly honored to care for them. I work from home a lot and I have the freedom to be available and present full-time. I’m devoted to being with your pet providing all their needs. I prefer to provide care in the clients home but I can also bring your pet to my home. I have a big yard and a deck that is fenced. Pets will are welcome.

“If you’re coming up with you pet and hitting the parks Cassidy is great! We reached out super last minute and he even extended his time & added a day that wasn’t originally available. Great location close to all the mountains. We will most definitely use him again.”

I would provide quality and loving care for your babies like I do my own. I love meeting new doggos and seeing different personalities and building relationships with so I have no doubt you and your fur baby would get along just fine!😃 I have a fenced yard, open green grass to run around and play in.

About: I love all animals from farm animals to wild animals, and cats & dogs! I have 4 dog rescues of my own. Boston Terrier/Mini Pin, White Shepherd, Newfoundland, and most recently a Treeing Tennessee Brindle. I've recently graduated from Penn Foster as a Dog Obedience Trainer/Instructor. I love taking care of dogs in need, exchanging companionship, and simply hanging out with furry friends! Ready for adventures with some extra exercise too!! I have a very flexible schedule and I can usually accommodate to make things work. I have a routine for my own dogs with extra assistance available to take care of them if I need to be elsewhere to take care of my clients pet(s). I have multiple options from a fenced in yard, indoor comforts, or I can crate your pet if preferred. I also enjoy getting the extra exercise and going for walks.

“Margo was an incredible find! She was so caring and attentive to our little girl from the first second they met. I thought I would be so anxious leaving her with someone I didn’t know, but Margo kept me updated & sent multiple pictures throughout the day. Charlotte came home happy and healthy and sleepy from all their playtime and walks. I honestly wish we’d found her earlier in the trip. 15/10 recommend”

Madison G.

“I've been sending my dog, Wayland, to William for over a year and a half now. Wayland is always SO excited to go to William's house to run around and play with the other dogs, and he is always a happy/tired pup when he returns home. William is flexible with my schedule and so great with my dog. I will happily continue to send my dog to him!”

About: I grew up caring for cats and dogs. I have an innate understanding of the behavior and needs of animals. I truly enjoy caring for animals; almost as much as they enjoy me : giving them all the attention they need, walks, hikes, and/or trail runs. I'm an elementary teacher and available after 3:00 during the weekdays I am available for over night stays any night of the week and free on weekends. I can care for your pet at your home, since I do not have a fenced in yard. I will follow the schedule and instructions for your animals.

About: I was raised to cherish all dogs. Our 1st doberman Guinness lived past 18 years. I will do everything to make sure your dog is not only fed and hydrated, but happy, comfortable, mentally stimulated and loved. We walk almost a mile in the morning before breakfast. Dogs are separated while eating twice a day to make sure everyone is fed equally. Pets are treated like members of the family, welcome to enter and exit the house anytime to avoid weather use the outdoors. Large fenced yard with many shade trees provides more than enough area to nap or play.

About: All my life I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds, llamas, horses, zonkeys, emu’s, you name it. My mom owned an animal rescue farm my entire life, and was constantly bringing home animals in need of a loving home. We raised mostly Australian shepherds of every size and horses on our farm in West Virginia, as well as showing some of them for the sport of it. After moving out and on my own away from the farm life, I missed it more than ever and thought what better way to gain that feeling back than by helping others out by hanging out with their pets!? Needless to say, I have a lifetime of experience with animals which inspired me to begin pet sitting. It’s the safest way for me to get my "pet fix", otherwise I'd adopt every animal from the humane society 😅 I have three daughters, a 6 & 4 year old, and newborn, whom also share the same love for animals as we do. I swear it runs in our blood! I feel that it is important for them to learn responsibility and how to care/love for each and every animal they encounter in life as well, so I would love to surround them with pets of all kinds! I have pet sit for many friends here on island, including small short visits, bathing and walks. I am reliable and easy to get in touch with. I also don't mind doing some obedience training if needed too! I was practically raised around the methods of Cesar Millan because my mom was obsessed with his ways! I am comfortable with any age, breed, and or size animal, so if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out :) I'm a full-time stay-at-home-mom. The majority of our days involve going on walks, being outside, and staying active. My littles love animals so much, so I feel that caring for other pets would allow them to grow, learn, and also experience the joy of pet sitting and animals! We have a fully fenced in acre of land to provide ultimate safety for your fur babies! We are vigilant on making sure our doors are closed at all times due to our little ones as well, so safety is something we take pride in! Our house has an open floor plan and a large wrap around porch that has no outlets as well! So needless to say we have loads of room for roaming 🤭

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.

“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 have had many special bonds with many kinds of animals & I’ve always given them the love & kindness ALL animals deserve. I love training puppies to become the best doggie they can be! When my Jude was a puppy, I used “tricks-for-treats” method using hand signals & now that Jude lost her hearing she knows her commands only by my hand signals! I have taken care of a handful of elderly dogs and cats whom I know felt very safe and loved my company so much. Whenever I’m with any animal I always feel like I’m making an impact in their life and I shine my light on their beautiful hearts every time. They are my world 🌎 ❤️❤️❤️ Currently, I am open available anytime, day or night, rain or shine! Even last minute I will be available. My doggie approved house is filled with dog beds of all sizes, and dog crates if that’s what they like, & hardwood floor for cooling off. My yard is fenced in and surrounded by a forest of trees. Plenty of play toys and green grass for sunbaths! This is my passion…… I eat, sleep, & take care for animals. I’m very grateful for any furry friend to come into my life. Even if it’s just for a day ❤️ When I’m not busy with pets, I am the voice for the voiceless...I am a very active animal rights activist, I am a member of the Dominion action movement, I am very very passionate about all animals. My dream is to have my own animal sanctuary where every animal will love their life free just as our pets do. I will also find homes for homeless/abused/abandoned animals. My house is dog approved. I have a lot of toys and doggy beds & In my breezeway I have a dog ramp for elderly or injured dogs to use to get into my house.

“Professional, kind and attentive. I will trust her again with my dog walking.”

About: My family of thirteen always had cats and dogs in the house. I learned early to pick up the slack and make sure their needs were met. As an adult, I've volunteered with animal shelters and I am always looking for a reason to play with a new animal. I am unafraid, a little barking or growling won't sway me; I can happily administer unrequited love until they warm up. But it never takes long. Your pet was probably meant to meet me 😇 Your pet will take absolute priority while in my care. I do work but with advance bookings, I may be able to work around whatever schedule you’d prefer I kept with your pets. At your request, I can definitely go on regular jogs or outings with them too, but I will always plan to leave a job having made a new friend in your pet. I promise to prioritize, care for, and love them because that's what animals deserve. Mahalo nui loa Cleanliness is extremely important to me, especially with our new normal. Any measures I can take to ensure your comfort can absolutely be adhered to. Also, I am vaccinated.

About: My name is Travis and I love cats, dogs and any animal for that matter. I have a small, laid back ChiPin (chihuahua/miniature pinscher) of my own and thought this to be the perfect opportunity to make some extra cash, socialize my pup (who Loves playing with other animals), stay active and help people who need to report to work or just have a beach day. I believe animals are one of the true joys of life and would love the opportunity to help you out and give my only child some play time and sniff action. Animals just want to play, eat and get loved. With my warm demeanor and strong work ethic, we would be companions to your companion while giving you a sense of security that your animal is taken care of while you take care of business.

Fridays - Mondays are most flexible for me, but I’d love to play around with my schedule to suit your needs! I live in a residential, pet-friendly neighborhood that’s perfect for walks or runs. I have a yard but no fence, so will be extra careful when going outside. Lots of comfy rugs, pillows, and furniture inside for lounging :) happy to crate your dog if desired, or house sit if preferred. Very flexible!

“Graham and Chelsea are the most sweet and thoughtful couple you could ask to watch your fur babies while you’re gone. They send us photos of the dogs while we’re away which always helps when we’re missing them. They even offer drop off/pick up from ocean view to Kona. Really couldn’t say enough good things about them other than we are stoked to have found them and have people on island we can trust to care for our pups. Mahalo guys!”

“Josh and Ruby hosted my grandpup for 11 days. They were wonderful host and went out for daily morning walks and sent me pictures regularly. I would use them again for my next work trip out of state.”

“Chelsea and her boyfriend, Josh, really helped me out when I was in a tight spot. They are communicative, reliable, and were available on short notice. They took very good care of my dog and he came home happy and healthy. I think my dog really enjoyed playing with their two dogs. I would certainly use their services again.”

“We are grateful for finding Brian on Rover. Rosie is a energetic and intelligent Border Collie/Aussie mix, 2 year old. Brian has the stamina and knowledge to keep up with her and show her a super fun time. We felt comfortable knowing he would play with her, train with her and most of all care for her in our absence! He sent us pictures and videos where it was clear Rosie was having a marvelous time. We were questioning if she'd want to come home, she was having so much fun. We will definitely use his services again!💞🐾”

“A dog whisper. My sweet Jenny gets very emotional and upset when she's not with me. She was instantly at ease with Cassidy and had a great time! I can’t believe it. I feel so lucky to have found him.”

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.

“Lety took great care of Layla! Quick communication, sent great pics, and was very accommodating. I'll be a repeat client for sure! Thank you!”

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have experience with everything from horses and livestock, to birds, reptiles and fish. I am currently working very part time (3 hours a day) at a Kennel. I am usually always home by 11 am and am only away from home for a very short time. I have a large fenced yard, but will crate or kennel pets while unsupervised for a very short amount of time. I spend a majority of my time at home with my own pets and hanging out in the yard.
