Personalized care for your dog or cat - Paauilo

“I visited Randy at her home beforehand and immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She welcomed us with a very friendly dog, and it was clear right away that she truly loves dogs (and other animals). Her place is wonderful for dogs — spacious, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. Randy is warm, friendly, calm, compassionate, and very accommodating to your needs. I’m sure my dog had a great time with her and made some new dog friends. I would happily leave my dog with her again. I also briefly met her husband, and he seemed very kind and sweet. Thank you, Randy and William, for taking such good care of my dog!”

“I highly recommend Julie to care for your animal. It was my first time leaving our puppy, Mahaina, with someone so we could go on a trip and I was so relieved when Mahina immediately ran to Julie and was completely happy and content when we had to leave. It was actually my 2 year old daughter that had a hard time leaving Mahina, but Julie also helped with that transition too.”

“Alexander was great again with our pup, Koa. We've hired Alexander for doggy daycare several times, but this was the first boarding. There was a small mix-up at drop off, but he apologized and worked quickly to rectify the mistake. Koa is an anxious little guy, and Alexander was great with him. He accommodated our needy pup wanting to be glued to him the entire stay. They worked on the computer together, mowed the lawn together, and I'm sure there were countless other hours of lap snuggles. Warms my heart knowing that our little Koa was treated with compassion and support while away from home.”

About: I have had both cats and dogs since I was in Kindergarten. Friends and neighbors have trusted me with their pet care needs for years. I have been on Rover for over 3 years now and am a trusted and reliable sitter. I oftentimes watch senior dogs, some with medical needs. I am very attuned to what animals need and give them tons of love and attention. It is a reciprocal relationship where we both appreciate the company and cuddles. When boarding dogs, my mom also loves dogs and is able to provide them with much love and attention when I need to be at work. She lives in the house and enjoys helping out with our furry guests. Your pet will most likely not be alone for more than an hour. I am very active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I always adhere to the pup's acitivity level and age. I have also cared for a neglected pitbull terrier in my old neighborhood. The dog was chained all the time and not cared for. I asked the owners if I could walk him daily. I have removed ticks and groomed him in an effort to provide some much needed attention and TLC. I have sought out medical care for the dog and helped to build a better shelter. I have also worked to educate the family on what it means to be a dog owner and treat the pup like a family member. Dogs just yearn to protect and be close to thier pack (owners). I still walk him to this day even though I no longer live in the neighborhood. The dog can be aggressive with other people and animals but is always affectionate towards me. I had to train the dog how to walk on a leash as it had not been walked in years. At first, the dog was a bit wild and did not know what to do. Now, he can heel and listens to commands. He even sits for some treats! I know how to use caution and practice safety measures when walking the dog so that others and the aggressive dog are kept safe and unharmed. I have a bleeding heart for animals. I am great with animals of all ages, personalities, and fitness levels! I am a social worker and love to give pets as much attention as possible! I am sensitive to their needs and always make sure your pet is comfortable. I treat them as one of my own. I am available to dog-sit/ house-sit or board most dogs as long as they are house trained.

“Kathy helped change my puppys life! After meeting with her, we brought our puppy over for daycare and he was so happy. She sent me updates throughout the day and reassured me that she was working with him as well. Then she was able to help us by boarding him for the weekend and I have never seen him happier! I was at ease knowing he was in good hands!”

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.

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.

“Great report cards and awesome communication. It really helped keep our minds at ease”

“Andrea was so wonderful! She was incredibly patient and loving to our two fosters dogs who were nervous. She earned the trust of both and was able to care for them each day she visited. We are so thankful for her kindness and would recommend her to anyone who is cautious about someone new taking care of their fur babies.”

About: I’ve been doing a pet sitting for over three years, and this is now my third summer providing pet sitting in Hawaii. During this time, I’ve looked after cats and dogs with different personalities, routines, and needs, always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Animals have always been a part of my life. I grew up with both cats and dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m definitely both a cat and a dog person, and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I helped care for many animals and learned to be patient, attentive, and compassionate. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or simply have a calm companion nearby, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel happiest. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to create a calm, safe, and loving environment while you’re away. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. Most of my work is done from home, so your pet will rarely be left alone for long periods. Outside of work, I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so I’m always happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, or simply keep them company. I also offer drop-in visits and house sitting, and I always do my best to maintain your pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. My schedule allows me to provide lots of attention, companionship, and loving care throughout the day. I currently provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep their usual routine. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special routines. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos, so they can feel confident and connected while they’re away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel relaxed, safe, and well cared for.

“Jody was very attentive and sent multiple updates on how things were going. I felt like my cat was in good hands the whole time I was away, she definitely gave me peace of mind. I would love to book her again in the future. Mahalo Jody!”

We have lived on our Aina for 25 years and have been blessed with a few cats who some unfortunaly passed away from old age. We love our cats . They are all outdoor cats. I am comfortable and love indoor cats as well.

About: I grew up with indoor and outdoor cats and understand their needs and how different they are from other animals. Particularly their need for love when they want it, and how to give them space while still making them feel loved and engaged. I currently have a wonderful cat named Snape, he is shown in the picture above.

About: Was trained by the Southern Oregon Human Society; in a program to take at risk dogs and turn them around into adoptable trained best friends.

I’ve got many references as to my pet ownership/pet sitting and would love to share. I’ve owned 2 Weimaraner's, 2 Australian Shepherds and 2 pits have grown up with rotties,labs and huskys and many small dog breeds. I am not beginner with massive dogs and love the little ones. Just let me know what you need and we can make it happen. All prices negotiable just let me know what you can afford and I will try and work with you. 24/7 availability, same day or night booking accepted, easy cancellation, rain or shine I will be there for you and your pet.

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

“I am grateful to have connected with Randy through Rover. Randy’s calm demeanor, patience and genuine love of dogs, combined with her serene home with a spacious yard, puts me at ease and thankful for the amazing care she provides to our dog while in her care.”

“She was easy to communicate and prompt with timing. Big dog lover for sure! I would be delighted for Wane to come back soon. Mahalo Julie! 5/5 Stars. Highly recommended”

“I can't express enough the appreciation I have for Kathy! She is the Good People! 100% trusted and will trust her with my only kiddo! He had so much fun the weekend I had to finish a class, I almost felt like I shoukd have been paying her just for wearing him out! He's slept better than ever these past few nights. I believe he's dreaming of her place and other pals!? Idk, us dog lovers have to be a little... creative, to be good at it. Well, she is! 100%! 10 stars! 5/5! Mahalo again Kathy! Can't recommend enough. First time using this app, so I was super nervous. She put my mind at ease, fast!”

Chris B.

“Alexander was caring and kind to our little pup, Koa. He was intentional and slow in introducing the dogs to each other. He has a large, fully fenced-in backyard, but for this first dog sitting, he brought Koa out on a leash in the yard and for a walk around the neighborhood. Alexander was accommodating and flexible with pick-up/drop-off times and was available with short notice. We will book with him again.”

Diana K.

“Leana was on time, and so considerate of my pup on this walk! Making sure she was taken care of and watered, while sending photo updates. Def requesting Leana again!! ❤️”

“Andrea is absolutely wonderful! She truly loves animals and always takes great care of my dog. I highly recommend her, she is very caring and trustworthy.”

About: **I AM TRAVELING OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY STARTING 5/20/26 AND WILL BE BLOCKING MY CALENDAR TILL I KNOW I WILL RETURN. ** I travel off island often and can't have my own puppy family, so I will watch your fur-babies like they are my own! I enjoy the adventure of pup-sitting at homes all over the island. I work remotely so am able to be away from my place for long stretches of time. While I like to explore the local areas I stay in, I will mostly be snuggled up with your fur-babies typing away. I am a veteran with Rover- In fact I have been pet-sitting before Rover existed using Craigslist. I have a huge love for all animals and am very experienced with caring for different types of animals and breeds. I am patient, and gentle with a huge heart for animals. I understand every household has different culture. I always try and mimic all the rules of the home. Pets not allowed on the couch? no problem. Dogs like to sleep in the bed with owners? I am an expert puppy snugger. Perhaps the best. I will try and reinforce all commands and rules so there is a seamless transition upon your return. When dog-sitting in your home I will leave it better than I found it and happily respect boundaries and house rules. * My property is in Hilo but I am open to sitting at homes all over the island. In fact, I love to! I will text picture updates to my clients so they feel comforted that their sweetheart is being loved on. Why I love dog sitting: I had a Golden Retriever rescue for over 15 years till he passed 10 years ago. I travel a lot and didn't think it was fair to get another dog, but have been pet sitting since. I LOVE having dog energy still around... and the friendships I have made with my puppy parents. For my lifestyle it's the best of both worlds! I work remotely so am very flexible with my schedule and love having pets around to love on while exploring new and interesting locations on this beautiful island. My place is in Hilo but am open to doing pet sit stays all around the Big Island. Initial meeting can be done with a zoom call before meet and greet if too far from my area. I can also do house drop in visits if it coordinates with my location at the time needed. Right now I am primarily house sitting since my property does not have a fenced yard. I will match your schedule as best as possible and take care of your place the way you desire.

About: I have absolutely loved dogs my whole life, and would love to spend my time taking care of your dog! Whether its long walks, playing, running, or just spending some time with your furry friend. I have been walking dogs of all sizes for over a decade, and love spending my time this way. I have spent my whole life around dogs and have helped in training many dogs, including puppies. I am very active and happy to adjust how I spend my time with your dog depending on how active your dog likes to be - whether you are looking for long walks, runs, or just a short jaunt around the block. I am available anytime to walk or look after your pups! I look forward to making many new furrry friends and going on lots of fun doggy adventures! I am happy to take your furry friends on walks or adventures! I would also be happy to take care of them in your home.

I care for every pet like they’re my own. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, and lots of love and attention.

About: Aloha: My experience goes back to my childhood, where I helped my mother breed and raise Cocker Spaniel puppies. I have always owned animals, including cats during my college years, and our family has cared for goats, dogs, chickens, and rabbits. I am very comfortable with puppies and experienced in fostering their training process, committing to the consistency necessary for a dog's development. Furthermore, I have experience caring for elderly animals at the end of their life cycles, including administering medicine and providing extra care. I have also attended to animals with various injuries. My primary strength is maintaining consistent routines, which I believe is essential for helping an animal feel loved and safe. Regarding equine experience, I have basic ground work skills with horses and donkeys. As my children have been riding since age three, I have had many opportunities to groom, feed, clean hooves, and ensure there are no external injuries from the ground. I appreciate your time and consideration. Aloha:  Our ohana owns a 3-acre property on the Big Island, where we are blessed with three outdoor rescue cats, three rescue dogs, and two Nubian goats. As a dedicated mother and wife, caretaking is truly my blueprint. Caring for animals and providing house-sitting services for a "staycation" fits perfectly with my passion for animals. It also provides me with a wonderful opportunity to take some time for myself to relax and rejuvenate. I love to excercise walking dogs is my joy. I love to nurture and cuddle animals . I am a mama of 2o yrs thus I am always detail oriented regarding health. Our ohana is currently blessed with three rescue female dogs, three female outdoor rescue cats, and two Nubian goats. As they are a vital part of our family, they receive a high level of love and nurturing daily. My responsibilities and experience in caring for them include: - Daily Care: Managing daily feeding schedules and ensuring all animals are well-nourished. - Exercise and Training: Taking the dogs on regular walks around the neighborhood and maintaining up-to-date training. I have also personally trained our puppies. - Health and Wellness: Regularly checking all animals for health irregularities, administering natural medications when necessary, and staying current on goat vaccinations. - Goat Management: Grooming the goats, cleaning the barn, and providing them with nutrient-rich supplements. We take great pride in providing a healthy and loving environment for all our rescues. Please let me know if you need any further information.
