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!

Alex was great! Roxie had a fun time playing with his dog as well as the other dogs staying there. She was so tired when she got home from having so much fun. I don’t even think she missed us that much while we were gone. He has a nice big fenced back yard for the dogs to run around and play. Alex was able to send us pictures / videos to update us on how she was doing which we appreciated. I will definitely be bringing her back the next time we need a dogsitter!

Kathy is amazing. I feel like she loves our dog as much as we do. We left Meli with her for a couple weeks while visiting family on the mainland. Kathy was great at sending us updates and we could tell Meli was having an awesome time. We can’t thank Kathy enough for the piece of mind she gave us while away.

We were so happy that we found Diane. And glad that she opened her home to both our small dogs. She took good care of them and kept me posted on what they were up to. I even got photo's! Our youngest dog is only 16 months old and had never been left away from us before, but she felt comfortable and adapted to her new surroundings well, so we know she felt cared for. Diane's husband Jeff was also very helpful. We will definitely be using Diane's services again! Many thanks!! Aloha, Primo & Lola's humans!

Aly went above and beyond to make sure my dog was taken care of. My dog has anxiety and Aly kept me in the loop as to how he was doing. She sent photos and was in contact daily with me. I felt assured that Frankie was excellent care. I recommend having her watch your dog!

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.

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.

Wow, amazing! Super pet sitter! Christopher took excellent care of our cat AND our vacation home. Gordie, our cat, bonded with Christopher. He seemed to be sad that Christopher had to leave. Also Christopher identified, and cleaned up, the source of a musty, mildew smell we had been unable to locate. We returned to a fresh smelling, clean home and very happy cat. Thank you Christopher!

I have also worked and volunteered in several animal clinic and shelters, so I have over 10 years of experience with animal care both medical and caregiving. I have my own vehicle/insurance . I have been all over the country house sitting and have house sat for all types of homes from small farms to huge mansions. I have passive income aswell so I can also sit for owners that need someone home at all times or Majority of the time for fur babies that cannot be left alone. I am new to trusted house sitters. I also have reviews on airbnb. have over 10 years of experience in shelter, boarding, and clinical care environment. My family also has 3 pets, (2 cats and 1 dog), that lives at my parents house. I truly enjoy interacting with and caring for animals. I believe every animal should be treated the way you want to be treated. I do understand the necessary care for your animal. I know I will be a great fit for you and your pet. I am also am a pet/house sitter on house sitters of America. I have traveled all over the country pet sitting. I have reviews and references on the site. Skills and abilities: Feeding, playing with, walking and bathing of shelter animals, sitting with depressed or scarred shelter animals, Cleaning and disinfect cages and play area, Supervision of animals when outdoors, Managing animal supplies and inventory, Assist with adoptions and educating owners on care and handling of animal upon adoption.

I have open availability, allowing me to tailor my schedule to fit the routines and needs of my pet parents. Each sit is customized based on your specific requirements, ensuring the best care for your fur baby. I treat each fur baby as my own, providing them with love, care, and nurturing tailored to their individual needs. Some crave constant affection, while others prefer a bit more independence. Many pet owners notice that their animals respond to me in ways they don’t with others—I have a unique ability to connect with them on a deeper level.

About: My dog is my baby. If I could take her every place possible, just know she’d be by my side. She is my family. Let me take your dog out and treat them with as much love and care as I do for my dog💙 I wake up early in the mornings and take my dog out on a walk as well as when I get home from work. We take long walks and stop to take in all that nature has to offer. We often head over to the dog park to play with the other puppers and it’s her favorite time of day. My dog is currently indoors but I do spend quite a bunch of time outside with her as well. We have a small yard that we are planning on fencing in so my dog has more place to run and play.

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.

About: My dog of 15 years (lab mix) died a few years ago. I miss her, but travel a few times a year and don't want to leave a dog that long. I have lots of love to give and I love walking with a dog. I have extensive house and dog sitting experience with references. I send owners photos of their happy pups while caring for your pet as if were my own. I work at home (writer and online teacher) so your pet will be by my side during the day and we will take frequent walks together, if your pet likes that. I work at home and walk several times a day so I can bring your pet with me if they’d like to go for a walk. I’m also affectionate with animals, and they are affectionate with me so cuddles will be on the agenda. I have a park nearby and access to nearby home wirh fenced where I could visit with your pet so they could run around even more.

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.

Last minute I messaged Jeremy to watch Atlas and he accommodated us no problem! Very thoughtful about how to engage Atlas to shake off the first stay jitters, playing with his favorite frisbee. He has a great yard for Atlas, he loved the trees and bushes to sniff. Atlas was at ease and so was I. He even took Atlas on a walk through the neighborhood which was great because Atlas is working on his leash control. Overall super happy, we will be back!

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: 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 dog is my baby. If I could take her every place possible, just know she’d be by my side. She is my family. Let me take your dog out and treat them with as much love and care as I do for my dog💙 I wake up early in the mornings and take my dog out on a walk as well as when I get home from work. We take long walks and stop to take in all that nature has to offer. We often head over to the dog park to play with the other puppers and it’s her favorite time of day. My dog is currently indoors but I do spend quite a bunch of time outside with her as well. We have a small yard that we are planning on fencing in so my dog has more place to run and play.

About: My dog of 15 years (lab mix) died a few years ago. I miss her, but travel a few times a year and don't want to leave a dog that long. I have lots of love to give and I love walking with a dog. I have extensive house and dog sitting experience with references. I send owners photos of their happy pups while caring for your pet as if were my own. I work at home (writer and online teacher) so your pet will be by my side during the day and we will take frequent walks together, if your pet likes that. I work at home and walk several times a day so I can bring your pet with me if they’d like to go for a walk. I’m also affectionate with animals, and they are affectionate with me so cuddles will be on the agenda. I have a park nearby and access to nearby home wirh fenced where I could visit with your pet so they could run around even more.

About: Aloha! My name is Duncan Anderson, and I’m proud to say I was born and raised on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. Throughout my life, I’ve had the joy of working with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. I manage a three-acre homestead where I’ve gained extensive experience caring for and nurturing these wonderful creatures. In addition, I spent time working on a farm in Kohala, where we raised chickens and pigs. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of animal husbandry and farming practices. I’m passionate about fostering a harmonious relationship between humans and animals, and I look forward to sharing that enthusiasm with others. I prioritize your pet care whenever I can, fitting it into my daily routine with walks, playtime, and grooming sessions. Whether it's enjoying outdoor adventures or cozying up at home, your pet's happiness and health are always top of mind. I live on a three-acre homestead with plenty of space for walks and a spacious backyard where I can play with your pet—whether it's a game of fetch or just some fun and companionship.

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!

Alex was great! Roxie had a fun time playing with his dog as well as the other dogs staying there. She was so tired when she got home from having so much fun. I don’t even think she missed us that much while we were gone. He has a nice big fenced back yard for the dogs to run around and play. Alex was able to send us pictures / videos to update us on how she was doing which we appreciated. I will definitely be bringing her back the next time we need a dogsitter!

Kathy is amazing. I feel like she loves our dog as much as we do. We left Meli with her for a couple weeks while visiting family on the mainland. Kathy was great at sending us updates and we could tell Meli was having an awesome time. We can’t thank Kathy enough for the piece of mind she gave us while away.

We were so happy that we found Diane. And glad that she opened her home to both our small dogs. She took good care of them and kept me posted on what they were up to. I even got photo's! Our youngest dog is only 16 months old and had never been left away from us before, but she felt comfortable and adapted to her new surroundings well, so we know she felt cared for. Diane's husband Jeff was also very helpful. We will definitely be using Diane's services again! Many thanks!! Aloha, Primo & Lola's humans!

Aly went above and beyond to make sure my dog was taken care of. My dog has anxiety and Aly kept me in the loop as to how he was doing. She sent photos and was in contact daily with me. I felt assured that Frankie was excellent care. I recommend having her watch your dog!

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.
