“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!”
“An incredible experience for both myself and pow pow amazing daily updates lots of pictures and a very happy dog. Will definitely have pow pow stay again. I think he felt like he was on summer camp, and basically joined the family.”
“Diane was a tremendous host. My dog, Buddy, was welcomed in by her and her ohana with open arms on relatively short notice without hesitation. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and wonderful person to watch your dog on Hawaii island.”
“Great accommodation for our dogs Shirley and Momo. They seemed to have a great time at summer camp with Julie! They got plenty of socialization with other dogs and Julie was very kind to provide us with updates, photos and videos of our dogs playing while we were away. Thanks Julie!”
“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!”
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.
“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.”
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: I’m an experienced dog lover with an 8-month-old Chihuahua named Molly, so I understand the care and attention dogs need. I’ve worked at Miranda’s Pets and for a dog adventure company, and I’ve also volunteered at the Humane Society, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I’ve walked and cared for neighbors’ dogs daily, so your furry friend will be in safe, capable hands. I love keeping dogs happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I work remotely most of the time during the week, so I am always able to take a break in the day to walk someones pets or drop in and feed the animals. I would not have clients pepsin my own home, I would care for the clients animals as if they were my own and treat the house with respect. I would always make sure I am meeting the animals needs.
“Top dog sitter I ever used. He sent loads of fun pix of Zoey. I was able to trust that Zoey was well taken care of. He was quick to reply to any questions. Definitely will be looking for him whenever Zoey is needing a sitter again. Thanks Zakk.”
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.
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 a lifetime of experience caring for dogs. I got my first dog when I was just 2 years old, my second at 3, and since then I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with seven dogs in total. What started as a lifelong love has become my full-time work. What sets me apart is my personalized, one-on-one care. I closely follow each pet’s routine, provide frequent updates, and create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I’m trusted, experienced, and dedicated to making every pet feel loved and secure I have a flexible schedule and dedicate myself full-time to pet care.

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.

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.

“My husband and I were nervous about leaving our 8 month old blue heeler with a dog sitter because we had never left him with anyone before. Zakk was a very soft spoken easy going dog sitter that our energetic blue heeler pup took to right away. Zakk met us a local dog park, and to our surprise, Jax hopped right into his car to go spend the day with him. Zakk and his dog played with Jax and him on a hike. When we picked Jax up at the end of the day he was exhausted and happy.”
“Hannah and Miles are such a wonderful set of aunt and uncle to Coco. Their house is dog friendly, likewise the yard. Coco loves to visit with them. Hannah's communication is wonderful and I hope we can work with her again sometime 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.

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. No minimum needed I strive for providing the best care and services available. I develop a relationship with each pet and treat them as they are my own.
About: I've had a deep love for animals for as long as I can remember. Since I was 13, I’ve been watching pets for family and friends simply because it brought me joy. By 16, once I could drive, I started offering my services to others. I have experience caring for a wide range of animals, including senior dogs, puppies, birds, cats, kittens, and even farm animals! I'm always respectful of your home and happy to care for your garden or plants while you're away. If your pet stays with me, please note that I have a small, senior female dog named Peanut. I also live with my mother, brother, and boyfriend, who all share my love for animals and will likely want to shower your pet with affection too! You can expect plenty of updates and photos (I want those pictures as much as you do!) I also have some experience in dog training, having taken several courses, and can assist with behavioral training if needed. While I can't guarantee a drastic change, I love practicing these techniques. Working from home gives me a flexible schedule, so I’m excited to get to know your adorable animals and provide them with the best care possible! I work from home on various online projects, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care for your pets. Watching your dogs brings me joy and keeps me balanced! When I care for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their regular routines to ensure they feel secure and comfortable. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise, always following your specific instructions. I do not have a fenced in yard, but am happy to stay outside with your pup if needed! I’m diligent about home security, making sure doors and gates are securely closed. I also keep a close eye on your pets’ behavior and health, addressing any concerns promptly. Trust is essential, so I maintain open communication with you, providing regular updates and photos. This transparency helps build a strong bond of trust and ensures you have peace of mind while you’re away.
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.

“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!”
“An incredible experience for both myself and pow pow amazing daily updates lots of pictures and a very happy dog. Will definitely have pow pow stay again. I think he felt like he was on summer camp, and basically joined the family.”
“Diane was a tremendous host. My dog, Buddy, was welcomed in by her and her ohana with open arms on relatively short notice without hesitation. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and wonderful person to watch your dog on Hawaii island.”
“Great accommodation for our dogs Shirley and Momo. They seemed to have a great time at summer camp with Julie! They got plenty of socialization with other dogs and Julie was very kind to provide us with updates, photos and videos of our dogs playing while we were away. Thanks Julie!”
“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!”
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.
“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.”
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.
“Top dog sitter I ever used. He sent loads of fun pix of Zoey. I was able to trust that Zoey was well taken care of. He was quick to reply to any questions. Definitely will be looking for him whenever Zoey is needing a sitter again. Thanks Zakk.”
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 a lifetime of experience caring for dogs. I got my first dog when I was just 2 years old, my second at 3, and since then I’ve had the joy of sharing my life with seven dogs in total. What started as a lifelong love has become my full-time work. What sets me apart is my personalized, one-on-one care. I closely follow each pet’s routine, provide frequent updates, and create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I’m trusted, experienced, and dedicated to making every pet feel loved and secure I have a flexible schedule and dedicate myself full-time to pet care. This allows me to spend quality time with each pet, follow their routine closely, and provide the attention, comfort, and care they deserve I care for pets with love and attention, whether at their home or mine. I follow their routines, give plenty of one-on-one attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Pets in my home enjoy a calm, friendly environment where they can relax and feel like part of the family. I adjust care to each pet’s personality and needs, so every visit is stress-free and full of love
