“Callista was a wonderful sitter for a sleep over , instantly bonding with our dog and providing updates at all the right times, allowing us to go away and feel our loved one is in safe hands.”


“An excellent experience! Faith went out of her way to accommodate us and she won our dogs over to the point that one wanted to go home with her. We will definitely use her again!”


“Chelsea is great! Animals were instantly in love with her. She’s very kind and loving to my high maintenance pups. Chelsea sent pics and was good about communicating with me. And the house was clean when we got home. So thankful we chose Chelsea !! I didn’t worry at all.”


“We hired Joy to care for our two dogs and house sit over the holidays. Everything went perfectly. Upon meeting Joy, I immediately knew she was a dog lover. She was caring, knowledgeable, and the dogs were definitely at ease with her. During our time away, she communicated well with us with updates and sent pictures of the dogs looking relaxed and happy. Joy took good care of the house… upon return, everything was as we left it… as well, dogs seemed calm and well taken care of. We will definitely hire Joy again and can fully recommend her services to other pet owners out there!”


About: I took puppy training classes with my dog when he was a puppy. We both learned a lot. I have pet sat for friends in the past and there was never any problems. I work full time but will be able to take good care of your pet or pets! I miss having my own fur child so this will be great for me! I will follow your instructions for how you want your pet cared for! I love walking with dogs and cuddling with all animals. I will treat them like my own!

About: I lived on a dairy farm growing up. Currently, I am a chicken mom of 3 silkie hens and 1 rooster. I can service the Hilo and Kona area, just reach out and let me know how I can help. I currently live in the Kurtistown and Kailua-Kona area and open to help with any kind of pet, not just dogs and cats. Currently I am a chicken mom, they are in a safe, enclosed area on the south side and will not be an issue with sitting services. My friend needed me to check on her chickens and other pets while on vacation after seeing a pig break in her coop area, and I was glad to help. I wanted to offer services to all pet lovers, including chickens as I know how to help with common issues such as sour crop, egg bounding, etc. I want to offer both, depending on where and the situation. Please let me know what your needs are. I am here to help :)

I'm available for pet care Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, with weekends and holidays available upon request to best fit your pet's needs. I prioritize your pet's safety and well-being above all else. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where your furry friend can feel comfortable and cared for. You can trust me to treat your pet like family, following all instructions carefully and staying attentive to their needs every step of the way.

“Lindsay did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Tucker and our house while we were away for a few nights. She sent regular updates, photos and videos of Tucker ,so we knew he was in good care and having fun. She also went above and beyond caring for our house; it was cleaner when we got home than when we left it. We will be using her again!”



About: Local to Big Island for the last 6 years, based in upper palisades but willing to travel up to 25 miles. I have 10+ years of animal experience - beginning with volunteering at my local humane society and animal shelters at the age of 16, to training service dogs for children with autism for National Service Dogs and later on becoming a certified dog trainer. While completing my undergraduate degree I worked at 2 different pet stores and dog walked & dog sat for cash on weekends. I have been house/dog sitting regularly for 4+ years for two local families - one of which with 3 elderly wiener dogs and the other with two high energy samoyed puppies turned adult pups. My undergraduate degree is in Animal Biology, and my graduate degree is in Animal Behaviour & Welfare - both completed at University of Guelph in Canada where I was born. Although my specialization was in African penguins, I have lots of love for fluffier animals too. I have worked in the veterinary industry for 3+ years as a vet assistant/technician, but since moving back to Hawaii I’ve moved into the tourism industry. I am comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and have experience working with dogs of all breeds and ages. I’m currently working part time in the tourism industry, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule to accommodate Rover care needs for my clients. With plenty of experience pet sitting and house sitting, I realize that every situation is going to be slightly different — I try to match what the pets are used to first and foremost, the walks pet owners tend to take their dogs on and do activities that are already a part of the pets routine. Though I never let dogs off leash while dog sitting, even if owners usually do; the possibility of losing a pet is not something I’m comfortable with, so better safe than sorry.

“Dani was absolutely amazing! Our usual sitter wasn’t available, I was extremely nervous and she was so sweet communicating thoroughly the entire time. So grateful she was available during the holidays and still able to enjoy her holidays! Cannot wait to utilize her expertise again! Thanks girl! ☺️”


“Our boy Ben has never been happier after Erica stayed with him while we were out of the country! I can’t say enough good things about how wonderful, caring and dependable she is! ❤️”


“Nathalie was an amazing dog sitting! She checked in, send photos and took great care of our dogs and house. She made sure our dogs had lots of exercise. I highly recommend her and will be using Nathalie again.”


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.

“Our house sitter/pet sitter was wonderful. S. Titania was very loving toward our two cats and two dogs. She administered daily medication to one of our fur buddies without difficulty. She spoiled them with massages, and belly rubs sending us pictures throughout the day. I would definitely schedule Titania again.”


“Gina was one the best dogsitters that has ever helped me out. I felt so at ease with her watching my quirky senior pup. she kept me very well informed, and was very communicative. you can tell she has lots of experience with dogs and that she is a natural doglover, and just a great person!! I highly recommend Gina and will definitely book with her again!”


About: Aloha, I’m Nina, your devoted Kamuela pet sitter. Animals are my way of life. I offer a complete package, treating your pets like extended family and your home with utmost respect. I tailor each assignment to your pet’s unique needs, be it a Great Dane or a tiny gecko. Beyond pet sitting, I cover home care – from gardens to livestock. I maintain routines, tend to details and create a cozy environment. As a part-time student in Physical Sciences and Nutrition, I blend my passion for sustainability into all I do. Your furry family is in excellent hands with my experience and empathy. Online classes grant me freedom to provide dedicated care for your pets while pursuing my studies. Balancing pet care is a breeze with my flexible schedule. I meticulously follow instructions, ensuring every detail is adhered to. I keep a watchful eye on your pet, providing supervision both indoors and outside. I create a serene ambiance to soothe your pet's nerves.

About: As a studying herbalist who works on a farm, not only will I lovingly take excellent care of your pets, but I can also tend to your plants! I have been taking care of my cat Sage for 9 years. I have three families who I pet/house sit for regularly over the past few years. From short stays to a month at a time, cats to dogs, I have plenty of experience, and am dependable, trustworthy, and caring. I am currently traveling during the off-season of gardening in New York and am on the Big Island in Hawaii for a couple weeks! I am not currently working, so my full time job would be caring for your pets! I am able to walk pets or let them out as much as necessary, and available to spend lots of time playing with them. My schedule is open with full availability during the week and weekends. I have been pet/housesitting for 6+ years, and will care for your pets in the comfort of their home with respect to your space so you have a clean home to return to.

About: Aloha! My name is Ashley and I’m the proud pet-parent of two dogs. I have never known life without a pet. Growing up, we had numerous dogs and cats, but we also had some out of the ordinary pets, too- pigs, hamsters, turtles, snakes, geckos, etc. Now, my husband and I own two dogs- a ten year-old lab-pit mix, and a two year-old cane corso. I know how important it is to keep them entertained and exercised and I instill the same care in other’s pets, as well. I currently work full-time Monday-Friday, so I am available to do evening walks during the week. For boarding/home-sitting, I am available on the weekends from Friday evening through Sunday evening or potentially Monday morning. I am a homeowner and know first-hand how stressful it can be to trust someone else in your space, but more importantly with your babies. I also know it can be stressful to your pet to have someone new in their home. I am a responsible and caring person, who follows directions well.
