House Sitting in Waikui

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. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding routines, feeding, walks, and house rules. I’m respectful in clients’ homes and always make sure dogs are secure, comfortable, and calm. I keep environments clean and controlled, and I treat every dog as if it were my own.

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 love dogs and have grown up with them most my life. I know the proper care and attention they need and sometimes might spoil my own pup a little too much. 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.

“Leana took such great care of, Watson. Kept him entertained and well looked after. I cannot think of a better person to watch my little guy when I’m away. Thank you, Leana. You’re amazing!”

“Great person. She loved our dogs and we needed that to entrust them into her care. She also was very responsible as she watched them at our house in our absence. I would recommend her to anyone who truly loves their dogs.”

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’m a lifelong animal lover and a devoted pet parent to both a senior Doberman and a cat, so I truly understand how much our animals mean to us. I’m naturally empathetic and very attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether that’s extra patience and gentle care for senior dogs, structured routines for active breeds, or calm, respectful companionship for cats. I have hands-on experience caring for older dogs and understand how important consistency, comfort, and emotional reassurance are, alongside the energy and enrichment needed for younger, more active pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. I have open availability to look after your pets when you need. I will have to slip away to care for my own pets every so often, but a majority of my day can be spent caring for your animals. At this time, I’m unable to host pets in my home, as my own animals are most comfortable without other pets around. However, when caring for your pet in your home, I treat them as if they were my own. I carefully follow all care instructions and routines, knowing how important consistency is for an animal’s well-being. I also understand that pets can feel lonely or stressed when their owners are away, and I make it a priority to provide comfort, reassurance, and calm, attentive companionship.

About: Aloha! I’m Nina — your devoted Kamuela pet sitter. Caring for animals is my way of life and my greatest joy. I offer attentive, full-service care that treats your pets like family and your home with heartfelt respect. Each visit is tailored to your pet’s unique personality and rhythm, maintaining their familiar routines and nurturing a sense of safety and ease. With years of experience and a deeply intuitive approach, I create a peaceful environment where your animals feel loved, understood, and cared for in every detail. Your furry family is in excellent hands with my experience and empathy. My schedule is intentionally designed around the animals in my care. I have the freedom to devote consistent attention to each pet’s needs and routine. I care for every animal as if they were my own. I follow your instructions closely and keep things calm and consistent so your pet are safe and relaxed. Whether we’re inside or out exploring, I’m always nearby, making sure they’re cared for and safe.

“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.”

About: Grown up with dogs & cats. I consider myself an animal mooch as I am always hanging out with my friends and familys dogs or Rover. due to my work lifestyle. I am a Firefighter / Emergency Medical Technician. Love animals and all that comes with it. I can take your pup hiking or just around the block depending on the circumstance. (Or type of dog). I live for the wild and spend most of my winter traveling & snowboarding. Cannot have animals myself due to my schedule during the summer time so I try to live through others pets haha. I promise great care of your pup(s) or cat(s) & the up most respect. Hope to be in contact soon! 🤙 I will be able to host again starting in October as I am currently moving houses Regards, Noah In my daily life it usually consists of hanging out and taking what I call my god dog (best friends border collie) on adventures or hanging out with her while he works I consider it my upmost priority to look after your animal, as it is my job for the time of the booking & a moral obligation.

About: I moved to the Big Island three months ago and caretake 7 acres with my fiancée Kindra. It’s been awhile since I’ve used Rover, but with my new free time and love of animals, I decided to get back on. My experience: since the day I was born I have lived with animals. My mother, being a veterinary technician with 20+ years of experience, always encouraged me to volunteer at the animal shelter by walking and feeding the dogs, cleaning their teeth and dishes, playing outside with them, and providing love and compassion. I love being outdoors and going to the beaches or local parks for walks and running, but also enjoy curling up on the couch and watching a movie with a fur baby to relax after a long day. A quick phone call to my mother allows me to ask any question about your dog or cat’s specific breed in order to better care for them. However, in an emergency situation, I am well equipped with the knowledge and confidence to conduct any first aid. My farm work schedule is very flexible and I have my own vehicle to get around at all hours of the day and night. As much advanced notice as possible is appreciated. Whatever is needed or requested, consider it done. I take the fur babies safety and comfort very seriously, both physically and emotionally. I treat every animal as if they were my own.

“Mariah was confident caring for our farm house, and our dogs were crazy about her! She communicated throughout the stay, and was a tidy houseguest, leaving everything cleaned and organized. We love Mariah 🐕♥️🐕 !”

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 pet sitting around the Hudson Valley, I live in Mount Tremper but work remotely, so I have flexibility to petsit around different parts of the Hudson Valley.

“Peach was so incredibly wonderful to have stay with our animals. Her warm energy, her commitment and communication allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing our animals were in great hands. Our animals instantly bonded with Peach and truly had such a great time with her! She played with Lou (our cat) and walked Yucca (our dog). We will absolutely be booking with Peach again!”

“Heather and Paul took care of our house, dog and two cats while we were away for three weeks. They provided daily photos and communications, and when we returned the house was in perfect condition, clean and picked up. They took great of our pets and we were very pleased!”

Charles H.

“It was awesome that she responded to our booking last minute, due to another rover sitter who cancelled last minute. Shawn was all that you can expect in a house/pet sitter. She followed the home and animal protocol and sent pictures and updates daily. I will be happy to book her again, our pets loved her!”

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: I take real pride in my work with dogs! Grooming, walking, playing and giving attention are things dogs always need and I am here to provide when life has your hands full. Look no further if you need someone to be a responsible friend to your furry family. I have your back 🤙❤️ Google "Spencer Earl Watts Hawaii" to learn a little more about me! I'm a children's book author, who tours doing readings of my book series at schools and libraries around the country. All that travel makes it hard to have my own pups, so I get to be the cool dog uncle out here on the island 🤙❤️ I'm currently working on my next two books from home on my beautifully mowed acre of land in Leilani, so I have all the time in the world for your dogs, and they have tons of space to safely run and play while you are away! I was a nanny for 5 children and 2 dogs for 5 years, then adopted my parents silver lab and Shepard mix for another 5 years. On top of that I've been sitting dogs while people travel off island for 5 years now, giving me 15 years combined of loving and caring for puppies and adult dogs alike. I can train, and reinforce good behavior, while help to curb bad habits, always doing so with love and compassion. Dogs are my favorite animal in the world. A large statement, I know, but it is the honest truth. All dogs love me, they are my best friends, and I take my job of caring for someone's animal like they were family and I was a nanny once again.

About: I've cared for many of my own dogs, cats, horses over the years, along with raising three children. I'm a model caregiver - responsible, trustworthy, mature, and kind. Call me to take excellent care of your 4-legged family members. I work remotely as a writer for a university, so my schedule is flexible. If I accept a pet care job, you can trust that I will be there for your pets. I will show up on time and honor your instructions for your pets. You can trust me to care for your pets as if they were my own.

“Nathalie was great! She took great care of our fur babies. She was kind enough to send occasional updates and pictures, which I appreciated. She took care of her home as well. I will definitely call her again.”
