About: Aloha! 🌺 I’m Callista and here to provide your pets, home and farm with exceptional care and attention while you are away. I strive to go above and beyond the typical pet sitter experience, ensuring you peace of mind while your beloved pet(s) are in my care. My background is in both healthcare and agriculture, allowing me to deliver professional, skilled and detailed services to varied animal friends no matter their size, breed, temperament, or stage of life! My Service Menu includes, but is not limited to: 🦮 Routine dog walking and reinforcement training 🏝️ Doggy Dates to the beach/park with enrichment activities. (Available to the greater Kona, Captain Cook area) ⏳ Drop-in Visit if you are away for an extended period of time and your pet needs a check in. 🏡 Professional Pet, Home and Farm Care-Taking I offer skilled home/farm care-taking anywhere on Hawaii Island! (Ask me about my varied experience and what I can offer) I love to keep you informed with pictures and updates as well as carryover any training or routines you are currently working on with your pet(s). I have experience in assisting animals who have health concerns, and provide detailed updates, photos and administer medication as needed. My hope is that when you return home, you’ll find your pets enriched and relaxed, and your home just as you left it, or shinier! ✨ 💸 If you are new to Rover, make sure to inquire about my $20 off code for first time clients! 🐩 I offer additional services such as grooming and nail trims upon request. 🐾 🎉 Locked in rates and discounts are available for repeat and routine clients. 💲Price is adjustable depending on each unique situation. Let’s chat about your pets needs and work from there! I spent my 20’s in Oregon working on organic farms, apiaries, goat dairies and wineries for crush harvest. I’ve been a homesteader and became known in my community as the local farm sitter! Into my late 20’s, I went to college to study Occupational Therapy. For the last 7 years, I provided rehabilitation therapy to my patients in the acute setting in the largest hospital system in Oregon. Now on Hawai’i, I knew it was time to combine my extensive experience in both fields, providing tailored services to meet my clients individualized needs. I work independently providing personal training, wellness coaching, and farm/pet care on a flexible schedule. I love exploring the island and care-taking your little corner of the world while you’re away, and helping you improve and meet your health and wellness goals while you’re here! Do inquire if you are interested in the 1:1 services I provide beyond what I can offer on Rover. Safety and trusting your pet in someone else’s care is of the utmost importance! Let’s start with a quick phone call and Meet n Greet so I can learn about your pets special and unique needs, and you can get to know me better too.

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, my love for pets is a lifelong devotion. I’ve shared my home and heart with dogs and cats throughout my life, and I’ve been a trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience with animals of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—including senior pets and those needing extra tenderness or special care. In addition to hands-on experience, I bring a calm, grounded presence and a deep sensitivity to the emotional needs of animals. I’m trained in energy healing and often incorporate gentle, calming energy into my care when appropriate—helping pets feel safe, seen, and loved while their humans are away. My approach is intuitive, attentive, and heart-centered. I treat each pet as the unique soul they are, and I feel truly honored to care for them. I work from home a lot and I have the freedom to be available and present full-time. I’m devoted to being with your pet providing all their needs. I prefer to provide care in the clients home but I can also bring your pet to my home. I have a big yard and a deck that is fenced. Pets will are welcome.

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’ve had all kinds of pets nearly my whole life—from dogs & cats to chameleons! This has given me extensive experience with animal care. Over the past 7+ years, I’ve also provided pet sitting services for friends, family, and colleagues, ensuring their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. I have cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, bunnies, rodents, and amphibians! I’ve also cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, from young, energetic puppies (who need as much extra playtime as they can get!) to anxious, shy, or senior-aged pets who require special care. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own! I am a full time student earning my Masters online through Liberty University and am self employed. My schedule is very flexible! When I do work, it is almost always during the hours of 8am-2pm, but the *days* I work are flexible, as are the hours I work (to a certain degree). When I am caring for someone’s animal(s), they have my full, undivided attention! Some may think of pet sitting as an easy job, and in some ways, that’s true. However, I take the responsibility very seriously! It is my goal to make sure you and your pets are as peaceful and happy as possible while being apart. I have a kitty of my own, and even leaving her when I go on trips is heartbreaking! That’s why, not only will I give your pets all of my loving attention and do my best to keep them happy, but I will also send regular updates and photos of them to you to keep you connected with them while you’re away.

“My dog loooooooves Erica! She is punctual and reliable and I can trust my dog is in great hands when we arent around. In a town where good help is hard to find, we are feeling super lucky!!”
