“Patricia was a great sitter, she came and visited my cats and gave them attention, and when I came back they were happy, the water bowls and litter box was clean, and ultimately it was just a great experience! She sent pictures and updated me regularly, and I didn’t feel like I needed to worry about my kitties while I was gone. I would definitely use Patricia again!”
“Jessie is great! She does an excellent job taking care of my cat’s needs, playing and keeping me informed with photos. It’s such a relief knowing my cat is in good hands while I’m gone at work. Very much appreciated, mahalo”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my extensive hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and my ability to provide specialized care. I have a 10-year-old dog that I personally trained and continue to care for through his senior years, managing complications from old age and two ACL tears With dedicated rehab and treatment. In addition to this, I rescued two kittens when they were only two days old, bottle feeding them for months after losing their mother. I’ve also worked on a horse ranch where I trained and rescued horses, and took care of a range of animals, including pigs, goats, cattle, chickens, and more. My experience with hunting dogs and my background in animal rehab rehabilitation further sets me apart, as I understand, the unique needs for each animal, and I’m committed to providing the best care possible. Whether it’s specialized training, senior care, or helping with recovery from injury, I bring compassion, expertise, and a deep love for animals to every sitting experience. I’m currently a student athlete at UH Hilo with most of my weekday availability after 11am and I have a lot of availability on the weekends. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize respect and attention to detail. I always ensure your properties is treated with almost care, keeping everything clean and organized. I follow any specific instructions you provide, whether it’s maintaining routines, administering medications, or adhering to house rules. Your pets, comfort and well-being on my top priorities, and I make sure to create a safe, calm environment for them while respecting your space and preferences. You can count on me to follow through with whatever is requested to ensure both you and your pet are happy and at ease.

My oldest pup is 15 years old (I rescued her when she was 2!) and my youngest is 5 years old who I’ve had since she was a puppy.

“I am very happy with the compassionate nature of Vanessa. She takes exceptional care of my aged cat. She cleans up after him and makes sure his space is clean and ready. I’m so thankful for her care!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“I am very appreciative of Regan for watching our house and cat! She is a responsive, trustworthy, and kind person. Most importantly she doted on Anna and we returned to a very happy, well cared for cat. She also left the house clean and tidy. I especially appreciated that she spent so much time with Anna, and sent us some texts during the trip to let us know how she was doing. Will definitely be in touch in the future!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old for neighbors, friends and family. These people have relied on me to walk, feed, and board their pets. I have worked and volunteered at National Mill Dog Rescue for four years where I have enjoyed socializing with dogs in a kennel or play yard, command puppy parties and walks, and have lead outreach programs and events. I'm currently a junior in college who is unemployed, so I'll have plenty of time to walk, run, and play with your pups or kittens! My schedule is currently very open on weekends and during the week it can fluctuate with my class times. I can always make a house stop or walk anytime after 9 am. Home services are currently inactive. However I can provide pet care in the comfort of your home to be sure your pup is enjoying their stay while you're away.
“Liz took such great care of my kitten Figaro! She updated me with pics and videos while I was away. She was also so caring and attentive when his eye seemed to be a bit red. She monitored him and even went the extra mile to consult with a local vet to get an opinion. Don’t worry he was fine and good as new pretty much the next day! But she was great at keeping an eye on him and making sure he had a great time and great care while I was gone. I’d highly recommend Liz for anyone looking for some pet care and would definitely consider bringing any of my pets back to her in the future.”

About: I have cared for dogs for as long as I can remember. I was gifted my first dog at 6 years old, but it was until she had puppies that I really learned how much we can learn from dogs. I have cared for 4 litters of puppies throughout my life, but I am also familiar with adult dogs of all breeds. I have been my neighborhood’s pet-sitter for very long, but now that I have moved from my hometown I’d love to get to know some new furry friends. I am currently a student-athlete at UH Hilo, but I have pretty eventless afternoons along with some free days during the week and most weekends. I have a gate that will keep your pet in the safety of my home, as well as a lot of walkable, open grass areas to keep your pet entertained!

Wainaku cat parents share their Rover experiences
Patricia was an amazing pet sitter for our 3 cats while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. She gave them lots of love and attention, kept their litter boxes clean, made sure they had fresh water and food, and even sent us daily pictures and videos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. Highly recommend her!
Vanessa was great. We were comfortable with her as soon as we met her. She simply stopped by once a day for three days to feed our two house kitties, clean their litter boxes and check on their welfare. She shared pictures of our babies each day and gave us daily updates to let us know they were doing fine. She followed our instructions very closely and had a very attentive, professional and cheerful attitude. Our kitties agree. We recommend her to care for your pets.
Allison is fantastic with my 2 cats. She has been reliable, a good communicator, and I can tell that when I come home she not only followed instructions, but has gone the extra mile towards treating my furbabies with love. And she herself is a lovely young woman. I highly recommend her.
