Only YOUR pups!! Puppy Vacation:)

Pet care experience

I travel often and can't have our own puppy family so I will watch your fur-babies like they are my own. I prefer to only watch one pup (or pup family) at a time at my house or yours. This is a great fit for people who have dogs that are not other dog friendly/social and/or don't do well with children. Also, this is a benefit for dogs with health problems. I have been dog sitting on the side for many years now and LOVE it. Its like having an extended dog family:) I live in an off-grid cabin in a fruit forest. We are off a paved road, with easy driving access to our property. We do not have a fenced yard so pups would be in the house full time except for walks. I work from home so they will have so much attention. * pick up by 11:30am M-F late pick-up on weekends). * My house is in Keaau (Orchidland) about 20 minutes from Hilo and 15 from Pahoa town I love to send text picture updates to my clients so they feel comforted that their sweetheart is being loved on. Why I love dog sitting I owned a Golden Retriever for 15 years till he passed 3 years ago. I travel a lot and didn't think it was fair to get another dog but have been pet sitting since. I LOVE having dog energy still around... and the friendships I have made with my puppy parents. Its the best of both worlds:) Meet my pets * I currently do not own any pets myself. I occasionally have to travel for extended periods of time making it hard to be an owner but so very excited to have puppy energy around the house with sitting.

Jojo took great of our pups and our house! She sent pictures and updates regularly and the house was in better condition than we left it. My dogs love her so much, I swear they miss her already! Will definitely book again.

EXCELLENT SITTER! Jody was incredibly professional. She sent regular photo updates of my dog, Nohi, enjoying himself and looking so happy with her. She did an excellent job caring for my dog and went above and beyond the call of duty. I would highly recommend her and I will DEFINITELY be hiring her again next time I travel! Mahalo JoJo!!

Under very difficult conditions due to an extended stay on the Mainland for medical treatment, I entrusted Jody to house and pet sit for my dog, four indoor cats, and a small feral cat colony. I couldn't be happier with the service Jody provided. From our first virtual meeting, it was clear that she was passionate about animals and their well-being. I felt completely at ease leaving my furry family members in her care. Throughout the entire time I was away, Jody kept me updated with pictures and messages, which was really thoughtful and reassuring. She gave plenty of attention and playtime for my pets, ensuring they were happy and comfortable while I was away. Not only did Jody take great care of my pets, but she also kept my house in impeccable condition. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was clean and tidy upon my return, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, I highly recommend Jody to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy caretaker for their furry friends. If you're like me and have a hard time leaving your pets behind, rest assured that they'll be in great hands with this sitter!

I work from home so am very flexible with my schedule and love having pets around to love on while exploring new and interesting locations on this beautiful island. I live in Hilo but am open to doing pet sit stays all around the Big Island for an additional travel fee. Initial meeting can be done with a zoom call before meet and greet. I can also do house drop in visits if it coordinates with my location at the time needed.
