Dog Walkers in Waimea, HI

“Kathy was an amazing help when we had to leave town for a family emergency. Our dog just loved spending time with her! It was nice to know he was well cared for so we could focus on family while we were away.”

“Sage is a natural dealing with a nervous working dog. She made my dog very comfortable and got her to trust Sage quickly. Mahalo!”

“My little guy is obsessed with his Auntie Gina. In fact every dog is obsessed with Auntie Gina, and she is mutually adoring. I’ve been friends with Gina for over a decade, and she has babysat multiple times in my home for Addison since I adopted him in 2015, most notably for 10 days during an international trip. I received numerous updates and photos of them having a ball together. Gina is truly a dog magnet and will provide excellent care for your pup, no doubt.”

About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets for over 40 years. I have trained all sizes of dogs for obedience and hand signal commands. I am assertive and confident with dogs to build trust and loyalty. I am also good with other animals having run a farm for over 20 years. There is a section on this profile that states I do not allow pets on the furniture.. That information is not correct...I can't seem to change it. I am retired and looking for part time work in the Waikoloa area. Caring for animals everyday is something I am good at and it would be a dream job for me I have a fenced yard and a large inside area for pets. I am able to come to clients home to care for their pets.

“Jeremy has watched my dog at his home countless times, and I know when my dog is in his care, she’s in good hands. Jeremy goes on multiple walks a day with her including on hiking trails and the nature park and has a fenced in back yard for her to roam when they’re at home. He has bathed her and has even taught her a few tricks! Also I like that he regularly sends me pictures of her while I’m away. Jeremy has also done drop-in visits for my cat and two guinea pigs, and again, I can trust that my pets are in good hands. I highly recommend his services!”

“Merrin has house-sat for us numerous times, and she is excellent, respectful, and quickly communicates, which is helpful! She has cared for our dog and cats, keeping our house clean, locked up, and safe. She also collected our mail; if needed, she would be more than happy to do a little shopping for us if we were gone for an extended period. I highly recommend her!”

About: Aloha! My name is Chenoa and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life! I grew up with cats, dogs, birds, and fish so I have a vast knowledge of them all. Over the years I’ve had Belgium Sheepdogs, Labs, Boarder Collies, “poi” dogs, and currently I own 5, yes, 5 Shelties! Shelties are best known here in Hawaii as the CPB bank commercial dog! They’re an active breed that requires lots of activity and of course, grooming. I am an active member of the Hilo Obedience Training Club, The Hawaiian Herding Dog Association, and am a board member of the Shetland Sheepdog Club of Hawaii. I have spent the last 7 years actively training and competing in obedience and rally trials as well as AKC dog shows. Caring for my dogs has taught me a lot-from administering medication, tailoring diets, training, exercising to grooming, this hobby breeder can do it all! I’ll tend for your special furry babies with love and care whether grooming, walking, or just keeping them company!

“Emma is great with animals of all kinds. She’s taken care of our family’s pets, which mostly include large dogs like Mastiffs & Great Pyrenees and small dogs like French bulldogs. This has gone beyond just basic care, including medication and transport as well. Overall, she’s very experienced when it comes to animal care and I would recommend her to others as well!”

About: I’ve grown up and taken care of big dogs most of my life. Also have 5 years experience on a hobby farm taking care of chickens, turkeys, Guinea fowl, sheep and dairy goats. I’ve pet sit cats and dogs of friends. I love animals and have yet to find one who does not like me back I currently work part-time and remote. As long as I have internet access I can be anywhere at anytime. My hours are fairly flexible and I am willing to commute long distance for house sitting. Drop-ins I prefer Kona area only but my schedule changes and sometimes can do drop-ins up to Honokaa. Feel free to discuss rates other than what is shown. I follow the clients home care instructions. They know their pet and their home. I currently do not have a living situation to care for pets at my own home.

“Annie has always taken exemplary care of our little critters, and is a reliable and responsible care giver. She has a sweet and loving personality that your pets and you will both appreciate. I highly recommend her!”

“Replied right away and was able to walk Raider on such short notice. Very cute photos of our baby dog on their walk. Great communication! Definitely recommend!!”

“It is easy to provide a testimonial for Chelsea when it comes to pet and house sitting. We had the best experience with her and can't recommend her highly enough. Chelsea's love for animals is incredible. She took the time to get to know our pets, and they loved her from day one. We felt at ease knowing they were in such caring hands. Not only did Chelsea take excellent care of our pets, but our home was spotless when we returned. Chelsea's communication was on point. She kept us updated with photos and messages, making us feel connected to our pets while we were away. She's punctual, reliable, and thoroughly prepared, leaving no room for worries. We can't thank Chelsea enough for taking care of our pets and home.”

“Viviana is an exceptional pet sitter who deserves every bit of praise. Her sweet and caring nature shines through in her meticulous attention to detail when looking after my cats. With Vivian, I never had to worry about my loved ones while away. She went above and beyond. I highly recommend Viviana to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. Five stars!”

“Noah is truly an animal lover. His kindness and empathy for dogs and cats is apparent in the way he relates to animals he is caring for. He is responsible and diligent while making sure that your pet feels loved - he treats each pet like it's his own. Noah walks my two dogs regularly, lets me know if there are any concerns and takes care to make sure they have fun but are protected. I highly recommend Noah as a pet sitter and dog walker.”

About: I have been taking care of other people's animals for almost 7 years! I grew up with cats, and got my own puppy about 1.5 years ago. I have loads of experience with taking care of animals, and know the time and effort it takes to keep you dog or cat safe and well-cared for! while i do work full time in Honoka’a, most of my days are free since i typically work the night shift! this means that i have ample time to take care of your animals and give them the attention they deserve while you’re away. Whether in your home or mine, i want your pet to be in the most comfortable setting while you are away. If staying in my home, there is a 8 month old Poodle also in the house.

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life from birds, fish, to dogs. Majority was my own animals, but I’ve also had a couple years of experience with pet sitting and care. Pet care is a part time gig at the moment, meaning my schedule is extremely flexible! If it’s set up ahead of time, we can find a time. I only provide pet care by taking the dogs to the park, and solely taking care of the pet at the owners home. My dog does not get along with cats, and dogs are iffy sometimes. For the safety of all animals this is the boundary.

“I am so grateful to have found Nina to pet and house sit! Nina is trustworthy, responsible, sweet, playful and gentle with my pups. She is the only one I trust to stay at my house and pet sit. My girls are super shy dogs but Nina has a way of bringing them out of their shell. They love her and I couldn't be more happier with her services. I now feel comfortable traveling without any worries. Nina is awesome.”

About: I grew up with a reactive dog so I have experience making sure dogs don’t end up in situations where they end up getting hurt or hurting others. I love earning their trust and I love getting to know them. I go on walks frequently would love company! I’m currently working at Starbucks 4-5 days a week, working early shifts. Im usually off around 2 if not earlier. My permanent off days are Friday and Saturday. I make sure no small toys/items end up within reach of pet mouths. I am aware of foods dogs can’t eat and have experience keeping 2 curious black labs safe from harms way.

“Jay combines compassion and firm discipline to help mold your dog into the perfect mannered and behaved pet. He understands what the dog needs and how to train pattern recognition so the owner can replicate the training to help dog and owner be the best team. You can trust him with your dog when your away. Very reliable and great to work with. Very good with K9s of all breeds.”
