About: I have five years of professional experience as a dog groomer and a lifetime of hands on care with all types of dogs. My family has always had 10+ pets at a time, so I’m comfortable with every personality, size, and special need. I am currently working as a groomer at Happy Paws 808. I work 4-5 days a week. Typically 8am-4pm. I am open to make changes to fit your needs and schedule. I have an accommodating job. I always make sure your pet’s environment stays safe and clean by tidying up after feedings, walks, and playtime. You can trust me to keep your home secure. I double check doors, gates, and anything your pet could get into before I leave. Your house and your pet are treated with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Alexis was so good with my big boy! He took to her immediately. ? She provided great updates on how he was doing and took great care of him. Highly recommend her to look after your fur babies! I will definitely be using her services again.”
About: Friendly and Personal I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m great with puppies who need guidance and routine, and I have a soft spot for older pets who need a slower pace and extra TLC. I’m attentive, dependable, and always make sure pets get the right mix of play, structure, and comfort. I'm currently working part time so I will have lots of free time to spend with your fur baby ensuring they have a good time away from home. I have a fenced in yard and a pet friendly home. I will treat them like family in my home. If needed I can walk them and cage them if the service calls for drop ins.
“Arianna accepted our booking request on an unexpected short notice and we were so grateful for that as we were planning to leave for our trip. She took our 80 lb Labrador Retriever, Dallas, on daily one-hour walks while we were away attending our daughter's college orientation in Oregon. It's obvious how much he enjoys spending time with Arianna. Dallas will definitely miss her! I also appreciated that she stayed in touch throughout our trip and regularly sent photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with Arianna again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Dallas!”
About: I’ve had the privilege of caring for both dogs and cats throughout my entire life! This has given me experience with pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. My passion for animals extends beyond ownership, as I have also rescued and cared for both puppies and adult dogs, helping them adjust to new environments with patience, consistency, and love. I understand that every pet has unique routines, preferences, and emotional needs. Whether your companion is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or requires extra patience while adjusting to new surroundings, I take the time to build trust and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care! Accidents and unexpected messes are simply part of caring for animals and I approach these situations with understanding rather than frustration. I am completely comfortable handling cleanup, administering care, and adapting to each pet’s individual needs with kindness and attention. My goal is to provide a calm, dependable, and enriching environment where your pet receives the same level of love, respect, and care that I give my own! I believe every animal deserves to feel secure, happy, and valued, and I strive to make each stay a positive experience for both pets and their owners.

I maintain a calm, structured environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, and any special instructions provided by owners to ensure consistency and reduce stress for your pet. I’m attentive during walks, feedings, and playtime, and I prioritize safe handling in all situations! I keep environments clean and organized, including prompt cleanup of accidents and maintaining sanitary food and water areas. Pets are always supervised during care and I avoid unsafe situations such as off leash exposure or unfamiliar animal interactions unless specifically approved by the owner. Clear communication is important to me! I provide updates and daily pictures so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and doing well 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,469 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Akupu. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Akupu. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Akupu.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Akupu. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
