“Anna is always super helpful! I occasionally book with her to check in on my cat, Minnie, when I’m out of town. I also book with her to walk my dog Luka on days I’m gone at the office or plan to be gone for more than a few hours. She is great with both of them!!!”
About: Hi, I’m Mirian. As an experienced pet sitter, I provide dedicated care for dogs, cats, rabbits, and bearded dragons. Having owned two dogs, I understand the deep bond between pets and their families. I know trust is essential when choosing a caregiver. I am committed to offering your furry and scaled family members reliable, attentive, and high-quality care! :) Since I am currently working part time I thought this was the chance to make some money doing something I love, taking care of dogs! My schedule is not consistent but I normally work 3 days a week. My calendar will always be up to date so you know my availability! If you have any questions, always feel free to ask! Thank you;) When it comes to anyone’s animal, I will always treat them like my own. I will always be paying attention to what they do and how they react in situations so nothing happens. Takings walks, giving meals/medicine, cleaning up after them, making sure they aren’t in any danger, looking after them at all times, and being able to keep them comfortable with me is always going to be my priority.
About: Even at a young age, I have seven years of skillful experience in multi-species care ranging from shelter medicine, to low-cost spay & neuter services, to currently mixed animal practice. The last five years, I have been expanding my skill set as an employed veterinary assistant. With that, I am knowledgeable when it comes to medications, pets with special conditions and needs, and capable of handling emergencies. I’m currently working full-time as a veterinary assistant at my local mixed animal practice. With that being said, I am available only in the evenings on the weekdays that I work. However, I am usually available all day on Tuesday’s, Sunday’s, and most Saturday’s. I have one dog and one cat of my own who are both wonderfully inviting and playful with other pets. I offer both crated and uncrated time for my dog, and also your pet upon request. However, both my pets usually have full access to the house at all times.
About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large, strong dogs and older pets needing a gentler pace and I’m completely comfortable adapting to each one’s needs. Over time, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and understanding behavior are, whether that means handling high-energy walks, reinforcing routines, or helping a nervous dog feel at ease. What sets me apart is that I don’t just walk or check in and leave—I take the time to build trust, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care and pet sitting fit seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to be flexible and dependable for both regular visits and last-minute needs. With more availability during the current season and upcoming summer, I’m able to offer consistent care, longer visits, and more time for walks, play, and attention. This flexibility benefits clients by ensuring their pets maintain a stable routine, get extra exercise, and receive reliable, attentive care while they’re away, especially during busy travel months. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I’m respectful of your space, dependable, and treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own. When pet sitting, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things stress-free. This typically includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or litter box care, playtime or companionship, and any medications if needed. I also do quick check-ins around the home (like making sure everything is secure) and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep everything as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.

I care for my clients pets as instructed and love them as if they are my own. Animals rule the world here at the farm and are allowed on all furniture and beds.

“After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.”
About: Long time large dog owner with years of dog sitting, walking, and training experience. Do they have fur? I will love them. Do they not normally like anyone? They will love me. Facts.

About: I've taken care of my late dog Freckles for 14 years. Walks and feedings every day. Played with her as a puppy. I'm available any time except Thursday and Friday nights until 9 pm as I have a scheduled job during that time. I currently work part time and from home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your doggo. I will occasionally go out just for groceries. Food, water, lots of pets, cuddles and playtime.

About: Hi, I’m Amanda. I’m the owner of Unleashed Peaks, a full-time dog training and behavior coaching business built on calm communication, structure, and trust. Along with training, I also offer structured boarding and daycare in a peaceful, home-style environment where dogs can relax, play, and learn safely. Because I’m a trainer first, everything I do — from playgroups to potty breaks — is intentional. Dogs get enrichment, exercise, and clear routines that build confidence while keeping things fun and low-stress. I follow LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) principles to make sure every dog feels safe, understood, and respected. I love working with all types of dogs, especially those who need a little extra support or structure while you’re away. Whether your pup is here for the day or a full board and train, they’ll be treated like family. Quirks, goofiness, and all. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy, relaxed, and well-adjusted dog who’s had a fulfilling stay and maybe learned a few new skills along the way. I’m home full-time and spend most of my day working with dogs through my business, Unleashed Peaks. Because training and structured care are what I do every day, your dog is never left unattended for long and always part of a calm, consistent routine. Drop-offs and pick-ups are flexible - mornings and early afternoons usually work best, but I’m happy to coordinate around your schedule. Whether your pup is here for daycare or boarding, they’ll get a balance of play, enrichment, rest, and individualized attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care stay in a calm, structured, and enrichment-based environment that helps them feel secure and relaxed. My home is designed with safety in mind, with separate rest areas, and consistent supervision. We have 5 acres of land. Our fence is in progress right now but we have never had an issue! As a full-time trainer, I understand canine body language and group dynamics deeply. I make sure each dog’s play, rest, and social time match their comfort level. New dogs are introduced slowly and respectfully so they can settle in at their own pace. I keep routines predictable and communication clear so dogs always know what to expect. Whether they are here for a day or an extended stay, every dog is treated like family: safe, understood, and cared for.
“Stephanie really came through for us in super short notice. I have two pit bull type breeds and I booked her the night before we left with no way for her to be introduced. She came over and was really good at introducing herself and was not intimidated at all. Because of that my Pooh got two walks a day while we were gone on vacation. Thanks Stephanie!”
About: I personally have a German Shepard and a Chiweenie at home so I have experience with both big and small dogs. I usually take care of my parents dachshunds when needed. I’m currently at home while my kids are in school so I’ll be free during the day to take care of pets. I can do scheduled evening visits occasionally. I can walk, bathe, visit, play, give water and food, or take them outside if needed. I can provide treats on my visit and meet them so they can trust me.

About: I love pets because they turn my life into a sitcom. It's like living with adorable stand-up comedians who never run out of material lol I currently work a full time job. I always have the evenings free, no matter what day of the week. I work as early as 10am and as late as 7:30pm on certain days. Aside from those 40 hours, I have all of the time in the world.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 462 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Big Island. 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 Big Island. 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 Big Island.
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 Big Island. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
