Dog Walking Big Island

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly can’t imagine my life without them! 🐶 I currently have two dogs who had to stay with my father in Ukraine because of the situation there and I miss them very much. Spending time with dogs here helps me feel calm and happy — for me, this is more about companionship and love than money. Because of that, I prefer to care for one dog at a time and give them my full attention. I’m attentive, gentle, and very mindful of dogs’ emotions and comfort. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just quiet company, I make sure your dog feels safe and loved 💛 I’m currently working part-time, which gives me flexibility and plenty of time to focus on pet care. I’m easily adjusting my day to a dog’s routine and needs. I’m available on weekdays and weekends. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep a calm and clean environment, and avoid overcrowding. I prefer a peaceful setting where your dog feels secure, relaxed, and truly cared for at all times.

“Arabella was fantastic with my fur babies. Super reliable, communicated well, and really appreciated how affectionate she was to all of my fur babies. Definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 3 years now. I can do various things including walking and bathing almost any dog. Taking care of dogs is my job and I love it! My work schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to do walks/drop ins pretty frequently throughout any day of the week. My best times would be before 12 and after 7 but I can typically do times in between as well with enough notice I would care for your pet in any way necessary by following any instructions you can give me. With my experience, I know how to keep dogs safe and happy!

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with — and cared for — pets of all shapes and sizes, from dogs and cats to fish, birds, horses, rodents, and even reptiles. No matter who your furry (or scaly!) family member is, I’m excited to give them the same love and attention I give my own. Pet care is already a natural part of my day. I take care of my cat every morning and evening—making sure she has fresh water, the right amount of food, a clean litter box, and plenty of playtime. Since I’m already in a daily rhythm of caring for pets, adding walks or drop-ins fits easily and naturally into my routine. At home, my kitten is always the first one to greet me at the door, so I make sure she gets attention and reassurance right away. I keep her routine consistent—fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and lots of playtime and affection. When caring for a client’s pets, I’m very mindful of their established routines. I follow feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions exactly as given. I want every pet to feel comfortable and secure, so I do my best to maintain the rhythm they’re used to. Whether it’s my home or yours, my priority is making sure pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for.

About: I have always been an animal lover, and my job has shown me how to specially care for each and every special baby. Two years in veterinary medicine gave me the experience to confidently handle medications, diabetic care, and reactive pets. I adore even your misunderstood animals and would love to send lots of photos, videos, and updates on your pets if allowed! I currently work at a Pet Wellness Center, but my schedule is very flexible. My shifts are arranged to give me plenty of time to care for both my own pets and yours. In most cases, I can take time off if needed. I also finish work by 7 pm at the latest, so evenings are completely free if that’s what works best for you. When boarding pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where each animal feels at ease. I give plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles, and follow any specific routines or instructions from their owners. I also make sure they get proper meals, medication if needed, and regular bathroom breaks. I live in a very rural, quiet part of Bedford in the middle of the woods, so along with a large yard, we have many trails, with plenty of space to run or go on leashed walks! I love sending updates with photos or videos so you can see your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Ariane is amazing and wonderful with my pups!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years and have experience with dogs of all ages sizes and personalities. I own an 11 year-old dog that I helped raise and train, giving me a hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, and senior dog needs. I started caring for pets while babysitting and eventually began dog sitting for families in my community. I’ve provided overnight care drop in visits, feeding, walking, potty breaks, bathing, and plenty of love and attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and we’ll treat your pet like one of my own! Pet care is a regular part of my daily life and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Whether it’s daily walks or drop-in visits, I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure each pet receives the care, exercise, and companionship they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow the instructions regarding feeding, walks, potty breaks, exercise, medications (if needed) and any other specific care requirements. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention and playtime while their owners are away, my goal is to provide reliable care and give owners peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy and well cared for.

About: I have six years of experience caring for dogs, including my own and pets belonging to friends and family. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable following each dog’s individual routine. I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention while keeping owners updated with photos. My background in behavior has also taught me to remain calm, observant, and consistent with every pet. I work Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., so I’m available for evening visits during the week and have more flexible availability on weekends. I’ll always confirm timing in advance to ensure your pet receives dependable, unrushed care. I will follow your cat’s normal routine and all care instructions closely. I’ll keep doors and windows secure, refresh food and water, clean the litter box, provide playtime or quiet companionship, and send regular photo updates after each visit.

About: I stand out because I combine years of hands‑on pet care with formal training in progress. At home I care for a playful 9‑month‑old pup, a tiny 18‑year‑old chihuahua, plus beetles and bearded dragons—so I’m experienced with both energetic puppies and delicate seniors, as well as exotic pets. My dedication to animals has led me to pursue a future in the pet care service field. I have earned many certificates for animal care such as certification for Working with Dogs and Pet First Aid / CPR. I’m available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. -5 p.m. for dog walks, and during those hours I’m fully devoted to caring for your pets. While I balance family life with a child at home, pet care is truly part of my everyday routine—24/7 with my own animals—so giving reliable, loving attention to yours fits naturally into my schedule. I am a very “by the book” person who values safety, respect, and trust above all else. If I enter a client’s home, I make sure to only do what I am hired to do, treating both your pets and your space with the utmost care. My years of experience as a housekeeper taught me how important it is to be trustworthy and respectful of others’ belongings, and I carry those same standards into pet care. Loving animals is one of my core morals, and I would never jeopardize my family, my work, or your trust.

About: I worked for an Animal Hospital for 4 years and am familiar with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have dealt with some of the happiest and most anxious dogs and cats so I am pretty comfortable with anything. Will also give medication if your pet requires it. I have 2 dogs of my own who are very high energy, so I am used to that as well. I also deal with puppies and elderly dogs everyday so age is no issue. I don't mind any breeds! Small caged animals, fish, or some outside animals are no problem either. I hope you will choose me to check on your babies while you may be working or out of town for a while! Thank you so much guys! It will definitely depend on day and time but I am pretty flexible! I don't work quite as much as I used to but I do still work full time. I go by and do what I am told by the pet owner to keep the babies in routine as much as possible so they do not become stressed but with that being said I also am not able to stay all day or neccesarily the exact times you might due to also having a work schedule to abide by.

About: I have had dogs and cats as pets and watched after them all of my life. I have experience with basic care and needs, playing, bathing, and training dogs.

About: I love animals. I have been watching both cats and dogs for years. Anything from Long walks, simple feeds or just quality time that they love. I been animal sitting for years and have worked it as a side job off and on. Open schedule being at home almost everyday. I can take care of the fur babies anytime. who wouldn’t wanna spend time with the cute animals. Clients home I try to respect what the animal is used to. If a client tells me they can’t go upstairs, no upstairs. I’m not one to disrespect or mess up peoples homes. I try to just spend the whole time with the animals. In my home I care for many animals with different schedules and let them have space but also give them the attention all animals need. They are like our babies and I think animals need loved.
