“Alika had a great time with Hailey and Ben. He came back panting with a smile and was lying down resting after they left. That’s what he needs a really good walk and to come back tired and happy.”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets since I was around 8 years old. I helped my senior dog when he couldn’t do things himself, as well as helped my relatives with their senior dogs. I’ve always been drawn to helping out animals, and not just dogs. I love all pets, no matter what size or age. I have patience and will take my time to make sure your pet is safe and well taken care of. I can do anything! Bathe, feed, walk, play, and more. I’m a fresh high school graduate. I’m going into college for veterinary technology so I can become a vet tech! Pet care will help me stay occupied while learning more on how to handle animals and prepare for my future. In my home/area, I will be able to feed, bathe, walk, and play with your pets in or outdoors. The same thing goes for my client’s house too, as well as making sure everything stays tidy while still giving your pet the care they need.

About: I’ve always had multiple dogs growing up and once I got out of grad school, I decided to get a dog to call my own. But I tell everyone that she found me, not the other way around :) From walks, to dog parks, to hikes, and many more, I enjoy spending time with dogs and seeing them happily play with their friends (both new and old). I have experience caring for dogs who are sick or who may have some anxiety. With that, I’m big on taking photos of pets, so you’ll constantly receive updates from me. I work from home full time and am able to take fur friends out on walks throughout the day. My neighborhood is very dog friendly and there’s always a new dog on the block to make friends with. I recently lost my fur baby of 11 years. I work from home full time so I’m able to care for your pup depending on their needs and how often they need to walk/be outdoors. I still have three beds to choose from so your pup will also be able to choose from that selection.

About: I am an adventurous, kind, intelligent, and reliable person who has a deep love for all animals! I have an undergraduate degree in Biology, wildlife experience with sea turtles, experience working as a veterinary technician, and am aspiring to get my masters degree in Zoology! I have had dogs and cats my whole life and have helped take care of them. I assisted my parents in raising their year-and-a-half-old Wirehaired Pointing Griffon with potty training, general obedience, walking, and hiking. I have experience as a veterinary assistant/technician at two different small animal hospitals, assisting with routine and emergency exams, diagnostics, treatments, and surgical anesthetic monitoring. This gave me a variety of experience caring for pets of varying ages, personalities, and breeds. I am comfortable with handling the medical needs of your pet and making sure they are well taken care of. I take care to pay attention to each animal's specific needs and personality to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. I love to cuddle, go for long walks or hikes, and enrich their minds with plenty of playtime. I currently work on-call at Turtle Bay 5 days per week and my shifts are no longer than 5 hours so taking care of pets easily fits in my schedule. Other than work, I am out of the house doing the things I love like hiking, swimming, doing yoga, and spending time with friends which are all flexible in my schedule. I treat each animal with respect, gentleness, and love. I take care to pay attention to the little details of animal behavior and my physical surroundings to ensure both the safety of myself and each animal. I treat your home and your pets' belongings with respect and value the trust you put in me to come into your space and help take care of your loved one!

About: I have a dog of my own, Maya, but she currently lives in Puerto Rico, which means your pet will be the only dog in my home and will receive my full attention, care, and one-on-one love. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Over the years, friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m very patient with shy or nervous pets, playful and engaging with energetic dogs, and gentle with seniors who need a slower pace. I’m attentive to routines and behavior changes, and I make sure every pet feels safe, calm, and loved while their family is away. Since I’m home most of the time, pets in my care receive lots of supervision, affection, and one-on-one attention. I adjust to each pet’s personality whether they need playtime, structured walks, or quiet cuddle time. What sets me apart is the calm, loving, and structured environment I provide. I don’t just “watch” pets I make sure they feel secure, comfortable, and part of the home. 💛 🐶🐱 I’m currently home full-time, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine, and animals are rarely left alone for long periods. I’m available on weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding. Because I’m home often, I can stick closely to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise time, and any special routines your pet is used to. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Pets stay indoors in a clean, calm, and supervised environment. I follow feeding schedules carefully, keep fresh water available at all times, and make sure pets feel relaxed and secure. I create a cozy but structured space so pets can settle in without feeling overwhelmed. If needed, I can use crates, gates, or separate areas of the home for safety. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to ensure pets are comfortable and stress-free. I also send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like my own. 🐾

About: From the first day I was born, I was surrounded by cocker spaniel puppies of my mother's. I was raised to care of different types of animals from dogs, cats, fish, turtle, bunnies, and mice! I have a great fondness and love for animals, especially dogs. We lost our 9 year old Maltese last August and would like to take care and provide some love for other dogs. I've house-sit/dog-sit my neighbor's black lab since 2008, and occasionally dog sit my friend's Australian Shepherd-Corgi mix puppy. I've also house-sit/dog-sit my coworkers black German Shepard several nights last year. I'm sometimes described as a dog whisperer, as dogs have had a natural fondness and friendliness with me. I have a night job as assistant manager/server in DT Bellevue, but morning and afternoon are wide open to take care of your furry companion.

About: I have taken care of my 2 dogs for the past 10 years and I have taken care of my neighbors dogs many times. I have a very needy dog so I know when a dog needs to go for a walk or needs food. My only job is pet sitting so I am extremely available as long as I have time to go on hikes or walks around the city. I walk one of my two dogs 4-5 times a day and I walk my other dog only once or twice a day because she is very old but I feed both of them 3 times a day. I only gives them baths when they get stinky.

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. My family dog, Buddy, is 12 years old, and we’ve had him since I was in 7th grade. Even after moving out, I still help care for him by taking him on his midday walks and spending time with him whenever I can. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I also understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet isn’t always easy. If I were hiring someone to care for Buddy, I’d want someone who is dependable, respectful, and keeps me updated every step of the way—and that’s exactly the kind of sitter I strive to be. I’m very communicative, flexible, and reliable. I’ll always follow your instructions, respect your home, and send plenty of updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and having a great time. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. Since I’m home most days, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home where they’re most relaxed. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime, walks, and lots of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and they are truly my passion. I care for their health and needs, possibly more than my own, and I will put in the same care and care into your fur babies! Connecting with each animal and earning their trust is my protocol first and foremost. I have a lot of experience caring for a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, and can provide personalized care while carefully following any instructions given. If you book with me I promise to earn you and your precious fur baby's trust! My schedule is very flexible as I work part-time remotely at the moment and I am also available on the weekends for any Rover bookings. At this time I do not offer pet sitting in my home but when in my client's home, my priority is providing a calm and safe space for the pets. I will follow all instructions given as well as any specific care instructions for those with special needs. My goal is to mimic the pet's normal routine as much as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I focus on building trust by respecting each pet’s comfort level and offering gentle, positive interactions while staying attentive to their needs. I also take safety seriously by securing doors and gates and closely supervising outdoor activities. My goal is to ensure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for just as they would at home with you!

Alika just loves his time with Josie. She is so very helpful, kind, and considerate. Love all the great pics she takes while on the walks. Most dog walkers take one or two. I get to see Alika run and play with Money, Josie’s dog and other fur friends he has at the park and it makes me very happy for him seeing all the fun he has.

KaVina is absolutely wonderful with my high-energy young dog. From day one, it's been clear she genuinely loves dogs. And my pup adores her right back! Beyond her natural warmth with animals, KaVina is consistently professional and communicative, always receptive to feedback, and thoughtfully leaves detailed Rover cards after every walk.

Rebecca is awesome! She is our regular walker, walking our dog twice a week. She goes above and beyond from what we expect. Rebecca always keeps us in the know when it comes to our girl. We completely trust Rebecca and know that our dog is safe, happy, and prioritized on her walks. Although we are currently taking obedience training lessons with our own personal trainer, our putty mix can still be dog reactive to certain dogs. We appreciate the extra effort Rebecca puts into Pili’s walks by also working on her training. We love her and highly recommend using her services!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Halawa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Halawa on Rover is $19 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $30 per walk. walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,468 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Halawa. 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 Halawa. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Halawa after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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 Halawa. On Rover:

  • 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
