Dog Walkers in Heeia, HI

About: I used to always take care of my friends pets when I used to live in military housing, I’d take care of cats and dogs alike, some for weeks at a time. Pets are my favorite part of every day, I have 2 sweet kitties at home I hang out with, and I love them more than anything. I’m a full time student right now looking to help earn some extra cash while my spouse is deployed. I love long walks, or chilling and playing with cats and dogs to keep them entertained throughout the day. I have two cats at home so while I cannot board any pets, I do have a ton of experience with caring for various animals. I’m great at getting vomit stains out of carpet, and scooping up litter!

About: Aloha! I am a dog-loving, mom of three boys, two dogs, and a military spouse of 15 years. Being flexible and dependable is pretty much my lifestyle. I grew up with dogs, and I’ve personally cared for my own since I was an adult. I have also fostered rescue dogs for Okinawa Stray Pet Rescue. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, all sizes, and dogs from newborn puppy to 15 year old seniors with very limited mobility. I am probably over paranoid when it comes to safety, so you can trust that your dog will be in good, responsible hands! I understand that each dog is unique, and I treat each one as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident in who you choose to care for your fur baby, and I’m happy to provide what your pup needs! My only time constraints are shuttling kids to and from school and activities so I have lots of free time to spend with your pup! As previously mentioned, I am very cautious and your dog’s safety is my top priority. I have personally owned dogs who are “runners” so I’m constantly aware of my surroundings and the dog’s behavior when caring for them.

“I have waited to review MaryAnn until after 2 weeks of walking my lab Megan. She has been a godsend and treats Megan wonderfully. My wife and I can't keep up with the attention Megan needs as we got older than we expected due to circumstances. MaryAnn has been walking Megan regularly 4 times per week as we wanted, Megan has a big yard so she can get out as needed, but walks provide socialization that the dog needs. We are thrilled with MaryAnn and how great she is to our dog. Anyone wanting a really good dog walker would be lucky to have MaryAnn.”

About: Hello! I am looking to spend time with your furry family member! I have grown up with pets my whole life, so I understand the time and commitment it takes to love and care for them. I have experience walking dogs big and small so that I can take your pup for a short walk or long adventure. Looking forward to meeting you and helping out with all of your pet sitting needs. I currently work a hybrid 9-6 job. I am most free in the early mornings and certain days over the lunch hour or early afternoon. I am comfortable watching your pet indoors or outdoors, at the beach or at the park. I am very careful and good at following any special instructions or directions.

About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds for years and would love to be of service to someone who needs help on the weekends, early mornings, or evenings. I would be happy to sit and hang out with an elderly dog or take your active pup on a hike. When I’m not with your dog, I’m working at castle hospital, at the gym or doing photography. I work 8-4pm Monday to Friday so I’m open to early morning walks or evening check ins until 10pm. Open to flexible needs on the weekends and holiday coverage. I currently live with a husky so it would be best if I came to your home. Unfortunately, I am allergic to cats so I can’t be around them but dogs are okay!

“I was so fortunate to find Melissa on Rover. She has been caring for my dog Max for nearly 2 months, and has been terrific. Given her strong experience I feel very comfortable leaving Max in her care. She also sends the cutest Rover cards! Thanks, Melissa!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for the last several years—from taking care of my neighbors dogs when I was younger to owning my own dog! I currently dog sit for a family in the Kailua area :) Since I’m a part time nanny, I have availability in the mornings and afternoons (also late evenings) on weekdays preferably! Weekend availability is usually flexible of course! Whether it’s dogs, I love taking them on walks or throwing around a ball/toy with them! With cats, I love playing with them and just cuddling & petting them! I love keeping my pets at home company, so I’m pretty much the same as a pet sitter :)

“Such an amazing meet and greet with Keala and my Honey girl loved her! So happy to have met her and make this connection! Mahalo!!”

About: I got my first dog when I was 4 and started dog sitting for neighbors when I was 8. I worked with a group when I lived in Kansas City that did short term in-home dog fostering for 1 day to two weeks. My puppy experience comes from a few of my friends having puppies, but adult dogs are my favorite. I work full time from home, and can schedule walks in between meetings during the day. If the dog(s) are up for it I would love to take them hiking, SUPing, kayaking, to the beach, and to hang out with my friend's dogs. I prefer to keep the dog on a similar schedule to what they are used to and not overwhelm them with new experiences while their owners are gone. Please provide me with the needed information of your dog's routine.

About: Aloha! I’m an active, outdoorsy pet lover who enjoys walks, fresh air, and keeping dogs happy and engaged. I’m comfortable with high energy dogs that need exercise as well as more laid back companions who just want attention and care. Safety and consistency are my priorities, and I stick closely to your pet’s routine. Expect regular updates and lots of happy photos! My experience goes far beyond cats and dogs 😁 I’m currently dedicating my life for happiness in Hawaii with my dog (Kiba). Our day starts with a long walk on the beach in Kailua followed by lunch and studying (sailing & mixology) at a park and while the pup rests and between services i go to the gym. I meal prep most days so i have plenty of time to take care of pets! I offer dependable, in home pet care so your pets can stay comfortable in the place they know best (their home). I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress free as possible, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs, from high energy dogs that need exercise to more relaxed pets that just want attention and consistency. I’m attentive to details like medications, special diets, and behavior cues, and I always prioritize safety while I’m in your home. You can expect clear communication and regular updates with photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. I also treat your home with respect clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. My goal is simple happy pets, peace of mind for you.

“Awesome experience with Tony taking care of our pups. He was so sweet with them, and sent pictures every day to ease my anxious dog-mom mind. Communication was excellent, and Tony was flexible with taking care of each dog's individual needs and quirks. Would definitely use Tony and Karen again when the need arises!”

About: I’ve had experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages since I was a child. I currently have an energetic, playful 1yr old puppy of my own; who is a great play date if you want to tire your dog out! I’m in the process of training her right now, so I’m happy to help with any training in yours. Please let me know any special instructions, preferences, allergies, etc. I’m more than happy to accommodate! I have experience with administering medication, eye ointment, eye drops, nail trimming, ear cleanings, bathing and more. I currently work as a dental hygienist Mon-Thu so I have availability outside of that. I love to take my dog out on walks, hikes, beach and dog park so I’m happy to bring yours along or separately if you prefer. I treat others’ homes as if it were my own and with the utmost respect. I’ll happily follow your pup’s favorite routines and games. I have immediate access to a few very large grassy areas for play time but they are not fenced in. I have a small and Xl crate. Multiple leashes and harnesses.

About: I'm responsible, dependable and I love doggies I have never watched or taken care of other people's doggies before. But I'm willing to learn and have fun doing it. When my parents are away I watch my parents doggies. I'm looking for a second income because I live on my own. It's hard to live in Hawaii and not have extra income coming in. I just started a new job at Gyotaku in Aikahi Shopping Center.

About: I’ve grown up taking care of my two family dogs including walking, feeding, and playing with them. I enjoy walking and interacting with pets of all kinds! I’m currently home from college, so I am free to take care of pets during the week during usual work hours. I will also be widely available during the summer. For my dog at home, I walk, feed, wash, groom, and play with him. I am very experienced in this and I will try to provide the best service to my clients.

About: Aloha! Growing up in Chicago with a mom who breeds Australian Labradoodles, I’ve basically been surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses my entire life. I’ve been there from the first adorable yawn to the moment those pups head off to their forever homes (and yes, I always cry a little). Why should you pick me to watch your fur babies? Well, I’ve got a lifetime of experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. From the tiniest pups to bigger dogs, I’ve seen it all—and loved every second. Plus, I currently share my home with my own four-legged buddy, Kai, who can vouch for my top-notch belly rubs and treat-dispensing skills. Your pets will be in good, loving hands—maybe even a little spoiled! I work remotely at home so I’m able to spend a lot of time with your pet, giving them all the treats and cuddles they deserve! I have a dog of my own who is super friendly and loves making new friends to socialize with! They can play together in my home!

About: Hi! I recently made the move to beautiful Hawaiʻi, and I’m so excited to be part of this community — especially the pet-loving one! Living here has made me appreciate even more how important daily movement, sunshine, and fresh air are (for both humans and pups!). While working full-time in my professional HR career, I spent two years dog walking with Pups and Recreation because being around dogs truly fills my cup. It was never “just” a side job — it was something I genuinely looked forward to every week. Now that I’m settling into island life, I’m offering weekend walks and drop-in visits so your pup can get their steps (and sniffs!) in while you’re out enjoying your weekend plans. Whether your dog loves a brisk, energy-burning walk or a slower stroll with plenty of sniff breaks, I’m happy to match their vibe. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand that each one has their own quirks (which honestly makes them even better). I’m patient, attentive, and big on communication — you’ll always get updates and photos so you can feel totally at ease. If your pup needs weekend adventure walks, potty breaks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’m your girl. I’ll treat them like my own — belly rubs included. Can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐶🌴 I work full-time Monday through Friday, which is why I dedicate my weekends to pet care! 🐾 I’m available for weekend walks and drop-in visits only, and I have full flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays to meet your needs. Whether you need an early morning walk, mid-day drop-in, evening potty break, or multiple visits in one day, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule. Because I intentionally keep my weekends open for pet care, your pup will have my full attention — no rushing between commitments. I love spending my weekends outside, so dog walks fit naturally into my routine here in Hawaiʻi. If you’re looking for reliable, communicative, and flexible weekend care, I’d love to help! I always start by making sure your pet feels comfortable with me. I take my cues from them and move at their pace — building trust first is always my priority. If your dog is treat-motivated, I’m happy to use positive reinforcement (with your permission) to help with things like getting their leash on or easing into our walk. If they’re more independent or prefer to warm up slowly, I respect that and give them the space they need. For pups who love being outdoors, we can spend time playing and getting energy out in the yard. If they’re more companion-oriented, I’m just as happy hanging out, offering attention, belly rubs, or calm company. Every visit is tailored to your dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. My goal is for them to feel safe, understood, and happy — and for you to feel completely confident while they’re in my care.

About: I have had a dog as a pet in my life since I was born, and I volunteered at the local humane society for a summer after sophomore year of high school. I have been a dog sitter multiple times including twice for longer than 2 weeks. Over one of those two week periods the poor boy had a UTI so I had to make sure he was drinking water and taking his medications. Unfortunately I live somewhere that they do not allow pets but I am more than willing to stop in or stay at your place! I work 3 12 hour shifts and week meaning I have 4 days of free time to love your pet! It also means I have a flexible schedule on my days off! I care for your pets as though they are my own. We always use a leash for our family pets and ensure that they are safe at all times!

About: I specialize in dog playing. My goal is to tire your dog out so that when you come home they just want to snuggle. I have a dog named Muggsy that gets along well with all breeds and ages. I have a laser rocket arm built for fetch and the endurance of a camel for dogs that love to walk. I am willing to play and teach tricks, but I don't know magic. Frisbees... No problem I can chuck it. Tug-o-war... I hope your Dog is ok with losing. Big dogs or little dogs, fast dogs and slow dogs, I love them all just give me a call if your dog needs a buddy. Can't wait to meet your pup! I am available any time and any day. As long we can plan ahead I can help you out. First come first serve for the highest payer. I love all pets and I know that owners know them best. I will take care of your pet they way you request. I just want them to have fun and be safe.

“Ciera is such a champ! Walked my pupper in the rain and made sure he was clean before coming in.”
