Dog Walking in Hilo

About: Experience- I’ve worked at a dog/cat boarding kennel, and tropical fish farm. I have experience with big and small, shy and spunky animals of all ages. I currently have an animal rescue sanctuary at my farm and rescue animals from birds to cows! I have extensive knowledge in wound and illness treatments. I have owned animals my entire life so I'm comfortable with any situation that might come my way. About me- I’m currently a college student studying Animal science, I love to play tennis and go on runs with my dogs :) . I’ve lived on the island for over 9 years and help run a vacation rental located on my farm sanctuary! I study online so I’m 100% always available for your pets needs including; feeding, playtime, grooming, and medical treatments and appointments. I have my own car and drive so I’ll always be conveniently around! I would care for your pet the way I do my own, I respect their boundaries and always keep them comfortable. I have experience gaining trust from shy, skittish, and unfriendly pets. I always pay close attention to their needs and they will always be my first priority.

“Nicole is one of the most responsible and caring people I know. She has always been someone who cares deeply for people and their pets. She possesses strong attention to detail and has an ability to connect with many types of pets. I would highly recommend her!”

“Shannon is one of the best dog moms I know. Her French Bill dog is always clean, exercised, and happy! She use to be a ICU nurse, so I can’t imagine anything could make her overly stressed out. Would always recommend her.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life anything from cows and horses, to iguanas and bearded dragons, and of course family pets as well. I know how to handle and properly care for most pets, and I love interacting and getting to know new animals. I’ll treat your fur baby as if it was my own. I’m not to busy on the weekends or some of the week so I have plenty of free time to spend walking, playing with and having adventures with other peoples pets! I care for all pets with complete love and kindness, giving them lots of love and pets and also getting them treats if allowed by owners.

“Olivia was great and attentive to our fur baby! She was patient and utilized great training tricks with our puppy. Will definitely use her for future walks!”

“Jessie was amazing at walking and caring for my husky, Luna, while I was on vacation. She's super sweet and reliable. I'll definitely do a repeat when I leave for vacation again!”

About: I’ve always loved animals as long as I can remember. I have had a lot of pets ranging from a pony to turtles to cockatiels. I have four kitties that are my world 🌏 I’m always grateful for the opportunity to love on other animals too! 🥰 I have been a pet sitter on Rover previously when I was a travel RN in Seattle. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule. I have been a nurse for the last five years in oncology. I am taking some time for myself to rejuvenate. I prefer getting to build relationships with pets and their people. It’s great for all of us to have continuity of care. My kitties are family and I love spoiling them and making sure they have healthy lives. I also use Rover when I visit my family and friends on the mainland, and know what it means to have someone else make sure that they are well cared for until I get back.

“I have known Rizaly for more than 4 years. She has a lot of experience of taking care of pets such as cats while owning more than 5 of them at once. I’ve seen her really take the time to properly take care and show affection to each and every one of her household pets and am fully recommending her as a caregiver.”

“Myah couldn't be a better option for your pet care needs! She is extremely caring and I have never seen a dog who doesn't love Myah. She is studying to become a vet and has an incredible amount of experience caring for animals. She volunteered every single weekend in high school to work with the animals at the local Mill Rescue. She as taken care of my own animals when I was out of town. I couldn't trust her more, she did an amazing job. She is punctual, responsive, communicative and alert to your pet's needs. Not only will they be safe with her they will be cared for in the best way possible!”

“Zander is amazing with animals! My dog loved him immediately. He knows all the best places to walk a dog in and around Hilo. I would trust Zander with all my fur babies for overnight care, walks, or special needs. He’s great with communication and you’ll know your little one is loved and cared for.”

“Stephanie was great with Chewie. Thank you so much!”

“It gives me great pleasure to recommend Kara to care for pets. She is a true blue pet lover. Along with having her own cat, she has cared for my three cats in my absence. She would come twice a day to make sure they had their morning and evening meals. She is kind and caring. She is gentle and trustworthy. Any pet owner can feel comfortable leaving their pets knowing Kara will be there to look after their fur babies.”

About: Hi my name is Gabriella I have an energetic Goldendoodle named Teddy who loves to play! I love long walks and runs. I can feed, brush, bathe, play with and love your babies. I’m reliable and you can trust my mom and I to follow any directions regarding the care of your pets. You can also expect lots of photos! I have a flexible schedule so I can drop in while you are out or take your dog for a walk! I love all breeds and sizes! My big boy is 65lbs so I’m used to his strength. I love the little guys just as much! I do housesitting. As a house sitter I may leave during the day for a couple hours depending on the time your dogs can be alone and return at night to be with your babies. Any request for house sitting can be discussed before booking. (: Ive watched dogs for many years so you can trust me to look in after your dog. I also love dog walks. Sniffing is very mentally stimulating so I am very patient during walks to allow your fur baby to get the most out of their walk. You can trust me in your home and to follow all directions set forth for the car of your dog.

“Vanessa is the most loving and caring towards pets! She always treats every pet she meets as they were her own! You’ll feel safe trusting Vanessa with your pets!”

“Sarah was great at taking care of our dogs. She's really dependable. She would take the dog on a walk daily and always made sure to place with them as well”

“Rachel has been a pet owner her entire life. She is comfortable with cats or dogs, including large dogs. She will spend quality time with pets that she's watching and follow the owners instructions very carefully.”

About: I’ve grown up around 3 labs since my first memories, I was always there to walk, bathe, and love them. I then started professional dog sitting in college in 2018. I’m currently a travel nurse only working 3 days a week during the day, I have a lot of free time but I can’t make the commitment to having my own pet due to how often I switch cities. I always crave walking/ running with a dog as I go on walks/ hikes/ and go to near by parks to exercise. I’m very active so I can give your dog the best time! :) I don’t have any pets so your dog will always be alone and I always keep dogs on the leash and stay cautious and safe with fur babies, as a nurse I naturally play everything safe, stay careful but am nurturing and loving.

“Cimmaron is a true animal lover. My Senior Pup absolutely loves him because he knows how to be mindful and gentle with her. I've had her for 13 years now and there are very few people I trust to ensure her safety and best care. Cimmaron is absolutely one of those few people and for good reason.”

“Terese has been taking care of my poodle for years now and it is always such a joy to see them together. Sally gets so excited when Terese arrives for their walks and I can tell their walks together are the perfect way for Sally to get the mental stimulation she needs.”

“Mykala was so good with my dobie! They looked like they had a lot of fun and she was given extra love and attention. Highly recommend!”
