Dog Walking in Kalihi-Palama, Honolulu, HI

About: I love animals, dogs especially. I am a volunteer at the humane society as a puppy washer, you can also find me wandering around each house petting the doggos. I once taught my dog to roll over in one afternoon. I have had dogs my whole life, but in my current apartment cannot have one. I love all types of dogs with all types of personalities, if he or she takes some time to warm up to new people, no problem! I love walking them, playing with them and seeing their tail wag! I love movies with a strong doggo lead, books about dogs, calendars with dog pictures, dog Instagram accounts. I just think dogs are just the best! I’d love the opportunity to make your dog’s tail wag!

“Our dog Bella loves Hayley and comes home very happy and satisfied after her walk. She is always on time and super reliable. She has made our lives so much easier and we are so grateful for her.”

“Booked Josie 2x a day while I was away for 2 days. I felt better knowing that Alika was in good hands and would get a good exercise while I was away for 1 night and 2 days. I also trust Josie to come in our home to get Alika while we are not there.”

About: Most recently in March 2022, I enjoyed housesitting a sharpei for 3 weeks. Before that I housesat a very adorable golden doodle for a week. In 2021, my friends would often leave their dogs with me when they would travel lasting from days - weeks. I recently completed the Google UX Design Certificate. Therefore, I’ll be job hunting full time; I have time throughout the day to walk, feed, and hang out with your dog! Since I will be housesitting, your dog will be familiar and comfortable in their own home, decreasing the possibility of anxiety and maximizing their comfort!

About: Hello, My husband works as a scientist and I work for the department of education as an athletic trainer. We have a 2 and 5 year old that love animals. I am comfortable giving injections or pills if need be. We like to stay as active as possible and go on hikes, beach, walks as much as we can. The area we live is safe and quite place. There is a duck pond right next store and a park right across the street. My husband and I have been pet lovers since we were kids. He was raised with cats, birds and dog. While I was raised with dogs. We recently lost our English Bulldog of twelve years and even though we would like to get another dog in the future we would be happy watching your pets in the mean time. We do have little kids. They are 2 and 4 years old. We would prefer to watching dogs that are use to little kids. I don't work till the afternoon so morning walks are a must. My goal is to tire them out in the beginning on the day. Your pets are like our family. They are allowed on couches and beds. They will be loved like I love my kids. thank you very much

“Ria did amazing. She is super friendly and engaging with my pup Archie. Archie sometimes needs a little bit to like someone but due to her positive attitude he loved her right away. The other day I was still at home when she picked him up and Archie was soooo excited to see her. She did great taking care of Archie and Archie was definitely happy after his walks. She is super responsive on rover and flexible with any extra requests. She always sends me picks of Archie being a big weirdo. I 100% recommend her and will book her services again.”

About: My lifelong immersion in animal care, having grown up with multiple pets including cats and a rabbit, means I understand diverse animal personalities and communication styles. I'm skilled at reading body language and adjusting my approach based on each dog's individual temperament and needs. As Ghost's dad, I bring hands-on experience managing a husky's unique energy and needs. This gives me practical knowledge of proper exercise routines, mental stimulation, and the special attention active breeds require. I have experience working with dogs requiring special care, having previously cared long-term for a Chow Chow with specific needs. This taught me how to adapt routines and provide attentive care for dogs with unique requirements. My background with multiple pets (cats and rabbits) means I understand different animal personalities and communication styles. I'm skilled at reading body language and adjusting my approach for each pet's comfort. As a UH graduate student, I'm detail-oriented and reliable. Being fully available throughout summer means your dog gets my complete, undivided attention. I provide photo updates and detailed reports so you'll know your furry family member is receiving loving, consistent care. As a graduate student currently on summer break from UH, I have the unique advantage of being completely free every day, all day, throughout the entire summer. This means pet care isn't something I need to squeeze between other commitments – it can be my primary focus. My open schedule allows me to: - Adapt completely to your pet's ideal routine rather than forcing them to adapt to mine - Offer flexibility for early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care - Provide longer, more attentive visits without rushing to my next appointment - Be available for last-minute requests or schedule changes - Give your pet my undivided attention during every visit Since I'm not balancing pet sitting with classes, work, or other major commitments this summer, I can truly dedicate myself to providing exceptional care for your pets. Whether your dog needs multiple walks throughout the day or your cat needs consistent company while you're away, my schedule is designed to prioritize your pet's needs and well-being. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar environment and routine: - I follow your detailed care instructions precisely, respecting feeding schedules, medication times, and exercise routines - I spend quality time playing, cuddling, or simply providing companionship based on your pet's preferences - I keep your home secure, bringing in mail and alternating lights if requested - I send photo/video updates after each visit so you can see your pet is happy and comfortable - I leave detailed notes about eating, bathroom habits, behavior, and activities

“Kristi was a fantastic dog walker! She put my worried mind at ease while I was on the mainland. She sent me pictures everyday and communicated about any concerns she noticed with my 12 year old furbaby. Happy loves her!!! They formed a sweet bond. She went above and beyond for him and I was so appreciative!! Highly recommend Kristi for any pet care. Her love for animals was evident. ❤️”

About: I’ve been caring for my neighbor's or family's pets for several years and truly love spending time with every one of them. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy senior dog, I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away like they’re part of my own family. I’m experienced with feeding routines, medication, walks, playtime, and providing a calm, clean environment. You can count on me to treat your pets with kindness, patience, and care. I work 3 or 4 days a week and on the days when I'm off, I'm available all throughout the day. On the days I work, I'm available for evening walks. I do not have pets in my home. However, if the client's pet need to be picked up in their house, I make sure to give the dogs some time to smell me and feel comfortable before going out on a walk.

About: Please message me between 8 am-8pm Rover penalizes me for not answering within an hour. : / thank you for the understanding & time your taking to read : ) I have taken care of my dog for 18 years, as well as many neighbors dogs. I know what medical signs to spot and don't mind going the extra mile for seniors. *if you don't think you can afford the rates let me know! I'm currently a substitute teacher and can choose which days I work. I leave at 7am & come home no later than 2/3pm. But my partner leaves around 10-12am so they will not be left at home for long : ) Essentially any instructions left will always be followed, if they are a dog who prefers walks we walk, if they lounge we lounge, whatever the dog needs or wants they shall be spoiled! Please note I only accept one fur family at a time so that everyone has the best experience.

“Sierra did a wonderful job taking care of my baby girl. My dog tends to not eat when I work a lot outside the home until I get home. Sierra stood by her and helped her feel comfortable enough to eat while I was gone after a nice little walk. I really appreciated how many pics she took and her informative summaries.”

About: Hi! My name is Allison, but you can call me Ali. My friends and family tell me I should have become a vet, not a nurse (for humans). I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and cats! I have always been a pet owner-- as long as I can remember, and have pet-sat many times for neighbors and friends. I am unable to have pets of my own at the moment, but I am always in need of an animal fix. I will treat your pet with as much care, love and attention as I would my own. I am a nurse, so my schedule varies-- just ask me and I will explain my availability and routine. I will be prompt with responses as I always have my phone with me and will check for messages multiple times per day. I can't wait to meet you and especially my next furry friend! I am a nurse, so my schedule varies (sometimes day shift, sometime night shift, sometimes weekends or holidays)… and it changes week to week. On my off days, I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I will take care of your pet as my own! I am flexible…Please let me know what I can do to make my time with your pet go smoothly!

“Great feedback about my dog's health”

Reminder: Unfortunately, I live in a pet-free apartment so the doggy daycare option is for me to go to your home and play al day with your fur babies!

“I book Madi regularly for walking of my dog Coke and she is great! She is always works to fit my schedule and be available, takes good care of my pup, and keeps me appraised of any issues (there are usually never any, but for example my dog at one point didn't want to walk bc his knees are getting old, nothing to do with the booking, and we were able to work together to find a solution). More than that, recently I got stuck for 11 hours on a layover returning home and my booking with Madi had already ended. I was so worried about my dog though being stuck inside for that long,and not being able to use the bathroom for 11+ hours, so I reached out to Madi and she made time to come let my dog out so he could use the bathroom while I was stuck away in another state in the airport! Thank you Madi!”

“Very dependable and punctual. She sends me plenty of pictures of pancho and goes the extra mile to make sure he’s safe and hasn’t gotten into anything he shouldn’t have. Never do I have any concerns when my dog is with her.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life. I have one dog in my home and he is friendly with all animals. We would love to host your baby in our home! I work from 9-5 and am home almost every weekend. My dog stays out in the house during the day but I am more than willing to accommodate your pets needs. I have a fenced yard and a large home. It is just me and my dog in the home. My dog is allowed on the bed and couch and yours is welcome as well.
