Hayley has been incredible with Coco! After several walks, it’s clear that she genuinely cares for our dog. She’s punctual, professional, and keeps us updated. Coco comes back from each walk happy and content. We trust Hayley completely and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker.

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: I’ve always loved animals and have about a year of hands-on pet care experience. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. By the end of our walk we’ll be best friends! I’m home for the summer from college! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I enjoy making time to care for animals. I have a flexible schedule and can help with walks, feeding, playtime, drop-ins, and giving pets attention and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive, responsible, and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any special needs.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a teen. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing my own dog grow from a puppy to senior. I have experience with adapting to each dog’s individual needs and with caring for senior pets. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with dog-sitting and walking. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and learning how to keep them engaged and happy! I’m currently working part time, so I am available on weekends and some weekdays for dog sitting. Weekday afternoons are usually best, and my weekends are typically open. I take the time to get to know each dog at their pace. It’s a top priority for your pet to feel safe and comfortable!

About: I grew up surrounded by animals, and from a young age I learned to understand their personalities, rhythms, and unique ways of communicating. That natural sensitivity isn’t something you learn later in life—it’s something you grow up with. I’m a geographer with studies in biology and a master’s degree in territorial development, which gives me a deeper understanding of animal behavior, environment, and safety. My life has always been connected to nature. I rock climb and hike regularly, so if your pet is active, I can offer exploration, movement, and outdoor experiences. If your pet prefers calm, I provide routine, stability, and a peaceful environment. I adapt with patience to every temperament, from the most independent and reserved to the most affectionate and curious. My experience as a teacher strengthened my empathy, calm communication, and ability to create trust. I can also administer non‑injectable medications and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel at ease. I chose pet care because it brings me back to what’s real, simple, and full of heart. When your dog or cat stays with me, they’ll be treated with love, respect, and dedication—like part of my ʻohana. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to whatever your pet needs. I’m available in the mornings, throughout the day, and in the evenings, including weekends. When possible, I also accept last‑minute requests. My priority is keeping your dog or cat on a stable routine, with steady company and a safe, calm environment. I only offer pet care in the client’s home and adventure walks, because I believe pets feel safer and more relaxed when they stay in their own familiar environment. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly as they know it—feeding times, medication, play, rest, and any special instructions. I respect your home’s rules and adapt to your pet’s temperament, whether they’re independent, shy, or very affectionate. I also offer adventure walks, ideal for active dogs who enjoy exploring, hiking, or releasing energy in nature. Thanks to my experience with hiking and climbing, I guide them with calm attention, safety, and responsibility. In both cases, I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My priority is creating stability, trust, and a caring environment wherever your pet feels most at home.

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

About: I’ve had pets at my family home since day I was born and I’ve taken care of various friends or families pets while they’ve been on vacations or in emergencies. I’ve raised puppies and kittens, so I have experience with younger animals as well. My baby back home in Minnesota is a Newfoundland, so trust me I’m ok with big dogs, and my husky is a ball of energy so I can take dogs with strength. I’m also interested in running with dogs! I currently am a barista at a Starbucks in Waikiki, and work 3-5 days a week normally around 30 hours, but otherwise I do online school; so I can do class from anywhere at anytime and have a lot of free time. My pets are used to having walks, or being in gated off areas. My husky is a sprinter so I’m good at being aware of what doors I’m leaving open and making sure she’s securely where she should be.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 15 years old. Back in Argentina (where I am originally from), I used to rescue stray animals, provide them with their first care, and help find them loving families for adoption. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy making them feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently working part time from home so I have plenty of free time to enjoy the outdoors and take care of your pup while you can’t! . There’s plenty of room at my house to play and there is a lot of beautiful places arround the neighborhood to go for a walk

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

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: I have a deep love and appreciation for animals, especially both dogs and cats. I currently care for two cats I rescued since they were kittens! I have been a loving caregiver for my guinea pig pet for 6 years prior with much love and dedication as well as taking care of friends’ dogs. As for my skills, animals tend to feel calm and relaxed around me & I have experience with grooming, walking, and feeding animals. I am responsible, diligent, punctual, caring, and patient. I love spending time outdoors in nature with animals. I enjoy the company of dogs and cats as well as playing with them. I am available in the daytime with a flexible schedule between 6am and 11am. Depending on your dogs physical activity range or exercising needs, I can customize the walk to be more active or more relaxed for them. I can walk your dog to Central Park depending on the distance or their favorite nearby park. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I have a flexible availability to care for your pet as needed, including house-sitting. With 1 week advance notice, I can accommodate to meet the care days you're looking for. I easily adapt to what your pet needs and actively focus on ensuring they have the best experience by starting with the basics of care such as having food, water, and toys available. I monitor their energy levels to see how they're doing and when they are ready for a walk or playtime, with a fresh water refill right after!

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. I couldn't ask for a better walker!

Penny is always so excited to see her and comes back happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s in such loving and capable hands. Sasha is reliable, caring, and truly goes above and beyond. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing dog walker!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review for Jadyn: Jadyn is absolutely amazing! I met her on a Wednesday and needed someone last-minute to watch Apollo on Thursday—she came through right away! She’s so kind, caring, and attentive, and Apollo loved her instantly. When my daughter accidentally locked our gate and Jadyn couldn’t get in, she stayed calm and found a creative solution (with my permission, of course!) to make sure Apollo was safe and happy until my daughter got home. She’s reliable, resourceful, and genuinely loves what she does. We’re so grateful to have found her on Rover—highly recommend Jadyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter who truly goes above and beyond! 🐾💛
