Dog Walkers in Kamuela, HI

About: With over 40 years of experience caring for animals, my love for pets is a lifelong devotion. I’ve shared my home and heart with dogs and cats throughout my life, and I’ve been a trusted pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors. I have experience with animals of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—including senior pets and those needing extra tenderness or special care. In addition to hands-on experience, I bring a calm, grounded presence and a deep sensitivity to the emotional needs of animals. I’m trained in energy healing and often incorporate gentle, calming energy into my care when appropriate—helping pets feel safe, seen, and loved while their humans are away. My approach is intuitive, attentive, and heart-centered. I treat each pet as the unique soul they are, and I feel truly honored to care for them. I work from home a lot and I have the freedom to be available and present full-time. I’m devoted to being with your pet providing all their needs. I prefer to provide care in the clients home but I can also bring your pet to my home. I have a big yard and a deck that is fenced. Pets will are welcome.

“Kathy was an amazing help when we had to leave town for a family emergency. Our dog just loved spending time with her! It was nice to know he was well cared for so we could focus on family while we were away.”

About: I've dedicated nearly a decade to working with animals as both a trainer and a zookeeper. My journey in animal care began over ten years ago, where I developed a deep understanding of animal behavior, training techniques, and the specific needs of various species. During my career, I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of animals, from elephants and beluga whales to snakes and spiders plus everything in between. This experience has equipped me with the skills to handle and care for animals of all shapes and sizes, ensuring they receive the best possible care. I'm well-versed in positive reinforcement training methods, which I use to encourage good behavior and strengthen the bond between pets and their owners. I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment for every pet in my care. Whether it's a fun day of play, a walk, or specialized training, I bring patience, understanding, and a wealth of knowledge to each interaction. Let me be the one to give your pet the attention and care they deserve while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently in between jobs so your pets will be my first priority as I take some time and determine my next career move. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. With nearly 10 years of professional experience as an animal trainer and zookeeper, I am well-versed in creating secure environments and handling a variety of animals with care and respect. I adhere to best practices and safety protocols to ensure that your pets are always in good hands, providing you with peace of mind. Building trust with both pets and their owners is at the heart of my approach. I believe in open communication and transparency, keeping you informed about your pet's activities and well-being. You can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and care as I would my own.

About: I started watching (overnight and taking on walks) dogs at the age of 11. I absolutely adore your furry friends, and can't get enough love from the pups. Since I don't own any puppies of my own (though I do get to watch and walk my grandmother's dog often), I absolutely adore getting to steal other peoples' pups even for just a few hours! I always send pictures to the owners, but you can tell me if you'd prefer less or more! Seeing as I am out of school, and don't work a full time job, am am available for a lot of hours. This being said, I have picked up a couple other gigs lifeguarding and babysitting, so I say I am not available for potty breaks less than every 8 hours just because if there are days I do both lifeguarding and babysitting I wont be able to. That being said, outside of those two gigs, your pups (or cats), are my top priority! Seeing as I am unable to host pets in my home at this time, I would be seeing the pets in your home. I am very comfortable with this, as I often sleep overnight at one of my friends family's house when they are away in order to watch their pups. I am also happy to water plants or anything else to be of help to you.

About: Leave your pets and home in loving care with me and enjoy your time away worry free! Hi I'm Tatiana and I love animals! I promise to treat your fur family like they are my very own and pamper them with love while you're away. My house sitting rates are for overnights only. That covers a 12 hour period. If you need 24 hours of care let me know and I will share those rates. ✅ I have no problem administering medications or caring for special needs animals, if needed. ✅ I have a great system for following pet routines, helping to keep young ones on track with their training and all pets comfortable in the routines they are used to. ✅ Dogs get special attention with me! If they are able, I will usually take them outdoors for some fresh air and fun! ✅ A free bonus your pets will receive in my care is a massage!! I am a Massage Therapist and one of the courses I chose while in school was Dog, Cat and Horse Massage. It was important for me to understand pain relief for my animal friends as well as my human clients. ✅ I have cared for animals for my entire life. As a child, I helped breed and raise parrots, cockatiels & finches. My personal childhood pet pack included a duck, a dog and a cat who were best friends. Followed by multiple cats, a turtle, a snake, three rats, two hamsters, three rabbits and three aquariums throughout my life. ✅ My Step-Mother rehabilitated injured wildlife. It became part of my passion as well, helping a baby squirrel, baby opossum, many baby or injured birds and a raven all make it back to the wild before the age of eighteen. I started pet sitting not long after that at the age of 22. ✅ I have managed properties and estates throughout my years, as it was something I was instantly great at. Being very organized and clean, a genuinely independent person who can easily communicate with contractors, problem solve easily for my clients when they aren't available, and communicate with great efficiency and clarity with my clients when needed, I have found that my clients are very happy with my care of their property while they are on vacation or away for a season. 💖 I have flexibility in my schedule making it fairly easy to work with me when I am available. My priority is making sure you and your animal family are happy. I do not care for pets in my home. I can and will come to you when my services are hired. I mainly service the Mauna Lani, Waimea & Waikoloa areas!

About: Aloha! My name is Duncan Anderson, and I’m proud to say I was born and raised on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. Throughout my life, I’ve had the joy of working with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. I manage a three-acre homestead where I’ve gained extensive experience caring for and nurturing these wonderful creatures. In addition, I spent time working on a farm in Kohala, where we raised chickens and pigs. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of animal husbandry and farming practices. I’m passionate about fostering a harmonious relationship between humans and animals, and I look forward to sharing that enthusiasm with others. I prioritize your pet care whenever I can, fitting it into my daily routine with walks, playtime, and grooming sessions. Whether it's enjoying outdoor adventures or cozying up at home, your pet's happiness and health are always top of mind. I live on a three-acre homestead with plenty of space for walks and a spacious backyard where I can play with your pet—whether it's a game of fetch or just some fun and companionship.
