About: I’ve cared for two amazing dogs in my life for years. I’ve walked them, bathed them, fed them and gave numerous belly rubs :). I would love the opportunity to love on your dog as well. I have recent pet sitting, dog walking, as well as pet care experience. Changes that need to be made will be updated as needed in a timely manner. I am currently searching for full time work post graduation. The house sitting service would be at your house, and on walks I would always have your dog on a leash and under control at all times.
“Dogs thought Kaelyn was great (they're selective 🫠)! She was reliable and got the lazy weiner dog to actually walk on every walk. Hoping schedules work so the pups can hang out with her again!”
“Marissa is so kind to my fur babies. She responds to my questions and gives feedback on quality of walk. My boys are not easy and they have warmed up to her quickly. I am so grateful for her help”
About: I have either taken care of or owned pets my entire life. From dogs to turtles, fish, and cats, I have some experience them all. I currently do not own any pets but that won't stop me from taking care of yours as of they were me own. I am comfortable taking them on walks, changing litter, or simply being a companion while your away. Feel free to reach out today. I currently do not work. This leads to me having ample time and the flexibility to cater to you and your pets needs throughout the week. If there are rules or instructions given for the care of your pets, they will be thoroughly abided by. Every pet is treated kindly and respectfully as they each have their own personality
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am! I’m currently a proud dog mom to Coconut and Emmy, who have given me firsthand experience with everything that goes into keeping dogs happy, healthy, and loved. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every dog like my own. I understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable and safe. Whether your dog loves long walks, endless playtime, or just curling up for some cuddles, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them happiest! I’m patient, attentive, and committed to giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! As a dog mom to Coconut and Emmy, I’m used to planning my days around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure my pups get plenty of love and attention. I recently stepped away from my full-time job, so I now have a much more flexible schedule and can dedicate more time to caring for pets. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m happy to work with pet parents to maintain their pets’ usual routines. My goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I understand that every dog has their own personality, preferences, and routine, so I do my best to make their stay feel like a home away from home. I live in a two-story home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor playtime and fresh air. I also have two friendly dogs of my own, Coconut and Emmy, who do best when introduced to new friends in a neutral environment. Before boarding, I like to arrange a meet-and-greet at the park near my home to make sure everyone is comfortable together. My home also has multiple bedrooms, allowing me to give dogs their own space whenever needed. If a boarding pup needs to be separated from my dogs, Coconut and Emmy can sleep in my bedroom while I stay in the guest bedroom with our visitor. This way, every pup can have a comfortable sleeping arrangement and plenty of individual attention! When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also love sending photos and updates so pet parents can relax knowing their furry family members are in loving hands!
About: I've taken care of dogs every kind since I was 5. I’m attentive to signs of stress, dietary needs, and activity levels, ensuring that each pet feels balanced and well. Since I work remotely, I’m home 24/7, ensuring I can always keep an eye on your furry friends. This allows me to provide constant supervision, timely care, and lots of attention throughout the day, adapting to their needs seamlessly. In my home, I provide a cozy, safe, and pet-friendly environment with constant supervision since I work remotely. Pets have access to a clean, dedicated space to relax, play, and feel comfortable. I ensure they stick to their usual routines, from feeding and walks to playtime and rest, so they feel right at home.
About: Hi! I’m a dog mom to two small rescues and care for a limited number of small dogs at a time so each pup gets plenty of love and attention. My home is calm, safe, and perfect for small dogs who are used to being part of the family (couch cuddles included!). We have a small fenced yard, go on walks, and keep a relaxed, home-style routine. I know leaving your dog can be stressful, so I stay in touch with regular updates and photos. If you’re looking for a loving, reliable sitter for your small dog—I’d love to help! I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can adapt to any needs and schedule for your dogs. I occasionally run errands (grocery store, baseball practice) but otherwise I am home most of the time. I have a fenced in yard and can provide leashed walks as needed. If your dog is not crated when you’re away, it can be the same at my home. I can separate my dogs from yours when I’m not home if needed.
About: I have taken care of dogs or pets ever since I was 10. I have offered to walk and watch my neighbors, friends, and family’s dogs. I have experience in overnight care, dog walking, feeding, bathing, etc. I have one fur baby, Emmi. Emmi is a Jack Russell Chihuahua Mix. I once fostered a dog from the Hawaiian Humane Society while having Emmi around. Molly was a senior German Shepherd. In the past, I have cared for dogs, a guinea pig, a bunny, and a turtle. In the future, I would love to grow my fur family and share my unconditional love with them. I have a huge heart for animals especially dogs! I am currently a preschool teacher and I usually have the weekends off. After work, I enjoy spending time with my dog by walking, playing, going on car rides, and cuddling on the couch. I always make time for my fur baby and I am willing to do the same for yours! I have a fenced yard and Emmi is super friendly. She gets along with other dogs really well and she is crate trained. She can be anxious or shy sometimes. She has been around many other dogs before and she is very playful towards them.

About: From the first day I was born, I was surrounded by cocker spaniel puppies of my mother's. I was raised to care of different types of animals from dogs, cats, fish, turtle, bunnies, and mice! I have a great fondness and love for animals, especially dogs. We lost our 9 year old Maltese last August and would like to take care and provide some love for other dogs. I've house-sit/dog-sit my neighbor's black lab since 2008, and occasionally dog sit my friend's Australian Shepherd-Corgi mix puppy. I've also house-sit/dog-sit my coworkers black German Shepard several nights last year. I'm sometimes described as a dog whisperer, as dogs have had a natural fondness and friendliness with me. I have a night job as assistant manager/server in DT Bellevue, but morning and afternoon are wide open to take care of your furry companion.
About: Hi Fur parents! I’ve grown up with cats & dogs my whole life and since moving out of my childhood home, I miss being around furry friends.

I’m available throughout weekdays at flexible times for your convenience. I have the basic skills necessary to keep your fur baby safe and comfortable. I will complete the essential tasks like feeding, filling water bowls, walking and playing with your pet if necessary. I understand having a pet is like having another child, it is the same amount of importance and level of care needed. When your pet is uncomfortable, playful, bored, or hungry I will act accordingly to each special fur baby.
About: I have 27+ years experience as a veterinary technician. I worked as the head of the surgery department at a 24-hour emergency and specialty veterinary hospital for 8 years (as anesthetist, ER nurse, ICU nurse, oncology, internal medicine, cardiology) and have been working in human medicine for the past 4 years but still do volunteer and per diem work as a veterinary technician at various hospitals and non-profits. I have experience with all ages, medical conditions, and sizes of dogs, cats, and birds. I am experienced and capable of medicating and caring for pets with health conditions and special needs - from birth to end of life, I have been with them every step of the way. At one of my previous veterinary hospitals, I was given special permission by owners to take their dogs who were boarding for extended periods to the nearby dog park. I enjoy documenting every pet's fun via video and pictures and sending them to their families. I have personally called fish, hamsters, rabbits, dogs, cats, and birds as my family! Pets aren't just animals, they are family and I will treat them as my own. I am currently working part time while trying to earn my second degree in nursing so my schedule is fairly flexible. I am available any day of the week. I am unable to care for your fur baby in my home but while at your home, I will ensure every safety measure is taken. Your pet will be treated and loved as one of my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Makakilo
Sierra was amazing! She accepted my last-minute request and really helped me out when I needed someone to take Mochi for a walk while I was busy cleaning the house. She was very professional, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help on such short notice. I would definitely recommend her!
We couldn't be happier with Nicole Jane! She is incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive to our boy Koa's feelings and reactions. She truly understands his personality and knows just how to gently coax him along when he's not quite in the mood for a walk! One of the things we appreciate most is the thoughtful updates and multiple photos she sends, helping us feel connected to Koa even when we're away. We trust Nicole completely in our home and feel so fortunate to have found someone who genuinely cares about Koa's happiness and well-being. Her dog walking and pet-sitting services have been wonderful, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, trustworthy, and truly devoted to the pets in her care!
Shane was the absolute best! Our 80-lb Labrador Retriever, Dallas, absolutely loved him. From the very beginning, Shane made us feel at ease by keeping us updated with pictures and videos throughout our time away. Our biggest concern was Dallas’s strength and whether a walker would be able to handle him, but Shane had no problem with him at all. He was patient, confident, and clearly comfortable handling our big boy. Being away was hard because we missed Dallas so much, but knowing he was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful to Shane for taking such great care of our boy. We would absolutely recommend him and would definitely book with him again!
Lydia was awesome. She first met with my dog to see if she was a good fit for her, which was not a problem at all. Lydia was reliable and highly communicative, and Hina was happy and tired out after her walk—which is always a win with an Aussie! 😂 I felt comfortable knowing Hina was in good hands, and I would definitely continue booking with her. Highly recommend!
Arianna accepted our booking request on an unexpected short notice and we were so grateful for that as we were planning to leave for our trip. She took our 80 lb Labrador Retriever, Dallas, on daily one-hour walks while we were away attending our daughter's college orientation in Oregon. It's obvious how much he enjoys spending time with Arianna. Dallas will definitely miss her! I also appreciated that she stayed in touch throughout our trip and regularly sent photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with Arianna again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Dallas!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Makakilo. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
