“Hayley is excellent! I have never used a dog walker, but with Hayley's considerate and thoughtfulness towards Kyma in our meet and greet I was happy to try it for a week. Kyma was so relaxed after the walks. It's clear she had a good walk but she also recieved the special and knowledgable attention Hayley gives to pups!”
“First booking with Kaitlyn and just loved her sweet and friendly mannerism. The dogs loved her instantly during the meet and greet and I knew she would be a keeper! Definitely will be booking again with Kaitlyn! Dogs had a nice walk and Kaitlyn took good care of them.”
About: Hello, my name is Sydney and I'm born and raised in Honolulu. I've been taking care of animals my whole life. From rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, cats and dogs. I grew up with my Chihuahua Terrier and took care of her until she passed at 19 years old. I have experience in taking care of older or sick dogs and all their specific needs such as; giving medication, lifting and carrying to go potty (pee pads, or outside), carrying up and down stairs, administering IV fluids, cleaning up accidents, etc. You can trust me to take care of your babies with the most love and care. I know how difficult it can be leaving your furbabies with someone else. I will take care of them as if they are my own. I will provide updates, pictures and whatever else you need for peace of mind while you're away from your pet. SENIOR VISITS - for senior dog clients who cannot be left alone, book an hour drop in and message me with how long you'll need me to "babysit" and I can send you a price quote. For new clients we can set up a Meet & Greet and I can quote the price based on the work required. Please reach out with any questions. My heart is really with senior dogs since I have cared for my own senior doggy so I understand that sometimes they may need special assistance so just message me and we can make sure you and your animal are comfortable! I'm currently pet sitting full time so I will have plenty of time to take care of your furbabies! My full focus will be on your pets and making sure their needs are taken care of. Unfortunately, I am currently not watching dogs in my own home because I live in an apartment that does not have it's own yard for babies to run around in.
“I have been working with Isabel for several weeks as she has been helping me walk my dog on the days I work. She is very responsive and she always gets back to me quickly. She has been extremely reliable and flexible. She also is great at communicating her availability so I know what to expect way in advance. She takes great care of my nervous little dog and always gets the best pictures of him so I know he is okay when I am at work. Isabel is the best! Thanks for all your help Isabel, Louie looks forward to seeing you again soon!”
“Lyndi was awesome (as usual)! This is the third time booking Lyndi - she's always quick to respond, super dependable and I can tell my dog loves going on walks with her. It's not always easy leaving your pup behind when you go out of town but knowing Lyndi was there for him, put our minds at ease. She's absolutely amazing and I'm so grateful she takes such great care of our furbaby.”
“Amazing amazing amazing! I booked Nea very, very last-minute and she was able to accommodate! She took my pups on a hiking adventure. My Golden girls came back completely exhausted and happy. Will be working with her again very very soon!🥰💓🐾🐶”
About: I have taken care of pets for friends and family and friends of friends. Just like when I teach in schools, I provide a safe and welcoming space. I have experience walking, hiking, feeding, giving baths, giving medicine, and teaching new tricks to dogs. I have cared for cats as well. In my adult years I've had three dogs of my own and two cats. I have used Rover before for my dog, and now would love to provide great service for other peoples' dogs and cats, like how Rover sitters did for my dog. I value communication and look forward to sending my clients photos frequently of all the fun their pet is having when being taken care of by me. I have a baby, so I am home a lot. My schedule is very flexible. I can provide lots of love, playtime, and walks for your pet. If your pet stays with me, your pet will receive frequent walks as exercise is important to me for the pet's health and my own. Lots of love, treats, and cuddles to give here!

About: I have been an avid dog lover my whole life, growing up with many dogs in the home. As a teen I trained a golden retriever, Cooper, to be a therapy dog and he was the youngest golden ever to be certified by the Humane Society’s therapy program. I also worked at a vet office assisting staff with dogs in their care, taking them on walks, administering medication, and helping dog parents handle high energy or nervous dogs during appointments. During college I walked a local dog named Ridley weekly and when I moved to LA for a year I walked and pet sit a good boy named Prynce. I love walking and caring for dogs, it’s a joy to meet new fluffy friends and have a great time outdoors. I am a recent college graduate looking to start my career in wildlife conservation and am hoping for part time work while I apply to jobs. My schedule is very open! The safety of the dog comes first! I am very meticulous about following the directions of the owner and will always be available to call or text for any questions or updates on your pet.

About: For the past 4 years Ive worked In an animal hospital as a veterinary assistant where ive gained much experience In animal behavior as well as feeding, running clinical labs, drawing blood, giving immunizations, being knowledgable in emergency situations and overall helping our animal facility run smoothly. Im well experienced and capable in administering oral and injectable medications! Ive previously house sat/dog walked for multiple clients and I am looking forward to expanding my experiences! As of right now the longest ive house sat was 3 weeks for 2 cats and a dog! On the other hand ive taken a few of my high energy dogs on beautiful hikes such as Hanauma bay! Im currently a full time student and a full time worker! I usually work 4 days out of the week so dog walking services are best planned when I know the dates in advance. Additionally house sitting is available through all days of the week as long as my schedule is able to accommodate! Please feel free to reach out to further discuss future petsits! I dont offer pet sitting In my own home but when I do house sit for a client I absolutely will follow all precautions and rules you may have while still allowing myself and your pets to be in a comfortable setting! I am a full time worker therefore it's best to let me know your pets schedule to ensure I am a good fit with their schedule. If notified early in advance I am always open to adjusting my schedule to best suit your pets needs. Knowledge is key! I have experienced so much in the animal industry and I think it's best to know everything about your pet from their behavior, their allergies, their past history & your expectations.

Makiki dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ryan is fantastic. I've been wanting help with my dogs but scared to trust. I know I am not able to give them all the exercise they need. I fell earlier this week and was immobilized by pain. I found Ryan here, read his comments and reviews and contacted him. He stepped right up same day. My dogs have some separation anxiety and reactivity issues and Ryan handled it all beautifully. Ive used him twice already and plan to adopt him into our ohana.
Nea was absolutely wonderful - I needed someone comfortable with a larger, strong, and possibly excitable dog and she was so great and loving with our dog. She was so responsible, perfectly prepared and so accommodating of my requests and schedule. I feel so lucky to have found her, and I will definitely request Nea's dog walking services the next time we travel. Thank you so much Nea!
Dominique is the best! She has been walking my dog while I am at work for several weeks now and I will continue to use her in the future! She is reliable, she responds quickly, and she is always sure to let me know her availability as quickly as she can. I have really appreciated working with her and I know Louie looks forward to seeing her in the future!
Chase helped out with 4 last minute walks for Bella this week, and I have to say he went above and beyond! My little dog is usually very timid esp with new people but warmed up to Chase right away! He was very punctual, communicative, and took Bella on extra long walks around our neighborhood :) AND bonus, he even taught her to do a little “SPIN”! Would not hesitate to book Chase to care for Bella again!
I have hired Emma twice now and she is very good with my dog, Maple, It is obvious that she is a natural when it comes to animals. Emma is also very prompt, professional, and communicative. I have already booked her for future walks because I trust my dog in her care. TY!
