About: My husband and I have always cared for and owned dogs, but we currently don’t have one and are missing our fur friends! I recently moved from England to Hawaii to join my husband here for work, and before welcoming a dog of our own, we’d love to spend time caring for yours! I will be the primary caregiver, as I work from home. Back in England, I looked after my mom’s dog almost every day for the past six years whenever I wasn’t working at the hospital, as I worked from home a lot too. I also regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs for overnight stays, weekends and holidays. In fact, I became the go-to dog sitter in our little English village! As a healthcare professional, I understand the importance of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and I bring that same level of patience, compassion, and commitment to every dog I care for. We know that every dog has their own unique personality and routine, and we’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and so loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, we’ll care for them as if they were our own! I (Carmen) will be the primary caregiver, with Cam (husband) home in the evenings for cuddles and post-dinner beach walks with us. I currently work from home, part-time as a UK-registered Dietitian. I’d love a fur colleague to keep me company! I walk, run or swim at the beach every morning or lunchtime and evenings too, and Kalama Beach is only a 10 minute walk from our house. My husband works with the military (he’s a ex-marine officer) so he’s not around as much but he would absolutely love doggy kisses to welcome him home after work. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a large shared yard that is fully enclosed, with two access points that we securely block off whenever a dog is outside, so they can enjoy the space safely under our supervision. We share the yard with three lovely neighboring couples who are also dog lovers, creating a friendly and welcoming environment. Our home is a spacious two-story, three-bedroom house with plenty of room for your pup to relax. After beach adventures or muddy walks, we even have two bathtub showers ready for rinsing off sandy paws and giving your dog a little spa treatment! We’ll follow your dog’s usual routine, provide lots of love and attention, and ensure they’re always supervised and cared for as if they were our own.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 6 1/2 or 7; they always gravitate towards me! Constantly caring for any lovely pets big to small in and out of my neighborhood from the age of 10. From senior care to newborns I’ve been pet sitting for a long while. Just because most dogs are bigger than me doesn’t mean I won’t tackle them so they get a proper brushing or a nice bath! Birds, Guinea pigs and bunnies, too. Since I’m currently unemployed my schedule is extremely flexible I'm available most weekdays after 9am. Weekend availability varies and will have to be discussed 1o1 I work extremely diligently with written rules and verbal explanations, I adjust to you and your pets needs and act accordingly. Im attentive and your satisfaction along with your pets health is my number one priority. I try to form bonds with any and all animals I will be spending time with whether it’s an hour or 2 days. I try to leave great impressions on the hearts of people and creatures

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. Both of my parents worked full time, so I’ve had experience taking care of my own dogs since I was a child. I’ve dog/house sat many family members’ and friends’ dogs over the last 10 years. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have experience caring for and walking dogs. I love all animals, especially dogs, and would take great care of your pet! I currently work full time fully remote. My schedule is pretty open after 2:00 pm each week day and I typically take my own dog on a long walk or to the park each day after work. I follow whatever rules are set and given to me by prospective owners. I love animals and especially dogs and shower them in love and affection. I always make sure to feed dogs according to their schedule and per instructions given to me.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life, and I have extensive experience in dog-walking and sitting, cat care, and home care, ever since I was a teenager. I love animals and am even a wildlife photographer. I have personal experience service training dogs for psychiatric service, as well. I am able to ensure not only premium, safe, and reliable love and care for your animals, but also your plants and the general welfare of your home while you’re away. If your animal has special needs or training curriculums, I am able to meet them, so your time away doesn’t become time off from necessary routines or specialized care. Additional services and excursions (hikes, dog parks, beach days, etc.) are available upon request. Mahalo for thinking of me for the care of your pet! I work part time in the evenings and am a member of a canoe paddling team that practices three to four times per week, so my schedule is flexible with plenty of time for your pets! Being a dog-owner myself, maintaining routines and going the extra mile for play and exercise is important to me. I am currently self-training my rescue for psychiatric service, so I am very comfortable working with dogs from a variety of backgrounds with different levels of confidence and social comfort. I have also cared for cats and am comfortable with their often varying levels of social needs, as well as their basic care. I will never use negative reinforcement with your animal, ensuring a gentle, fun, and trustworthy experience for your pet. Additional services and home care (plant care, delivery reception, maintenance/vendor monitoring, etc.) are available, as well.

About: Having the opportunity of sitting pets in their own place makes a difference in their adaptation while someone new takes care of them. sometimes is easier for puppies or older pets to adjust when they are somewhere they already know. I enjoy sleeping, playing, cuddling or just share space with them. Also i find interesting the way you can stimulate them with games or new activities I am a student at Chaminade university and take my classes in the mornings. Staying with them is better for me so my free time i can dedicate it to them. I been a dogsitter and nanny for about 5 years now and I love what I do!! I’m a very responsible person, with experience in house sitting, so take care of your pet in your home is not only about their care but the responsibility and the opportunity of a new place. I can send daily updates and always have emergency contacts to communicate if there was any irregularities. I will go over your specific needs and theirs as well

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds throughout my life. Within the past decade I have cared for those types of my family and friends' pets from pet sitting them at my place to overnight sitting at theirs, as well as my own cat, Pluto, for the the past 11 years. I am currently in school to be a counselor on Tuesdays and Thursdays and would like to use my Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and some Sundays helping people play or walk or spend quality time with their pets. For the past decade I have casually helped care for others' pets. The most involved care was a recent overnight-pet sitting for 15 days: Two adorable aussie shephards, which included all basic care (feeding, walking, playing ball, brushing, and washing) as well as taking one to weekly vet appointments.

About: As a dedicated dog owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment where pets receive the care, affection, and attention they deserve. I am responsible, dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, companionship, or simply relaxing, I strive to make every experience comfortable and enjoyable. I understand the importance of following feeding schedules, maintaining routines, providing regular updates, and treating every pet like a member of my own family. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. I currently work independently with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority throughout my day. I have the freedom to adjust my availability to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship. Since I manage my own work hours, I can offer weekday and weekend availability, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that fits your pet’s routine and gives you peace of mind while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family and deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet with the same patience, affection, and attention I give my own dog, Leonidas. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, I prioritize a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and daily routines. I also believe communication is essential, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel connected and reassured. My priority is building trust, respecting each pet’s individual needs, and ensuring they receive quality care and companionship while their family is away.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and intention I bring to each visit. I don’t rush through walks or treat them as routine tasks—I make sure your dog gets real engagement, structure, and positive interaction every time. Whether it’s a high-energy walk or a calm check-in, I adapt to what your pet needs that day so they come back happy, balanced, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to plan walks, drop-ins, and visits around the pet’s needs rather than forcing them into a rigid time slot. Since I’m already home throughout the day, I’m able to provide consistent availability, quick response times, and reliable scheduling for morning, midday, and evening care. I can also easily adjust my routine if a pet needs extra attention, a longer walk, or last-minute care. Overall, my flexibility lets me prioritize each pet’s routine and well-being while making sure owners can count on dependable, stress-free support. I care for pets by following their normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a calm, clean, and consistent environment while making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they’re used to. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions provided so nothing is disrupted. During visits, I focus on creating a safe and positive experience—whether that means structured walks, playtime, potty breaks, or just calm companionship for pets who prefer a quieter presence. I also make sure to communicate updates so owners feel confident and informed while they’re away.

“Kylie was extremely sweet and punctual (we met at the dog park). I needed help with taking Olive to the park due to a mild knee injury. Kylie was ready to help supervise Olive, who is still young and needs breaks during play to encourage good manners. Kylie would throw the ball and distract Olive as needed so she could engage in calmer play with other dogs. Kylie obviously likes animals and was warm to Olive who is a messy water drinking and likes to play with wet dirt cover tennis balls at the park.”

I’m a student that doesn’t work during the week so I have a lot of free time that i’d love to spend with your pup! I’ll take them on frequent walks and give them the loving they need:) I’m very careful with all animals as they can’t communicate their feelings to us. I’ll make sure they are fed, walked, and feeling that they trust me.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Maunawili

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Maunawili is $20 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,456 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Maunawili. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

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 Maunawili. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Maunawili after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Maunawili. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
