Dog Walking Mokapu

About: Aloha! I am a dog-loving, mom of three boys, two dogs, and a military spouse of 15 years. Being flexible and dependable is pretty much my lifestyle. I grew up with dogs, and I’ve personally cared for my own since I was an adult. I have also fostered rescue dogs for Okinawa Stray Pet Rescue. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, all sizes, and dogs from newborn puppy to 15 year old seniors with very limited mobility. I am probably over paranoid when it comes to safety, so you can trust that your dog will be in good, responsible hands! I understand that each dog is unique, and I treat each one as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident in who you choose to care for your fur baby, and I’m happy to provide what your pup needs! My only time constraints are shuttling kids to and from school and activities so I have lots of free time to spend with your pup! As previously mentioned, I am very cautious and your dog’s safety is my top priority. I have personally owned dogs who are “runners” so I’m constantly aware of my surroundings and the dog’s behavior when caring for them.

About: I've had a dog ever since I was about 6 years old. I'm just turned 25 so that's just about 20 years of experience! I've started pet sitting and housesitting when I was 15 years old. I have taken care of all kinds of breeds from goldens, to herding dogs, and (my personal faves) bully breeds. I can work with all types of temperaments and energy levels :) I am currently serving active duty in the Marine Corps, so my days can look quite different, which is why I prefer weekends. During the week days I have PT starting at 5:30AM and don’t get off of work until 4:30. However I do have a 2 hour window during lunch from 11-1, but that is not always guaranteed. On the weekends I am completely open! I go to church on Sundays but other than that I am available. For overnights I prefer to come to the house at least a day in advance in order to see where everything is and what set up the pet(s) have. During the stay I try my best to send updates with pictures to ensure the pet owner is kept in the loop on a daily basis!

“Kellie was such a life saver for our family! We had to leave island for a family emergency, and our main concern was our two rambunctious vizsla pups. Kellie took them on walks to the dog parks around base so they could really maximize their time together. We’re so fortunate that we booked Kellie. She was prompt, took lots of pictures, and helped us feel calm while we were away.”

“Loved having Lisa come play with our fur-babies! She was so great with them and they had a wonderful walk. She was so responsive and helpful! Will be booking with Lisa again for sure!”

“Katie is literally amazing. We just moved here and desperately needed a dog walker because we are at work majority of the time and she really helped us out. She’s able to take care of our older senior dog well also taking care of our rambunctious younger dog and I could not be happier she’s an amazing person as well as an amazing dog person.”

“Gabby is great! She’s quick to respond and is a very good communicator. My dog is older and takes a little bit to warm up to new people. Gabby is very patient with her and spends extra time with treats & cuddles to help her get more comfortable. I highly recommend Gabby!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 14 years of experience in dog walking & house sitting. My family has a 12-year-old Golden Retriever, and I’ve been involved in her training over the years. I’ve also helped a friend train their puppy under the guidance of a military police dog trainer. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and needs, from puppies to senior dogs requiring specialized attention and dogs needing extra care while recovering from illness. I prioritize every dog’s health, happiness, and safety, whether that means going on adventures, getting exercise, or providing a comfortable space to relax. My goal is to make every dog feel loved and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind! I recently moved to Hawaii with my boyfriend in the military and currently volunteer part-time at a local hospital a few mornings per week for four-hour shifts. Outside of that commitment, I have a flexible schedule and am happy to coordinate care around your pet’s needs. I’m glad to discuss specific days & times to find a schedule that works best for everyone! When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize maintaining their usual routines and providing a safe and comfortable environment. I follow each owner's instructions closely regarding feeding, exercise, training, and any special care needs. For dog walking, I prioritize leash safety and each dog's individual energy level and abilities. When house sitting, I treat every home with respect and ensure pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care while their owners are away. I also believe in keeping owners updated as appropriate so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands!

“Laura helped with our dogs when we were on vacation. We scheduled a time for her to meet them when we arrived, so they were familiar with her. She was awesome and took good care of our babies! It's obvious, she loves pups.”

About: I grew up with a dog myself and have a passion for animals in general. Over the past years, I have collected much experience house and pet sitting and treat every animal with loving attention and care. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I would love to pet sit for you! I work from home because I’m building my own business so I am very flexible and always welcome some pet and nature time. As I run my own business, I work remotely and have full flexibility over my schedule. This allows me to be available during weekdays and weekends. Caring for pets fits beautifully into my routine, as I love balancing time on my laptop with walks in nature and being around another heartbeat. I care for pets in my clients’ homes with the same respect and attention I would give my own. I am responsible, clean, and organized, and I treat every home with care and integrity. I follow all routines closely, keep the space tidy, and make sure pets feel safe, calm, and loved in their familiar environment. Clear communication and reliability are very important to me, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet and home are in good hands.

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’ve had dogs my entire life! Therefore, I’m very passionate on how a pet is taken care of. To love a dog from the beginning to the end of their life teaches you unconditional love and shows what a gift they are to us. I think a pets care should be taken as seriously as how you’d take care of a child. These animals are apart of your family and I think that’s how they all deserve to be treated! I’ve trained many dogs throughout college. I work remotely from home, my schedule consists of morning meetings and a couple hours of online work. Then, I spend most of my time at the beach or on hikes! Wherever I watch an animal, I have a few things I make sure of, to keep my own and other animals always comfortable and happy. Bathroom breaks are always taken as soon as morning comes, and right before bed. Bathroom breaks throughout the day are always before I leave the house, AND as soon as I get home. I believe pets should never feel the need to hold there bladder so breaks are frequent. As requested by owner, outdoor play or walking is a daily routine. By request, dogs can come along to hiking and beach activities if the owner desires!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets taught me that every animal has a unique personality, needs patience, and deserves kindness and respect. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs who require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. Friends and family have also entrusted me to care for their pets while they're away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I volunteered at a farm animal sanctuary on Oʻahu, where I helped care for a variety of rescued animals. I’ve also help to fabricate and fit animals with prosthetic legs and braces from my work experience as a Clinical Prosthetist/Orthotist at UCLA Medical Center and Shriners Children’s Hospital in Honolulu. That experience reinforced my passion for animal welfare and deepened my appreciation for the trust and connection we share with animals. Whether we're going for a walk, playing fetch, relaxing at home, or simply keeping each other company, my goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I believe the best care comes from treating every pet like family. Currently working full time but am able to provide care and help on my off days. I work mostly early morning to mid day or mid day to evening. I’m happy to coordinate with your needs. I would gladly provide photos and video updates on your pet so that you can feel at ease about the care they are receiving. I am good with communicating and am happy to be accessible via text, phone call, or FaceTime while providing care for your pet.

About: Aloha! I’m Ayla, a lifetime dog and cat lover. I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and always had the responsibility of feeding, potty breaks, walking, and grooming my fur baby’s! I’d love to help look after your pets and I will always make sure your pet is properly taken care of while providing lots of cute photos. I’m currently working part time and am a student - but I make plenty of time for furry friends! I do most school work from home so your pet will always be in good company. My schedule is flexible and can accept requests on short notice! I live in an apartment, it’s a quiet, cozy environment for your furry friend. No yard ensures constant dedicated walks and indoor play. Safe and cozy home for small/medium pups!

About: I’ve taken care of an 11 year old fur baby till her last breath and I am very patient with all the animals! I really don’t have special skills other than playing the ukulele for them and spending quality time :) Aloha! My name is Kapono. I am a huge dog lover who enjoys spending time with fur babies of all ages and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just extra attention, I’m here to make sure they have a fun, safe, and a happy time! I recently graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA and I have returned back home. I am a dog owner myself. I have a 9-year-old Fox Terrier Mix and my previous dog that I owned I took care of until she passed away at 15. I am patient, committed to keeping pet owners updated with photos and communication, and really enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality :)! I have a fenced yard with a grass area where dogs can explore around and/or use the potty. My house is ac so if needed, keep them cool :)!

“ICassie and Merit did an awesome job with my blue heeler service dog that has some anxiety. She responded positively to both of them in my room and even went up to Merit in my room where she is very protective. They learned the command and routine to work with her and she looked for them when they were coming. Great communication both bt phone and text so we were on the same page. I had a very quick space to fill and they went above and beyond in their work with Kaliko. I highly recommend them and will use them again without hesitation Mahalo for outstanding work”

About: Just an 18 year old who has a love and passion for all dogs. I have no job experience in pet caring but I grew up with dogs my whole life including caring to newborn puppies. My friends and family Have relied on me to feed,bathe,play,walk, and take care of their dogs. I have just finished my cosmetology course at school and currently waiting for my next school course to start. I am available from 6am-4pm on weekdays. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensuring proper feeding, exercise, and plenty of attention.

“Ashley is wonderful!!! She has incredible experience including training, working at the Humane Society, working with all types of dogs and challenging situations... that made me completely confident in trusting her with my pup Roxy. Ashley was very generous with her time to get fully oriented to Roxy's routines, which made me feel comfortable right away. After their first walk I could tell that Roxy had a wonderful time, came home happy and tired out. Roxy was instantly bonded with Ashley and was not searching for me as soon as they got home, and she was sad to see Ashley leave! I'm so thrilled to have found Ashley and look forward to being one of her regular clients.”

About: Aloha! My name’s Mackenzie and I genuinely love animals. I worked at a humane society in California where I grew up, and I’ve cared for many dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve lived on Oʻahu for the past three years, and I have two cats of my own. I also grew up around dogs, cats, and other animals, so being around pets has always been a huge part of my life. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, supplements, walks, playtime, and more complicated care schedules. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I treat every animal with patience, love, and attention like they’re my own 🐾 I work in Waikīkī, so I’m available for drop-in visits before and after work and on my days off. For boarding, I’m typically away for about 6 hours during my shift. Your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care before I leave and as soon as I get home. I’m happy to be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my schedule! I follow feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box cleaning, and any instructions carefully. I’m also very communicative and like to ask questions and be thorough so I fully understand your pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and in your home, so I always try to be reliable, respectful, and communicative. I currently only offer boarding for cats. Visiting cats stay in their own private room, completely separate from my two resident cats, to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. For longer stays, if both cats seem interested and ONLY if the owner is comfortable with it, I may allow short, supervised play sessions to help with enrichment and socialization.
