Dog Walking Punaluu

About: My dogs have always been my best friends. I have had experience with small, medium, and large dogs. I am careful to listen to and respect the routine and rules that you have for your fur baby, no matter how big or small. I’m a big fan of taking them for walks on the beach and shady hikes! I also love a good excuse to drive around looking for a good place for my pup to stretch her legs, or be a good cuddle buddy. I am currently a small business owner in private practice as a healthcare provider. Dog sitting was something I loved doing for many years, but paused to do to care for my senior dog for the last 3 years. After recently losing her, and not being ready for a new love of my own, I’d be honored for the opportunity to care for your pet. I live in Kaaawa but am able to travel anywhere on island to care for your pet(s). Thank you for reading my profile, & I hope to hear from you soon! I work from home doing telehealth, largely from 11-4 M/W/F so I have lots of time and breaks to spend with your pet. I spend most days at home, able to provide exercise and maintain routine feeding throughout the day. I am used to administering meds on a schedule and provide frequent updates to owners (if they’d like!). I am careful to follow the house rules and your pet’s routine. I know it takes a lot of trust for someone to care for your fur baby, and I am a trusted member of the community. I am transparent about my stay in your home and understand it is a privilege to be there and be trusted to care for your animal. I provide lots of play time and cuddles! I always leave homes cleaner than they are left. My reviews are older because of the break I took from Rover to care for my senior pup, but I still value the same service.

About: I have taken care of pets for over 10 years now, both my own and for family or friends! I love hanging out with them, going on walks or runs, to the beach, playing fetch, cuddling in the yard, and giving them the love they deserve. I will treat your pet like it is my own! You will always come home to them happy and loved! I’m currently free all week mornings and afternoons. We can enjoy walks around the neighborhood, runs or swims at the beach, or fetch at home or the park. I always make sure to scan the surrounding environment to ensure the utmost safety and care. I make sure to avoid any uncomfortable situations for you or your pup or any mishaps with other dogs. I am trained to de-escalate high stress situations in a calm manner.

About: I grew up in a household that loves animals. I’ve always had dogs around whether it was my own or I was taking care of others dogs. I also worked as a bather for over a year so I have experience with all kinds of dogs, big and small, old and young. I am working a part-time job right now and would love to be able to spend time taking care of dogs on my days off. Since I moved away from home I’ve missed having dogs around I have experience in walking both big dogs and small dogs so I know how to handle either and I know how to walk multiple dogs at once if needed

About: i’ve been around pets big and small, from kittens to huskies, I love animals. I am a long term care giver for a Australian shepherd. i work part time, so on the days i’m not working i would love to get out and take a dog for a walk or two. I care for pets in a loving way, discipline can be very important, but i like to reward for good behavior and ignore bad, but of course use appropriate discipline when needed.

About: *Location: Hau'ula, HI* Registered Nurse for 10 years. Competitive athlete for 20 years. Throughout my childhood I grew up with Dobermans, Bichon Frise and Standard Poodles. I have unconditional love for all dogs and all their personality. Some breeds I've watched over the last 6 months include Rhodesian Ridgeback, Pitbull mix, French Bull dogs and Standard Poodle. I've trained dogs to swim and even surf. I am comfortable with post operative care and administration of medication. Pet sitting experience also includes rabbits, cats, exotic birds and small reptiles. Happy to spend time with your pet at any time of the day. Starting next month my goal is to transition to provide full time pet exercise service to the community. I enjoy going to the beach and being outdoors which is something I have found most dogs to enjoy as well. I can do as little or as much exercising as you request and the pup can handle. If they just want to cuddle and cruise I'm well versed in that program as well.

“Our 2 dogs had so much fun with Casey and her adorable dogs. They were worn out every evening (not a small feat). One of the days she wasn’t able to take them out due to weather, but she took them for double time the next day and issued me a refund for the missed day. I would definitely book with Casey again! Thank you!!”

“I have waited to review MaryAnn until after 2 weeks of walking my lab Megan. She has been a godsend and treats Megan wonderfully. My wife and I can't keep up with the attention Megan needs as we got older than we expected due to circumstances. MaryAnn has been walking Megan regularly 4 times per week as we wanted, Megan has a big yard so she can get out as needed, but walks provide socialization that the dog needs. We are thrilled with MaryAnn and how great she is to our dog. Anyone wanting a really good dog walker would be lucky to have MaryAnn.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life, but what truly sets me apart is my professional, hands-on experience working with them every day. I spent over three years at a dog daycare, where I grew from a daycare attendant to a dog trainer, and eventually became the daycare manager. This experience gave me the opportunity to work with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities in a structured and supervised environment. In addition to my daycare and training background, I have been a responsible dog breeder since 2022, raising four successful litters of Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers. This has given me an even deeper understanding of canine behavior, development, and attentive, hands-on care from early life stages through adulthood. I have a strong understanding of dog body language and behavior, which allows me to safely handle everything from high-energy dogs to more nervous or reactive ones. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and positive experience for every dog in my care. Dogs are not just a job to me, they are a huge part of who I am. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a Labrador Retriever, and they continue to deepen my love and understanding of what dogs need to feel secure, happy, and well cared for. When caring for your pet, I treat them as if they were my own. You can expect consistent communication, reliability, and attentive care throughout your time away. If you have any questions about my experience or would like to see if I’m a good fit for your pet, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love to connect with you. Pet care is a consistent and important part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule around providing dependable, attentive care, including regular feeding times, exercise, and enrichment tailored to each dog’s needs. While I do have dogs of my own, they are on a stable routine and well cared for, which allows me to plan my time responsibly and show up fully for the pets in my care. Because of this, I am mindful about how long I am away from home at a time, but I ensure that every visit and stay is intentional, reliable, and focused on your pet’s comfort and well-being. Whether your dog needs structured walks, playtime, or a calm and consistent presence, I am able to incorporate their routine seamlessly into my day. At this time, I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so that your pet can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take pride in following each dog’s specific needs, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, or simply providing a calm and attentive presence. I am very mindful of safety, structure, and reading dog body language to ensure your pet feels secure and well cared for at all times. If your dog enjoys walks, I am happy to take them around your neighborhood or to appropriate outdoor areas, depending on your preferences. I tailor each visit to match your dog’s energy level and routine. I offer a range of services including drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting depending on availability. My goal is to provide reliable, thoughtful care while keeping your pet happy, safe, and comfortable in your absence. If you have any questions, special requests, or concerns, I am always happy to communicate and make sure I am the right fit for you and your pet.

“Alexis is amazing, she took the time out of her day to meet Coco before the planned walks. After each walk she made sure Coco had water and food. If anyone ever needs a walker I highly recommend Alexis!!”

“Gabriela is professional and friendly, Bolt enjoyed his walk.”

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.

“Koa loved his walks with Kristi! The reports and pictures showed one really happy puppy!”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. When your dog is in my care, I treat them with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, likes, dislikes, and comfort level so they can feel safe and happy while you’re away. Whether that means going on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, having plenty of playtime, or simply giving them extra cuddles and company, I’m happy to adjust to what your pup needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and will keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is being well cared for. 🐾❤️ I’m currently a college student taking all of my classes fully online, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to do my schoolwork from almost anywhere. Because of this, I have plenty of availability throughout the day to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m able to easily work feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins around your pet’s normal routine rather than making them adjust to mine. This flexibility also allows me to spend quality time with your pet and make sure they aren’t left alone for long periods while you’re away. 🐾💕 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand that I’m being trusted with both a beloved family member and someone’s personal space, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other special needs. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. I’ll also respect your home and leave everything clean and secure. Most importantly, I’ll give your pet plenty of patience, affection, and attention while keeping you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. 🐾❤️

“Nicole was fantastic! She bonded with our dog right away and put us and him at ease. She’s been easy to work with and takes special care of our pet, all you can ask of someone coming to your home to take care of your pet. Highly recommend Nicole !”

About: Hi, I’m Lani! I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have been caring for them since I was a little girl. To me, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I treat every pup I care for with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m a proud dog mom to my fun-loving, friendly girl, Dreamy! She’s house-trained, sweet, and loves making new furry friends. 🐾 I’m especially excited to offer house sitting, where I can stay in your home and give your pets plenty of companionship, cuddles, playtime, walks, and attention while you’re away. I know how much peace of mind it can bring to know your pets are happy and comfortable in their own home—and I’m happy to help keep things running smoothly while you’re gone. I’m also available for dog walking and drop-in visits if your pup just needs some exercise, potty breaks, playtime, or a little extra love during the day. Whether your dog is energetic and ready for an adventure, a professional cuddler, or somewhere in between, I’d love to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐕💛 I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🏡 Work-From-Home & Flexible Schedule I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be around throughout the day. This is especially great for pets who enjoy having someone nearby for companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m available for overnight house sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits, and I can work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I love being able to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your pets can feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. 🐾💛 I have a fenced and large back yard so there's plenty of room for your pup to run and play. I am also able to crate train if needed.

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 :)!

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life and they are truly my passion. I care for their health and needs, possibly more than my own, and I will put in the same care and care into your fur babies! Connecting with each animal and earning their trust is my protocol first and foremost. I have a lot of experience caring for a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors, and can provide personalized care while carefully following any instructions given. If you book with me I promise to earn you and your precious fur baby's trust! My schedule is very flexible as I work part-time remotely at the moment and I am also available on the weekends for any Rover bookings. At this time I do not offer pet sitting in my home but when in my client's home, my priority is providing a calm and safe space for the pets. I will follow all instructions given as well as any specific care instructions for those with special needs. My goal is to mimic the pet's normal routine as much as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I focus on building trust by respecting each pet’s comfort level and offering gentle, positive interactions while staying attentive to their needs. I also take safety seriously by securing doors and gates and closely supervising outdoor activities. My goal is to ensure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for just as they would at home with you!

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have experience training puppies, as I have raised 2 of my own. I also am experienced caring for dogs with difficult personalities and quirks. Over this summer I fostered a lab who had been bit by a snake and was in charge of administering her medication at the right times. I am very available to take care of your pups or kitties as I am working remotely & make my own hours. I am available on weekdays & weekends from sunrise to sunset. I have a fenced yard that I have at my home that a dog would have fun playing in. I am also a very active person and am always going on runs, walks, hikes, and trips to the beach which I am more than willing to bring your pet on.

About: From sneaking in strays as a kid and providing food, shelter, and love for them like they were my own to working alongside military working dogs during my time in service, showing our furry four legged friends that they matter has always been important to me. I am currently available M-F 7 AM-7PM for scheduled walks, house sitting, and even a chauffeur for things such as grooming appointments that just don’t work with your busy schedule. Whatever your furry friend needs, I will provide! Special diet, no problem! Medications or exercise regiments, I’ve got you covered! Showers of nose boops and extra belly rubs, is basically a package deal with me! Pets should be treated as family, and that’s exactly what I plan to do every time, with love!
