Dog Walking Waikane

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with a Maltese who was my best friend, and since then I've been the go to dog sitter for friends and family. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including Huskies, Border Collies, Poodles, Shiba Inus, and many more. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and tend to treat them like my own kids. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or keeping them company while you're away, I'll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I work from home so I'm pretty flexible. The earlier we communicate the more flexibility I have. Typically more available in the afternoons and evenings I know leaving your dog with someone else can feel a little nerve wracking, so I'll do my best to make it easy for both you and your pup! Whether I'm stopping by for a visit, taking them on a walk, or staying overnight, I'll follow their usual routine and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and getting lots of love while you're away.

About: Proud dad of two adult dogs! Studying for the Hawaii Bar Exam and looking for study breaks to walk some beautiful pups! I’d love to take your doggie out for a walk! Studying full time for now, at home. Partner works full time. Primary caretaker for our two dogs - food, meds, walks. I am home all day, with transportation. For boarding, I will be in the house almost constantly. For my own dogs, I manage their medication and feeding. We walk several times a day and get out to the dog park or the beach every day.

“Carli was so wonderful while we were away for a trip. She was timely, communicative, and extremely sweet. My dogs would wait at the door for her when they knew it was approaching the time of her arrival. My family who were home (but unable to walk them) said my pups always came back tired and content. For my dogs, tired dogs are definitely happy dogs! We will absolutely be booking with Carli again for our future walking needs.”

“MaryAnn was once more exceptional. Having her drop by when we're away for long days has really had a positive impact on Winston, and we are grateful for her and her services. Thank you, MaryAnn!”

About: Aloha. I'm Summer. I am a stay-at-home wife and mom looking to bring in some extra income. I have loved animals since forever. I grew up with pets (dogs, cats, a rabbit, and fish). I have experience house sitting with pets, dog walking, and worked in an animal hospital. I don't have any fur babies of my own yet, but I do have a fur nephew, Ninja who I love very much. I am able to give medication if needed. I'm currently available Monday through Friday in the morning to the early afternoons. Weekends I am typically unavailable, but for the right pet, I can adjust my schedule. I will care for your home and your pet as if it's my family. I am respectful of boundaries, and rules even if it doesn't line up with my own beliefs. I understand that pets are very important to families and would never take that lightly.

About: Aloha 🌈 I have been a pet owner for the last 11 years (dogs, cats, goats and ducks) and walked professionally on another app for 3 years in Los Angeles. I’m trustworthy and patient with reactive pets and am open to whatever your friend may need! I can take short walks, long walks, hikes, beach swims and really any activity your pet likes. I just love to be outside with animals. I can also visit at home and give lots of belly rubs and home care if that’s what’s needed. I have had elderly dogs as well and am happy and comfortable to provide special care for them. Great with huskies and couch potatoes alike. I am currently working an on-call position and always have Mondays and Tuesday off with fluctuating schedules week to week. I am available before 1pm every day though. I do travel occasionally. I will keep to your home rules and needs based on how you care for your pets. If they have a crate or area, they will be secured on your request with whatever food/water/ snacks are needed. I always prefer owners to provide snacks as many animals have allergies. I am happy to fulfill any special requests like feeding or medications.

“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.”

“Accommodated my last minute request and took good care of our large dog!”

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: 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 got my first dog when I was 4 and started dog sitting for neighbors when I was 8. I worked with a group when I lived in Kansas City that did short term in-home dog fostering for 1 day to two weeks. My puppy experience comes from a few of my friends having puppies, but adult dogs are my favorite. I work full time from home, and can schedule walks in between meetings during the day. If the dog(s) are up for it I would love to take them hiking, SUPing, kayaking, to the beach, and to hang out with my friend's dogs. I prefer to keep the dog on a similar schedule to what they are used to and not overwhelm them with new experiences while their owners are gone. Please provide me with the needed information of your dog's routine.

About: I’ve had experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages since I was a child. I currently have an energetic, playful 1yr old puppy of my own; who is a great play date if you want to tire your dog out! I’m in the process of training her right now, so I’m happy to help with any training in yours. Please let me know any special instructions, preferences, allergies, etc. I’m more than happy to accommodate! I have experience with administering medication, eye ointment, eye drops, nail trimming, ear cleanings, bathing and more. I currently work as a dental hygienist Mon-Thu so I have availability outside of that. I love to take my dog out on walks, hikes, beach and dog park so I’m happy to bring yours along or separately if you prefer. I treat others’ homes as if it were my own and with the utmost respect. I’ll happily follow your pup’s favorite routines and games. I have immediate access to a few very large grassy areas for play time but they are not fenced in. I have a small and Xl crate. Multiple leashes and harnesses.

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: Aloha!! I provide every pet with love & care. I will always go above and beyond for you and your pet. I’m well experienced with cats and dogs daily pet care routine involves potty breaks, meal times, exercise that’s fun (play time!), & cuddles + love!! Every pet is treated like family and taken care of like my own. I 100% prioritize their individual needs! potty breaks and exercise, let me know what they need frequently and I will accommodate! Even if they are older and more laid back, we can chill together and I just make sure they are okay :)

About: I’ve take care of many dogs during my live and I have training my own pets. I will love your pets like if they will mine. I will have plenty of time during they week and weekends to take care of any type of pets. During week I can take care of them after noon. I will be very alert during my visit and will try to make fell loved during the time that the owner is away. During there stay in my house I will play and give them a walk every day in multiples occasion.

About: Hi! I recently made the move to beautiful Hawaiʻi, and I’m so excited to be part of this community — especially the pet-loving one! Living here has made me appreciate even more how important daily movement, sunshine, and fresh air are (for both humans and pups!). While working full-time in my professional HR career, I spent two years dog walking with Pups and Recreation because being around dogs truly fills my cup. It was never “just” a side job — it was something I genuinely looked forward to every week. Now that I’m settling into island life, I’m offering weekend walks and drop-in visits so your pup can get their steps (and sniffs!) in while you’re out enjoying your weekend plans. Whether your dog loves a brisk, energy-burning walk or a slower stroll with plenty of sniff breaks, I’m happy to match their vibe. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand that each one has their own quirks (which honestly makes them even better). I’m patient, attentive, and big on communication — you’ll always get updates and photos so you can feel totally at ease. If your pup needs weekend adventure walks, potty breaks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’m your girl. I’ll treat them like my own — belly rubs included. Can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐶🌴 I work full-time Monday through Friday, which is why I dedicate my weekends to pet care! 🐾 I’m available for weekend walks and drop-in visits only, and I have full flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays to meet your needs. Whether you need an early morning walk, mid-day drop-in, evening potty break, or multiple visits in one day, I’m happy to accommodate your schedule. Because I intentionally keep my weekends open for pet care, your pup will have my full attention — no rushing between commitments. I love spending my weekends outside, so dog walks fit naturally into my routine here in Hawaiʻi. If you’re looking for reliable, communicative, and flexible weekend care, I’d love to help! I always start by making sure your pet feels comfortable with me. I take my cues from them and move at their pace — building trust first is always my priority. If your dog is treat-motivated, I’m happy to use positive reinforcement (with your permission) to help with things like getting their leash on or easing into our walk. If they’re more independent or prefer to warm up slowly, I respect that and give them the space they need. For pups who love being outdoors, we can spend time playing and getting energy out in the yard. If they’re more companion-oriented, I’m just as happy hanging out, offering attention, belly rubs, or calm company. Every visit is tailored to your dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level. My goal is for them to feel safe, understood, and happy — and for you to feel completely confident while they’re in my care.

About: I offer high-end care for pampered dogs requiring walks, human interaction of play and grooming. I have cared for an assortment of dogs over my lifetime, large and small with a range of personalities, high energy and those that just want cuddles. You can have peace of mind that your dogs get the personalized care they need. I only care for one family of dogs at a given time. I am available 24 hours a day/7 days week to accommodate your and your dog’s needs. I understand that you want to spend every possible minute with your fur baby. Whether you have an early flight or a red eye to catch, I can make your trip less stressful by working around your schedule. Likewise, please provide your dog’s regular meal and toileting times upon booking and I will be sure that their schedule remains the same to reduce their stress in a new environment. I provide my undivided attention to your pet while in my care. This means that I and can provide video chat or pictures on demand and the frequency of potty schedules is unlimited.

About: Aloha! Growing up in Chicago with a mom who breeds Australian Labradoodles, I’ve basically been surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses my entire life. I’ve been there from the first adorable yawn to the moment those pups head off to their forever homes (and yes, I always cry a little). Why should you pick me to watch your fur babies? Well, I’ve got a lifetime of experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. From the tiniest pups to bigger dogs, I’ve seen it all—and loved every second. Plus, I currently share my home with my own four-legged buddy, Kai, who can vouch for my top-notch belly rubs and treat-dispensing skills. Your pets will be in good, loving hands—maybe even a little spoiled! I work remotely at home so I’m able to spend a lot of time with your pet, giving them all the treats and cuddles they deserve! I have a dog of my own who is super friendly and loves making new friends to socialize with! They can play together in my home!

About: I have been housesitting and pet watching for over 20 years (I cared for neighbors animals since Highschool). I prefer to go in home so the animal(s) are more comfortable. I have a 2 year old bunny (Thor) who gets along well with other animals but is also happy to stay in his crate away from more aggressive animals if need. I have watched many cats, dogs, and homes over the past 20 years. Most recently, I cared for 2 mid sized dogs for just over a year while their family lived abroad in Germany. I now have more time and would like to continue caring for other animals when their owners travel from Hawaii. I've lived on Oahu for just over 12 years and am happy to travel to most locations on island but reside Windward so there maybe an additional fee. I would consider outer island during school breaks and on weekends. I've been working as a tele school psychologist for this year (over 12 years exp) and am well versed in positive behavior supports (as they work well with children as well as animals). I now telework so have time to spend with the animals during the day as well as evenings and mornings like I previously did. I prefer to stay in home. I am available 3/6-3/26 Oahu I do not care for pets in my home. My bunny, Thor, comes with me and this generally provides entertainment and great photo opps for the pets we watch.

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and have been a central part of my family and friendships. I currently live with five Australian Shepherds, three of whom have puppies, so I understand firsthand what it takes to give each animal individual attention and love. From newborn puppy care and socialization to managing a multi-dog household, I know how to keep pets safe, happy, and stimulated. You can trust that your pet won't just be looked after they'll be genuinely cared for. I currently am in a hybrid program so majority of the time I am at home doing school work from Monday through Thursday. I also am paddling in kailua on MWThF 5:30-7 pm with races on sundays. I am very dependable and will always give your pet the best care possible. I will treat them like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I will follow all feeding schedules and any special instructions you provide. Your pet's well-being is my top priority, and I will keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos so you always have peace of mind
