Dog Walking Waikane

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.

“Kelly is great! She was patient and caring with my 10yo beagle boy who’s slowed down in his old age. I’ll definitely ask her for help with him again in the future.”

“Sierra was amazing! She accepted my last-minute request and really helped me out when I needed someone to take Mochi for a walk while I was busy cleaning the house. She was very professional, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help on such short notice. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Jacklyn is amazing! She’s walked my dogs three times now and always sends great updates throughout the stay. She is trustworthy and communicative, and I can tell from all the pictures that my pups absolutely love her. Highly recommend”

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: I’ve been at home with our new puppy for 8 weeks and love every part of it. I enjoy taking dogs for long walks while training them some cute commands and seeing my pup play with other dogs I only work 2 days in the week, so I have a lot of down time to hang out with my and other dogs 🐕 I live in a pet friendly apartment complex, with a dog park and hiking trails right by it. Our dog is very friendly and very playful

“Rebecca is easy to communicate with and flexible with our schedule. She gives us a detailed report and very patient with our reactive pitbull. Our family is glad we found a regular dog walker who’s understanding and willing to put in a little extra effort walking our girl.”

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: I've been around animals since I was young so caring for them has always come naturally for me. I genuinely take the time to understand each pet's personality, routine, and needs. I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages and am super patience with those that might need extra bit of attention or care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would want someone to give my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while you’re away. Friends and family usually reach out to me in regards to taking care of their pets because of how much I enjoy spending time around animals, but also the level of care, patience, and love I provide. I'm excited to hopefully do the same with you! I'm currently an active Marine, however my current schedule is very flexible. I work a typical 8-4, and I'm 100% free on the weekends! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow the owner's instructions and keep their normal schedule as much as possible. Whether I am caring for a pet in my home or in a client's home, I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I also understand how important trust is when someone is allowing me to care for their pet and enter their home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with respect. I pay close attention to a pet's behavior and surroundings, keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean and safe environment, and communicate with owners so they can feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands.
