Arf, Arf af arf arf, arf arf. Translation: Dogwalker Etc is the best! We've used them for house sitting for both quick overnight as well as extended stays. They are extremely detailed, and obviously go through a thorough hiring process for their sitters. We've had "Aunty Barbara" sit our home in Mililani on a number of occasions. How did we know she was the "right one?" We didn't. Our dogs and cat did. When Barbara came over for the initial meeting, our dogs howled and whimpered from the moment she came into the house. Our cat immediately jumped into her lap. This is the same greeting usually reserved for our closest friends and family. Our animals knew right away that Aunty was a good one! I recommend highly. In summary, arf arf arf, arf arf arf!!!! p.s. meow meow! read more

By far the best dog walking/ pet sitting service I have ever used. They always go above and beyond. I wanted to surprise my fiance with a small trip for her birthday. She is usually the one who makes all the arrangements but in order for me to make it a surprise, I contacted them myself. They could not have been more friendly and helped me keep it a surprise. Our dog walker, Rachel, is by far the best and Roxy and her dog Steeler couldn't get along any better. I tell all my friends about them and would not trust anyone else with my dog. By far the best and your pets will be more than well cared for while you are away. read more

FABULOUS service! EASY to make reservations! employees have GREAT attitudes! I have used dogwalker etc. on several occasions each time the same employee was assigned to my account which was great because she was familiar with the dogs' routines. Michelle services the Kahala, Kaimuki, and surrounding areas and she is fantastic! She has a winning personality and absolutely adores my dogs (and they love her!) and hit it off immediately with them. Each day the dogs are walked a note is written summarizing how the walk and playtime panned out and whether they were well-behaved. I have four dogs of various ages and varying breeds and Michelle can handle all of them! dogwalker etc. has done a terrific job matching Michelle with my dogs. Their website is simple to use and reservations can be made online. This company exceeded my expectations and I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a dogwalker or a pet sitter. read more

I recently went on a 10 day trip and had never left my dogs before so needless to say I was very worried. We have spirited larger dogs (blind Siberian husky and crazy springer spaniel). Cost was not too bad. Worth every penny to me. $25.00 for a half hour walk and $30.00 for 45 minutes. I sprung for the 45 minutes. Kelly was our our walker and she took great care of our dogs letting them be themselves and taking great pics of them on their walks with huge smiles on their faces. I got daily updates immediately after the walks to put my mind at ease. Will definitely use this service, and Kelly again if I ever go away again!! read more

We have used Dog Walker Etc. on several occasions ranging from 10 - 30 days to do home visits twice a day. All their walkers are great and caring people. We have observed them taking care of our dog "Hardy" with lots of TLC from our home security system. They are reliable and we are happy knowing our furry family member is in loving hands! Many thanks to Erin and Rachael and their walkers, Kristin, Colleen, Alexia, Shannon, Amanda, Melissa and Hannah, you guys are the greatest!!! read more

Dogwalker Etc - All American Hardy - Dog Walkers Near Me

Rachael and Kate did an amazing job with my dog on short notice, and I would definitely use their services again. Thanks guys!

Couldn't be better if they tried. I should have written this review ages ago, but at least in the meantime I've been telling people in person how great they are. Anyway... Back in April (I told you it's been awhile) my husband and I had to head back east for a wedding. We hired dogwalker, etc to come watch our cats. Franny came out beforehand to meet us and the kitties, go over what was needed and expected, the basics. She's a sweetheart and I felt instantly at ease as she started petting Buddy Motorcycle. I'm an admitted crazy cat lady and had a ton of questions/concerns but she answered them all and even had a few I hadn't thought of. Anyway, every day she came to visit she took pictures of my cats and texted them to me with status updates. --Seriously, imagine how crazy I seemed being excited for photo of my cats coming to my phone during a wedding. Amazing.--We came home to two happy, well-fed cats and will DEFINITELY be using this service, and Franny, again if we have to leave the cats again. read more

Dogwalker Etc is a lifesaver. It is so hard to find trustworthy people to leave our dogs with. We have one who has some special needs, and so we worry about the attention and care they get. We found Dogwalker Etc, and have used them several times - short and longer trips. We have been thrilled with the service and care our dogs get; we get pictures and updates which help us to feel good as well. In particular Liz is FANTASTIC!!! And Erin has always been super responsive. The cost is worth every penny!! Much gratitude!!! read more

These are the BEST pet sitters and dog walkers on Oahu! For the past 2 years Dogwalker Etc and it's awesome staff have been caring for my 2 cute pooches: Pepper & Gizmo. Anytime I have a question, Dogwalker Etc owner, Erin, has been giving me advice for my dogs. It's been especially helpful when we adopted my little handful Gizmo. We have had typical new puppy owner issues like housebreaking, crate training and diet questions (Why does he eat his poop??!!). Erin helped me navigate these problems with confidence, steering me in the right direction to find the answers we all needed. I wouldn't trust anyone but them with my pets and I know Erin and her team will always make sure my furry friends (and I) get the best care possible. We WOOF you Dogwalker Etc! :) read more

I met Erin at the pet expo and she was very polite, informative and professional about pet sitting our dogs at our wedding. We contacted her through their website which the communication is great. We met with Kandyce and she is just awesome!! Our dogs took to her as soon as we met, which was a really good sign because it's hard to trust anyone with our fur babies. We got Kandyce to babysit our dogs at our wedding which was at the Hyatt Regency. She was great with dressing them up, to bringing them to the rehearsal and ceremony. She even dressed their wagon up for wedding to make it pretty. Kandyce is really sweet and organized. She made sure they were comfortable and fed, had play time to even kisses. Thank you Kandyce for taking good care of our babies. It meant a lot to us knowing they were in good care. read more

Not sure what happened, but I signed up for an account on the website to get a reply on what services were available, but I never got a response back from earlier this year. I was looking for a possible dog walking service during a period of recovery after an operation. I got past my recovery and I'm walking my dog once again, but I don't plan on using Dogwalkers in the future due to lack to my response earlier this year. UPDATE: Just talked to the owner and what apparently happened is a message was left on my voicemail, but the message must've gotten lost from my cell service. The policy of Dogwalkers is one reply per customer. I was able to talk to the owner and am satisfied with their follow-up and I look forward to utilizing their services when the time comes. read more

This review is for their pet sitting services only. I have not used their dogwalking services. My dog is part of my family. I absolutely adore her. It was difficult for me to find a place where I felt comfortable leaving her, especially for an extended amount of time. Through Yelp, I saw the good reviews for Dogwalker Etc and decided to give them a try for a trip I was taking to an outer island. I spoke to Erin on the phone, and we discussed different options for my dog. I decided it was best for my dog to stay at a home without other pets. We arranged for my dog to stay with Barb. First I had a "meet and greet" session with Barb to see how my dog would get along with her. Barb is such a sweetheart. She's very genuine, and truly cares about my dog. I knew my dog would be in great care. Barb sent me text updates periodically, which was fantastic. Since that first trip, my dog has stayed with Barb twice more (once for an extended trip - about 10 days), and she gets so excited when we arrive at Barb's place. Overall, my experience has been fantastic. I couldn't ask for more. Some may feel it's a little pricey - about $60/day for in home, private pet sitting, but to me it's absolutely worth it. I don't have to worry about my little friend at all while I'm gone. I would highly recommend Dogwalker Etc to anyone looking for pet sitting. read more

We went on a trip for 10 days and this team was amazing to our dog and 3 cats. Later, last minute we had an emergency and they were able to quickly jump in to get the keys at the emergency department and take care of our 4 pawed family until we got home . Katie, Amanda, Erin , Rachael and Lauren have been an amazing addition to our family in so many ways. We highly recommend them if you want the best care and love for your 4 pawed family members. read more

I am a first-time pet owner, and finding a pet-sitter when I'm out of town has always been stressful. I booked Dogwalkers etc to watch my two cats, Kima and Bubbles, during the holiday season. My husband and I were out of town for 13 days and I'm not going to lie -- I was pretty stressed about leaving them for that long! This is the longest we'd have left Kima and Bubbles home alone. My fears were assuaged when I met Alexia, my sitter from Dogwalkers etc. She was prompt, responsible, warm, reassuring, and friendly. I had a good feeling off the bat; she responded to all of my calls and text messages quickly and never left a message unanswered. When I met her for the first consultation, I showed here where we kept everything in the house and walked through our feeding and cleaning routines. She met Kima and Bubbles and even got a chance to play with them. When it came time for us to go out-of-town, she picked up the keys from my apartment. While we were gone, Alexia sent pictures every single day to update me on how my cats were doing. I appreciate that they use an app to communicate with you. I knew that at around the same time each day, I would receive an alert on my phone and get to check on my babies. It was a huge relief, and I looked forward to seeing Alexia's messages each day. And, as if that wasn't enough to address the concerns of a ridiculous type-A pet owner, when we returned home, Alexia made sure house was tidy. She swept up the kitty litter in the bathroom, wiped down the counters, and made sure our cushions were re-positioned on the couch (when I'm sure the cats had knocked 'em around). I could not have asked for a better pet-sitting experience, and I am 100% certain that we will be employing the services of Dogwalker etc again in the future. I highly recommend this service for someone looking for a reliable, dependable, and excellent pet-sitter. read more

Great Company. They take fabulous care of our furry friends. Highly recommend.

Since Beth is gone sadly I don't use Dogwalker, etc. very much anymore. They are a little more pricey than others I have found and unfortunately I just really have not cared for my tried and true "Beth"'s replacements as much. I am sure they screen their employees well but there is one that we interviewed that I would NOT let in my house and the other was ok. In a pinch I would use them again but honestly not my first choice...unless Beth comes back read more

Kelly was my dog walker. She is amazing. Not only did she walk my dogs, send pics and text messages about the walk, but she cared and loved my dogs. My dogs are finicky walkers, and they did well with Kelly. One of my dogs had cancer, and her care and concern was genuine. I plan on asking Kelly to dog-sit when I go on trips and will definitely continue to use Dogwalker Etc!. read more

Forget buying your pooch or kitties the latest fashions..the best way to show your love for your critter is by giving them the best care you can when you are away. Rudy is my baby and I am a nervous helicopter Mommy, but Dogwalker Etc. is the perfect piece of mind. In the two years that I have been usig Dogwalker Etc., I have had two regular sitters, both of whom were warm and conscientious and went out of their way to make sure I knew everything was OK..they call, they send pictures..I can tell from Rudy's smile that he is happy to have his Dogwalker Etc. friend there! So I say..BRING ON THE VACATION! read more

I have four cats and often have to leave the island on short notice. This company is about as reliable as reliable gets. My cats also love the sitters. They will go the extra mile to help with things like your mail too. I highly recommend their services. read more

We use dwe every time we go out of town. Specifically have had Sean stay and he has done a superb job. He goes above and beyond helping out w all the animals. Neighbors report seeing them frequently on their runs and animals always seem happy when we return and to see him on other visits. At first I was a little hesitant to let a stranger in but have had no problems and feel very confident in ther services. Great to have some one in the house too when were off island. Definitely will use again next time we travel read more

Thank you for always being available at the last minute and having a staff of really lovely and professional dog walkers. They have also fed them and even watered my plants. I can't do hank them enough! read more

For several years I have hired Dogwalker etc to walk and stay with my dogs when I'm out of town. In those years I have seen Erin build her service up into a very nice set of services for pet owners. For example, I've gotten spoiled with the dogwalkers' notes & eagerly read about the events from bird chasing to elimination. We've had increasingly better quality, more knowledgeable walkers except for one recent walker who wasn't very focused on this job. Another that we had was so trustworthy I felt totally confident in her abilities to handle anything that might come up. The only downside is occasionally Erin and I have a different philosophy about our business dealings but we always resolve them to our satisfaction. On the other hand, I've seen Erin take a role in advocating for pets in various community events. It's great to see her animal dedication in action! The main thing is these dogwalkers and sitters are caring for my two dogs well and I feel comfortable with them. The best part is that the days my dogs are walked they are a little happier, and when I return from a trip they're happy and healthy ;c) Highly recommended! read more

I really appreciate the service. My husband became sick suddenly requiring hospitalization & bed rest at home for 6 weeks. dog walkers took care of my 6 mos old King Charles Spaniel daily for 6 weeks & then I continued their services 2 days per week & will continue to do so. Erin & staff are loving animal caretakers! Each week Maka Nui is so happy for his ride to Manoa to be cared for by dog walker etc....thank you Erin & staff for your service!!!!!l read more

Helpful, professional and on top of it. Buster's going to have a good day in the hands of Dogwalker's caring pet sitters and walkers. Offering so many pet sitting options I wouldn't look anywhere else for someone to care for my pets. read more

Dog Walkers Etc has been an answer to my prayers. I have tried several other places for my dog and had some dissappointments along the way before finding the perfect company that really cares, not only for the physical well being but for the emotional separation from their owner well being. They have several options for you to choose from. They really care about wanting to meet the needs of you and your pet. I can now go on trips knowing she is in good hands. Gerhild is my Sofie's dogsitter and she is so loving to my baby. Yes Sofie doesn't realize she is a dog. Gerhild knows Sofie is nervous in the beginning and she will comfort her and give her the love and attention to make her feel safe. She sends me pictures to show how much fun she is having with her dogs and gives me reports on how she is behaving. One of my request was if Sofie could sleep on the bed with whoever watches her and Gerhild allows Sofie to sleep on the bed with her. When I come to pick Sofie up, before she sees me I see her running around the yard, tail up and just so confident and so happy. She is able to run around in the Gerhild home and able to access the yard. Gerhild also takes her on walks with her dogs. I am so pleased with Gerhild, she really has a way with dogs and they sense her love and calmness. Gerhild treats you and your dog better than family, Sofie and I are so blessed to have found her through Dog Walkers Etc. read more

We were off-island for eight days. Dogwalker Etc. (Chelsea). Came in, took care of our cat, our fish, and one VERY sensitive plant. The emailed report and photos each day were a tremendous comfort! Our plant requires daily water in a specific amount; too much it turns brown, too little and it wilts, we came home to a healthy plant. Guppies in two aquariums were healthy and their water indicated they had been fed per our instructions. Our cat was happy to see us, and was obviously well cared for. Daily we received photos of our cat playing and being cared for, this relieved our anxiety and helped make our trip much less stressful. Our overall feeling us that Chelsea is very trustworthy and is a true animal lover! read more

I am so glad I found this company!! My petsitter for years retired last year and that was the only sitter my two chiweenies had ever known!! I was so nervous about them getting used to someone else and having someone else stay in my home. I cannot recommend Dogwalker, etc enough!!!!!! From first contact, Rachel was very understanding of my nerves and Lauren provided wonderful care for the babies while I was gone over the Holidays!! She sent me pictures almost every day which really helped and I came home to the house just as I had left it!!! I was so pleased with this service that in January I added on a dogwalking service four days a week for my little guys and Alexia is just the sweetest soul. I told her I tease the boys when I get home and ask if they saw their girlfriend that day lol. They are so so happy with their exercise and extra loving while I am working. I am so glad for you guys!!!! If you're looking for a 5-star experience that can handle whatever your fears, quirks, preferences, they can do it with ease!!! Love you guys!!!!! read more

Dogwalker Etc is the best pet sitting service on the island! (can't comment on the actual dog walking part as I only have cats!) My fiance and I travel quite a bit so its no surprise that we eventually ran out of the "friend card" and had to get a professional to watch our precious babies. Dogwalker sets you up with a sitter based on location and animal type/the kinds of services needed. They are extremely good about responding to your e-mails and contacting the sitter/walker, usually all the logistics are set up within a couple of days. The very first visit your sitter comes over and meets the animals, you get to show them where everything is (food, litter, cleaning supplies, trash etc) and watch them interact with the animals which of course is quite an important part of the process. They will take down numerous notes to make sure they know anything and everything they need to take the best care of the animals possible while you are away. The sitter we always request is Shannon, I think it has been over a year that we have been using her services. She is a very sweet girl and my cats love her, as to them she is always the signal for food and play! She comes over every morning we are away, feeds the kitties, freshens up the litter and plays with them for about 15 minutes. She knows that I am an overprotective "mother" so she usually snaps a couple photos of the beasts and texts them to me which really brightens up my day! Shannon has animals of her own so I always know that my cats are in really good hands! She also leaves cute little notes each day, kind of like a "diary" of what the cats have been up to that I get to read once I return back home. Shannon is not just a sitter, she is so much more!! She also brings in the mail, feeds the fish (my fiance has a fish tank), and waters the plants!! Could not have asked for a more trustworthy and dependable individual to take care of things while we are gone! If you are going off the island and need sitting/walking services, do not hesitate to contact dogwalker!! They give you a peace of mind while you are away and lots of love, affection and play time for your animals! Without a doubt, next trip I take I will be using their services again! read more

I absolutely love Dog Walkers Etc and have been extremely happy with their service! I have 2 large dogs (Golden Retrievers) that get a 30 minute walk, 5 days a week. I love their daily notes and daily pictures they send me from their walks- my boys always look so happy! We've had a couple different walkers during the past year and every one of them has been great! Totally worth the money. I'm so glad I found them and would 100% recommend them! read more

BEST PETSITTING SERVICE OUT THERE! :) I just came back from a two week trip to Europe. When I called dogwalker etc only one week prior, the office was able to find me a sitter and interview with me in the same week. The service was amazing, the sitter was absolutely a sweet heart, and I would recommend dogwalker to ANYONE who is looking to leave the island and be confident that their pet will be in GREAT loving hands! read more

We went on vacation for 2 weeks and used them for their sitter service. We had a relative staying behind in our house, but they were not going to be able to take care of our 100 lb. lab. Since someone was going to be at the house, we just needed someone from Dogwalker Etc to come to our house and feed, water, give medicine, and walk our boy. Our walker "Brigete" did a FANTASTIC job. We got texts and pics each day of our boy getting his exercise. It was really a nice touch to see he was being well taken care of. We will definitely use them again and recommend them highly. Thank you Dogwalker Etc! The Kansky Family read more

We left our high energy, somewhat unpredictable 1.75 year old puppy with Dave & Lois with fear and trepidation. All a waste of our time and energy! He LOVED them, and within 2 hours of dropping him off for 9 days, we received pictures and a narrative about how well he was adjusting! No kidding, these people REALLY get dogs, and we were so happy to receive 8-10 pictures daily, along with a "story" about everything he did that day. It was such a huge relief to see how well he was doing that we were able to turn all of our attention to enjoying Japan. And now we can go on more trips, without all that worry! read more

I used Dogwalker Etc. for the first time recently and was lucky enough to get Corena to sit for my rabbit and cat while I was on vacation. I knew as soon as I met her that she was responsible and trustworthy--and I was right. She did an awesome job with my little beasts, even my recently adopted, neurotic (possibly psychotic!) cat who freaked out and bit her leg. Sadly, Corena is a military wife and won't be here forever, but I'm glad she was available when I needed her. Thanks again, you did a great job! read more

Great services! The people really care about the animals. You can trust them to take good care of your furry friends when you are traveling. read more

I have been using this service for more than a year and I'm very satisfied! They worked with me at the outset to find the right dog walker for my two golden retrievers - one who is a very spirited now two-year-old boy! The dog walker shows up without fail, taking them for a good run and always send me photos and information after each walk, letting me know she has been there. read more

I am a new dog walker my self and had some questions/advice to ask Dogwalker Etc, LLC. They quickly responded with answers to my questions with great help and detail!!! They were very helpful to me, thank you Dog walker Etc, LLC!!! read more

Normally when we leave on a trip we are fortunate enough to have friends house and dog sit. However on our most recent trip our friends were not available so we needed to find another option. We have three dogs that love being home and have never been boarded. We did look at boarding options but didn't like the idea of them being in a small space and not getting to spend time with each other (they are all best friends!). Also the cost to board three dogs is really high! We looked around for pet sitters and found Dogwalker Etc. The website was very informative and the reviews were good so we decided to set up an interview. We met with Sharol and could tell right away she loves animals. We have never had a stranger stay at our house before and expressed our concerns with the company owner Erin. She took the time to assure us that each employee (and the dog sitters are employees, not contractors), are fully vetted and have great references. We decided to give it a try and I am SO glad we did. We were gone for 7 days and Sharol was amazing with our dogs. When we came home the dogs were in good spirit and the house was even cleaner than we left it. We received texts about the daily activities. Never was I worried about the dogs (or house) well being. The whole experience was great. I am glad we gave it a try - our dogs are our kids and leaving them is very tough, but knowing there is someone who you can trust to take care of them in their home environment is such a relief. read more

We are grateful to have found a great pet sitting service and pet sitter for our senior cat who can be very skittish due to our recent move. Rachel won the trust of our cat right away with her calm manner. We love the text messages and photos from Rachel that all is ok, plus daily written log is kept for our review when we return home. Our cat is well-cared for and that is reassuring to anxious pet parents! Thank you Rachel and Dogwalker Etc staff. Happy Holidays. read more

I have used Dogwalker Etc twice, and both times were fantastic. I was able to completely relax knowing that my kitties were in good hands. Their sitters are friendly and professional, and make you feel really good about the care your pets will receive while you are gone. My kitties were healthy and happy when I got back, and the "journal" my sitter left was cute to read. I use their services every time I am away from home. read more

Dogwalker Etc. is professional from the beginning of the consultation process to the vetting and meeting of the dog/petsitter. They are licensed and insured which most businesses on Oahu do not provide. Their website is full of pictures, advice, and they keep us clients' information very private which is very important to me as I travelled alot and did not need the world to know where I was. Additionally, this company does not pass your information to 3rd parties so no spam mail here. They provide excellent services and are extremely proactive with their communication with me. If you are in the Ewa Beach area, I highly recommend Corena. She is smart, trustworthy and loving. I think she treats my puppies better than she does her own...just kidding Corena. She truly shows her loyalty, love and care to all animals. Corena made friends very quickly with my neighbors who all have dogs and I get repeated feedback from my neighbors that she seems to get along with all of the dogs (big and small) and we have some feisty ones in our neighborhood. Nevertheless, Corena has never missed a day and she works five days a week for our family for the last 7 months. I love the housesitting services. Corena left my house cleaner than I left it and so she immediately became apart of our family. I recommend this entire company to all military famiies and/or professional families who have that guilt of leaving their pet alone all day long like I did. Their prices are reasonable and Erin sends very prompt, easy to read monthly statements. I have never stopped thanking and sharing my appreciation to the company and to Corena and never will stop bragging about her. She goes above and beyond what the website mentions because she is just a trustworthy loving person. I am sad to leave the island and our entire family will miss Corena. Dogwalker Etc keep up the good work and the great customer service. Please always keep it as personal as you have and I promise you will continue to be a successful business.. also do not forget to advertise your services through the military housing offices at each of the military bases. It is so hard for military families to find honest people to allow in their home here in Hawaii and I know more people need you guys!!! Love and appreciate all of you, Jen M (Corena's client) read more
