“Thank you Brenda for putting our minds at ease while we were on vacation. Brenda did a fantastic job hanging out with our furbabies. I never wondered if she was giving my dogs the same attention and affection she gave her own dog - I know she was. Thank you!!!”
“We trust our dogs and home with him completely!! Now having watched our dogs a number of times, they jump up to greet him and are so happy. We especially love that he keeps our house looking tidy and gives the dogs lots of playtime outside. Will use again and again!”
“Daisy did an excellent work house and pet sitting. My dogs absolutely love her. She is neat as a pin and is excellent in giving me updates. I’m going on another trip soon and have already booked Daisy. I rest easy knowing Daisy is taking care of my dogs!”
“Cody was wonderful with my sweet dog, Terra, and feral cat, Buddy! Her kind gentleness was very harmonious with my timid Terra. And she left my home in great condition. Thank you Cody for taking such good care!”
“Best pet sitters I've found on the island! They LOVE dogs, which is really the most important thing. And they're very friendly and easy to work with. Plus, they have a ton of experience pet-sitting, so they aren't easily ruffled. Definitely consider Jody when you're looking for a pet sitter on the Big Island!”
“Austin was great. He and his wife communicated constantly, they always sent us pictures, the dogs were extremely happy when we got back from our trip and the house was spotless. Would absolutely recommend.”
About: I love dogs!!! I’ve been a dog mom to Rocco, my senior rescue, for 5 years now. He is the sweetest, most affectionate, most social baby on the planet :) Being a dog mom has been the greatest joy of my life. We started Rover dog sitting in 2023, and we absolutely LOVE it!!! I’m home most of the day, but nowadays I do check in on other dogs and cats in the neighborhood, I might be gone for 30-60 mins at a time. Otherwise I’m generally here. I do have a senior dog, he is pretty low energy at this point. So if you have a dog that can match his energy, and wants to couch snuggle with us, then this will be a great fit for you! My intention for caring for dogs is peace, harmony, safety, and love :) We take multiple dogs at a time, so if this is comfortable for you then yay! We’re looking to care for calm, quiet, peaceful, properly socialized, leash-trained, and well-behaved dogs :) We prefer dogs above 2 years old :) Drop-off times are between 7:30am and 8pm. Pick-up times are between 8:30am and 10pm. Thank you for understanding! I can also do pickups and drop offs if needed! I know how important it is that your pup feel loved, safe, and comfortable while their parents are away. I am ready and able to give that to them. I also have a small, fenced-in backyard. Rocco and I walk twice a day so I’ll be sure to bring your dog with us! Beyond that though, we are a pretty low energy house :) I am a big believer in healing our pet’s trauma and anxiety so that they can feel better and relax. I can help them release trapped emotions and other energies using a technique called The Body Code. It is a holistic approach to healing that treats root causes. There are no side effects and it is completely safe. If you’re interested in energy healing for your baby, message me for more information.
“Raven saved the day! I was looking for a sitter very last minute and had timing restraints and Raven worked with me every step of the way and made the process so easy. She sent me a bunch of pictures throughout the day and it was obvious my pup had a great time with her when I got home.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, bunnies of my own and just being with them is my passion! I would love to be able to take care of your pets. I am trying to find a job for some extra cash for college. You can contact me any time and I will most likely be free! I’m very flexible and loving when it comets to animals. As long as you have directions I’m sure I will be able to take care of your animal!
“Gregory was amazing during his stay with our Frenchie! He took him on walks and little adventures and we’ve never come home from a week long trip to a more happy and healthy doggo!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ainaloa
Brenda was an immaculate sitter. We were having a lot of trouble finding an arrangement for our special needs cat, Smokey. Brenda was able to accommodate a strict care regimen which included frequent medication administration and monitoring. She even went as far as to develop a spreadsheet for us! Our home and pet were left in great care and we hope to work with Ms Brenda again next time we travel!
Izzie was great with our two pretty high energy dogs! Our puppy especially is not an easy case but she did wonderfully even keeping up his training and teaching him better manners. She was responsive and left the house in great condition. Would certainly have her watch the pups again!
We feel so grateful to have found Tara! She took wonderful care of our senior dog and our cat. You can tell they really love her, and they seemed so well cared for. We really appreciated her communication and the photos she sent. She also left our home spotless and even baked us cookies🥹💗 mahalo Tara!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ainaloa walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ainaloa maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ainaloa choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
