“Alexis took so well to my anxious little Ella. She was able to schedule a meeting before my trip and I was so happy to see that my dog warmed up to her right away (my dog is very particular about her people). Alexis made sure that Ella had her daily meals and potty breaks. I even received pictures and videos of their playtimes. I highly recommend Alexis and appreciate her time in making sure my Ella (and my home) was well cared for.”
“Jessica was a life safer; allowing the whole family to go stateside while being able to leave our two older dogs with someone at home relieved a lot of anxiety. She was a good communicator, took great care of the dogs, and left the house in excellent condition. I would definitely recommend and hope to book her again in the future!”
“Can’t rave enough about McKenzie! She is punctual, professional, loving and communicative. Potato loves her and we trust that Po is in good hands with her. Thank you so much!”
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. 🐾❤️
“I would highly recommend Rebecca. She sent photos and videos with updates so I knew he was in excellent hands. She managed my very spoiled pup fabulously and I’m very grateful for the care she provided to him!”
“We never were really comfortable with leaving our boys at the clinic while we travel. Kaya made it so easy for us. She is extremely friendly, helpful, kind and informative. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Richard was great with Moosey! Fast communicator. Sent pics and videos. Super respectful and left my place clean. Moosey loved him. Definitely would recommend and would book again for my future trips.”
About: Trained with large dogs and no problems with little ones. I’ve cared for cats, birds, reptiles and more. I love taking walks and playing fetch. I also know how to give medications and care for elderly dogs as well. I love animals, especially dogs and appreciate being able to help them. I’m available daily for walks, feeding or check in’s every day of the week. I have a decently sized yard that is totally fenced in, even for little dogs. I have an attached garage as well as numerous baby gates. I have my own vehicle and I’m skilled at caring for others homes as well.
About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I enjoy giving pets attention, playtime, exercise, and lots of care. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m currently available and have a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and other pet-care needs. I’ll make sure to give your pets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep their environment clean and secure, and make sure they have fresh food and water. I’ll also provide plenty of attention and playtime.
“Asking Arianna to house sit and care for our dog and two cats was the best decision. She cared for our pets like her own and was very communicative. Arianna helped to relieve my anxiety about being away by answering my questions promptly and with reassuring information. It was obvious from the pictures, videos and the behavior of my pets when we got home that they enjoyed their time with her. We highly recommend Arianna and will be asking for help over and over again.”
“Lex was amazing! Seriously the best pet sitter we’ve had to date. She was great with my pups and kitty while we were out of town. Consistent photos, updates, and she really went above and beyond. We felt so at ease having her at our house. She left the house cleaner then we left it and I know our animals were in the best hands. Thank you Lex! ❤️”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for many breeds of dogs and cats. I’ve owned and cared for Yorkies, pit bulls, boxers, husky/German shepherd mixes, and American bulldogs, along with multiple cats. I’m experienced with daily care, walks, feeding schedules, bathing, and making sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I have flexible availability and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets throughout the day. I’m reliable with schedules and make sure pets get consistent care, playtime, and supervision. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and instructions provided by owners. I’m experienced handling different temperaments and making sure pets feel secure in both my home and theirs. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe, low-stress environment.
About: I grew up on a farm and have had dogs of every shape and size my entire life. I have experience with dogs with diabetes and am comfortable giving them their shots. I am willing to drive to any part of the island but I am located in Ewa Beach so please allow grace for traffic if you are townside. Size does not scare me as I was watching over 12 horses daily in Kapolei, my elderly dog requires 4 medications a day so medications are a breeze as I’ve had to learn every trick in the book. *I have an elderly dog and young cat in my home so all animals must pass a flea inspection and have recent vaccines.* I am currently unemployed due to medical conditions not letting me be able to be in large crowds. I can adapt my schedule to you and your animals needs because of this and can be available anytime outside of my appointments and treatment days. I have a larger fenced yard in Ewa Beach, I provide filtered water for all animals and treat any animal in my home as if it were my own. In my house animals are allowed on furniture and beds. I will always leave a space cleaner than found, if I am house sitting/pet sitting I will lightly clean the area. If your animal becomes muddy, or dirty under my care I will wash them. If you don’t want them on furniture I will make sure they do not go on any.
“Anastasia was wonderful with my babies! I have three mixed doodles and I could tell they loved her and bonded with her. She sent lots of pictures and videos and left my house very clean! I was hesitant to use rover based on past experiences but Anastasia did a tremendous job!”
“We could not be happier with our experience. She stayed at our home for seven days (over the holidays!!!) and truly went above and beyond in every way. Our dog was clearly so happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. On top of excellent pet care, she also took amazing care of our home. She took out the trash, started the laundry before she left, and left everything spotless. It was such a thoughtful touch and far more than we ever expected. It is rare to find someone so trustworthy, communicative, attentive, and genuinely caring. We would absolutely book her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet and house sitting care.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and have lots of experience taking of care and providing a safe and happy experience for them. My last fur baby was 18 year old silky terrier and still miss him so not ready emotionally for my own but do enjoy caring for and being around others fur babies. I would appreciate and enjoy taking care of your doggies in my home as I did my own. I work from home remotely but have a flexible schedule, normally evening ours I’m online but will still be in living area with dog(s). I will be available to sit with, walk or play in yard/home throughout day and take care of any needs of dog(s). I have a larger home with fenced in yard, grass for playtime and potty. I also would enjoy and can provide walks with your dog(s) if desired. Also if dog(s) enjoys fetch and outdoors, my backyard has high rock fenced area that is safe for roaming and playing. Interior is spacious and centrally air cooled so very comfortable during warmer days and cozy safe living area.
“I was beyond pleased with Isabell. The meet and greet was amazing and my dogs were happy around her right away. I could tell it was going to be okay as I was so nervous leaving them for the first time with anyone other than family. She is knowledgeable dealing with different types of dogs and their different behaviors and personalities. I enjoyed the updates and pictures. She always feed them on time and kept to their schedule so they felt comfortable. We did 3 overnights and Isabell left our home exactly the same as we left it and truly respected our space. We will definitely book her again and have confidence we can enjoy our time away knowing the dogs are taken care of.”
“We have two grown dogs and a puppy, so Annabelle definitely had her hands full, but she did great. She stayed at our house. The dogs totally fell in love with her. Can’t wait to use her again.”
“Riley was excellent with Lida for the week I was out of town. She is warm, friendly, genuinely loves animals, and paid close attention to the type of care Lida needed. When Lida’s separation anxiety kicked in, Riley was patient with her and communicated with me to work through various solutions. She never got frustrated with Lida, she didn’t give up, and it paid off. It’s not always easy to earn the trust of my anxious, high energy Staffy, but she loves Riley! While I didn’t ask Riley to do anything around the house during her stay other than take care of her own dishes, she took great care of the house, watching for packages and even going so far as to wipe down the sink and make the bed up exactly as it was before I left. Riley is a lovely person and I would trust her with my home and beloved pup anytime.”

Jessica was wonderful. My dogs were well cared for and my house was well kept. I have one dog that takes a while to warm up to people and just in the matter of one night she already had him cuddling up to her like he does to us. So grateful! We will definitely be booking her in the future!
Katie was absolutely amazing with our pups! She took them to the park and on walks daily to get all their energy out and they absolutely loved her! Should was also amazing with communication and sending lots of photos!! I can't wait to book with her again! 11/10 recommend!!
Shy is exceptional. She goes above and beyond to take care of your beloved family member and I always feel at ease knowing she is taking care of my dog. I would recommend her to anyone that needs dog sitting services above anyone else! She is attentive and thorough. Thank you for watching my boy for the holidays and Merry Christmas!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,017 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Akupu. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Akupu 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 Akupu 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Akupu 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Akupu. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
