“This was my first time using Rover and I had a really good experience. Ryan was great with putting me at ease by posting photos and updates from each visit. The one time I needed to contact him, he responded immediately. I will definitely use his services again. Thanks, Ryan!”

About: My personal experience: I grew up with animals (dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, mice, birds). I even had a snake once, which I got to get over my fear of them. So, caring for animals has been a part of my life for as far back as I can remember. I am my friend's & family's designated pet-sitter & travel regularly to care for their fur babies when they are out of town. My professional experience: I volunteered at a local non-profit rescue organization & fostered some kittens (hence all the cat photos). Cats are notoriously good at hiding pain or discomfort, so this work taught me to notice subtle behavior changes for immunocompromised kittens & administering medication. I even considered starting my own non-profit, but I have a very sensitive heart & decided to find other ways to give back to the rescue community. I do this by volunteering in shelters or as a flight nanny, donating to a few organizations (in Hawaii & Puerto Rico) & being an advocate. Special needs care: I have a one-eyed kitty that needs his eye cleaned multiple times a day. I also have a deaf kitty I got from an owner surrender. They had no idea he was deaf! I discovered behavioral changes on one of a senior kitty I pet-sit and gave some suggestions to the owner, which improved their cat's quality of life. I am comfortable giving medication & hope to get more hands on experience with special needs care. Schedule: I am an early bird & my schedule is flexible. I enjoy going on walks, so it's nice when I get to go on one with a pet. Travel: Don't let the distance discourage you. I have reliable transportation and don't mind driving to give pet care. I just make it part of my day. If you see me, you're in area of care! There is value in being a consistent person in your pet's life; so, I can be your go to person when you're out of town or be there on a regular basis either through a set schedule or on-call. If you feel your pet needs more than the standard 30-min drop-in or 60-min extension, we can look at other options. I am very social with animals. That can look different depending on your pet's needs (talking, play, keeping a safe distance so they know I'm there and don't feel overwhelmed but know I'm approachable). I want to make sure your pet knows I'm around & I want to build trust. I greet them with a gentle & happy voice and let them know I am there to care for them while you are out. I will look for your pet if they are hiding. During a walk, I may chat with them and I always let them take their time sniffing around and choosing where they want to go. Dogs have their walk routine down! Before I leave, I double-check that they are within safe distance of the door so we don't have any safety issues or escape attempts. I live in a condo, so I have some safety with an enclosed hallway in my home. I enter our home carefully, as sometimes our pets get excited knowing we are coming in and I don't want to hit them with the door. When I provide care in your home (overnight stays or drop-ins), I come alone or with my husband. I do not bring my pets or other folks with me. I enter your home just as carefully as I do my own, and announce my presence to your pet.
“Pet care services by Rover, and especially one of their sitters, Riley, came highly recommended and truly were such a great resource. Thank you so much, Riley, for taking such wonderful care of Hapa and Boo. I came home to find them safe, happy, and well cared for!”

“Hayley accepted my last minute request to check on Ekolu when his normal sitter was unable to come. Hayley always responds quickly, writes detailed Rover Cards, and she takes the best pictures!”

“Emily was absolutely fantastic with Wally! She took such great care of him, and it was clear he loved her. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!”

“Sarai was awesome! This was our first time using rover and she made our experience great. Impeccable communication and very caring with all of our animals. Put our mind at ease while we were on vacation.”

About: I have had furry babies my whole life & got my first when I was 14. They are my entire heart! I love all the babies & would love to help others. I’m currently working part time currently until after the holidays. I work mornings at a coffee shop until 1pm and sometimes fill in at a bar for a few hours I give all the furry babies all of the love, take them on walks frequently throughout the day, make sure they are fed, clean and happy!
“Lyndi took fantastic care of my cat and took a series of truly excellent photos of him for me to share with my family. She also went above and beyond and helpped arrange care through another sotter when I was not going to get home when I originally intended. I intend to hire her in the future and recommend her to anyone looking for cat care.”

“Janey was amazing as usual! Kitties were in the best hands while we were gone and were visibly sad that we came back and it wasn’t Janey opening the door 😂. Janey went above and beyond to make sure that Hicks and Vasquez had everything they needed and all the playing time and cookies in the world. Highly, highly recommend her for any pet sitting you might need!”

“Daniel was a fantastic sitter for my cat over the holidays. He was able to come around the same time every day and did everything needed for my cat and went above and beyond to anticipate my pets needs. He sent many photos and updates, and was very quick to respond when contacted. Daniel was great, hoping he is available the next time I travel!!”

“Sydney is so kind and sweet with our dog Monty. She is very attentive to his needs and always brings a positive energy. Book Sydney if you want a responsible pet sitter :)!!!”

About: Hello! My name is Kayla, an avid lover of dogs. I will always have your pet’s best interest in mind, making sure to look out for their health, safety, and overall wellbeing by providing the best care. Coworkers, family and friends have trusted me to take care of their fur babies from house-sitting, weekly walks, drop-in visits and cooking fresh meals for their pet, etc. If your dog is happy, I’m happy! I work full-time in a Supervisor position so my work schedule is always changing, which allows for some flexibility. My services only extend to the Ward & Ala Moana areas. When caring for a Client’s pets, I ask questions regarding their diet, physical health and mental health (IE. Separation anxiety, etc.). I am aware of my surroundings and interactions with other dogs to ensure everyone is safe.
“Claudia was absolutely wonderful! She dropped in with our cat for 3 days and had great communication, friendliness, and lots of experience. I would happily trust her to look after him again! Would definitely recommend if you are looking for someone attentive and engaged with both you and your pet :)”

About: I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with four cats of my own, and I grew up in a home filled with both dogs and cats. I’m very active and enjoy taking long walks, playing at parks, and spending quality time with pets. I understand how important it is for cats and dogs to get the attention and care they need, and I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am currently between jobs, and the government furlough has delayed the start of my new job. Because of this, I am searching for alternative income. I have a very open and accommodating schedule and am able to work when you need me to. I am a very attentive pet owner. I make sure that my pets are loved and cared for. They always have a clean-living environment with food, water, and the amenities they need. I am sensitive to animals and their needs and will make sure that your pet gets the attention and care they need.
“Jessica is an amazing pet sitter! She is so sweet to my animals and always puts my mind at ease when I’m away from home. I highly recommend her to anyone! :)”

About: 3 years ago my friend asked me to check in on Bruno while they went on vacation. It led to continuous potty break during the day, since I worked close by. Then, my love for dogs came into full circle when two of my nieces became fur mommies to Koa and Abby. With Abby, I was able to watch her at my place, while her mom traveled. Abby came to work with me too. Koa and I have gone out on play dates. That was my Cali life, and I do miss them fur nephews/nieces, which has led me to sign up as a sitter/walker here in Hawaii. If you’re looking for a furry godmother/auntie type for your pet, I’m the one. I work full time in town and am available for either flexible or long term set schedule after 5 until 9. If you’re going on vacation, I’m ok with staying at your place to watch pet and house. Unfortunately, LL doesn’t allow pets at my place, so I can only watch/check in on your pet at your place. I live close to dog parks and trails, and would be happy to partake in outdoorsy adventures with your pet. I can manage pet sizes from Malti-poos and German Shepherd mix.
About: Hi, I’m Rebeca! I work full time from 8 AM to 4 PM, and outside of that I love spending my time caring for animals and helping pet parents feel at ease when they’re away. I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy who will treat your dog like their own and I’d love to be that person for you. I’m also a proud dog mom to a sweet Chihuahua Terrier mix who’s been with me for three wonderful years. Having a small dog with a big personality has taught me so much about patience, gentleness, and understanding the unique needs every pup has. My style of care is gentle, positive, and respectful, while still keeping things fun and active. Whether your dog loves walks, playtime, or just being engaged and moving, I’m here to make sure they get the attention and activity they need to feel happy and relaxed. I’d love to get to know your pup their quirks, their routine, and what makes them special. I look forward to meeting you both soon and giving your dog a safe, loving experience every time they’re with me! I’m available Monday through Friday after 4 PM. Evening visits and walks fit perfectly into my schedule, and I’m happy to make sure your pet gets attention, care, and routine right when you need it. In Your Home: I follow your instructions closely and stick to your pet’s usual schedule. I handle feeding, water, litter or potty breaks, walks, and playtime, making sure your pet feels secure and cared for in their own space.
