About: I have been caring for animals my whole life, and professionally for the last 15+ years. I am skilled with dogs, cats, small house pets like hamsters, birds, chickens, goats, horses, and even cows! I currently work full time, Monday-Friday from 8am to 4pm at a small public school in South Kona, so I am available pretty much anytime that works around that schedule. I am available for overnight stays as well when necessary. I prefer to work with clients verbally to ensure we have a solid agreement regarding specific care for pets as needed. I strive to go above and beyond when offering care and aim to love my clients animals just as much as I love my own.

About: My experience caring for animals began in grade school, when I helped care for our horses, dogs, and neighbors’ animals. When our Labrador had her first litter shortly before my 10th birthday, I developed an even deeper connection with animals. I’ve always been drawn to their innocence, trust, and unconditional companionship. Caring for them feels less like a responsibility and more like an opportunity to offer the patience, kindness, and love they deserve. I have been a successful financial advisor on the island for 12+ years. Creating this account and becoming a part of this community is purely to give back to something that I truly believe in; quality pet care. Being single and childfree gives me the flexibility to make this happen. I make my work schedule so I am able to be flexible to animal and owner needs alike. I have had multiple friends and family members rely on me for personal pet care. The range of services I am offering would be anywhere from a quick dog walk on lunch break to overnight pet sitting. Experience with: eye drops, medication, wet and dry foods, and waste management 🙃

About: I am an active, dog-lover that would be so excited to get to know your sweet pup! I love taking dogs for walks and going out and exploring the neighborhoods (and dog parks!) around me. They will get endless amount of love and attention while in my care! I currently work remotely, so I am able to stay home for most of the day with your furry friend. Please reach out and let me know if you are in need of a dog-loving sitter! I work from home Monday-Friday and have a 5-1pm schedule. Within that timeframe, my work is pretty flexible so I will often play with the pups on breaks/lunches. I go on walks every evening between 1-4pm, usually 3+ miles. I am not able to offer stays at my own home at this time, but would love to help out and house sit or come stop by to take your sweet pup for a walk! I like to understand each individual dogs needs, so please don’t hesitate to let me know if there are any specific requests for activities/enrichment for your dog.

About: I grew up with 2 Australian shepherds and I have shadowed a professional dog trainer. Although I have the most experience with Ausie’s, I am comfortable around all dogs that are friendly to humans :) I have also recently spent time getting to know cats and have fallen in love with them too! My schedule is not very set in stone right now. I have a lot of little jobs here and there but nothing full time. I will work to make myself available as much as possible. After September 21 I will start school but mostly online so I will still have free time. I am happy to accommodate to any specifications you have for taking care of your dog. I will not reward bad behavior and I will give your dog lots of attention.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a professional background in behavioral health and behavior analysis. My work is with people—not pets—but many of the same good-care principles carry over: pay attention to behavior, respect boundaries, maintain familiar routines, and remember that everyone does better when they feel safe and understood. As your house sitter, I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where the smells are familiar, the sleeping spots have already been carefully selected, and everyone knows exactly when dinner is supposed to happen. Keeping routines predictable can reduce anxiety, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—even if your pet insists that you normally serve twice as many treats. Every animal has a unique personality. I’m patient with shy pets, enthusiastic with playful ones, and respectful of pets who need a little extra space before deciding I’m acceptable. Whether they enjoy walks, playtime, snuggles, or simply supervising me from across the room, I’m happy to follow their lead while maintaining the boundaries and routines that help them feel secure. I’ll carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions. You can also expect regular photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and being reminded frequently that they are extremely good-looking. I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family! I work remotely in behavioral health, so my schedule is flexible, and I bring my own reliable internet. Your pet’s meals, walks, playtime, medications, and companionship won’t compete with my work schedule. I may explore the neighborhood during downtime, but I’ll plan my outings around your pet’s routine—not expect your pet to plan around mine. I’ll respect your home, routines, and rules while providing attentive, responsible care. I’m honest, dependable, and proactive, and I’ll communicate promptly if anything unexpected occurs. Before the stay, I’ll review your pet’s routines, boundaries, emergency contacts, and veterinary information. I’ll follow your instructions closely and send regular updates—possibly including photographic evidence that your pet is running the household.

About: Aloha! 🌺 First off let me thank you for considering me as an option to care for your furry or not so furry friend! 🐾 I am from Illinois originally and have been living on the Big Island 3+ years. I like to spend my spare time in the water or on the trails. I love all animals and do exceptionally well with dogs & cats. I believe strongly in regular exercise, stimulative play, and a healthy diet for all animals. I am fast learning and willing to adapt to your pet's needs. I have many years of experience caring for dogs & cats in a personal capacity. I was a cat owner for 10 years until his passing a few years ago from cancer. I have lived with several different dogs of all shapes, sizes, & temperaments throughout my life, being a family pet, a partner's, or a roommate's. I have always wanted a dog of my own, however, have not yet been in the proper personal situation to do so. In addition to dogs & cats, I have experience caring for horses & rabbits. I am open to any type of pet care, and if you have any specific questions about my pet care please send me a message! Mahalo Nui Loa, Jess I am currently working part-time Wed-Sat 10am-7pm. Outside of that time I'm available for whatever need your fuzzy (or not so fuzzy) friend may have! Although I do not provide sitting in my home, I'll follow your pets schedule & needs as close as possible in yours! I always have an extra leash & water bowl in my car ready for anything!

About: I approach every job with a heart of service, integrity, and compassion. I believe animals are a beautiful part of God’s creation, and I’m committed to caring for every pet with the same love, patience, and responsibility I would want for my own. My goal is to provide each pet with a safe, loving, and nurturing environment while giving their owners peace of mind. Pet care isn’t just a side job for me—it’s a meaningful part of my daily life. I structure my schedule around the pets I care for, giving each visit the time and attention it deserves. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most safe and comfortable. I stick closely to their normal routine, including: Feeding and Medication: I follow all meal schedules and medication instructions exactly as provided. Cleanliness: I refresh litter boxes, clean up any messes, and ensure food and water areas stay tidy. Exercise and Play: I engage with your pets through play, walks, or enrichment—depending on their age, energy level, and personality. Updates for You: I send daily photos and notes, so you never have to wonder how things are going. Home Care Touches: I also bring in mail, water plants, or adjust lights and blinds to give your home a lived-in feel while you're away.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, small animals, and hoofed animals, and my experience extends far beyond pet ownership. I hold bachelor’s degrees in biology, psychology, and anthropology. My studies in animal behavior, physiology, and research help me better understand animal body language, behavior, and individual needs. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of species, including exotic hoofstock and birds in a zoological setting, as well as pigs, goats, and birds through wildlife rescue and animal care work. I also volunteered in an animal shelter environment for approximately three years, where I handled and photographed thousands of dogs to help them find loving homes. Through that experience, I became comfortable working with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. I have experience administering medications and genuinely enjoy caring for senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m also passionate about exercise and an active lifestyle and am happy to provide outdoor walks and enrichment for energetic pets. In addition to my animal background, I hold a master’s degree in counseling, which has strengthened my communication skills, patience, and ability to remain calm and attentive in a variety of situations. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, or senior, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to their individual personality and routine so both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I’m a small business owner and public school teacher, which gives me a structured yet flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I generally have the most availability on weekends, school holidays, and breaks—especially during the summer months—when I can provide extended, consistent care and house sitting. During the school year, I’m typically available in the mornings and evenings on weekdays, with greater flexibility on weekends. I’m always happy to discuss specific dates and needs to see what works best for your pet’s routine. I value consistency, communication, and reliability so that pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for, and owners can enjoy peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine in the environment where they feel most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines are completed on time and as directed. I treat every home with a high level of respect and care, keeping spaces clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. I’m mindful of both the pet’s needs and the owner’s home, and I prioritize reliability, safety, and consistency in every visit or stay. I also believe clear communication is essential, so I provide updates as needed to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

I’ll always be upfront if I think a pet’s needs are beyond what my schedule can provide. I care for every pet as if they were my own while respecting your home and your routine. I follow your pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and potty breaks, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection.

So thankful to have Callista pop in and take care of our cat while we are away. It can be hard finding people you can trust to watch your animals, but it is clear that she has a lot of experience pet sitting and treats pets like she would her own. We will definitely use her again!

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Captain Cook on Rover is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $27 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 85 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Captain Cook. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Captain Cook. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.

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.
