About: I have had dogs my entire life, I have experience training 4 dogs from puppy age through middle age and up until senior age! The dogs I have taken care of range from big dogs (german shepherds) to tiny dogs (teacup chihuahuas). I have a very active lifestyle that allows me to have fun with the dogs and get them active. I have experienced working with shelter dogs, I actively walked them and fed them. I HAVE BASE ACCESS :) !! My schedule has my days ending early afternoons so I would be available to stop in for walks/check-ins after. My nights are flexible for night visits. I currently live in dorm housing where animals are not allowed but for care inside client homes I will keep a watchful eye when letting your pet out and pay close attention to instructions.
“Such an amazing person! She sent us so many pictures of our fur babies and took such great care of them! Will absolutely be reaching out to her for all of our trips! Super responsive, kind, warm, and loving to our pets! The best pet sitter we have had!”
“We used Veronica to house sit and to watch our cat and dog. Veronica communicate with us daily about our animals and sent us pictures. She was super friendly and listened to all of our needs in taking care of our animals. I would recommend Veronica and definitely will be using her again to watch our animals.”
“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!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. From super young when I had a ton of dogs and bunnies. As an adult it’s the first time I have my own dogs. I love them to death and they super friendly and playful and would love to make dog friends. I have a full time job but I live super close to work so I can check on the dogs during my lunch break but my afternoons are usually free so they will have all my time. I just want to make sure the pet is comfortable with me in their / my home, I would give them all the affection if that’s what they need & make sure they’re safe & well taken care of.
“I don’t think that anything I’ll write will do justice to how amazing her care was for my pup Archie. Ria watched Archie over Christmas and she did an amazing job. She constantly send me updates with pictures and videos. I’m always anxious leaving and always worry about Archie but I really did not have to. Archie loves her and always gets excited to see her. Ria has walked Archie many times and she takes him on little adventures to the beach or the dog park. She is very quick to respond and open to any needs. Archie can get very anxious sometimes but I know that Ria knows what to do and knows how to help him in the situation. I 100% recommend Ria for your dog sitting or walking needs. And I will definitely book with her again.”
“Haily and Benjamin took such wonderful care of our German Shepherd and kitty while we were out of town!! They sent daily updates and photos and our pets were so well cared for and happy. We will be requesting them anytime we are out of town ☺️”
About: I would prefer to help you out with your cats or even small kittens) I adore to see how playful they are! I may give very good care for any kind of cats! I do work during weekdays and it will be a pleasure to take care your pet on weekends. Cats 🐈 are my favourite, we get connected right away! I can definitely be a great company for your cat! Feeding, cleaning and playing with your pet, it’s more a pleasure for me! We can chat to discuss more.
“We’re so grateful for Janey! While on a ten-day trip, one of our kitties broke through a small screen window in our bathroom and went missing for 5 days. We had care scheduled for our kitties, but it became clear it would take more to bring our Stella kitty home. With still a week left in our trip, we were becoming very concerned Stella would not come home without a dedicated and persistent search effort, and that’s when we contacted Janey. Right from the start, Janey was empathetic about our situation and committed to helping. She went above and beyond our expectations, from bringing various types of fish to put out for our kitty to circulating our kitty’s photo on social media sites (with our permission), all while providing love and care to our other kitty, Oscar. Janey was easy to coordinate with and is a reliable communicator. Janey up finding our Stella kitty deep out into the yard behind our house when Oscar awoke her in the middle of the night. She saw eyes glowing in the yard, contacted us, and went out to investigate based on an intuition it was our Stella, which it was! She approached Stella carefully and brought her home safely. We highly recommend Janey for her great communication, dedication to help, and clear way with animals!!”
“Sasha was punctual, polite, and made us feel safe leaving our dog in her hands. We were nervous since it was our first time using Rover, but her calm attitude made us feel at ease.”
About: My favorite part of dogs is their personality. Personally, I love a pup with a little sass (it keeps me young and entertained). I love hiking, being outdoors and long walks on the beach. If those are some of your dog’s hobbies I think we’ll get along just fine! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so taking care of them has always felt apart of my routine. My family dog’s name is Lulu, she is a 17 year old Papillon and ia partially blind and deaf, so I’m very comfortable with senior dogs and giving them the extra patience, attention, and care they need because they need it the most❤️🩹 Along with having fun, I truly care about making sure your dog feels comfortable and at home while you’re away. Whether that means keeping up with their usual routine or giving them a fun little staycation, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well care for. I currently work from 8-4 remotely. My schedule during the day is extremely flexible and can work around meetings. I don’t work on the weekends and are fully available. I love walking and happy to go on long walks throughout the day. If there are special requirements for your pup I’m happy to accommodate as best as I can!
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets since I was around 8 years old. I helped my senior dog when he couldn’t do things himself, as well as helped my relatives with their senior dogs. I’ve always been drawn to helping out animals, and not just dogs. I love all pets, no matter what size or age. I have patience and will take my time to make sure your pet is safe and well taken care of. I can do anything! Bathe, feed, walk, play, and more. I’m a fresh high school graduate. I’m going into college for veterinary technology so I can become a vet tech! Pet care will help me stay occupied while learning more on how to handle animals and prepare for my future. In my home/area, I will be able to feed, bathe, walk, and play with your pets in or outdoors. The same thing goes for my client’s house too, as well as making sure everything stays tidy while still giving your pet the care they need.
“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!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs, and over the years I’ve developed a genuine love and appreciation for how much joy, comfort, and unconditional love they bring into our lives. My dog Charlie had the biggest impact on me. His love was completely unconditional, and he taught me just how special the bond between a person and their dog can be. Because of him, I believe every dog deserves to feel that same unconditional love, patience, safety, and kindness. When caring for your pet, I want them to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for just like they would at home. I’m attentive to their individual personalities and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply looking for some extra companionship and cuddles. Your pet is more than just a pet—they’re family. I’d be honored to give them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐶❤️ My Availability 🐾 I work full-time during the week, so my availability is primarily in the evenings. I’m generally available after 5 PM for evening walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and am available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and boarding. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I provide care in your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’m responsible, attentive, and always aware of my surroundings when caring for pets. During walks and outings, I pay close attention to traffic, other animals, and anything that could potentially put your pet at risk. I also understand that I’m being trusted with both your beloved pet and your home. I treat every home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine, and I’m mindful about keeping doors, gates, and other entry points secure. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and in good hands while you’re away. ❤️
“Aiden was so great! My animals can be a little shy at first but they warmed up to him super quickly. He sent pictures of them to us often and gave us updates daily. He even got my kitten a new toy! I will definitely book with him in the future”
“Josh helped us out with house sitting while I was away for the holidays. We had an unexpected cold snap and not only did Josh take great care of my dog, he took immediate action to ensure the pet tortoises got the warmth they needed, that the house temp got raised by getting the pellet stove running and running water so my pipes didn’t freeze! I couldn’t be more grateful for his attention to detail and quick response to an unexpected situation!!! I highly recommend Josh!”

“Colleen was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and consistently attentive, patient, and loving toward our pups. She truly went above and beyond by taking them on hikes, giving them plenty of walks, and making sure all of their individual needs were met so they stayed happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her attention to detail really stood out, especially since she gave one of our dogs medication and made sure it was administered correctly. What also meant so much to us was her communication. Colleen provided daily check-ins and updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away from home. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about our dogs, and we felt completely confident knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Colleen to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated dog sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Shafter
Malisa house sat for 10 days and took wonderful care of my three cats! She responded quickly to my questions and requests, collected my mail and packages, and kept the house clean. Coming home to everything well cared for was such a relief. I highly recommend her to care for your fur babies!
Gabby was great with my Lab Kulolo. I was a little nervous leaving him for the first time with someone new. It all worked out wonderful. She was on time and feed him and threw ball with him daily. He enjoyed her company. I am Thankful Gabby worked out for us! I would highly recommend her and will definitely call on her again. High Five Gabby 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you again!
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!
Rochelle did an amazing job taking care of Koa while I was away. She was very communicative throughout my time away and consistently provided updates and pictures of my fur baby, which really put my mind at ease knowing he was in such great hands. She took great care of Koa and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would highly recommend Rochelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy and very caring dogsitter😊
Renee did a great job house sitting while we went on a weekend trip to a neighbor island. She was attentive and communicated quickly and efficiently. Hoku and Peaches seemed to do very well with her. My home was left in excellent/tidy condition which is very important to me. Much Mahalo!
Josephine is the absolute best house/pet sitter! Our two dogs love spending time with her while we are away. It gives us a great piece of mind knowing they are well cared for while we are traveling. Would highly recommend Tia gone looking for someone that not only takes fantastic care of pets but leaves the house spotless.
We had such a wonderful experience with Shalyn! She took amazing care of our two dogs and our cat while we were traveling off island, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. One of our dogs is very anxious around new people and can sometimes be reactive toward both people and other dogs, so we were a little nervous about leaving him. From the initial meet and greet, though, Shalyn was patient, calm, and wonderful with him. He warmed up to her right away, which is incredibly rare and gave us so much peace of mind. Throughout our trip, Shalyn was incredibly communicative and sent us lots of photos and videos, which we always looked forward to. It was obvious from all the updates how comfortable our pets were with her. Seeing how much the dogs played with her, sought her out, and interacted with her made it clear they genuinely enjoyed having her there. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and we’re so grateful for the excellent care she provided. We look forward to booking Shalyn again for future sittings and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter!

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 Fort Shafter 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 Fort Shafter 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 Fort Shafter 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.

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.
