About: Hi! My name is James. I work from home as a podcast agent and have a very active lifestyle. I’m a digital nomad so I travel frequently, I make my own hours so I can be flexible! I started dog sitting in 2024 originally through referrals, then through Trusted House Sitters, now on to Rover! I have done sits up to 4 months long in Hawaii and as short as 2 days in Belgium, I can be flexible with scheduling. I truly love being around dogs, I go on walks frequently and I love having a companion as I travel. I’ve had dogs all my life and realizing rover would be a great way of connecting me with great dogs and opportunities! Your pets safety and happiness are paramount.

Feel free to ask any questions or reach out, I’d be happy to have a chat to show you why I’d be a great sitter :). I work online, so travel has become a huge priority for me and a way i've found routine is staying at peoples homes for a few months, while watching their dog! Oh i've had dogs all my life, they are family to me in every way, most breaks I take throughout the day are to give my dog some love or take her potty

About: Aloha! I'm Bethany, and animals have been at the heart of my life and work for the past 5 years. 🐾 I have 5 years of professional experience working in animal welfare, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Through my work, I've had the privilege of helping thousands of animals—from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets, shy animals, and those needing extra patience and understanding. My experience has taught me how to recognize animal body language, provide compassionate care, maintain routines, and help pets feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence nearby, I will tailor my care to their individual needs. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your furry family members. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. As a lifelong animal lover living on Kauaʻi, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged ‘ohana members! I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week. I understand that pets thrive on routine, and I do my best to accommodate their normal feeding, exercise, and enrichment schedules to help them feel comfortable while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and wellbeing are my highest priorities. With 5 years of professional animal welfare experience, I understand the importance of proper animal handling, recognizing body language, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, routine, and needs so I can provide individualized care and ensure they feel safe and secure while you're away. I believe communication is key, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, just as I would my own pets. I am attentive to home security, follow all owner instructions carefully, double-check gates, doors, harnesses, and leashes, and prioritize safety during walks and visits.

“Hannah is an AMAZING sitter. All of my animals loved her. She did a great job looking after our mountain house and left it cleaner than we left it for her :) She was so responsive, I never had to wait to hear from her and she even checked on my chickens and gave them a special snack, which was so nice! I was so relieved to be able to trust someone completely while I was far away. Would 10/10 recommend ❤️”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10. My families, friends and neighbors always relay on me for walk, feed and bath them I have very flexible schedule and I’m free mostly morning and afternoon. I like to spend my time outdoor at the beach and nature which dogs mostly love it too I always follow parent’s instructions to make sure their dogs will be safe and take them to safe environment that I know or recommended by them
About: Apart from having my own 4 year old Shiba (Kuma), I’ve grown up around tons of dogs. My mom has a german shepherd and a black lab! I used to volunteer at the Humane Society when I was in high school and I even got to foster my own! With having Kuma, my roommate has two cats that i’m absolutely in love with! As a college student, i’m majoring in Biology and i love learning about animals. I can’t wait to meet your dog! Since i’m in college, I have a pretty set schedule as of right now. I’m available all day on the weekends (including friday) and monday and wednesday after 5pm. On tuesdays and thursdays, i’m off around 7pm. Hopefully this isn’t confusing but i’m available most of the days, and all of the days in the evening. I think it’s very important for a dog to get their sunlight and exercise in so i’m happy to take them to a park or walk around the block or even just play with them in the backyard/home! I’m pretty good with routines and pick up on things quickly. I’m good with cleaning up after your pet, whether it’s their poop/pee of just making a mess. Whatever you need me to do, i’m glad to do it!
“Kaleta is amazing! The moment we met I knew she would care and love our animals and house as we do. She took great care of our dog who LOVED getting the exercise she needs with a 3 mile walk and daily park outings. We were spoiled with pictures of our fur-babies during our absence making us feel even more comfortable with our choice to use Kaleta. The most notable thing that set Kaleta apart is that she got our very elusive tortoiseshell cat out of hiding. This is no easy feat, so you know Kaleta is good people when she did this within a couple of days. We are so thankful for Kaleta and the wonderful service she provided. I highly recommend Kaleta!”

I have different fenced areas for the dogs to play. I also have different apartments the dogs can stay in. But i prefer all the dogs live and eat and sleep around us. I go on 1-2 walks a day. The Back of our property is a fenced 1acre fruit forest we allow the dogs to sit on couches and we have multiple dog beds around the house.
About: YOUR PAWS ARE IN GOOD HANDS WITH US :) :) Solution oriented, highly experienced with canines, and have a heart for helping people, and caring for animals...look no further. My wife Susie & I are originally from Missouri, and are high school sweethearts. We have lived on Kauai for 9 years, and are passionate in every way about dogs! We owned & operated a very successful in-home dog boarding business in Homer, Alaska for 3 years, where we averaged 6 dogs per day, and had almost 30 dogs staying with us on major holidays in our large 3-story home on five acres. We offered board & train services there as well. Besides boarding experience with all ages, breeds, and personalities, we have experience with training, breeding, volunteer vet work, canine healthcare, and have also served as dog handlers for an Iditarod sled dog team. Boarding with us: We have a wonderful home at the base of sleeping giant in the Wailua Homesteads in Kapaa. If your dog loves hiking, we certainly can fulfill that desire! We have cool tile flooring, and air conditioning for those hot Summer days, so there are no overheating concerns in our home. We have dog beds, human beds, and couches- all of which dogs are welcome on (we allow dogs to sleep with us too). We have a large backyard, and an enclosed back deck. We do not isolate our guests- they have complete freedom inside our home. When we go on walks, hikes, or trips- we utilize a leash for safety. We are not your average Rover sitters. We have such a great deal of experience, we know canine behavior, how to identify & treat health issues, how to adapt to every unique dog and their needs, and we care about our human customers just as much- acknowledging your specific needs & requests is very important to us, and we always maintain excellent communication. We are accustomed to some dog parents being hesitant and reluctant to leave their loved ones for a time, and we offer our support, reassurance, and patience with customers during that time, wether it be answering numerous questions, an extended delay to leave at drop-off, or several calls/texts requesting photos/updates- we're here for you, and completely understand. Feel free to reach out to us as often as you'd like while your dog(s) are with us to request updates/pics, otherwise we typically give you your space. We can pick-up and/or deliver your dog(s) to ANY location you’d like, just let us know (additional charges apply). Always stay in good communication with us regarding drop-off & pick-up days & times. Never arrive unannounced…we need notice before you are coming over (this is our home- not a commercial boarding facility with staff). What to bring at drop-off: 1. Food- enough for the length of your dog's stay with us. Sealed containers with kibble are preferred. We do not store guest dog food in our fridge, so please bring appropriate food (no frozen, cooked, or raw foods that need stored in our fridge or freezer). 2. Collar (or harness) & leash. ***Dogs must be kept on leash during drop-off & pick-up*** Please do not let them exit your vehicle upon arrival unless they are leashed. Same goes for pick-up...keep them on lead from our door to your vehicle please. Dogs that we DO NOT accept into our home for boarding (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY): 1. Aggressive dogs (aggressive towards humans or other dogs) 2. Dogs that have fleas 3. Intact males 4. Intact females during their heat cycle 5. Dogs that have extreme separation anxiety 6. Dogs that have accidents inside or not fully potty-trained (or mark inside) 7. Excessive barkers 8. Escape artists 9. Dogs that are destructive when left home alone House sitting: We offer premium house sitting services island-wide. We do require to meet with you first at your property to make sure it's a good fit, as we are very selective on where we stay, and who we're working with for live-in house sitting jobs. We're experienced home owners ourselves. Besides estate caretakers, we have been entrusted with the care and management of farms- both vegetable & orchard farms, & also livestock farms. We have personally owned dairy cows ourselves, and also have experience caring for horses, llamas, alpacas, sheep, goats & chickens. We are excellent with property management! Between Susie & myself, we also have experience with carpentry, electrical, plumbing, painting, power washing, house cleaning using natural non-toxic cleaning products, landscaping/lawn care, & tree pruning/hazardous tree removal. We are very well connected here on Kauai, and anything we don't know or can't handle ourselves- we know someone who can. We are caretakers at heart, and caring for animals is what we do best. We are the trustworthy family you have been looking for! We LOVE our job! We do not isolate dogs (unless owner requests us to), or it is absolutely necessary (we usually don't accept dogs for most of the reasons they may need to be isolated anyways). We treat them like they are part of our family (and they truly are while with us). The way we care for dogs varies specifically on a case by case basis. No two dogs, or owners, are the same, so we go with the flow (and requests/requirements/best interests) of the dogs & their owners wishes.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I’ve cared for pets all my life—each with their own quirks, rhythms, and personalities—and I understand how deeply they become part of the family. When I care for someone’s animals, I treat them with the same love, gentleness, and attention I’d give my own. I work online while building my business, which gives me the freedom to be present with your pets throughout the day. Whether that means keeping them company while I work, going for long walks, or creating a calm, cozy space while you’re away, I’m there to make sure they feel loved and secure. I’m responsible, respectful, and genuinely enjoy forming bonds with the animals I care for. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your home just as you left it, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing everything is handled with care. At the heart of it all, my goal is simple: happy pets, peaceful homes, and your peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently working on building an online business. I mainly work from home, which allows me a lot of time to spend with furry friends. I am happy to learn the ins and outs of how you and your pet’s preferences. My staying in your home is all about keeping the routine as much as possible. I have spent over 12 years online working as a private chef and cared for every home I have worked in and treated the being in someone’s intimate space with respect.

“Cheryl was great with our 5 year Aussie Cattle! They went on a hike and splashed around in a creek. Great with communication! Would definitely recommend her and book her next time we're in Jackson! Thanks Cheryl”

About: I've had cats and dogs throughout my entire life and genuinely respect them as sovereign beings. I always feel honored when a new animal accepts and trusts me to love and care for it. I have always taken care of friends and family pets. Everyone knows they will get lots of love, cuddles and extremely spoiled if the owner allows it of course. I would be working partime either on zoom or in clients homes. I would be available to give extra care to your pet or pets. I would never be gone too long and would be be able to take your animal out for play or walks frequently. I am very respectful of any space I am in and very respecful of keeping any pet schedules, medicine routines and walking times. For cats I always keep thier boxes clean if they have one.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hanapepe
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hanapepe on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 66 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hanapepe. 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 Hanapepe 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 Hanapepe 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 Hanapepe 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
