About: I've had a dog ever since I was about 6 years old. I'm just turned 25 so that's just about 20 years of experience! I've started pet sitting and housesitting when I was 15 years old. I have taken care of all kinds of breeds from goldens, to herding dogs, and (my personal faves) bully breeds. I can work with all types of temperaments and energy levels :) I am currently serving active duty in the Marine Corps, so my days can look quite different, which is why I prefer weekends. During the week days I have PT starting at 5:30AM and don’t get off of work until 4:30. However I do have a 2 hour window during lunch from 11-1, but that is not always guaranteed. On the weekends I am completely open! I go to church on Sundays but other than that I am available. For overnights I prefer to come to the house at least a day in advance in order to see where everything is and what set up the pet(s) have. During the stay I try my best to send updates with pictures to ensure the pet owner is kept in the loop on a daily basis!
“We were so lucky that Keala was able to watch our dog, especially so last-minute. We needed to leave town for a funeral over a holiday long weekend. Keala made herself immediately available to meet. She is extremely professional, very reliable and responsible - she took excellent care of our dog and our home while we were away. Our family highly recommends her and will certainly contact her again in the future.”
“Madelyn was great! We have an older dog who needed meds during Madelyn’s stay. She had no issues administering them to him and upon our return home, she left detailed notes and kept us informed that he was okay while we were away. Our dog has some anxiety but felt immediately comfortable upon meeting Madelyn. We will definitely use her again! Thank you so much for taking great care of Austin!”
About: I have always had a dog present since I was born. With that I have always wanted to build a strong connection with them. This includes belly rubs, giving treats, going for walks/venturing, or playing with doggy toys. I am currently working a part-time job and typically available at the beginning of the week. I do sometimes pick up shifts but I am pretty flexible with my time. During my days off I will have a plethora of time for your pets to keep company for a walk or being social. I often times like to match a pets energy. If they need some play time, I will be more than happy to give them needed attention. If they would like to have a more chill day, we can go for a nice calm walk or just relax outside on the grass.
About: *Services will NOT be available from 12/21/26-01/06/27 as I will be off island!* Aloha, I’m Kawehi! I’m new to Rover, but not new to caring for animals. I’ve had 7 cats & 3 dogs of my own through the course of my life. Growing up, I’d take in pretty much any lone animal I could find! In 2021 and 2022 I had the privilege of fostering several litters of kittens and I loved that experience so much! I’ve also worked with a few special needs kitties and dozens of senior cats and dogs through volunteering :) I currently work full-time as a Registered Behavioral Technician and work with special needs children, so I’ve had to put fostering on hold. I do still have plenty of time to care for your fur babies and am looking forward to it! ☺️ I’m generally available after 3pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. My calendar is generally accurate, but of course, sometimes things come up last minute! You are welcome to message me anytime and happy to answer any questions! I love getting to know new animals and all their little quirks. As a long-time cat owner, and behavioral technician, I'm very attentive to pets' body language and what they're trying to signal. Autonomy, regardless of species, is very important to me. 🩷
“Alycia watched our sweet little boy while we were out of the country on really short notice. She was communicative and kept our place pristine. I would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
About: Hi there! I'm Jackie, a dedicated dog lover with a passion for providing exceptional care for your furry friend. I've had the pleasure of caring for a husky in the past and currently have a loving minpin/chihuahua mix. My experience with dogs of all sizes has taught me the importance of understanding each pet's unique needs and personality. While I can't personally own a cat due to my boyfriend's allergies, I'm happy to provide loving care for your feline friend. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and would be thrilled to offer companionship and attention. I'm an active person who loves to walk, so if your pet needs plenty of exercise, I'm up for the challenge. Whether your dog requires daily walks or simply needs a comforting presence, I'm here to provide the care and attention they deserve I'm a part-time worker who loves spending time with animals. I'm happy to take pets on adventures or provide in-home care on weekdays and weekends "I'm committed to providing your pet with the best possible care. Please let me know your specific preferences for feeding, walking, cleaning, playing, and crating your dog. I'm also happy to accompany your pet on walks or hikes if you'd like
“Michaela was a wonderful dog and house sitter. She kept me updated on how the dog was doing. She sent lots of pictures. Very satisfied. I would book her again everytime if I could.”
“I am very appreciative that Karen was able to take over for another sitter. She was at a disadvantage because we did not get to meet before the stay started. So, she missed out on the intricate details of each dog and their behavior. But, she was caring and professional and did what was required. Also left the house so clean and even vacuumed! During the stay we gave her some tips to control one of our anxious dogs. She followed the instructions and made the rest of the visit much better. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Veronica was an absolute dream to work with! Our older pups started experiencing some random symptoms about a week before our trip to Japan and we contemplated cancelling the whole trip but Veronica gave us so much comfort and reassurance which also gave us peace of mind. We were in communication every day and she also sent pics/videos which was so calming for us. Normally we don't worry as much but our dogs are 16 and 13 years old but Veronica was very understanding and we cannot wait to work with her again. Thank you!”
“Rebecca has looked after our cat and dog several times now over the summer and has always managed to keep them both happy and secure, despite their very different personalities! They genuinely enjoy to her visits - we'll have to get out more often! Highly recommended.”
“Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing with my anxious dog Penny. She knew how to approach her and talk to her without any trouble. Penny usually barks at new people but she didn’t bark once at Kaitlyn which is when I knew that Kaitlyn was perfect for Penny. She was able to get close and feel at ease. She did an amazing job at watching Penny and kept me updated with texts and pictures throughout the day which was amazing and reassured me that my dog was given love and care the whole time. My previous Rover sitter had not contacted me in a couple days and Kaitlyn was able to squeeze me in at the last minute! I am so grateful for that. I will definitely be seeking out Kaitlyn again for any future days that I am away from Penny as she is very trustworthy and amazing with fur babies. I’ll know she’ll be well taken care. I’ll definitely be recommending Kaitlyn to everyone that I know that will need a sitter.”
“This was the first time we have left our pup Milo for a week with a stranger. I was pretty nervous about it but as soon as I met Melissa I knew he would be taken care of! She updated us daily with texts and photos, and I wanted her to feel welcome in our home. When we got back, it was just the way we left it! Definitely recommend!”
“Having Shalyn stay over was the best option for our fur babies. Our 2 boy dogs LOVED her right away and were so excited to have her. Our little girl who is typically standoffish warmed up to her within a couple of days. Appreciated the daily pictures! So much better than boarding them. I know they would have been stressed if they weren’t home with Shalyn spending so much quality time with them. Thank you again!!!”
“Lei is a true animal lover at heart, you can just tell from how happy and excited she was to care for our pup. She was a reliable and trustworthy care taker for our dog and home while we were off island. She made sure to communicate well about our pup and home. Our pup was happy and seemed to have a great time with Lei. I would highly recommend her for house/pet sitting or any other needs.”
About: As owner of Doggie Paddles for nearly 25 years,I'm confident, but not cocky regarding my ability to anticipate the needs of both pets and their owners. I've cared for every size dog from teacup to giant. Some impeccably trained, others not so much. I loved them all equally. I recognize while many pet sits are similar to each other, each pet brings his/her unique process in how they react to being away from their owner. I currently work from 830 am to 330 pm in an office in Temple Valley Monday through Friday. For cats, this shouldn't affect their care. For dogs, their mid-day visit would fall between my office hours. If for whatever reason the mid-day doesn't seem necessary then I won't perform one. Likewise if your in Kaneohe I can likely run over there. I'm a non-smoker and rarely cook in an owners kitchen. Privacy/security is important to me. I'm off the grid as far as socials for the safety of my clients and myself. I'm also not on vacation. While there's no job that makes me as happy as working with pets, I'm there for your fur-kids.
“I would highly recommend Ky for all of your pet sitting needs! She took care of our high maintenance pups while we were out of town for over a week. Both of our pups come with their own unique behavioral issues and Ky handled them like a pro. She sent us daily updates and left our place nice and clean. We will definitely be using her again!”

Kelly took great care of Monty and made sure our home was OK during a crazy weather event on Oahu. She was also great to coordinate and communicate with and was able to help care for our home and pupper when we needed to be away due to a last minute stay in Waikiki. I would highly recommend her!
John was absolutely incredible with our 3 dogs (that range in age and size - 12 yr old Golden, 10 yr old Golden, 3 yr old mini-poodle)! He stayed the night while we were traveling allowing the pups to feel comfortable in their own home. He even sent pictures to us throughout the day. The pups had a blast!! He is a licensed veterinarian and an epidemiologist, which made us feel extra comfortable. He also agreed to an initial meeting with the pups before the booking. We will absolutely be using John again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,017 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Heeia. 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 Heeia 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 Heeia 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 Heeia 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 Heeia. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
