“We were a little nervous since this was our first time using Rover, but Samantha made the entire experience so easy. We appreciated receiving all the regular updates with lots of pictures, and quick communication. It was clear our pet was in good hands with her. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with again with Samantha and highly recommend her to anyone in the area!”

About: As well as having my own pets throughout my childhood and adult life, I have worked in an animal rehoming centre for 3 years where I cared for dogs and cats on a daily basis. I also worked for a dog walking business and volunteer at the local dog shelter! I am a British Royal Air Force veteran with work experience as an Explosive Detection K-9 Handler. My husband is active duty and we will be here in Honolulu for the next 3 years! I have lots of spare time to take care of your fur babies and cater to their needs! I live in a 2 story house with a yard that is securely fenced. I have a 3 year old catahoula leopard mix named Piper who is great with other dogs. All breeds of dogs are welcome in my home and will receive plenty of love and care!

“I can't recommend Karina highly enough—truly the best caregiver we've ever had! She was incredibly reliable, attentive, & clearly cared deeply for Frankie's well-being & curious to learn more about Frankie. We returned to a happy, healthy little bunny & a perfectly maintained home. Her communication was excellent throughout, giving a complete peace of mind while we were away. I enjoyed the meet & greet prior to the scheduled days, Karina as a person is an absolute delight. She brings warmth and professionalism to the interaction, she's enjoyable to be around. Her actions & dependability spoke louder than words—Trust is especially the most important & Karina proved to be exceptionally trustworthy to us. Frankie also took a liking to Karina very much, came out of hiding to meet her. I think she also got used to the abundance of playtime & attention. Thank you Karina! 🤍🐇”

About: From the first day I was born, I was surrounded by cocker spaniel puppies of my mother's. I was raised to care of different types of animals from dogs, cats, fish, turtle, bunnies, and mice! I have a great fondness and love for animals, especially dogs. We lost our 9 year old Maltese last August and would like to take care and provide some love for other dogs. I've house-sit/dog-sit my neighbor's black lab since 2008, and occasionally dog sit my friend's Australian Shepherd-Corgi mix puppy. I've also house-sit/dog-sit my coworkers black German Shepard several nights last year. I'm sometimes described as a dog whisperer, as dogs have had a natural fondness and friendliness with me. I have a night job as assistant manager/server in DT Bellevue, but morning and afternoon are wide open to take care of your furry companion.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and am comfortable caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have experience with everything from energetic pets who need a good walk to seniors who need a little extra patience and care. I also have plenty of experience with large breeds—I trained and raised our 120-pound Bloodhound, who was part of our family for 12 years, so big dogs definitely don’t intimidate me! I’m comfortable with basic training reinforcement, different temperaments, and adapting to each pet’s individual routine. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walking, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own home and familiar surroundings while getting plenty of attention, exercise, and care. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and am primarily available for drop-in visits and walks during school hours. My availability varies slightly from week to week, but I’m usually able to accommodate a few appointments throughout the week and have some limited evening availability as well. I keep my Rover schedule updated and am happy to work with you to find times that fit both your pet’s routine and my availability. I’ll care for your pets in their own home with the same respect and attention I’d expect for my own. I’m careful to follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications, litter care, and any house rules. I’ll respect your home and privacy, make sure doors and gates are secure, and keep you updated so you can feel confident that both your pets and your home are being well cared for.

About: I’ve always had multiple dogs growing up and once I got out of grad school, I decided to get a dog to call my own. But I tell everyone that she found me, not the other way around :) From walks, to dog parks, to hikes, and many more, I enjoy spending time with dogs and seeing them happily play with their friends (both new and old). I have experience caring for dogs who are sick or who may have some anxiety. With that, I’m big on taking photos of pets, so you’ll constantly receive updates from me. I work from home full time and am able to take fur friends out on walks throughout the day. My neighborhood is very dog friendly and there’s always a new dog on the block to make friends with. I recently lost my fur baby of 11 years. I work from home full time so I’m able to care for your pup depending on their needs and how often they need to walk/be outdoors. I still have three beds to choose from so your pup will also be able to choose from that selection.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire life. I’ve had all pets that range from fish, reptiles, dogs, and cats! My love for animals will always be one of my strongest qualities. They say we don’t deserve pets and it’s true. They show us genuine love without speaking a word. I would love to care for your pet while you are away. I’m available to offer a piece of mind or updates at any time. I’m a stay at home wife so I’m willing to cater to all your pet needs. I’m a stay at home wife so I’m willing to accommodate to any of their needs. Whether it be in my home or yours, I am experienced enough to give them the adequate care that need! I have two cats at home that are very friendly. Before my cats and moving to the island I had a Rottweiler who was well trained in walking and basic commands. I believe that I give my pets the patience and love to thrive in their environment. I believe in reward systems and walks for big dogs. If they are in my home I can provide them with enough space, walks, and cuddles in your absence. My home is welcome to all furry friends!

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. My family dog, Buddy, is 12 years old, and we’ve had him since I was in 7th grade. Even after moving out, I still help care for him by taking him on his midday walks and spending time with him whenever I can. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I also understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet isn’t always easy. If I were hiring someone to care for Buddy, I’d want someone who is dependable, respectful, and keeps me updated every step of the way—and that’s exactly the kind of sitter I strive to be. I’m very communicative, flexible, and reliable. I’ll always follow your instructions, respect your home, and send plenty of updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and having a great time. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. Since I’m home most days, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home where they’re most relaxed. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime, walks, and lots of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets (cats), including feeding, daily care, mild grooming, and nail trimming. As a veterinary technician student, I’ve also gained valuable animal handling and care experience through my studies and one year of internship experience at an animal hospital. My background has helped me develop patience, attentiveness, and an understanding of how important it is to recognize an animal’s individual needs. While most of my personal pet care experience has been with cats, I’m excited to extend that same level of care, compassion, and responsibility to dogs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level, and I’ll always prioritize their safety and well-being! I’m currently working part-time so I am available for the most part. Weekdays between 8a-1pm and pretty free on the weekends after 4pm. I am flexible so please don’t hesitate to reach out regarding scheduling concerns. As a longtime pet owner and veterinary technician student with animal hospital experience, I understand the importance of creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. In my home, I prioritize proper hygiene, fresh food and water, a clean litter area, and plenty of attention while respecting each pet’s boundaries and personality. When caring for clients’ pets, I follow their routines and instructions closely to help minimize stress and maintain consistency. I understand that cats especially can be sensitive to unfamiliar people and environments, so I always approach them with patience and allow them to adjust at their own pace. I’m happy to accommodate individual feeding schedules, playtime, grooming needs within my experience, and other care instructions to help pet parents feel confident that their fur babies are in caring, responsible hands.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hickam Air Force Base

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
