“My entire family really enjoyed having Kaylee as our dog sitter. She was prompt, professional and terrific with our golden retriever. She was also just very nice and even sent us photos throughout the night.”
“Polina was amazing! She was very easy to work with and communicate with. My dog seemed very happy & well cared for both in photos that she sent and upon my return. I would rebook her in a heartbeat. Thanks for taking such good care of my dog & my house!”
“Amanda does a great job caring for my dog. I will continue to seek out her care in the future when looking for an in-house pet sitter. She always provides great care to my dog, is reliable, communicates well and takes care of the home. This is a repeat booking and she has proven her stellar consistency to provide great care. I highly recommend Amanda for any of your pet sitting needs. Don’t hesitate to book.”
“Tana is an incredible person! She took great care of our babies while we were away. She sent daily updates with photos and we know that our pups love her! Tana took our pups hiking every day and treated them as if they were her own. We are very grateful to have found Tana and we feel like she is part of our family! We trust her with our pups and will be booking her services regularly!”
About: Aloha! We have cared for many animals, plants, and homes over the last 5yrs as full time caretakers + pet au pairs. House sitting in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Bali, Vietnam, California, and Hawaii. As a medical professionals (nurses), we are extremely comfortable with administering medications and special care when needed. *** 50+ reviews on another platform - available upon request! *** Full time pet au pairs, so most of the time is spent caring for the pet and being comfortable in the home environment together - while enjoying the vibes of the local community. Prefer long term care arrangements of 2wks - 3 months. This allows time to bond with the pet, establish routines, and enjoy the experience at a slower pace.
About: I grew up on a small farm with many different animals. I’ve looked after a variety of animals since I was a child including rabbits, chickens, goats, ponies, frogs, sugar gliders, the list goes on. I have been training and showing dogs for a Labrador breeder since I was 9 years old and have experience with professionally showing and grooming dogs. I have a HUGE soft spot for cats. I have house sat for many people and have always been complimented on the quality of my care. With me, you can enjoy your time away from home knowing that your loved ones are safe and getting the best care possible. I work as a massage therapist in Kona town on Wednesday evening, and during the day Thursday-Saturday. My time away depends on how many clients book, with a maximum of 5 hours. I am very loving and kind towards all animals. I make sure they always have fresh water and get lots of pets (if they’d like). I will carefully follow the routine my client has in place and make sure their pets feel safe and comfortable in my care.
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: Not being able to have my own pets, as my apartment has strict pet rules, I enjoy meeting new fur friends and spending time with them if they are needing some company while you are away. I have dog sat for three different families regularly for the past 3 years and love being around both cats and dogs. I have great attention to detail, so if your fur babies have any specific needs they will be met. I typically stay in-house being that I feel animals are more comfortable in their own homes doing their usual routines. Pet care doesn’t typically fit in my daily routine, it fits more with a last minute weekend get away or vacation. I would like to meet and greet prior to the dates needed to make sure I have a full scale of how they like to spend their time with family around. I care for pets typically the best in their own homes. I think the comfort and security of being in their familiar environments eases the stress of a new person in their home. I will learn their everyday routes for walks, what treats they enjoy the most and am attentive to their needs.
About: I’ve dog walked and dog sat for over a year and on and off for about 5 years. I’ve always loved being around animals, I grew up in a dog family and have always enjoyed walking dogs playing with them or sitting on the couch and snuggling with dogs. They’re truly happiness and every dog I’ve ever met has always put a smile on my face. As of right now I currently work part time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. Do any days of the week work I’m a trustworthy and reliable person and will prioritize spending time with your animals making sure they’re happy and safe. I can only stay at a clients house as I can’t bring any pets to my place as I’m renting.
About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, a German Shepherd, who has been with me since he was a puppy. I currently work afternoon shifts from 2 pm to 10 pm, which means I’m fully available in the mornings for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your dog. My days off are usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when I have full availability and flexibility. I’m reliable, organized, and always plan my schedule carefully to make sure every dog gets the attention they deserve. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication at all times. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding routines, feeding, walks, and house rules. I’m respectful in clients’ homes and always make sure dogs are secure, comfortable, and calm. I keep environments clean and controlled, and I treat every dog as if it were my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Holualoa
Kaylee was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our pets and was incredibly communicative throughout our trip. She sent us the sweetest pictures and updates, which made us feel so comfortable knowing our pets were in good hands. You can truly tell she has a genuine love for animals and cares about the pets she watches. She was also so flexible and accommodating when we needed to extend our booking at the last minute, which we really appreciated! Kaylee is such a sweetheart, and we will definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much, Kaylee! 🩷🐾
Bryan was very kind and loving with our pets. We were called away on an emergency off-island and could not give much notice of our need. He kept our home very net and tidy as well. My boys are two old men cats and are skiddish around most men but warmed right up to Bryan. I have a special needs cat who takes medication daily and Bryan was amazing with him. I would definitely recommend Bryan for all pet needs.
Angela is amazing, compassionate, gentle, caring, nurturing with my family member (pet). I rarely leave my dog so was very stressed out about doing so. We had a pet meet and greet first and I knew I had found the right person. She came inside and immediately sat on the floor to meet my little dog. Angela sent me photos and videos and when I returned, my dog was quite happy to be around her. This showed me, we made the right decision. End your anxiety and stress, use Angela. Highly recommend.

The average cost of House Sitting in Holualoa is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $111 per night.

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 Holualoa 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 Holualoa 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 Holualoa 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.
