About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets for over 40 years. I have trained all sizes of dogs for obedience and hand signal commands. I am assertive and confident with dogs to build trust and loyalty. I am also good with other animals having run a farm for over 20 years. I carry pet sitter insurance. I am retired and looking for part time work in the Waikoloa area. Caring for animals everyday is something I am good at and it would be a dream job for me I have a fenced yard and a large inside area for pets. I am able to come to clients home to care for their pets.
“We could tell immediately when we got home that our dog and cat were relaxed and happy after Cathy took care of them for several days. Our cat can be pretty aloof at times, so it was great to see him acting like his normal self when we returned.”

“Leana took such great care of, Watson. Kept him entertained and well looked after. I cannot think of a better person to watch my little guy when I’m away. Thank you, Leana. You’re amazing!”

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.
About: Hey! Mark and Kendall here 🐾 Pet-Loving Couple 🐶✨ We want to walk your dog!! We're looking for more ways to get fresh air, as well as the lovely fulfillment that comes from playing with animals, and honestly we could use the exercise! lol. I have a bunch of dog toys too - let me know what game they like to play the most (frisbee, catch, tug-of-war) or if they're just chill and more snuggly- that's no problem either! We live in a residential home that has a large backyard with a pool, and even a doggy door [fits up to large dogs]! We are both animal lovers of all kinds, and are needing some doggo/kitty time. With 2 intentional animal care takers, your pet will surely have all the pets, mental stimulation, emotional connection, and exercise they can get! We are both available full-time for the moment and are eager to fill our time warming our hearts and helping our community <3 {Kendall} Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I've grown such an attachment to having a bundle of joy around. My family recently moved and brought the dogs with them. So living without pets for the past 8 months made me realized how important it is for me to care for loving lil sweethearts. Besides raising multiple dogs growing up, my pet sitting experience is limited to petting sitting my family-friend's dogs on several occasions. I'm able to walk dogs, feed them medicine, I almost always get dogs to warm up to me, especially through playing frisbee, catch, or tug-of-war! I also love a good relax time with the dogs, I can usually match the dogs vibe pretty well. {Mark} Hello all Im Mark, just like Kendall i have also grown up in a house with at least 1 dog present. I naturally get along with animals very well and try to give them a safe and comfortable space to be in. I will often times play the acoustic guitar in the house and al ot of the dogs ive done that around love to just lay near the music and relax, my familys bulldog would be a good example as he loves laying next to me while I play. Im excited to meet your pets! - Marky and Kenny Bear <3 My partner and I are full-time artists living in a spacious residential home. We're currently living at home full-time - which is a perfect opportunity to pet sit! We do leave the house about once a day (for groceries, events, dates, etc.) though someone may still be home. We also occasionally have people over, though they're almost all pet owners or vet techs. Also, every couple months we travel out of state to visit with family (and get out of the Phoenix heat!) Though since it's cooling down, we want to get outside and enjoy the nice weather, especially with a cutie bean of a pet! {Kendall} I'm an artist and part-time online reseller. My days often look like watering the garden, creating art at my desk or editing videos on my computer, listing items for sale online, as well as cook and clean. I do have friends over occasionally, though no worries- most of my friends are vet-techs believe it or not, or at least multiple-pet owners themselves. {Mark} I'm a musician who's recently produced an improvisational album and am currently working on distributing and releasing it to the public, as well as filming music videos. My days look like playing guitar for hours, working on my computer, watching football, and honestly playing video games. I've had a full-time job most of my life, but very recently switched to owning my own schedule. I'd be truly happy to care for a lil creature in the meantime! We are looking to fill our time directed towards caring for sweet animals, helping our community, and getting fresh air & exercise while doing it! We have a lovely, clean and spacious home with a fenced backyard. We have a doggy door, treats, a bunch of toys, a dog bed, and even a pool! There are no other animals who live here, which may benefit certain animals. We live in a lovely gated neighborhood to walk them in. Better yet (if you're okay with it), there's a glorious concrete and dirt trail along Sonoran Desert Drive that we already love walking on, might as well walk a dog too! We're excited to play with doggos, walk them, even swim with them! We're also excited to relax by the fireplace, listen to acoustic guitar or piano, or even cat nap in the sunlight glow in the courtyard. We're aware of more than just their basic needs, especially with a loving and conscious couple like us caring for your pet, we will ensure routine food, water, and exercise, as much as playtime, mental & emotional engagement, and intuitive attentiveness.

“Brittany was an incredible house and dog sitter. Although she has not utilized River long, she has been pet sitting for a long time. During the orientation and meet’s greet, she asked all the right questions. She wanted to know details of our dog’s typical routines and daily flow. She asked to see how Nelson’s harness worked and as well as how he likes to receive his eye drops. When we returned, the house was impeccably clean. She only asked a few clarifying questions while we were away but was sure to send daily pictures and videos of the dogs. Lastly, we truly appreciated the way she washed and cleaning all the bedding and towels, which was not expected. Brittany was very easy to work with and we will certainly reach out to her again when we travel off island next.”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable, caring animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m available for both house sitting and pet sitting. Im located on the east side of Big island and am flexible with traveling. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your home and pets in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! If you have any questions or concerns please reach out Corinne Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part time as a driver, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to travel to care for pets when needed. I’m able to adjust my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s stopping by for visits or staying overnight, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I don’t currently have pets of my own because I rent, so my focus is on caring for pets in their own homes where they’re most comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I also make sure to keep your home clean and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care and help your pets feel safe, happy, and relaxed until you return.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Honokaa is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $44 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 22 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Honokaa. 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 Honokaa 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 Honokaa 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 Honokaa 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.

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.
