“Daniel was a fantastic sitter for my cat over the holidays. He was able to come around the same time every day and did everything needed for my cat and went above and beyond to anticipate my pets needs. He sent many photos and updates, and was very quick to respond when contacted. Daniel was great, hoping he is available the next time I travel!!”
About: From hiking my dogs on mountains to caring for senior hospice dogs I’ve done it all. I fell in love with animals when my family had a taken in a rescue as a child. Small, medium or large I can handle them all. A fun fact about me is my first dog was actually deaf so we used sign language with her. I have a flexible routine and work schedule. Being around animals re fuels me and I love being on a dog’s schedule. I am able to adjust to your pets needs and lifestyle. I care for all animals as they are my LITERAL children. I have all the most for animals as they are beautiful creatures. Their safety and health are always my top priority.
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and from a very young age I've been entrusted by family and friends to help with all of their pets needs! I have a dog and cat that I make sure get everything they need. I take my dog for walks and I will play ball with him everytime he bring me a ball ( he always has a ball). My cat loves to have all of my attention so I make sure I split it evenly between the two. I can accommodate for any and all things your pet needs! I will treat them like family and make sure they are well cared for!
“Gako was amazing! she gave great updates each time she was with my dog and was very mindful of the training rules i have in place. she is very easy to communicate with before and during bookings. i will definitely be checking in with her next time i need a sitter. thanks again gako!!”
About: I always had dogs growing up and I would often puppy sit for friends. I recently lost my twelve year old pitty, Bella. I would love an opportunity to hang with furry friends. I work full-time, typical Monday - Friday from 9-5 and some Saturdays in Decatur. I am available in the evenings and some overnights during the weekend. Making sure they have their basic needs with food, water, and bathroom breaks. Lots of playtime, walks, or cuddles depending on the needs of your fur baby.
About: I have taken care of dogs for years. I’ve grown up with dogs and have even watched my family and friends dogs throughout my life. I will also make sure your dog gets the walk and exercise it needs as former college athlete ⚽️ I enjoy walking with your furry friend. I’m currently a remote worker here on island so I’m very flexible to meet your pet’s needs. Whatever time you need I can available to fit my schedule around. I have extremely safe and welcoming home here in Hawaii. It is a one bedroom apartment that even has a pet relief area for your dog’s needs.
About: I’ve always had pets of my own and love to give them the best care of their needs, whether it’s love & affection to mental or physical stimulation, I’m ready to enjoy the day with them, Your pup will have so much fun with my dog (Oreo) & I. We hike daily and if your pup is active, they are more than welcome to join us on any hikes that we do! Or if they just like simple short walks that’s great too! I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible, as long as I know ahead of time, we can work out a schedule that works out! I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks or for play time. If your dog is crate trained during the night and you wish to continue, I have medium size crate but you are welcome to drop off their own crate with them, if they like to rest in their own crate, otherwise they are free to roam around the house and rest anywhere! Does your dog have any allergies to food/other things? or is reactive with another dog, or around food? • please let me know in advance so I can take precautions. I love updates of what my pup is doing throughout the day, when I’m not with her, so if you love getting updates of pictures of your pup throughout the day or at the end of the day just let me know!
About: I fostered rescue kittens, puppies, and dogs for 10 years with my family through the Regional Animal Shelter of King County. I’m very experienced with anxious, reactive, and traumatized pets and understand how important patience, calm energy, and consistency are. I have two large rescue dogs of my own in Washington, including a highly traumatized German Shepherd, so I’m comfortable reading body language, managing reactivity, and creating safe, low-stress routines. I walk dogs up to three times a day and always prioritize both physical exercise and emotional well-being. I recently moved and no longer have pets in my home, and I’m truly missing that companionship. I’d love to give your pet the same attentive, compassionate care I give my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my week! I’m already out on daily walks and would love a dog to join me. My schedule is flexible Thursday through Sunday, so I can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, and quality hangout time. Spending time with pets adds joy and structure to my days, and I’m happy to match each pet’s pace. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, calm handling, and clear communication. I always use secure leashes and harnesses as directed by the owner, and adjust routes and to keep walks positive and low-stress. I follow all care instructions closely, respect each pet’s boundaries, and provide regular updates so owners feel informed and confident.
“Claudia was absolutely wonderful! She dropped in with our cat for 3 days and had great communication, friendliness, and lots of experience. I would happily trust her to look after him again! Would definitely recommend if you are looking for someone attentive and engaged with both you and your pet :)”
About: Born & raised around dogs and cats. I understand how important they are & how they’re family more than anything. I’ve taken care of dogs from German Shepard’s to Labradors to Miniature Poodles etc. I’ve taken care of older dogs who need to take medicine and younger dogs who need to be house trained. Seen it all! I go on walks throughout the day & make sure food & water & temperature is all good. I work very close to home, so I am able to come home for lunch if necessary. Activity outside is just as important for animals as it is for humans. I live close to a fenced dog park & take toys with me for playtime!!
“Gavin did such a great job checking in on our boy! He made sure he was fed and gave him lots of love while we were away. We’ll definitely be using Gavin again!”
About: As a former cat mom and a current dog mom I personally understand how difficult it can be to leave your pets behind, and the emotional weight of finding the right sitter that can give the attention and love that your fur babies deserve. I am committed to proving excellent pet care, with patience, love and lots of affection! I have raised kittens/puppies and my current dog is now 9 years old so I’ve experienced all stages of pet ownership. I will make sure they are well attended to, and receive adequate walks and physical/mental stimulation. You will receive photos daily and I will make sure to keep clear communication at all times. Rest assured your fur babies will be in great hands with me. I have a flexible schedule so as long as i know ahead of time when you need a sitter I will try my best to make it work. In my home, I make sure all trash, hazardous foods and little items are out of reach and I allow my dog free range inside and outside. She’s well trained in recall so I don’t leash her but I will follow any protocol that the client wants. Im adaptable and aware of common dog behaviors.
“Nea was fantastic with Rooster! He is still a puppy in potty training and she was very enthusiastic to help keep up the training for us. She was very detail oriented, taking notes of our requests and where to find things she might need. But more than anything our puppy loves her to death!”
“Malia was great! We felt very comfortable having her drop in for a visit with our dog for an hour to walk feed and play with him. We will for sure use Malia again! Thank you!”
“I can't say enough nice things about Josie-she is absolutely fantastic with my two dogs! She takes the time to teach them tricks and cares for them like her own. She is very thoughtful, she has cleaned up my dog's cage when they had an accident. I would highly recommend having her as a dog sitter! She is truly the best!!”
About: While I’m new to professional pet care, I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have always been around dogs and cats. I’m very comfortable handling animals and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. As a teacher, I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and dependable. I genuinely love animals and will treat your pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’m a full-time teacher, which means I’m available after 3:00 pm on weekdays and full-time on weekends. Pet care fits well into my routine, and I’m happy to accommodate regular walks, drop-ins, or occasional requests. I value punctuality and clear communication and will always respect your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions, use secure leashes and harnesses, and stay aware of surroundings during walks. I respect your home and understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s pet. I aim to provide calm, attentive, and reliable care at all times.
Honolulu dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jazmin was amazing with our 10-year old large poodle who was very shy at first. Jazmin did so well helping our pup overcome her shyness. She took her on long walks and gave her a lot of cuddles. Our pup looked so happy in all the pictures Jazmin sent us. We were so grateful to have Jazmin take care of our sweet girl. We also appreciated all the detailed descriptions Jazmin shared every day. We felt our pup was very well taken care of which gave us a peace of mind. I had bad experience on Rover before so I am super grateful to have found Jazmin. You can tell she loves animals and they love her.
I cannot say enough good things about Janey! She was absolutely amazing!! She treated my dog with patience and kindness and sent tons of pictures so I felt comfortable and informed every visit. You can tell she really loves animals and takes her job seriously. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again. Thank you Janey for everything!!
Jessica has been absolutely amazing! She was the first sitter we ever contacted, and she has been reliable and consistent ever since. From the very beginning, she put us at ease with her clear communication, kindness, and genuine care for Roxy. Grateful to have found her.
Sarai provided great report cards at every drop in visit - often with fun details about who our dog met while out on the walk (both human and canine). She was able to manage eye drops, special hygiene needs, and cater to our dog’s vision and hearing impairments. We would recommend Sarai and hope to rebook with her in the future.
I cannot recommend Ashley enough! She went above and beyond during her drop-ins with my dog Moana. Not only did she make sure Moana was fed, had fresh water, and went potty, but she also spent the extra time playing with her and giving her the love and attention she craves. I got detailed updates and the cutest pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. Ashley is reliable, professional, and kind. I will definitely be booking again!
Nea was fantastic with Rooster! He is still a puppy in potty training and she was very enthusiastic to help keep up the training for us. She was very detail oriented, taking notes of our requests and where to find things she might need. But more than anything our puppy loves her to death!
Daniel is fantastic! Although he is new to Rover, he clearly has a lot of experience with pet-sitting. He took wonderful care of our senior dog and cats. Daniel expertly used all of the features of the Rover website, to include logging check-in and check-out times, GPS tracking for walks, and report cards with photos for every visit. I have never had a sitter this thorough before. Speaking of photos, he took some great quality shots of our pets. I hope Daniel is available to sit for our next vacation, because I plan to be a repeat customer.
Jordan was not only extremely communicative and patient with last minute changing of plans, but was also extremely generous with her time, being willing to come over for a lengthy meet and greet with Willow prior to any stays or drop-in visits. She was able to follow Willow's detailed care guidance on her drop-in visit, and even stayed for a longer period of time than booked for. I am already planning to use Jordan's services again, and highly recommend her as a sitter!
