About: I am unavailable from 12:00 to 2:00pm everyday to attend my college class! Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s what I love. I’ve spent years working hands-on with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I truly believe every animal deserves patience, respect, and individualized care. From energetic puppies and shy rescues to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I’m experienced in adapting my care to each pet’s unique needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of reliable care. I’m primarily available during the morning and early afternoon, which allows me to provide attentive, unrushed visits that fit well with pets’ daily routines. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and relaxed. I follow your pet’s established routine closely—feeding, playtime, litter or potty care, medications, and quiet companionship—so their day feels as normal as possible while you’re away. I treat your home with respect, keep spaces clean and tidy, and take time to make sure your pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for. Thoughtful attention and reliable updates are always part of my in‑home care.
About: I have cared for a few different breeds of dogs since I was 14. Currently I have two French bulldogs that are puppies. They are brothers and are super friendly to others. I currently work evenings so I have my morning and afternoons available 5 days a week. Then full availability on 2 days of the week. I would play with the dog in the yard or house before walking. I would also ensure the dog is on a leash at all times while walking outside.
About: We both grew up living with and caring for multiple dogs, and our dogs have always been a very important part of our lives. We greatly enjoy getting to love on and care for dogs of many kinds. We are active and would love to play with your pup! :) We work in Honolulu, and are able to care for dogs in town! I (Hannah) have flexibility to make visits in during the day, and we both have evenings free for the most part as well. We had one dog, our Guava, who recently passed. We loved taking her on walks, giving her lots of treats and cuddles, and bringing her along with us on adventures. If your dog is cuddly or playful, we would be happy to give it love and attention, and if your dog loves to get out, we are very active and would be happy to give your pup some fun exercise time.
About: Having the opportunity of sitting pets in their own place makes a difference in their adaptation while someone new takes care of them. sometimes is easier for puppies or older pets to adjust when they are somewhere they already know. I enjoy sleeping, playing, cuddling or just share space with them. Also i find interesting the way you can stimulate them with games or new activities I am a student at Chaminade university and take my classes in the mornings. Staying with them is better for me so my free time i can dedicate it to them. I been a dogsitter and nanny for about 5 years now and I love what I do!! I’m a very responsible person, with experience in house sitting, so take care of your pet in your home is not only about their care but the responsibility and the opportunity of a new place. I can send daily updates and always have emergency contacts to communicate if there was any irregularities. I will go over your specific needs and theirs as well
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was really young from my mom asking me to feed our dog and trim our dog and feed him to my friends and neighbors asking me to watch their dogs and check on them. I have officially walked a couple dogs on this app and I can fully say that every dog that I have cared for has always left with a smile on its face. I have five cats one fully grown and four kittens of my own. I clean up once a day for them to stay clean and I feed them twice a day and give them affection any chance I get. I use to have a dog before I moved to Hawaii and I would give him baths whenever he got dirty and I would feed him and mix food for him once a day. Now my dog lives with my mom in the mainland and he is still as healthy as can be. I make sure to pick up after the pet if they had made a mess. I make sure they have the attention needed. I feed and water the pet on the preferred times and I also bathe them if needed. If they need to be given medicine I will ask how you would prefer me to give them the said medicine. I will make sure that everything is in order when leaving the house and/or dropping off the animal.
About: I have had pets and the responsibilities of pet care all of my life. I grew up with a variety of pets, including Persian cats, boxers, pit bulls, cocker spaniels and french bull dogs. In 2021, my husband and I adopted our own dog, Summit. He is a pit bull hound mix from Kauai Humane Society and the world's biggest sweetie. My friends and family have trusted me for years to give affectionate, responsible care to their animals and homes. Since I work from home, I'm able to be around 24/7. I love a change of scenery, so leaving my home to stay in someone else's for a week or more is no problem at all, ensuring your pet has consistency. I'm affectionate and will make sure your pet has cuddles, play time, and all of their needs met and exceeded. I work from home and have completely open availability. As long as I have enough notice, any day or time works. I can accommodate up to 7 consecutive nights of caring for your dog in your home. If I watch your pets in my own home, we will need to ensure your pet and my dog are a good fit together. He gets along best with small dogs. I have a fenced in backyard. But if I watch dogs or cats in your home, then I'm good with any pets!
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and getting to know their different personalities. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention. I’m responsible, patient, and will always do my best to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! I’m a full-time student at UH Mānoa, but I have plenty of free time in the afternoons and evenings! My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m able to work around different needs. I also go on daily walks around Diamond Head and would love to take a dog on the walk. I’ve had pets my whole life, so I know how important it is to make sure they feel loved and taken care of! I love going on walks with them, playing, and just spending time with animals. I’ll always make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention, and make sure they’re well cared for.
About: I am experienced with senior dogs who need extra care. Diapers, medication or gentle care I am experienced with. I’ve grown up with both small and large dogs my entire life. Your baby will be in good hands with me! During the work week I leave around 7am and return by 5pm. Weekends and days off I’ll be around home all day to ensure they are my main priority. Going out on walks/potty breaks will be a minimum 3 times a day and up to 5 times a day depending on needs. I send lots of pictures and updates!
About: Fortunately, I've had several dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been second nature. I even brought my own dog with me to college for three years before moving to Honolulu. Since being away from my pup, I've really missed having dogs in my daily life, which is what inspired me to join Rover. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I'll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I'd want for my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to their routine, I'm here to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you're away. I’ve always had a natural way with animals and jokingly call myself a “dog whisperer.” I love helping dogs feel comfortable and happy. My experience training my own pups has taught me patience, positive reinforcement, and how to connect with every dog’s personality. Hi! I'm Mya, a recent Hawaii Pacific University graduate and member of the HPU Women's Basketball team. I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Business ONLINE while living here in beautiful Honolulu. I work a part time job so I have so much time on my hands! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, loving environment where pets can feel at home. I’m experienced with following routines, providing supervision, and making sure every pet receives the attention, exercise, and care they need. I can accommodate crates, special instructions, and individual pet needs.
About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs and cats for friends and family. I’m comfortable walking dogs, feeding and playing with cats, following each pet’s routine, and providing dependable house and pet sitting. I treat every animal with patience, affection, and care, and I’ll make sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I work weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., so I’m available for early-morning and evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight pet sitting. I also have greater flexibility on weekends and will coordinate with you to keep your pet’s usual routine consistent. Please message me with your preferred time, as my weekday evening availability may vary. I care for pets in their own familiar environment and closely follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, and household routines. I keep dogs safely leashed, secure doors and gates, respect your home, and provide regular photo updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have raised more than 4 dogs and 5 cats from newborn to full grown adults so i'm comfortable with all stages. My passion is to make lazy cats and dogs show their active side.

I have a fenced area where i teach them to go potty before and after work and then we go for a long walk as a reward.
About: I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, always having dogs & cats in the house growing up. I help take care of my own animals and even family friends when needed. I can do anything from feeding, walking to even just stopping in for a quick hello! I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available every day in the afternoon and sunday all day! I have one energetic puppy at home that I keep entertained, so I have plenty of experience with a hyper dog or for a fun play date!

Michaela took such genuine care of my dog while I was gone. She was communicative every time she dropped in to feed/potty/walk my dog. Gave me info, pictures, and helped take care of my apt a little bit when things came up. I hope she’s available next time I need a sitter. ☺️
Daniela was absolutely wonderful with Nemo! She was kind, dependable, and attentive, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about him. I felt completely comfortable knowing Nemo was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Daniela to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, and I would gladly book with her again!
Rebeca is responsive, communicative, and reliable. She understands different dog breeds and was able to meet my dogs needs, which made us feel comfortable and at ease while away. Rebeca is gentle and takes instructions well. If you’re looking for loving pet care while away, I’d recommend her and would book again in the future 😊
Jenna went above and beyond to make sure my Bubba boy was well taken care of! Her warm energy makes it so clear that she has a genuine love for animals and her curiosity for his routine helped me feel comfortable knowing she was open to adapting if needed. Bubba can be stubborn and tricky but quickly warmed up to her which is a testament to her as a person and as a professional pet sitter. 100/10, would absolutely book again :) Thank you so much!
Very grateful and appreciative of Chloe’s help with dropping by daily to check in on my dog while I was away on a last-minute vacation for over a week! She provided daily updates with pictures and is professional, courteous and kind. My neighbors also happened to meet her when she visited and said the same. She was a pleasure and easy-going to work with! Would recommend again.
Our two small doggies had very good care while we were away. Both doggies were happy and comfortable, and our doggie on meds got them twice a day without fail. Dagmar has excellent communication - couldn't be any happier there. We recommend and wouldn't hesitate to book her again!
I rarely leave town but after meeting Janey I knew my old gal would be in great hands. Every walk came with photos of my baby and they gave me peace of mind that it was OK to be out of town for the weekend. Janey made the entire experience seamless and even fun Her attention to detail and positive attitude was what my family needed. 10 out of 10 would recommend and rebook again.... that ryhmed btw. Lol... Great job again and we hope to see you soon. Love J S and B

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Honolulu is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $37 per visit. 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 1,395 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Honolulu. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Honolulu 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!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
