“Brandi is amazing! She took wonderful care of my dog and three cats for two nights in my home. I received lots of updates and photos, and it’s obvious that she really cares for the pets she’s responsible for. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Michelle was extremely kind and had great communication, kept me updated on my dogs overall status throughout the day. Was also very flexible with her times and scheduling. Would highly recommend and I would book her again.”
“Cora was able to come through and watch Lulu for us on short notice. She came for a meet and greet and Lulu took a liking to Cora. We would definitely hire her again! Cora is very sweet and caring! We highly recommend her! Thank you Cora for taking great care of Lulu!”
“Shalyn was amazing with our little Eddie. She sent lots of pictures and was very quick to respond while we were away. We came home to a clean home as well. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Veronica was an absolute dream to work with! Our older pups started experiencing some random symptoms about a week before our trip to Japan and we contemplated cancelling the whole trip but Veronica gave us so much comfort and reassurance which also gave us peace of mind. We were in communication every day and she also sent pics/videos which was so calming for us. Normally we don't worry as much but our dogs are 16 and 13 years old but Veronica was very understanding and we cannot wait to work with her again. Thank you!”
“I needed someone to play with my puppy so I could focus on working for one afternoon. Alina’s so helpful and is really patient with puppy. He loves her already after 4 hours of hanging out with Alina.”
“Ryan was a great pet/house sitter for our dog Maddie! He was available for our last minute need and very attentive to details. Ryan was very pleasant in our interaction and took wonderful care of Maddie. He sent updates during his stay and Maddie seemed happy and calm when we returned home. Hope to have Ryan stay again!”
“Colleen was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and consistently attentive, patient, and loving toward our pups. She truly went above and beyond by taking them on hikes, giving them plenty of walks, and making sure all of their individual needs were met so they stayed happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her attention to detail really stood out, especially since she gave one of our dogs medication and made sure it was administered correctly. What also meant so much to us was her communication. Colleen provided daily check-ins and updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away from home. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about our dogs, and we felt completely confident knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Colleen to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated dog sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“She cuddles with my babies! It's my first time having a dog sitter for my two shy dogs. Liz was natural to approach them and I could tell she's an animal lover. She sends pictures of their activities every time, which will put your mind at ease. She'll make sure that she has all important instructions and suggest if there's anything needed. She's our nanny now - thank you, Liz, glad to have you!”
“Janey did amazing with my Apollo and Athena. She kept up to date on walks, feeds, and my home. I highly recommend her for your babies. She will love them like her own! 10/10”
“Meghan is super nice and friendly. She went beyond and meet me and maze the day before. Maze was happy when I came home. Meghan took great care of her and I would book with her again😊”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alondra! She stayed at our home for the weekend to take care of our dog, Molly, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, Alondra was accommodating and professional. She came by ahead of time to meet us, get instructions, and pick up the keys, which helped us feel confident that everything would go smoothly. While we were away, she sent us daily updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing Molly was happy and well cared for. When we returned home, Molly was her happy self, and it was clear she had received plenty of love and attention. The house was also spotless—you honestly couldn't tell anyone had been there except for our happy pup waiting to greet us! What really stood out about Alondra was her genuine, warm spirit. She is kind, friendly, and easy to communicate with while also being dependable and professional. It's never easy to leave our sweet girl behind, but knowing Molly was in such caring hands made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip. We would absolutely book with Alondra again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other folks looking for a sitter. Thank you, Alondra, for taking such great care of Molly and our home! We appreciate you.”
“Our cat is usually a little standoffish with strangers but Ria was great with her. She sent frequent updates and pictures to us while we were away which was a relief since this was our first time using this service. We would definitely book her again!”
“Andrea was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! She kept us updated every day with pictures and messages, which meant so much to us while we were away. Our boys loved her, and she took such great care of both them and our home. We will definitely be using her again. We highly, highly recommend!”
About: Hey there! I’m an active, dependable animal lover who has been caring for pets for friends and family for years. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves walks, trail adventures, beach time, or a good run, I’m happy to keep them active and moving. If they’re more of a couch companion, I’m just as content spending the afternoon reading a book with a cat curled up beside me. My experience includes caring for dogs and cats of all ages, house sitting, looking after macaws, and owning reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and following detailed care instructions. I also volunteered at the California Living Museum, where I gained experience working around wildlife and developed an even greater appreciation for attentive, compassionate animal care. I’m clean, respectful of your home, and committed to keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. My goal is simple: to make your pets feel loved while you’re away and I get an adventure buddy. I currently work full time Monday- Friday in Chinatown. I can be there in the mornings and later afternoons/nights. Weekends just if I’m not on a boat or scuba diving I’m available. I cannot keep animals at my house per the rental restrictions. But I am more than happy to housesit/ pop in a couple times a day. Just let me know your preferences.

Naudia was absolutely wonderful! My fur babies felt so comfortable and at home with her while I was away, which gave me such peace of mind. I can’t thank her enough for taking such great care of them. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!
Megan was absolutely amazing with Lilly! Lilly can be a reactive dog and isn’t always the easiest with new people, but Megan was incredibly patient, calm, and caring with her. They quickly became best friends, which made us feel so comfortable knowing Lilly was happy and in great hands while we were away. Megan kept us updated, took wonderful care of both Lilly and our apartment, and we came home to a very happy and well-cared-for pup. We’re so grateful for Megan and would absolutely book her again!
Renee did a great job house sitting while we went on a weekend trip to a neighbor island. She was attentive and communicated quickly and efficiently. Hoku and Peaches seemed to do very well with her. My home was left in excellent/tidy condition which is very important to me. Much Mahalo!
I would give Alessandra 10 stars if I could!! It was an absolutely pleasure to book with her from start to finish - easy communication and she is clearly such a caring and conscientious person. Alessandra checked in with daily photos and videos of my cat —who was so well cared for!— as well as updates about the apartment. She left everything super clean and tidy when she checked out. Thank you so much for your care, Alessandra, wishing you every success and will definitely book with you again 💕
Janey did an excellent job caring for our dog and home. She shared daily texts and photos to keep us informed throughout our vacation. She clarified with us things she was not sure of and informed us of issues that came up. We came home to a clean fresh smelling house which “we really appreciated. We highly recommend her!
I have left my 2 dogs in the care of other people many times in the last 5 years. Having Elizabeth do in-house sitting, this was the first time I didn’t worry at all about my girls. She took amazing care of them and sent many updates and great pictures. My house was just like it was when I left as well. I highly recommend Elizabeth!

Liz took wonderful care of my 2 pups and house for the week! She updated me twice/day with photos and a few videos as well! She even checked that I made it home from my flight to make sure the dogs didn't need any additional care. I felt at ease on my trip knowing that my dogs were being well cared for!
Victoria is a joy to work with! She took excellent care of our Leia and sent daily updates and pics. We never worried about her care and was able to enjoy our travels away from home. She also left our home super clean, which was a plus! We would not hesitate to book her again. Thanks Victoria!
Andrés is the best sitter, hands down! While I've had Andrés housesit before, it was only for a night, but this time, he housesat for 5 nights. Pawson is so comfortable with Andrés because he takes such good care of him. Andrés followed all instructions to a tee, and he left things tidy. Andrés was communicative throughout my trip, sending updates regularly. Best of all, Andrés made sure that my Pawson was comfortable and active, relieving his stress. I'm so grateful for Andrés, and Pawson will definitely be seeing him regularly! Mahalo, Andrés!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Honolulu on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,022 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Honolulu. 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 Honolulu 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 Honolulu 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 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Honolulu. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
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.
