“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.”

“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!”

“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!”


About: Aloha! I’m Morgana, a longtime Oʻahu local, lifelong animal lover, and someone who’s generally happiest around animals, the ocean, or both! I have a degree in Marine Science from UH Mānoa and have spent years working and volunteering with animal care and conservation organizations here in Hawaiʻi and abroad. Animals have always been a big part of my life, whether they’re furry, feathered, or swimming in the ocean. I’ve also spent time working in a veterinary setting, which has taught me to pay attention to the little things, like changes in an animal’s behavior, appetite, or energy. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I really enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel happy, safe, and comfortable. Outside of work, I’m a creative person who loves music, , hiking, and reading. I’m just as happy going for a nice walk as I am having a quiet evening at home with a furry companion curled up nearby. I’ve also spent years managing and caring for private homes also a prior Airbnb host/owner so I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with someone in your space. I’m tidy, respectful, communicative, and always try to leave everyplace I go a little better than I found it. One of my favorite things about pet sitting is getting to know each animal’s little quirks and building a relationship with them over time. Whether your pet is a cuddle bug, a playful goofball, or a slightly suspicious cat who needs a little time to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they are and my goal is pretty simple: happy pets :) and owners who can enjoy their time away without worrying about what’s happening back home. And yes, I’m always happy to send photos and little updates along the way! 🐾 I work a hybrid schedule here in Honolulu, so my mornings, evenings, and weekends are when I have the most flexibility for pet care. I enjoy starting and ending my day with some fresh air, a walk, and a little animal companionship! Some days/weeks I have the ability to work remotely other times I will go into the office. For overnight stays, I’m happy to keep pets comfortable in their own home and maintain their usual feeding, walking, and bedtime routines. I know every animal has different needs, so I always like to chat with owners beforehand to make sure my schedule is a good fit. I’m especially happy to build ongoing relationships with local families and become a familiar, trusted face for their pets. I think the best pet-sitting relationships start with good communication and a little trust on both sides! I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet in person or virtual before booking so we can get acquainted, go over expectations, and most importantly, make sure your pet feels comfortable with me. Being local to Oʻahu makes this especially easy, and I love having the opportunity to meet families in person. When staying in someone’s home, I’m mindful of their privacy, belongings, and household preferences. I like to ask questions upfront rather than make assumptions, whether that’s about visitors, household rules, emergency contacts, or your pet’s favorite hiding spot. I’m also a big believer in keeping owners in the loop. I’m happy to share little photo updates, funny moments, and reassurance that everything is going smoothly. My goal is for you to feel like you’ve left your home and furry family members with a trusted friend, not a stranger.
About: Hi, I’m Lani! I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have been caring for them since I was a little girl. To me, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I treat every pup I care for with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m a proud dog mom to my fun-loving, friendly girl, Dreamy! She’s house-trained, sweet, and loves making new furry friends. 🐾 I’m especially excited to offer house sitting, where I can stay in your home and give your pets plenty of companionship, cuddles, playtime, walks, and attention while you’re away. I know how much peace of mind it can bring to know your pets are happy and comfortable in their own home—and I’m happy to help keep things running smoothly while you’re gone. I’m also available for dog walking and drop-in visits if your pup just needs some exercise, potty breaks, playtime, or a little extra love during the day. Whether your dog is energetic and ready for an adventure, a professional cuddler, or somewhere in between, I’d love to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐕💛 I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🏡 Work-From-Home & Flexible Schedule I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be around throughout the day. This is especially great for pets who enjoy having someone nearby for companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m available for overnight house sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits, and I can work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I love being able to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your pets can feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. 🐾💛 I have a fenced and large back yard so there's plenty of room for your pup to run and play. I am also able to crate train if needed.
“Meghan is a wonderful pet sitter. She’s really patient and kind with my very shy dog! She texts status updates and photos. So glad we were able to have her stay with our pets.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. From super young when I had a ton of dogs and bunnies. As an adult it’s the first time I have my own dogs. I love them to death and they super friendly and playful and would love to make dog friends. I have a full time job but I live super close to work so I can check on the dogs during my lunch break but my afternoons are usually free so they will have all my time. I just want to make sure the pet is comfortable with me in their / my home, I would give them all the affection if that’s what they need & make sure they’re safe & well taken care of.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars for Mio! Mio is truly an exceptional dog sitter. From the moment we connected, it was clear how much care, attention, and genuine love she brings to her work. She went above and beyond in every possible way - daily updates, thoughtful photos, and a level of attentiveness that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My pups absolutely adored her, and it was obvious they were not only well cared for but genuinely happy.”


“Shannique is awesome! This was her second time housesitting/dogsitting and she was just as warm, reliable, and caring as she was the first time. I'm grateful to know that whenever we book Shannique we don't have to worry about a thing while we're gone. We've already booked her for another stay!”
“We have two Beagles, a 16 year old and a 7 year old who is a medical testing facility rescue. Because of the age of the 16 year old and the sometimes jumpy nature of our rescue beagle, we are very selective of who watches them when we are away. Beyond the needs of the dogs, there is the concerns of having someone you may not know well staying in your home while away. In both regards, we had no concerns with Aariah at all. Our dogs instantly loved her and were excited to have her around and as for us, we could tell that she was exactly what we were looking for. Aariah is polite, responsive and shows a genuine care toward the dogs. She left everything tidy and well cared for. We have already booked her again and would recommend her to others as well.”

“Seriously, the best dog sitter ever. My two GSD’s are not typical dogs. They like to bond with a person and enjoy lots of walks. VIctoria treated them like royalty, sent me a ton of pictures and walked the dogs several times a day. My house was clean when I got home and she had even washed and tied the sheets. I can’t say enough good things about her”


About: As a lifelong pet lover, animals have always been a central part of my home and heart. I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Whether your pet is an energetic pup who needs long daily walks, a high-strung rescue needing a gentle touch, or a senior kitty looking for a quiet lap, I tailor my care to their individual routine. I am particularly experienced with sensitive and special needs pets. I understand that nervous, anxious, or fearful animals require extra patience, soft communication, and strict adherence to their comfort zones. I am fully comfortable and meticulous with routine medication administration (oral/topical), managing specific dietary needs, and monitoring behavioral cues to ensure your pet feels secure, safe, and loved while you are away. I own and operate my own internet-based business, which allows me to work 100% remotely from my laptop. Because I set my own schedule and work from home, your pet will rarely be left alone. I am available for frequent pot-breaks, playtime, mid-day walks, and strict medication schedules throughout the day. My flexible routine allows me to adapt entirely to your pet’s typical home environment, making my care ideal for sensitive, anxious, or special-needs pets who thrive on consistent company and minimal disruption. When caring for your pet, safety, trust, and keeping their routine intact are my highest priorities. Because I work remotely, I am able to give your home and pet dedicated, low-stress supervision throughout the day. I treat your living space with the utmost respect, maintaining high standards of cleanliness, security, and privacy while ensuring your pet feels completely safe in their own familiar environment. To minimize anxiety, I strictly adhere to your established ground rules, feeding schedules, and medication routines. During our daily activities, I maintain full focus on your pet's well-being by keeping dogs securely leashed, staying mindful of environmental triggers, and providing a calm, patient atmosphere where sensitive or special-needs pets can relax and feel completely cared for while you are away.
About: Aloha! I’m Claryssa — a local college student, lifelong animal lover, and proud “Island Aunty” to every pet I meet. What sets me apart is how much I care about creating comfort and trust, whether it’s your energetic puppy or your mellow senior dog who just wants cuddles and company. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have experience with dogs of all sizes — from tiny terriers to big lovable mastiffs. I’m patient with shy pets, calm in new situations, and always focused on making sure your furry friend feels safe and happy while you’re away. I’m also super active, so if your dog loves walks, beach time, or play sessions, I’m your girl! But I’m just as happy spending quiet time with senior pets who need a gentler touch. You can count on me to treat your pets like ʻohana — with lots of love, care, and aloha every step of the way As a college student with a flexible class schedule, I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! I’m usually free before and after classes, which means your furry friend will never have to go long without attention, walks, or cuddles. Whether it’s morning playtime, midday check-ins, or evening strolls, I love fitting pet care naturally into my day — it’s honestly the best part of my routine! I always tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether I’m staying in your home or caring for your pet at mine, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I pay attention to routines — from feeding times to favorite toys — and keep their environment calm, clean, and stress-free. Every pet is different, so I adjust my approach to make sure they’re happy, relaxed, and treated just like family.
“Tia went above and beyond to take good care of my pets, despite the huge challenge and frustration of a broken elevator in my building. She was great at communication and sent lots of pictures. My apartment was exactly as I left it, and she even brought a couple packages inside that arrived while I was gone. 10/10 highly recommend!!! Thank you, Tia!!!”

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 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: 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.
“Really glad I booked Luis. He was very patient and caring to my 12 year old American Bully. He followed my feeding instructions and also administered Meds to my bully. He kept my house clean and updated me with videos. I was able to travel care-freely knowing my dog was in good hands. Definitely will book again.”

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for 45+ families across Oahu and have years of hands-on experience working with animals both through pet care and my job at a veterinary clinic. This has given me a strong background in animal health, behavior, and caring for pets with different needs, including medication and special routines. I really enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners and making sure every animal feels safe and comfortable while their family is away. You can also check out Emma’s Pet Pals on Instagram to see photos and testimonials from past clients. I only work 1-2 days out of the week therefore I'm always happy to help new petsitting families! For my pet families who need constant, almost always supervised care it's best to notify me early in advance as I am always open to adjusting my schedule to best suit your pets needs. Knowledge is key! I have experienced so much in the animal industry and I think it's best to know everything about your pet from their behavior, their allergies, their past history as well as your expectations.

Our second time booking with Melissa for overnight pet care for a long weekend. Our pets are always very happy and well cared for when we get home. Melissa keeps us informed about whats up with them and the walks our doggo has been on while we’re gone. Highly recommend and will continue to book Melissa to care for our pets when we can’t be there!

Amazing experience with Aariah! She is incredibly nice, caring and trustworthy. She watched my dog while I was away for the weekend and I cannot recommend her enough. Leaving my dog behind while I travel is never easy but she made the experience less stressful. You can tell she really cares about dogs and treats them like her own! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter that is reliable and trustworthy,

Eva was absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of our dog for 10 days and treated her with so much love and attention. We received photos and videos every day, which was so reassuring while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone! ❤️

I seriously don’t even know where to start because she is literally the BEST!! 🥹🤍 I cannot recommend her enough. Being so far away from Teddy is always hard for me, but she made me feel like I was still right there with him the entire time. She sent us sooo many adorable pictures and updates and always made sure we knew exactly how he was doing. The amount of love and care she gave Teddy honestly meant so much to us. She treated him like he was her own, gave him so much attention and love, and I could tell how comfortable and happy he was with her🥹 I truly could not have asked for a better person to take care of my baby. She is such a sweet, caring person and genuinely one of the best dog sitters out there. If you’re looking for someone to love and care for your dog while you’re away, BOOK HER!! 🤍 We are beyond thankful we found her and will absolutely be booking her again and again!!

Elizabeth took such good care of my pup Remy and cat Sherlock while in home sitting while I was out of town. She was super communicative and sent so many adorable photos. Remy can be a little uncertain when meeting new folks but she warmed to Elizabeth quickly and felt so comfortable with her. Sherlock has diabetes and requires insulin injections twice a day. Elizabeth was proactive about making sure we were both comfortable with the regimen before my trip. I knew they were both in such good hands. I think Remy and Sherlock are looking forward to my next trip out of town so they can see Elizabeth again.

Gabby was great with my Lab Kulolo. I was a little nervous leaving him for the first time with someone new. It all worked out wonderful. She was on time and feed him and threw ball with him daily. He enjoyed her company. I am Thankful Gabby worked out for us! I would highly recommend her and will definitely call on her again. High Five Gabby 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you again!

Jessica was INCREDIBLE. Off the bat, her personality and energy was warm and trusting. She’s one of the most communicative pet sitters we’ve ever had, with fast response times (something we highly value!). She sent so many sweet pics of our pets while in her care, and went above and beyond to watch them and our home while we were away. She administered our senior dog’s medications without issue or complaint, and gave our kitties so much love. We will be coming back to her for all future bookings! You won’t regret trusting Jessica with your pets and in your home. Thank you Jessica! 🌺

Megan was wonderful with our pups during her stay. She sent pictures and kept us updated on their usual shenanigans, which was a big comfort with us being away on the mainland. The dogs absolutely adore her and we would definitely book with her again. Thank you Megan!

Rochelle did an amazing job taking care of Koa while I was away. She was very communicative throughout my time away and consistently provided updates and pictures of my fur baby, which really put my mind at ease knowing he was in such great hands. She took great care of Koa and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would highly recommend Rochelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy and very caring dogsitter😊

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Honolulu is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $83 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 1,006 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
