“Michelle is such a caring person! She took great care of our 15 year old Maltese, Mika while we attended our daughter’s wedding. Even though it was for only 15 hours, she still meet us for an initial meeting so we could get to know her. She was punctual and even accommodated a last minute earlier start time. We normally have family or friends watch over our baby, but they were all in attendance for the wedding. First time users for a pet sitter, but would not hesitate to use Michelle again!”
“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!”
“Cora is super sweet and took great care of my baby. She send daily photos and updates. You can tell by the questions she asks and the information she has on her profile that she truly loves and cares for animals and takes this seriously. My pup was super happy when I got home!”
“Ryan was absolutely incredible with Arya and George. From the moment they met, he brought such calm, positive energy that my pups instantly trusted him. Throughout the stay, he sent thoughtful updates, photos, and little notes that showed just how attentive he was. I came home to happy, relaxed dogs and a house that looked even better than I left it. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but Ryan truly does. I can’t recommend him highly enough.”
“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!”
“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!”
“We used Veronica to house sit and to watch our cat and dog. Veronica communicate with us daily about our animals and sent us pictures. She was super friendly and listened to all of our needs in taking care of our animals. I would recommend Veronica and definitely will be using her again to watch our animals.”
About: I have experience with a range of animals from dogs and cats to Chameleons, snakes, & rodents! I also have experience caring for older pets and administering medications and I understand that they often need a little extra patience, comfort, and attention to their individual routines. I also know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. That’s why I make communication a priority. I’ll keep you updated, send photos, and let you know how your pet is doing so you never feel out of the loop. My goal is for you to be able to relax with peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands. I'm self employed which gives me to free time needed to be able to pour my time into your pets as well as mine! I am a student as well but have a flexible class schedule! I try to get an idea of the animals routine so I can keep some normalcy in said routine while you are away! I want to make sure that the pet(s) are comfortable and well taken care of so I'll take the extra time to play, cuddle or just give some human company depending on your pets personality and preferences:)

“This is my first time using Rover, as I recently adopted, and Ria made it a smooth experience. She is detail oriented and tailored to your dog's specific needs. She went above and beyond for Bookworm and she sent multiple updates and photos/videos to keep me at ease.”
“Liz is phenomenal! Great connection with our little Lola who absolutely adores her! Very good at communicating how things are going and sending photos daily❤️. Liz also leaves the house spotless. We couldn’t be happier with Liz!”
About: I have been watching dogs and cats since I was 15 years old! I have experience with many ages, breeds and sizes! I love making sure each pet I work with is treated as if they were my own pet. I have base access as well so if you are military and need assistance, I am here to help with your furry family members! I am currently working part time and on summer break from college! I work mornings so I am home in the afternoon and evenings. I have my own car for transportation. I like to ensure your pet has everything they need to be comfortable. I live in a walkable neighborhood so your dog will get plenty of walks! I like to prioritize keeping your pets routine as close as possible to what it is when with you to ensure your pet is as stress free as possible!
About: I've been around dogs since I was a little kid. My family always had a dog, and many of my fondest childhood memories involve spending time with and taking care of them. When I started college was the first time I had full responsibility of taking care of my dad’s two dogs while he was away on a trip. Caring for two dogs with their distinct needs while juggling the demands of college coursework was a challenge especially as this was for an extended period of time. However, as I began to understand their unique needs and develop a routine that provided the necessary care and support they needed, the process became more manageable. Recognizing the importance of being attentive to their needs and ensuring their well-being was crucial. This experience not taught me how to be on top of their needs and give them the proper care and attention, but spending one-on-one time with them also helped me bond with them even more. At this moment I realized my love for dog sitting. I work a part time job during the day. Though am available for overnight dog sitting. Able to give morning walks, before I leave for my job at 11am. Finish work at 4:30pm and am able to give afternoon and night time walks/feeding. Please let me know if you have more questions. I prefer to care for pets in the clients home. I feel that this make your pet more comfortable, as they will be in both a familiar and safe environment.
“Liz did a great job with my two furbabies. Our little white one is a super senior and doesn’t do well with change, Liz spent time with her and giving her attention to make her comfortable. Our other dog was very content when I arrived home, which was a result of the one on one attention Liz provided. My home was well cared for and clean upon my return. Liz communicates with me every day to let me know how everything was going. I really appreciate Liz’s professionalism and attention. I would highly recommend Liz and she’s welcome any time!!! Thank you Liz!!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.”
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!
“Alina did a fantastic job watching our dog for us! She shared updates and photos each day and left us confident that our anxious pup was being well taken care of. Would recommend booking her & would book her again myself.”
“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!”

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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Honolulu on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,025 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.
