“Cora was absolutely fantastic with my cat! She made her food a special way that stopped her from throwing up, which was a common problem with my cat. She sent detailed updates on my cat was doing and daily pictures. She even cleaned up my place on her final visit.”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since 2024. My neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets whenever they go on vacation. I'm currently applying to work at different jobs. I'm avaliable on weekdays, and I'm also avaliable on the weekends, but it varies depending on what I have going for me that week. In my home I feed, and walk our dog. I play with him. and make sure he gets the proper attention he needs. I also make sure he is secure at night. When walking him, if he wants to meet other dog friends on the way, we do that, but I make sure both dogs are calm and happy before engaging.

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: I have a deep love and appreciation for animals, especially both dogs and cats. I currently care for two cats I rescued since they were kittens! I have been a loving caregiver for my guinea pig pet for 6 years prior with much love and dedication as well as taking care of friends’ dogs. As for my skills, animals tend to feel calm and relaxed around me & I have experience with grooming, walking, and feeding animals. I am responsible, diligent, punctual, caring, and patient. I love spending time outdoors in nature with animals. I enjoy the company of dogs and cats as well as playing with them. I am available in the daytime with a flexible schedule between 6am and 11am. Depending on your dogs physical activity range or exercising needs, I can customize the walk to be more active or more relaxed for them. I can walk your dog to Central Park depending on the distance or their favorite nearby park. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I have a flexible availability to care for your pet as needed, including house-sitting. With 1 week advance notice, I can accommodate to meet the care days you're looking for. I easily adapt to what your pet needs and actively focus on ensuring they have the best experience by starting with the basics of care such as having food, water, and toys available. I monitor their energy levels to see how they're doing and when they are ready for a walk or playtime, with a fresh water refill right after!

About: I have owned dogs my entire life, and I have extensive experience in dog-walking and sitting, cat care, and home care, ever since I was a teenager. I love animals and am even a wildlife photographer. I have personal experience service training dogs for psychiatric service, as well. I am able to ensure not only premium, safe, and reliable love and care for your animals, but also your plants and the general welfare of your home while you’re away. If your animal has special needs or training curriculums, I am able to meet them, so your time away doesn’t become time off from necessary routines or specialized care. Additional services and excursions (hikes, dog parks, beach days, etc.) are available upon request. Mahalo for thinking of me for the care of your pet! I work part time in the evenings and am a member of a canoe paddling team that practices three to four times per week, so my schedule is flexible with plenty of time for your pets! Being a dog-owner myself, maintaining routines and going the extra mile for play and exercise is important to me. I am currently self-training my rescue for psychiatric service, so I am very comfortable working with dogs from a variety of backgrounds with different levels of confidence and social comfort. I have also cared for cats and am comfortable with their often varying levels of social needs, as well as their basic care. I will never use negative reinforcement with your animal, ensuring a gentle, fun, and trustworthy experience for your pet. Additional services and home care (plant care, delivery reception, maintenance/vendor monitoring, etc.) are available, as well.

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: My pups are my heart and my life! 💖 They are the center of my world, and like many of us pet parents, I take care of my sweet babies better than I care for myself. My husband and I have had our little Marshmallow for 12 wonderful years and counting! For six amazing years, we also had our sweet CocoBear, whom we adopted as a senior with multiple health issues requiring special care. She has since crossed the rainbow bridge, but she is still loved, missed, and cherished by us every single day. Now that it’s just Marshmallow, she’d love some company! She’s super friendly and gets along very well with other doggies! 😊 Although I may be new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to caring for pets! I've been dog-sitting for over 12 years, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. In addition to dogs, I’ve had hamsters, rabbits, and birds throughout my life, and I’m also a very proud cat auntie! 🥰 I have very high standards when it comes to caring for my own babies, and I treat any pup in my care as if they were my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your baby with someone else, so making both you and your pup feel comfortable and at ease is incredibly important to me. I’ll make sure your baby feels safe, happy, loved, spoiled, and right at home! I also love sending pet parents lots of photos and videos because I know just how much you’ll be missing them. 💖 As a stay-at-home dog mom, I’m able to give your pup constant attention, companionship, cuddles, and care. I have tons of love to give, and I’d love to shower your baby with all the love and affection in my heart! An added bonus: my husband also has a very flexible schedule and is home much of the time, so that’s double the TLC! Your baby will be petted and pampered and treated like the precious gem that they are! 🥹 I take so much pride in providing the best care, and I can’t wait to treat your baby (or babies) to a fun vacation and a warm, loving home away from home while you’re away! 🥰 I am a stay at home dog mama, so your baby will have all my time and attention! Additionally, my husband has a flexible schedule, so that’s double the love your baby (or babies) will receive! 💕🐶 My husband, pup, and I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex. We have a lanai where we have fresh sod that dogs can use for going potty any time they need in addition to their daily walks! Dogs are allowed on our furniture and our bed - everywhere! I am very flexible and can adapt to whatever your dog’s needs are.

About: I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with four cats of my own, and I grew up in a home filled with both dogs and cats. I’m very active and enjoy taking long walks, playing at parks, and spending quality time with pets. I understand how important it is for cats and dogs to get the attention and care they need, and I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am currently between jobs, and the government furlough has delayed the start of my new job. Because of this, I am searching for alternative income. I have a very open and accommodating schedule and am able to work when you need me to. I am a very attentive pet owner. I make sure that my pets are loved and cared for. They always have a clean-living environment with food, water, and the amenities they need. I am sensitive to animals and their needs and will make sure that your pet gets the attention and care they need.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Honolulu

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Honolulu is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $36 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 1,439 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

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.
