“I would highly recommend Ky for all of your pet sitting needs! She took care of our high maintenance pups while we were out of town for over a week. Both of our pups come with their own unique behavioral issues and Ky handled them like a pro. She sent us daily updates and left our place nice and clean. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have a dog of my own that I care for and pet sit for friends regularly! The pets I have cared for have become my pet friends and I go visit them even when I’m not sitting. Giving medication for pets is part of the daily routine with my pets so that will not be a problem if your fur baby needs to take medication. Daily walks and a lot of TLC is what I can provide for your pet along with any other needs that they may have. You can trust me to take care of your pet as well as I take care of my own because I understand how precious they are in our lives and it isn’t easy when you aren’t around them!! I am available most days all day to provide full care for your pet. Whatever their needs are I am able to be there for them and am sure to update my availability calendar to keep it up to date. I have a fenced in back yard with a friendly mini-schnauzer that pets can play in but they are also allowed in the house with easy access through a doggy door. I am home all day so if they can’t use the doggy door I can let them in and out of the house. If I’m your home I will do whatever they are used to.
About: I have over a decade of dog, cat, baby, and housesitting experience. I grew up with a boxer and multiple cats so I can effortlessly balance high-energy large dogs with the unique routines of felines! I love all fur babies! I am currently in online school, so I am almost completely available. New to the area and working on getting an ER tech job in the new year (2027 - will be working three 12 hour shifts a week). Have over a year experience as an EMT. Maintaining home security and cleanliness, making sure everything is locked up and tidied, also usually bring in mail, water plants, and take out trash. Following feeding, hydration and routine. Taking dogs for scheduled walks, keeping them on leash, avoided unwanted interactions with other dogs, cleaning up after them. Scooping litter boxes at least once a day. Medication administration per request. Daily updates with pictures!
“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.”
About: Ever since childhood i've watched dogs. I currently live with a 2 year old dachshund, and a year old cat i've been responsible for since 2 weeks old. I am a current college student with all online classes. I would like to explore my options and see what days in my schedule fit me best. Depending on what the owner wants I will always follow instructions. At home I restrict my pets from climbing large object or allowing them into certain work or rooms they don't need to be in. I also make sure everything is put up high and sealed so no one gets into anything. I also check to make sure water is filled, they have been fed, bathroom is taken care of, and doors are locked when leaving.
“We have two grown dogs and a puppy, so Annabelle definitely had her hands full, but she did great. She stayed at our house. The dogs totally fell in love with her. Can’t wait to use her again.”
About: I've had dogs since I was born. We had two family dogs, a long-haired german shepherd named Timber who passed in 2005, and a yellow lab named Lily (short for Water Lily) who passed in 2022. I got my first cat at age 18, in 2018, right after graduating highschool. His name is Vincent James and he is my favorite boy in the whole world. While he is my first cat, I have cat-sat throughout my life because I wasn't able to have a cat as a child (my dad was allergic). I have also dog-sat lots of dogs! Including my lovable nephew dog (my sister's dog) Winston, a very handsome golden retriever who now lives in Oregon :( so he is very far away and I have a dog shaped hole in my heart that I would love to fill with pet sitting! I work 7am-3pm Monday through Friday in Honolulu, and unfortunately cannot leave work to care for a pet (I wish I could!!). My entire weekends are free however! And my afternoons from 3pm onward on weekdays are free. I care for every pet like they are my own, meaning that I provide them with the upmost care, love, understanding, and respect. I get to know every pet and learn what makes them happy, or what they don't like (for example if they hate head pets, etc.). I have a very good attention to detail and care about getting medication doses, walk times, walk distances, play times, mealtimes, meal amounts/contents as close to the way their parents would do it. Really the goal is to minimize stress and maximize happiness and relaxation so that they don't miss their parents tooooo much (just enough to be super happy when you get home :) )
“Nicole is lovely to work with. She was so incredible with my dog and was extremely attentive! She took great care of the house and send lots of pictures of my sweet girl, I think my dog likes her more than me haha!”
“Kenzie was amazing! She gave us daily updates and pictures of our girl, Cleo, and was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire booking processes. Kenzie offered to meet with us twice prior to our trip to ease our nerves and build a bond with Cleo. Kenzie was very respectful of our home while house sitting and we are so thankful for her. We will definitely book again with Kenzie again in the future!”
About: I regard pets as children. Those who know me trust me to care for their pets with love, patience, energy and compassion. I am flexible. I work from home on a part time basis - this affords me to be available according to your needs. (Early mornings, all day and early evenings for feeding, playing and walking). My focus and care is to provide your pet with the daily routine they know. I am dedicated to keep your pet feeling safe, happy and loved at all times.
About: I grew up on a farm and have had dogs of every shape and size my entire life. I have experience with dogs with diabetes and am comfortable giving them their shots. I am willing to drive to any part of the island but I am located in Ewa Beach so please allow grace for traffic if you are townside. Size does not scare me as I was watching over 12 horses daily in Kapolei, my elderly dog requires 4 medications a day so medications are a breeze as I’ve had to learn every trick in the book. *I have an elderly dog and young cat in my home so all animals must pass a flea inspection and have recent vaccines.* I am currently unemployed due to medical conditions not letting me be able to be in large crowds. I can adapt my schedule to you and your animals needs because of this and can be available anytime outside of my appointments and treatment days. I have a larger fenced yard in Ewa Beach, I provide filtered water for all animals and treat any animal in my home as if it were my own. In my house animals are allowed on furniture and beds. I will always leave a space cleaner than found, if I am house sitting/pet sitting I will lightly clean the area. If your animal becomes muddy, or dirty under my care I will wash them. If you don’t want them on furniture I will make sure they do not go on any.
“We found Evan last minute after our original Rover sitter cancelled. He was a perfect match for our Husky and Golden! The pups were happy when we returned home and the house was just like we left it! We will definitely use Evan again in the future!”
“Richard was great with Moosey! Fast communicator. Sent pics and videos. Super respectful and left my place clean. Moosey loved him. Definitely would recommend and would book again for my future trips.”
About: Hi! My name is Heather and I love animals! I am a caring, safe, responsible, person that has experience with dogs, cats, chickens etc. I started off watching friends and families animals while they went away on vacation and then I started getting recommended to help others. I love being able to let people travel with peace of mind that their babies are well taken care of. I have also traveled around interisland pet and house sitting. I understand that you need to have a combination of attentiveness and nurturing manner when working with any pet. I am detailed oriented and follow owners specific instructions. I am looking forward to meeting a new fuzzy friend! I also work remotely as a designer so I have a flexible schedule and can be around your pets needs. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. Safety is priority in caring for your pets. If they need medicine, need to keep on a schedule, whatever it may be I like to keep as close as possible to the schedule what you normally do at home so your pet feels comfortable.
“Joseph is very professional, great communicator, and he is so knowledgeable about dogs and their behaviors. Our dogs were treated like family and you could tell they were treated so well by how relaxed they were when we got home. Highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kaaawa
We had an amazing experience with Ky and highly recommend her! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease. During our meet and greet, she asked thoughtful questions about Apollo and Harper's routines, personalities, preferences, and care. It was clear she genuinely wanted to get to know them and make sure she could provide the best possible care, which gave us so much confidence before we left. While we were away, she took wonderful care of Apollo and Harper, treating them with so much love, attention, and patience. We knew they were in great hands, and it gave us real peace of mind to be able to enjoy our trip without worrying. She also took excellent care of our home. We came back to a spotless house, and everything was exactly as we had left it. It's obvious she is responsible, trustworthy, and takes pride in caring for both pets and homes. We're so grateful for everything she did for Apollo and Harper and wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. If you're looking for someone who is caring, dependable, and truly goes above and beyond, we wholeheartedly recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kaaawa is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $94 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 November 2026, there are 986 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kaaawa. 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 Kaaawa 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 Kaaawa 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 Kaaawa 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

- 97% 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.
