About: Hi, I'm Haleigh! I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I have been a dog owner for 11 years. Basil and I have lived with both dogs and cats throughout the years. I've consistently taken care of my friend's/ roommate's pets while they went out of town. I feel comfortable taking care of pets of all breeds and sizes! I'm also able to care for multiple dogs in a household, making sure that each pet feels loved. I'm here to provide all of the care, love, and walks that your pets need while you're away. *schedule* I'm currently working part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! I also have reliable transportation so get to your home. I'm currently living in Kailua. *Safety* Safety is top priority for me! I have extensive experience handling leash reactive dogs. I use treat based rewards to help reactive dogs feel safe by creating positive association with their environment on walks. I'm constantly scanning for potential triggers so that I can maintain a comfortable distance on our walks. I will always double check that harnesses/ collars are secure and that gates & doors are closed/ locked. *Typical day* A day with me balances physical activity, mental stimulation, and a ton of belly rubs! I love to allow dogs to go on "sniff walks" to reduce their stress and leave them feeling enriched! I like to change up their route of walks to provide variety to their walks. *Important info* I would like to know everything to ensure your dog is feeling safe and happy! * Socialization and leash styles * Health and medical history * Special care required * High value treats * House rules *schedule* I'm currently working part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule!

“Marie is AMAZING!! She is so loving and thorough with taking care of my furrbabies, I always have peace of mind when I am away because I know they will be loved and well taken care of 😸”

“Victoria was great! She was proactive in arranging a pre-vacation meeting to see our household routines and had wonderful communication as to how the cats were doing during her visits. I would definitely recommend her everyone and will have her take care of my fur boys in the future.”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with a Maltese who was my best friend, and since then I've been the go to dog sitter for friends and family. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including Huskies, Border Collies, Poodles, Shiba Inus, and many more. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and tend to treat them like my own kids. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or keeping them company while you're away, I'll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I work from home so I'm pretty flexible. The earlier we communicate the more flexibility I have. Typically more available in the afternoons and evenings I know leaving your dog with someone else can feel a little nerve wracking, so I'll do my best to make it easy for both you and your pup! Whether I'm stopping by for a visit, taking them on a walk, or staying overnight, I'll follow their usual routine and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and getting lots of love while you're away.
“Michaela continues to be our go-to petsitter for our two kitties while we are out of town! She is communicative, goes above and beyond to love on our kitties and sends great photo updates. We really appreciate knowing our babies are in good hands when we leave town. Thank you for all your help, Michaela!”

About: I have always had a dog present since I was born. With that I have always wanted to build a strong connection with them. This includes belly rubs, giving treats, going for walks/venturing, or playing with doggy toys. I am currently working a part-time job and typically available at the beginning of the week. I do sometimes pick up shifts but I am pretty flexible with my time. During my days off I will have a plethora of time for your pets to keep company for a walk or being social. I often times like to match a pets energy. If they need some play time, I will be more than happy to give them needed attention. If they would like to have a more chill day, we can go for a nice calm walk or just relax outside on the grass.
“Shienne really helped us in a bind for care for our two kitties. She was super responsive, and even handled an issue with our cat’s feeder without ever having seen it before. Our cats seemed to warm up to her quickly, too, even without having met her prior to care!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up caring for Labs, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, Border Collies, Huskies, and a Mini Goldendoodle — so I understand everything from high-energy working breeds to small companion dogs. When I was 14 years old, I became the primary caregiver for my Chihuahua, who was under a year old when we brought her home. I cared for her throughout her entire life, including providing attentive, compassionate senior care as her needs changed in her later years. That experience taught me responsibility, patience, and how to adjust care as dogs age. I’ve also cared for an energetic Husky, so I’m very comfortable with active dogs who need structured exercise and mental stimulation. I raised my Mini Goldendoodle from 6 weeks old and handled all of her training, so I’m confident working with puppies and reinforcing good habits. I truly believe dogs deserve an enriching life beyond the home. I love beach walks and hikes, and I tailor each outing to match a dog’s energy level and personality. While dogs may be part of our world, to them we are their whole world — and I care for every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work remotely from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention for dogs in my care. During working hours, I’m available for shorter walks (up to 30 minutes), drop-ins, and in-home care. My meeting schedule varies day to day, so timing during work hours will need flexibility, but I always communicate clearly to coordinate a time that works best. After 3:00 PM, I have full availability for longer walks, outings, and dedicated time with your dog. In My Home: Dogs staying with me have access to my office/guest room, the main living areas, and a fully fenced backyard at all times. Because I work remotely from 7:00 AM–3:00 PM, I’m home throughout the day to provide supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention. Dogs are never isolated and can stay near me while I work, helping them feel comfortable and secure. They’ll also have the opportunity to play with my docile and friendly Mini Goldendoodle, Nova, who loves having company. Of course, I always prioritize safe, positive introductions and will separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I provide regular walks, playtime, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level — whether that’s relaxed outdoor time or more active exercise. I follow feeding schedules, routines, and any specific care instructions closely to make the transition from your home to mine as smooth as possible. Drop-In Visits (Client’s Home): For drop-ins, I focus on keeping your dog’s routine consistent in their familiar environment. Visits can include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of attention. I always respect your home and leave it exactly as I found it, and I provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Kara was wonderful! She truly went above and beyond when we needed coverage at the last minute. I am so grateful we found her and feel lucky to have her in the neighborhood. Thank you so much!”

“Mary-Ann was great. Attentive to each cats personality. Knew when to play and knew when they just needed love (lots of pets). She helped put our mind at ease while traveling.”

About: Reliable Local Pet Care With Veterinary Experience Hi! My name is Haven! I have professional experience working in emergency veterinary medicine, giving me hands on experience with animals who may need extra attention, medication administration, or a calm and confident handler. I’m also a lifelong horse owner and experienced equine caregiver, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life. I offer dog walking and drop in visits and am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, provide medication when needed, refresh food and water, give plenty of attention, and make sure they’re comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I currently work a Wednesday through Friday schedule, so I structure my Rover availability around mornings, evenings on my days off, and weekends. This will allow quality care, without over booking! I offer check-ins and dog walks with a focus on safety, communication, and dependable care. For check-ins, I follow each client’s instructions and provide water, meals or treats, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, and medication when needed. I also check that doors, gates, crates, and other safety areas are secure before leaving. I respect each client’s home and clean up after visits. For walks, I use the client’s preferred equipment and follow their instructions. I watch for traffic, other animals, weather, and other safety concerns. Pets remain on leash unless the owner has specifically approved otherwise in a secure location. My emergency veterinary experience helps me notice changes in behavior, appetite, energy, mobility, or overall condition. I communicate concerns promptly and follow the client’s emergency instructions. My goal is to provide safe, compassionate care and peace of mind.
About: I work from home, so your pet gets constant attention and care. Clean, calm home with a fenced yard for safe play. Daily walks that dogs love to join. I also love to run if your pup does! Experience in veterinary settings; comfortable administering medication. I only host 1–2 dogs at a time for personalized care. Single dog stays available upon request. Active or low energy, I match your pet’s needs. I work from home, so your pet will have consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I can easily step away for walks, potty breaks, or playtime whenever needed. I’m also close enough to walk to and from my kids school, so a twice a day walk is guaranteed. I’m happy to match your pet’s energy — whether that’s a relaxed day lounging in the sun, short walks, or going for a jog. On weekends, I enjoy hiking and being outdoors, but I also love quiet days at home with movies and downtime. Whatever your pet prefers, I can accommodate. In your home, I will stick closely to your pet’s routine and any house rules you have in place. I hold a Top Secret clearance, so you can trust that your home and belongings are in safe, responsible hands. In my home, I have a calm, structured environment. I have a spayed, very submissive hairless Xoloitzcuintli who does well with other pets. My kids are with me part time and are very respectful of animals and mindful about doors and boundaries. I have a cat who was raised in a foster environment and is very comfortable around other animals. My home is a safe, low stress space where pets can relax and feel at ease.

About: Hi, I'm a remote worker who loves to travel and meet new people and pets. Recently, I have been spending more time in Hawaii, so I'm starting my Rover back up while I'm on island. I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets. I've taken a training in dog body language from the humane society and am very detail oriented when it comes to following instructions for your pet's needs. I work remotely, which means more time at home caring for your dogs or cats. Feel free to reach out with any questions :) I'm happy to video call or meet in person with any potential clients to see if we'd be a good fit. I work from home on a flexible schedule, which means more time to give attention, pets, and walks to your furry loved ones. I'm happy to stick to your pet's preferred routine. Your pet will be my priority while I'm at your place. I'm also happy to tackle other responsibilities during a pet sit - picking up mail, taking out trash, etc., so that everything gets taken care of while you're away. Cleanliness will be a priority, and I always pick up after myself to leave a space exactly as I found it.

About: Going on vacation should not be stressful for you or your pet. Your pet will enjoy their own mini-vacay with me! I enjoy creating interactive games or adventures outdoors.

I make healthy homemade training treats so I will share those and make them feel spoiled. If your dog is up for it, I would love to take them to hang out with friends' dogs, hiking, running, or some beach fun. It is best to keep a dog on a similar schedule that they are used to so please let me know what your dog's routine usually is. Please let me know if your dog is or isn't friendly with other dogs. I also have experience with cats and have had rabbits for 12 years so I can help no matter what your fluffy family is! Ask me about multiple pet discounts! *Limited experience with whelping and rearing puppies under 8 weeks. Let me know what your pet's usual routine is, or favorite toys, or what things they enjoy doing most so we can do them together.

My dogs absolutely adore Nancy, and so do I! This my second time having Nancy help with my dogs. She has stayed over to house-sit and watch my dogs for three days. She also helped me with drop in visits for my dogs when I needed. I have a Golden Doodle and a Chihuahua. My dogs are my children and I had so much anxiety over leaving them for the first time. It is so hard to find someone who you trust and who will give the love and attention to your animals like you would yourself. I actually had to go away for a surgery and that made things even more nerve racking for me. Nancy put me at ease right away. She actually started with a brief meet and greet so my girls could get to meet her before the stay. She updated me morning and night with photos and updates on how they were doing with me being away. My Chihuahua is very shy and she has a really hard time getting comfortable with strangers, but within an hour she was on Nancy's lap. She even went on walks with her! My Chihuahua will not walk with anyone without me! I came back to my home looking fantastic, my dogs had fresh clean water, they looked so well taken care of and happy. Nancy went above and beyond for me and my fur-babies and I will be referring her to every pet parent I know! I am so happy and grateful for her. I look forward to having her help me in the future and I know my pups are too! 5 stars!
If I could give Alyssa more than 5 stars I would. I contacted her last minute to watch my dog for six days while I was gone on a work trip. The evening I was leaving I got home from work and noticed my dog showing symptoms of an ear infection but didn’t have time to get her into the vet before my flight. The next day when the symptoms remained, Alyssa took her to the vet for me and treated her ear the rest of the trip. My dog then got diarrhea the last day I was gone, and I was out of phone service, so Alyssa handled it. During her regular visits she seemed to take good care of my dog and dedicate the time towards her care and needs. I highly recommend her if you need someone to drop in to take care of your dog.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Kailua 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
