About: Hi, I’m Maddy! I’ve been living in Hawaii for about a year now and currently work in a veterinary clinic!! I have several years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. My background includes working as a kennel technician and receptionist at a busy doggy daycare, boarding, training, and grooming facility. This has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and individualized care of dogs and cats! At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home, but I’m more than happy to provide care in your home depending on location. I strive to keep your pets’ routine as normal and stress free as possible while you’re away, and I’ll always go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Before and after work, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. If close by, I am able to use my lunch break to come by for mid-day care and potty breaks. On my days off, I have much more flexibility and can accommodate longer visits or extended care. I always prioritize making time for each pet to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I am unfortunately not offering boarding services in my own home, as I have another dog. Depending on distance, I am more than happy to stay in your home! Keeping your fur babies safe and happy is my number one priority, I am willing to go above and beyond to care for your baby.

About: Having the opportunity of sitting pets in their own place makes a difference in their adaptation while someone new takes care of them. sometimes is easier for puppies or older pets to adjust when they are somewhere they already know. I enjoy sleeping, playing, cuddling or just share space with them. Also i find interesting the way you can stimulate them with games or new activities I am a student at Chaminade university and take my classes in the mornings. Staying with them is better for me so my free time i can dedicate it to them. I been a dogsitter and nanny for about 5 years now and I love what I do!! I’m a very responsible person, with experience in house sitting, so take care of your pet in your home is not only about their care but the responsibility and the opportunity of a new place. I can send daily updates and always have emergency contacts to communicate if there was any irregularities. I will go over your specific needs and theirs as well

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, and I’ve cared for pets ranging from energetic puppies to seniors who need a slower pace. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy bonding with every animal I meet. Pet parents trust me to treat their fur babies like family. I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and routine throughout the day. I live in an apartment, but there’s a great dog park within walking distance where your pup can get plenty of playtime and fresh air. Inside, I provide a calm, safe space and can crate your dog if preferred. I always supervise carefully and keep your pet’s comfort a top priority.

About: I have taken care of lots of pets since I was around 11. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their babies while on trips, or if they needed a day out! I have cared for dogs of different sizes and many breeds as well as cats and I’d be willing to learn to take care of others! I am currently a part time worker and work night times from 6:30pm, so I would have lots of time in the day to care for your animals! I can also do days I may not have on for availability as long as we communicated it. I can do any service until 5pm! Just message me about your needs and we can work through it! I am willing to learn how to cater to your pets needs and keeping the environment happy and the least stressful for your pets so they can be most comfortable while you are away!

About: As a dedicated dog owner and animal lover, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment where pets receive the care, affection, and attention they deserve. I am responsible, dependable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, companionship, or simply relaxing, I strive to make every experience comfortable and enjoyable. I understand the importance of following feeding schedules, maintaining routines, providing regular updates, and treating every pet like a member of my own family. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away. I currently work independently with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority throughout my day. I have the freedom to adjust my availability to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship. Since I manage my own work hours, I can offer weekday and weekend availability, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that fits your pet’s routine and gives you peace of mind while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I understand that pets are family and deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet with the same patience, affection, and attention I give my own dog, Leonidas. Whether caring for pets in my home or visiting yours, I prioritize a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and daily routines. I also believe communication is essential, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel connected and reassured. My priority is building trust, respecting each pet’s individual needs, and ensuring they receive quality care and companionship while their family is away.

About: Hello, my name's Rachel and I'm a 3rd year student at Drexel University. I have had pets since I was 10 years old. I just finished working at Penn Vet Working Dog Center in assisting to train working dogs that are trained for different disciplines such as; search and rescue, explosives, narcotics and medical detection. I'm experienced with very high energy and strong dogs. I believe I can handle and provide the best care for your dog. I believe both my profession and personal experience with dogs and cats has helped me gain the skills necessary to work with almost any dog. I have some experience caring for a blind and diabetic dog and feel it would not be an issue to aid those dogs with special needs.

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.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Kailua

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Kailua is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $32 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 1,395 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Kailua. 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.

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.

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 .

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.

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 .

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.

To find sitters in Kailua with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kailua. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
