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.
About: As a devoted dog lover and experienced pet sitter, I've cared for a variety of dogs since the age of 10. I've walked, fed, and provided medication for family and friends' pets, and I'm skilled at handling multiple dogs at once. Your fur baby will receive exceptional care and love when they're with me. I work a full-time from 9am-5pm Monday through Friday from home. I take early morning walks, lunch walks, or after-work walks. I’m happy to work with you to get your pet care and exercise week nights to weekends. I am highly organized and always make sure to read detailed care instructions. I can crate your dog, share mid-walk photos, and send care updates.
“Thank you for all your sweet attention to our buddy ColbyJack! It was comforting to know he was in good hands. We loved receiving your updates and photos. Thank you!”
“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!”
“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: Since childhood I've had pets of all shapes and sizes. Let me care for your pet as you would do. They are ohana and deserve the very best! I'm currently working part-time and am home for the majority of time most days. Occasionally I do have to go into the office for 4 hour periods. I will visit or stay with your pet in your home. I will walk them as requested. Provide multiple potty breaks throughout the day. Clean drinking water will always remain accessible, and the feeding schedule will follow your directions. Leave me with clear instructions and I will make sure that they are safe, comfortable and happy while you are away.
“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: 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!

“We love Adonyx! Our pup Rosie especially. It was so nice getting smiling, happy photos of her during their afternoon check-ins, and reassuring to know she was safe and well cared for in our absence. Highly recommend ❤️”
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.
“If you’re looking for a trustworthy and professional person to watch your pups look no further, Jasmine will go above and beyond for them! Extremely thorough and polite, our dogs still wait at the door for her! We will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds. I grew up with multiple dogs and have had two foster puppies of my own. I have a very flexible work schedule and am looking to babysit, walk/run, and take care of any dog who needs a friend! I work part time and have a very flexible schedule at the moment. I am free the most on weekends but the weekdays are very doable as well. I have a townhouse without a backyard but I plan on going on extensive walks and even runs for more active pets. For boarding I will take your pet anywhere I go if they are comfortable with that!
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 worked 3 years emergency veterinary medicine and 2 years as a vet tech so I know what to look out for and can also provide special needs if your pet requires it. I have experience in training dogs also, so I can keep up with whatever your training plan is if your pup is still in training! 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. I can accommodate pet sitting in your home with a variety of scenarios, no matter if your pet is crate-trained or is a bedtime snuggler.
About: I’m a Licensed vet technician and this is important because Incase of any problems I can act quickly and correctly. I do love animals and caring for them, trust me when I say your pet is in good hands. I can do long walks if that’s what you insist, any service need at your home I’m the girl to call!

“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!”
“Karin and her kids were awesome to Koa! She did a great job taking care of him and went far and beyond what was expected. Her kids playing with Koa warmed my heart so much and that was not expected at all and very much appreciated. Koa loves being with kids. I definitely would hire Karin again next time I need her. Thanks Karin!”

I reached out to Rebecca last minute for a drop-in, and she was incredibly kind, responsive, and reliable! She took such great care of our dog Penny and our house! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will absolutely rebook with Rebecca!! Thank you, Rebecca!!!
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.
Sarabeth has been incredible to our pup! She’s walked our pup consistently over the past year multiple times a week and she’s super reliable! My pup loves her and gets so excited to see her for her walk! We’re sad to see her go as we trusted her greatly taking care of our pup when we needed.
Julie went above and beyond during her hangout with our pups. They’re not the easiest dogs and since they’re so big they can be a lot. This did not bother her one bit and I know they loved every second of her visit. Would love to have her stop by again. Thank you!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Kailua stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 .

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.
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.

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 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.
