“Taylor was amazing with Mynx. Very caring and patient, she got our shy cat to come around after the first visit. Kept us informed through out the visits with detailed summaries and photos. She went above and beyond to care for not only our cat but us and our home as well. Recommend for anyone seeking a sitter.”
“Katie was fantastic as a pet sitter helping me with drop-in visits during a two-week trip. She was professional and responsive, and she was quick to respond when we needed to add a few extra visits . We loved receiving daily photos of our dogs enjoying the yard and searching for treats, just as we had requested. We highly recommend Katie and look forward to booking with her again in the future!”
About: I've had dogs around me since I was born. I love animals and am great at caring for them. By nature I'm a patient and gentle person, although I can also take control when necessary. Feeding, bathing, and protecting are all in my wheelhouse. I'm currently writing a book and I have lots of down time to get to know your pet and care for him/her. It would be easy for me to take your pet out for walks, play with them, and supervise them between writing sessions. Here on the island I only offer sits that are inside your home. I'll be very respectful of your space, and leave it clean when I go.
“Bryanna was amazing with our large black lab. We really appreciated her help with drop in visits and I highly recommend reaching out to her if she is available.”
“Kalyn took amazing care of my two kitties! We had to fly to the mainland for an emergency trip, and she was super flexible and helped us out so much. One of my cats has anxiety and really struggles with new people, but my cat loved her and ran right up to her! I never had any anxiety about my fur babies while they were in Kalyn’s care!”
“Dune has been loving Alyson's drop in visits to let him out during the day when we are working. She has great communication and sends lots of photos. She has good attention to detail and does more than asked, like checking his water bowl. Definitely recommend!”
“Jessica was excellent and took great care of my dog. Reliable and very communicative - she kept me posted on all of her at home visits. Highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of and had dogs my whole life! I had four dogs growing up as a kid that I watched while my parents went away, and now I have a fur baby of my own! I am a school psychologist by day :) Looking for something to on weekends on this beautiful island! Happy to take your dog out for weekend walks As the mom of an anxious pup, I am familiar with how to care for, leave, and greet your pup! I am familiar with crating dogs before leaving, sneaking out, or just saying goodbye!
About: Proud dad of two adult dogs! Studying for the Hawaii Bar Exam and looking for study breaks to walk some beautiful pups! I’d love to take your doggie out for a walk! Studying full time for now, at home. Partner works full time. Primary caretaker for our two dogs - food, meds, walks. I am home all day, with transportation. For boarding, I will be in the house almost constantly. For my own dogs, I manage their medication and feeding. We walk several times a day and get out to the dog park or the beach every day.
“It's hard to put into words how kind and attentive Rebecca is. My old man is 16 but still loves his walks. Rebecca was so attentive and you could tell he was happy and felt safe when she would check in on him. I will continue to book with her until I leave Hawaii. She is also attentive the your home and things happening around and in the home. She let me know my electricity was out and gave me an update to ensure I knew Cooper was and would be ok until I got home. If I coudl give her 10 stars I would. Mahalo Rebecca, Cooper and I appreciate your experience and kindness more than you know.”
“Alice took such good care of our babies. Was always communicative and asked a lot of clarifying questions. The pics we got every day was a huge comfort along with her detailed notes on how the day went for each of our 3 wildly differently aged and personality cats (3F, 6M, and 11F). Even when she had to navigate a moody personality (11F), she worked out solutions in ways that you can tell she has a kind and gentle heart who cares deeply for animals. She also stayed in communications even when we had trouble getting signal while away. She even went above and beyond on some of our instructions, to include taking out the trash at the end of her visit (thank you! you didn’t have to do that). Her personal touch of leaving us behind treats, polaroid pics, and a cute letter was very nice and brought even more warmth and comfort to us when we got home. Thank you Alice for taking care of our babies. We never had to worry about their well-being and we found them happy and content when we got home from our 2-week vacation. We would def hire her again.”
“Lillian was amazing and took great care of our cats while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond in her care and did things like take our packages in for us as well. Will definitely use again in the future if available!”
About: I (Lauren) am a stay at home mom. I love animals and have experience with many different breeds of dogs. In my experience I've worked to foster dogs, secure donations to foster, and helped find them new furever homes. I will be attentive to you pups needs and will give lots of belly rubs! I (Dale) have worked as a dog handler by trade, i love all dogs, and so do my kids. I would love to share my home with your fur babies! I (Lauren) have a few appointments for the kids here and there, school drop off and pickup and kid related activities. I am flexible and have great availability! I (Dale) work in the morning most days and and home between 8-10am so I have a ton of time to dedicate to our animal care Im available to pick up and drop off between 8am and 630pm. Rates will vary with distance and time of day. We live in a 4 bedroom, air conditioned home, with a gated fenced back yard and a spacious front yard for pets to play! We have a doggy door so there's easy access for the dogs to go out back and potty or play. If your dog is unfamiliar with doggy doors of course we will let them out and try and teach them how it works. Fetch and play are never ending with the pups that visit us! If we were to come to your home to care for your pet, we would respect the environment and take care that your pet feels safe. We take multiple dogs at a time! We do meet and greets to make sure they are a good fit around our family and will do well with other dogs.
About: I've been taking care of pets for family and friends since I was a teenager. I love to be around animals of all kinds and they are so sweet. If given the opportunity, I would love to care for your dogs or cats. They will be in good hands with me! Animals are the best! I will make sure your animal is taken care of and all gates, doors are locked. Safety is my top priority when caring for animals.
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.
“I had a very busy week and was delighted to find Karen to come relieve my pup and play with him once or twice a day. I could focus on my work and know Jasper was in good hands!”
About: My husband and I have always cared for and owned dogs, but we currently don’t have one and are missing our fur friends! I recently moved from England to Hawaii to join my husband here for work, and before welcoming a dog of our own, we’d love to spend time caring for yours! I will be the primary caregiver, as I work fully from home. Back in England, I looked after my mom’s dog almost every day for the past six years whenever I wasn’t working at the hospital, as I worked from home a lot too. I also regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs for overnight stays, weekends and holidays. In fact, I became the go-to dog sitter in our little English village! As a healthcare professional, I understand the importance of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and I bring that same level of patience, compassion, and commitment to every dog I care for. We know that every dog has their own unique personality and routine, and we’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and so very loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, we’ll care for them as if they were our own! I (Carmen) will be the primary caregiver, with Cam (husband) home in the evenings for cuddles and post-dinner beach walks with us. I currently work from home, part-time as a UK-registered Dietitian. I’d love a fur colleague to keep me company! I walk, run or swim at the beach every morning or lunchtime and evenings too, and Kalama Beach is only a 10 minute walk from our house. My husband who is as pup-obsessed as me works with the military (he’s a ex-marine officer) so he’s not around as much but he would absolutely love doggy kisses to welcome him home after work. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a large shared yard that is fully enclosed, with two access points that we securely block off whenever a dog is outside, so they can enjoy the space safely under our supervision. We share the yard with three lovely neighboring couples who are also dog lovers, creating a friendly and welcoming environment. Our home is a spacious two-story, three-bedroom house with plenty of room for your pup to relax. After beach adventures or muddy walks, we even have two bathtub showers ready for rinsing off sandy paws and giving your dog a little spa treatment! We’ll follow your dog’s usual routine, provide lots of love and attention, and ensure they’re always supervised and cared for as if they were our own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kailua
Omg, I can’t say enough good things about Victoria and the amazing job she did! This is our first time using Rover so it made us a little bit nervous but it turns out great! We really appreciate her taking such good care of our boys while we were away. She spent time with them every day and left us the little notes with photos, which was so sweet and made us feel like they were in good hands. She’s trustworthy, responsive, and super reliable. Most importantly, the boys LOVE her! Even my super shy boy, who usually hides from strangers, wanted to hang out with her every day! Highly recommend Victoria! We’ll definitely rebooking her again for sure! 💕
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kailua. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
