“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.”
“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'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.
“Julie was truly a great pet sitter, she loves animals and it showed in her desire to make sure our cat Misty knew who she was and that she was there to care for her. We hope to hire Julie again for our next trip.”
“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: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and my family currently has a pup of our own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities, and I enjoy everything from walks and playtime to simply keeping them company. I’m active, patient, dependable, and attentive to each dog’s individual routine. Whether your pup needs plenty of exercise, some extra attention, or just a safe and comfortable place to relax, I’ll treat them like I would my own. My schedule is currently flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, runs, and drop-in visits for other pet care needs. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine whenever possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and make sure your pet receives the same level of care and attention I would expect for my own dog. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, routine, feeding instructions, exercise needs, and any boundaries you provide. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so you know your pet is safe and having a great time.
About: Proud stay-at-home dog dad. Experience with large and small and in between. Always happy to have new dog friends come and stay. Fun is important to us, but safety comes first. Always looking for study breaks to walk some beautiful pups! 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.
“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: 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: Hello! My name is Jasmine, I am a pet owner and have always been animal lover. Growing up on a small farm, I learned at a young age what proper animal care meant and the significance it holds. I have experience caring for a variety of animals ranging from: cats, dogs, birds, fish, chickens, ducks, frogs and rodents. I have over 6 years of experience in caring for people’s animals as well as my own. I am comfortable of my grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and bomding with your pets. I have been a volunteer at the SPCA and have participated in their pet care summer programs. I am an energetic undergraduate student with a flexible schedule and look forward to meeting your pets! Please feel free to contact me to discuss my services. I’m currently working part time which allows me plenty of time to play and care for your animal. Your pets needs are my priority and I am more than confident in my ability to fulfill those needs! I have a fenced in yard with lots of space to offer! I have a small dog who is very loving and playful that can be a companion to your dog!
“Victoria was wonderful, I highly recommend her! She took great care of our cat while we were gone. Her photos are the best ones we have of the cat- she is a talented photographer! I appreciated her daily report and pics. It meant a lot to know our kitty was in good hands while we were out of town.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 14 years of experience in dog walking & house sitting. My family has a 12-year-old Golden Retriever, and I’ve been involved in her training over the years. I’ve also helped a friend train their puppy under the guidance of a military police dog trainer. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and needs, from puppies to senior dogs requiring specialized attention and dogs needing extra care while recovering from illness. I prioritize every dog’s health, happiness, and safety, whether that means going on adventures, getting exercise, or providing a comfortable space to relax. My goal is to make every dog feel loved and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind! I recently moved to Hawaii with my boyfriend in the military and currently volunteer part-time at a local hospital a few mornings per week for four-hour shifts. Outside of that commitment, I have a flexible schedule and am happy to coordinate care around your pet’s needs. I’m glad to discuss specific days & times to find a schedule that works best for everyone! When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize maintaining their usual routines and providing a safe and comfortable environment. I follow each owner's instructions closely regarding feeding, exercise, training, and any special care needs. For dog walking, I prioritize leash safety and each dog's individual energy level and abilities. When house sitting, I treat every home with respect and ensure pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care while their owners are away. I also believe in keeping owners updated as appropriate so they can feel confident their pets are in good hands!
“Tara is my go-to whenever I have to leave my four fur babies! She is so communicative, flexible, and trustworthy that I have zero worries whenever I’m out of town. She was even awesome about giving my grumpy cat medicine twice a day. Thanks, Tara!”
“Rebekah was great taking care of my two cats! I think she primarily cares for dogs, however my shy cats warmed up to her and appreciated her around. Responsive and helpful. Despite being off island I felt more at ease with the communication. We were able to work through a door access issue and two storms/power disruptions.”
“Kayla was great! She was very sweet to our cats, and sent us lots of pictures of them while we were away. She gave us regular updates, and visited them multiple times a day just to check on them. She went above and beyond. She’d be a great option to watch your pets!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing with my cat! She definitely made my trip away feel stress free knowing that she was giving Beef (my cat) all the attention and love he needed while I was gone. Highly recommend her!”
“Brooke's communication during our trip was excellent. We got daily messages about how the dogs were doing and pictures, when the dogs cooperated. I could tell our girls were well cared for during our absence.”
About: Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds. I recently lost a beloved family dog in Japan, which deepened my appreciation for the importance of compassionate, attentive care for animals. Although I do not currently have a pet of my own, I stay closely connected to animals through volunteering at the humane society, where I help care for and socialize dogs of different temperaments and needs. I am active, reliable, and very attentive to each animal’s individual personality and routine. I enjoy providing safe, loving care, regular exercise, and meaningful companionship tailored to each dog’s needs—whether that means calm indoor time, structured walks, or active outdoor time for more energetic dogs. I work mostly remotely, so I’m home the majority of the day and can provide consistent care and attention. I do have occasional appointments, but I plan my schedule to ensure pets are always checked on and cared for regularly. I’m also very active and enjoy hiking and outdoor time, so I’m happy to include pets who enjoy walks, exercise, and being out and about. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care or medications. In the home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and not alone for long periods, giving them consistent companionship and supervision. I keep the environment clean, calm, and stress-free, and I’m very respectful of the client’s home, treating it with care as if it were my own.

We rebooked Victoria to take care of our boys during our long trip because we absolutely love her! ❤️ She’s trustworthy, reliable, and so easy to work with. Especially our boys love her and that gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. We couldn’t recommend her enough! 100% recommend! 🥰

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kailua is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $31 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 1,439 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 .
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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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 .
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.
