“I can’t express how happy I am with Polina’s time watching my baby Aina boy. She is an outstanding sitter! I actually enjoyed my few days away because I felt he was being cared for and loved to such a high standard, which is a first for me. She went over and beyond to keep his daily routine in terms of exercise which is something I am so very grateful for. She sent me pics and updates so I always felt in the loop. She also kept my place so tidy and clean!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have experience with everything from horses and livestock, to birds, reptiles and fish. I am currently working very part time (3 hours a day) at a Kennel. I am usually always home by 11 am and am only away from home for a very short time. I have a large fenced yard, but will crate or kennel pets while unsupervised for a very short amount of time. I spend a majority of my time at home with my own pets and hanging out in the yard.
“Amanda is a stellar sitter! She is so great with animals, patient and attuned, and very attentive to our preferences for our home and the dogs routines. We felt very at ease, specifically with our older dog who is starting to go deaf and blind and has attachment anxiety which has worsened with age. Amanda was communicative throughout her stay and went above and beyond for us in securing a section of our yard after our older dog panicked and got out multiple times during our time away. What had been one of my ‘nightmare’ scenarios was handled with such grace and promptness, I am truly grateful for her. She left our home looking clean and tidy and our dogs so happy and well cared for. Absolutely planning to book again and highly recommend this sitter. Thank you so much, Amanda!”
About: I grew up on a small farm with many different animals. I’ve looked after a variety of animals since I was a child including rabbits, chickens, goats, ponies, frogs, sugar gliders, the list goes on. I have been training and showing dogs for a Labrador breeder since I was 9 years old and have experience with professionally showing and grooming dogs. I have a HUGE soft spot for cats. I have house sat for many people and have always been complimented on the quality of my care. With me, you can enjoy your time away from home knowing that your loved ones are safe and getting the best care possible. I work as a massage therapist in Kona town on Wednesday evening, and during the day Thursday-Saturday. My time away depends on how many clients book, with a maximum of 5 hours. I am very loving and kind towards all animals. I make sure they always have fresh water and get lots of pets (if they’d like). I will carefully follow the routine my client has in place and make sure their pets feel safe and comfortable in my care.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a professional background in behavioral health and behavior analysis. My work is with people—not pets—but many of the same good-care principles carry over: pay attention to behavior, respect boundaries, maintain familiar routines, and remember that everyone does better when they feel safe and understood. As your house sitter, I’ll care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where the smells are familiar, the sleeping spots have already been carefully selected, and everyone knows exactly when dinner is supposed to happen. Keeping routines predictable can reduce anxiety, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—even if your pet insists that you normally serve twice as many treats. Every animal has a unique personality. I’m patient with shy pets, enthusiastic with playful ones, and respectful of pets who need a little extra space before deciding I’m acceptable. Whether they enjoy walks, playtime, snuggles, or simply supervising me from across the room, I’m happy to follow their lead while maintaining the boundaries and routines that help them feel secure. I’ll carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions. You can also expect regular photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and being reminded frequently that they are extremely good-looking. I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’d love the chance to meet you and your furry family! I work remotely in behavioral health, so my schedule is flexible, and I bring my own reliable internet. Your pet’s meals, walks, playtime, medications, and companionship won’t compete with my work schedule. I may explore the neighborhood during downtime, but I’ll plan my outings around your pet’s routine—not expect your pet to plan around mine. I’ll respect your home, routines, and rules while providing attentive, responsible care. I’m honest, dependable, and proactive, and I’ll communicate promptly if anything unexpected occurs. Before the stay, I’ll review your pet’s routines, boundaries, emergency contacts, and veterinary information. I’ll follow your instructions closely and send regular updates—possibly including photographic evidence that your pet is running the household.
About: I’m equipped to care for all your pets needs and give them love and attention while you’re away! I have experience in cat sitting, dog sitting, Guinea pig/hamster/bird/reptiles etc. I love animals and care for all kinds. I work full-time with a consistent schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and affection before and after work, and on my days off I have lots of extra time to spend with them. I’ll always be upfront if I think a pet’s needs are beyond what my schedule can provide. I care for every pet as if they were my own while respecting your home and your routine. I follow your pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and potty breaks, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I keep your home clean, tidy up after your pet, and treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Spencer was awesome and consistently communicated throughout our whole trip. He was always upbeat and fun and kept us reassured so we could enjoy our time away fully. Would highly recomend.”
“Leana took such great care of, Watson. Kept him entertained and well looked after. I cannot think of a better person to watch my little guy when I’m away. Thank you, Leana. You’re amazing!”
“We are always nervous leaving our two doggies with a new sitter, but Zakk's meet and greet went so well that we knew our pups would be in good hands. They took an instant liking to him and from the very first photos that Zakk sent, we knew that they would be well cared for while we were away. Hiring Zakk came with a couple of extra bonuses - one, he's an experienced dog trainer and not only did he walk our pups as requested, but in addition he provided individual care (extra walkies/runs) for them. In one week, he turned two barky puppies into well behaved, much less reactive critters. We are absolutely amazed at the difference one week with Zakk made for our fur babies. They are no longer barking their fool heads off at dinner time or when people/vehicles pass our windows. In addition to this amazing transformation, Zakk and his service dog provided socialization in our home which provided another learning experience for our dogs. Not only did they hang out together, they actually played with one another, which Zakk said was unusual and positive for all three dogs. In addition to the outstanding pet care, Zakk also did the laundry, watered the plants on the landing, and left the house in good shape. We highly recommend Zakk for dog sitting and hope he's available the next time we leave and need care for our pups.”
“Raven saved the day! I was looking for a sitter very last minute and had timing restraints and Raven worked with me every step of the way and made the process so easy. She sent me a bunch of pictures throughout the day and it was obvious my pup had a great time with her when I got home.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Kalaoa is $63

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kalaoa is $76 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $94 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Kalaoa walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Kalaoa maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Kalaoa 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!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Kalaoa. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
