About: I’ve always had pets of my own and love to give them the best care of their needs, whether it’s love & affection to mental or physical stimulation, I’m ready to enjoy the day with them, Your pup will have so much fun with my dog (Oreo) & I. We hike daily and if your pup is active, they are more than welcome to join us on any hikes that we do! Or if they just like simple short walks that’s great too! I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible, as long as I know ahead of time, we can work out a schedule that works out! I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks or for play time. If your dog is crate trained during the night and you wish to continue, I have medium size crate but you are welcome to drop off their own crate with them, if they like to rest in their own crate, otherwise they are free to roam around the house and rest anywhere! Does your dog have any allergies to food/other things? or is reactive with another dog, or around food? • please let me know in advance so I can take precautions. I love updates of what my pup is doing throughout the day, when I’m not with her, so if you love getting updates of pictures of your pup throughout the day or at the end of the day just let me know!
About: Hello, My husband works as a scientist and I work for the department of education as an athletic trainer. We have a 2 and 5 year old that love animals. I am comfortable giving injections or pills if need be. We like to stay as active as possible and go on hikes, beach, walks as much as we can. The area we live is safe and quite place. There is a duck pond right next store and a park right across the street. My husband and I have been pet lovers since we were kids. He was raised with cats, birds and dog. While I was raised with dogs. We recently lost our English Bulldog of twelve years and even though we would like to get another dog in the future we would be happy watching your pets in the mean time. We do have little kids. They are 2 and 4 years old. We would prefer to watching dogs that are use to little kids. I don't work till the afternoon so morning walks are a must. My goal is to tire them out in the beginning on the day. Your pets are like our family. They are allowed on couches and beds. They will be loved like I love my kids. thank you very much

About: Most recently in March 2022, I enjoyed housesitting a sharpei for 3 weeks. Before that I housesat a very adorable golden doodle for a week. In 2021, my friends would often leave their dogs with me when they would travel lasting from days - weeks. I recently completed the Google UX Design Certificate. Therefore, I’ll be job hunting full time; I have time throughout the day to walk, feed, and hang out with your dog! Since I will be housesitting, your dog will be familiar and comfortable in their own home, decreasing the possibility of anxiety and maximizing their comfort!
“Our dog Hachi LOVES Kelly! He’s an older husky mix, full of energy, talkative, mouthy, and a little high-maintenance, but Kelly is great with him. Hachi gets so excited every time she shows up, Hachi can hardly contain himself wiggling and crying with joy; that says it all! Kelly is trustworthy and reliable and a pro with animals. We’re so grateful to to be working with her. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

About: My lifelong immersion in animal care, having grown up with multiple pets including cats and a rabbit, means I understand diverse animal personalities and communication styles. I'm skilled at reading body language and adjusting my approach based on each dog's individual temperament and needs. As Ghost's dad, I bring hands-on experience managing a husky's unique energy and needs. This gives me practical knowledge of proper exercise routines, mental stimulation, and the special attention active breeds require. I have experience working with dogs requiring special care, having previously cared long-term for a Chow Chow with specific needs. This taught me how to adapt routines and provide attentive care for dogs with unique requirements. My background with multiple pets (cats and rabbits) means I understand different animal personalities and communication styles. I'm skilled at reading body language and adjusting my approach for each pet's comfort. As a UH graduate student, I'm detail-oriented and reliable. Being fully available throughout summer means your dog gets my complete, undivided attention. I provide photo updates and detailed reports so you'll know your furry family member is receiving loving, consistent care. As a graduate student currently on summer break from UH, I have the unique advantage of being completely free every day, all day, throughout the entire summer. This means pet care isn't something I need to squeeze between other commitments – it can be my primary focus. My open schedule allows me to: - Adapt completely to your pet's ideal routine rather than forcing them to adapt to mine - Offer flexibility for early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care - Provide longer, more attentive visits without rushing to my next appointment - Be available for last-minute requests or schedule changes - Give your pet my undivided attention during every visit Since I'm not balancing pet sitting with classes, work, or other major commitments this summer, I can truly dedicate myself to providing exceptional care for your pets. Whether your dog needs multiple walks throughout the day or your cat needs consistent company while you're away, my schedule is designed to prioritize your pet's needs and well-being. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar environment and routine: - I follow your detailed care instructions precisely, respecting feeding schedules, medication times, and exercise routines - I spend quality time playing, cuddling, or simply providing companionship based on your pet's preferences - I keep your home secure, bringing in mail and alternating lights if requested - I send photo/video updates after each visit so you can see your pet is happy and comfortable - I leave detailed notes about eating, bathroom habits, behavior, and activities

“Megan is very sweet, kind and out going! She is a true Gem of a find! We will definitely have to have Megan come back and take Rocket out for walks and play dates. She is athletic which is a plus for us as Rocket is a fast walker “sometimes”....”

About: I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends from my childhood pups Oreo and Cameo to my brother’s sweet pit bulls and my best friend’s energetic heeler. I’ve volunteered at shelters, fostered kittens, and cared for pets of all ages. With me, your fur baby will get plenty of aloha, belly rubs, and adventures! I work full-time during the week but am available on weekends and select weekdays. I’m organized and committed to prioritizing quality time, walks, and play with your doggie. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow your pet’s usual routines, ensure fresh food and water, give daily walks, playtime, and lots of affection, and keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve had my own pets since I was young. I have a turtle and a cat but unfortunately, I just lost my second family dog of old age and my first due to cancer. I’m not quite ready for a dog just yet but I’d love to be around them more! I make my own schedule right now so I have a lot of time to play and hangout with pets! I also walk everyday so it would be nice to have a companion! In my home now, it would be easy to care for a smaller dog since I live in a condo but I live right on the canal with a very lengthy path for walking pets!
About: I love animals I’ve had pets my whole life I’ve worked with the Hawaii humane society on trap and release for cats I have fostered homeless dogs before through multiple shelters and my most recent dogs that I’ve had are both from Humane Society one I’ve had for four years and when we just adopted in the last four months we also have a cat that was a rescue my kids love the animals and love giving them attention we love anybody’s pets like they are own!!

I do a little bit of online and I own some properties so I spent all my time with my fur babies I live in a house with a deck where the dogs can hang out I don’t mind if they use the bathroom on the deck because it’s easy to clean I do not have a yard but I have no problem walking them Multiple times a day
“Malia was excellent with our little dachshund. She was on time for every walk and play ball with him (his favorite thing to do). Also sent us the cutest pictures of him having fun! We are really happy with her service and would definitely recommend her! Thanks Malia!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Luna and will definitely contact her again for any dog walking/sitting needs! Communication was exceptional with daily updates and photos. There was a lot of unexpected changes while we were away and Luna was super accommodating. This was our first time using Rover and feel like we hit the jackpot with her! Thank you so much Luna! You went above and beyond for us and we truly appreciate it! Mahalo Nui!”

“Sasha is fantastic! She immediately connected with both of my dogs, including the one who is usually super shy. She’s reliable and has been great about coordinating. Highly recommend!”

About: I have a huge love for animals. I've been pet sitting since I was 14. I've taken care of turtles, parrots, rabbits, dogs, and cats. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I'm in college now, and miss my cats and dog more than anything. So being able to pet sit for anyone would be a blessing! Whether its overnight stays, or just taking them on walks through out the day, I'm just happy to be there. I am currently between semesters in college door dashing but so I have completely open availability! I welcome last minute and same day services. Mahalo I believe that this is up to the owner, so I will take care of your critters as you see fit (: But I will shower them with all the love!!
“Mary Ann did such a great job with Elle! Very grateful to her for her attention to detail and loving care. She is dependable, communicative and obviously knowledgeable about caring for dogs. She will be the first person I call if I need day care for Elle again.”

Kalihi Valley dog parents share their Rover experiences
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review for Jadyn: Jadyn is absolutely amazing! I met her on a Wednesday and needed someone last-minute to watch Apollo on Thursday—she came through right away! She’s so kind, caring, and attentive, and Apollo loved her instantly. When my daughter accidentally locked our gate and Jadyn couldn’t get in, she stayed calm and found a creative solution (with my permission, of course!) to make sure Apollo was safe and happy until my daughter got home. She’s reliable, resourceful, and genuinely loves what she does. We’re so grateful to have found her on Rover—highly recommend Jadyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter who truly goes above and beyond! 🐾💛
