“Janey is wonderful with my furbaby. She’s patient, attentive, and tailors her care to his specific needs, medical necessities (allergies & meds), safety concerns and unique Bichon qualities. She communicated daily updates concisely and consistently, along with great photos, which put me at ease. As a bonus, Janey organized my baby’s toys and belongings and leaves my place in order, much neater than how she found it. Overall, It’s a pleasure to work with her.”


“Julie looked after my pet is if he was her own, and I had zero concern about him while I was away. Communication was quick and uncomplicated!”



“Communication was amazing. Dogs loved Michelle. She sent a bunch of pictures and took them out for multiple walks. Would definitely recommend and will have her watch the boys again!”



“Ryan is excellent. He really knows how to interact with dogs. He is prompt and communicative. And we recieived great photos of our pup every day we were gone. We will continue to book Ryan as our dog sitter!”


“Rebecca did an amazing job house sitting my fur baby for the 7 days and nights I was away and kept my home very clean. Rebecca even washed all the bedding and dishes she used, if any. My home was as clean as I left, if not cleaner. I’m very very pleased with her services and will recommend her to everyone!! Rebecca, you are da best!! Thank you so much!!!”


“Liz was really great with my senior 16 y/o Chihuahua. My dog was having health issues and Liz was able to keep her eyes healthy and she looked great when I got home! There was a possible seizure during my time away, and Liz was prompt to let me know and discuss all the details of the situation. She was able to be there for my baby and keep her as safe as possible. She watered my plants and kept my home clean. She was great, and I would ask her to sit my babes again if it works out! Thanks Liz!”


“Hayley has been amazing! She was able to accommodate our situation on short notice and was incredibly effective in communicating throughout. We received constant updates with photos and notes about Coco, which gave us total peace of mind. Her care, attention to detail, and reliability are top notch. We trust her completely and feel so lucky to have her looking after Coco. Highly recommended!”


“We were so lucky that Keala was able to watch our dog, especially so last-minute. We needed to leave town for a funeral over a holiday long weekend. Keala made herself immediately available to meet. She is extremely professional, very reliable and responsible - she took excellent care of our dog and our home while we were away. Our family highly recommends her and will certainly contact her again in the future.”


“Kathleen exceeded our expectations while house sitting and watching my pets. She went above and beyond to ensure that my home was better than I left it when I left for vacation. Kathleen sent updates, and was very easy to communicate with. We had a flight delay and I texted Kathleen to ask her if she could let my dogs out late in the evening as we would not be home until much later than planned, she responded with a very prompt and friendly “no problem” which made my situation a lot easier. Thank you again Kathleen! We will definitely be hiring you again!”


About: I have owned and cared for 4 dogs (1 lab, 2 beagles, 1 mutt), and 5 cats (3 orange tabby cats, 1 longhair black cat, 1 calico) in my lifetime, and I always play with the pet at the party. My favorite dog is the beagle and my favorite cat is orange but I love them all. I am available nearly every day and most evenings. I know how to quickly win over a pet with genuine display of empathy and affection. Knowing the spot to scratch also helps. I have very long legs and walk miles daily, so I can outwalk most dogs and keep up with them as they chase birds and mongoose. If they are not yet tired from the walk, I love playing tug-of-war afterwards. My life goal is to own a large yard, 2 dogs and 2 cats, and I am working towards that goal every day. I am currently working part-time as a theatre teacher. My teaching hours are 9-3 on Tuesdays and 11-3 on Thursdays/Fridays. I do theatre and improv most weekends in the evenings. Otherwise I am very available! I only use leashes that are secure. I keep a tight grip on a leash and wrap it around my fist to be safe. I am good about checking and securing gates.

“Aris is probably one of the most detail-oriented and kindest sitters we’ve ever had! My partner and I felt so confident leaving her to house-sit, and she was super mindful of communication while we were away. Also, if you’re looking to get some of the cutest photos of your pet, she shares the best! (: when we came back, our place was almost as if we had just left and everything was so clean! Could not recommend her enough, 1000/100!! ?”


“She was very friendly and helped us out on short notice. I highly recommend her!!”


“Motomi provided exceptional care for my 12-year-old fur baby, Sammie, during my recent trip. Given Sammie’s age and need for daily medication, I appreciated Motomi’s attentiveness and the tender love she showed. She regularly sent photo and video updates upon request and was proactive in addressing any questions or concerns. Initially hesitant to welcome a stranger into my home, I was relieved when Motomi followed my instructions and even tidied up before leaving. I will definitely reach out to her again for future pet-sitting needs.”


About: Dogs of all sizes and breeds were a part of my family growing up. I've pet-sit for friends on trips, including caring for a senior dog, and multiple pets (2 pups and 3 cats) at once in the same home. I've fostered a few times, including a puppy being treated for heartworm but, my current place doesn't allow me the opportunity to care for animals. I'm able to provide care for your pets in your home and neighborhood. If they're on a special diet or require a specific feeding method, please let me know. I also have experience in giving baths, applying treatments, and administering medication. When taking pups on walks, I like to be mindful of the time and temperature so the pups aren't walking on burning asphalt. I also like to be mindful of cleaning up after your pups, so we're not leaving a mess for the community if we can help it. I can check-in on, play, feed, walk, and give attention to your pups. I'm available during the week and on the weekends, including nights. If you require walks &/or feeding outside of my available neighborhoods, there might be some additional fees depending on distance and time of day (if applicable). I'm able to pet sit in your home so that your pups are more comfy and relaxed. I like to provide a calm atmosphere for them, giving them lots of attention based on their needs, and try my best to stick to their routines. I'm available to stay the night or do drop-ins. I'm not a partier, and believe in taking care when handling other's things so rest assured that your home is in good hands.

About: I have been an avid dog lover my whole life, growing up with many dogs in the home. As a teen I trained a golden retriever, Cooper, to be a therapy dog and he was the youngest dog ever to be certified by the Humane Society’s therapy program. I also worked at a vet office assisting staff with dogs in their care, taking them on walks, administering medication, and helping dog parents handle high energy or nervous dogs during appointments. During college I walked a local dog named Ridley weekly and when I moved to LA for a year I walked and pet sit a good boy named Prynce. I love walking and caring for dogs, it’s a joy to meet new fluffy friends and have a great time outdoors. I am a recent college graduate looking to start my career in wildlife conservation and am hoping for part time work while I apply to jobs. My schedule is very open! The safety of the dog comes first! I am very meticulous about following the directions of the owner and will always be available to call or text for any questions or updates on your pet.

“Lizette was amazing during her stay with Millie. She kept me updated with pictures and photos, as well as anything I needed to be aware of. I took tell Millie was comfortable with her at the start and had a great time as well. We will be using Lizette again in the future!”



“Allison was wonderful! She sent me photo updates of my pup while I was away, and left me a good detailed description of what they did: last time she ate, went to the bathroom, etc. I had Allison do the house sitting option and she left my house clean and tidy, you wouldn't hardly know she was there except for the extremely happy pup I came home to!!! Thanks Allison!”


“Savannah is fantastic! She's house sat my very energetic German Shepherd a few times. She always sends pictures and is very communicative. My house always looks great when I get home and my GSD always seems like she had a great time while I was gone.”


“Brooke was absolutely AMAZING! She was attentive, stuck to timing, and genuinely cared about our dog. We will definitely be utilizing her service in the future!”


“I could not have asked for a better experience with a sitter! Being gone over 2 weeks made me nervous but Elise gave be multiple daily updates which eased my mind. Not only did I come back to two very happy dogs but my house was cleaner than I left it. I don't think I will ever ask anyone but Elise to watch my dogs!”

Dan C.

We had him walk our high energy two-year-old shepherd mix, and he did a great job finding fun places for her to explore and tiring her out (he sent us a couple photos of our very happy dog). He took the time to sit and play with her afterwards to make sure she was settled and cooled down before he left, and he was conscientious of our home. Would definitely recommend Dan as someone to care for your dogs. He has a lot of experience with high energy young dogs and persnickety old dogs - and seems to love them all equally.”

Kalihi Valley pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ashley is a top notch dog sitter. She took great care of our dog and house while we were off island for 10 days. Very communicative, flexible and loved our dog.

Emily was absolutely fantastic! She took such great care of our two dogs and communicated with me consistently so I knew how they were doing every day while we were gone.

Took excellent care of my fur baby and helped administer lots of eye drops, which was greatly appreciated.

Elise was great! Touched base frequently and gave us updates on our pups. She was incredibly flexible and a huge stress relief when our travel plans hit a snag. Look forward to her watching our animals again!

Max 5 star ratings for Aris S! She took great care of my 5 kitties while on a long business/vacation trip. They have never taken to any other human other than me before but they took to Aris immediately. She'll be my #1 go to house/cat sitter going forward. Aris is someone you can trust and rely upon to take care of your kids - no doubt!

Rochelle was great at sending updates and pictures while I was away. I felt very confident that my large dog Wisco was being well taken care of and that his special needs/requests were being accommodated. I would definitely book again.
