About: We have raised all types of dogs. From working dogs to avalanche dogs. Even wolf dogs. I have been involved with dogs my whole life. They are part of our family I am around the house all day. I have different fenced areas for the dogs to play. I also have different apartments the dogs can stay in. But i prefer all the dogs live and eat and sleep around us. I go on 1-2 walks a day. The Back of our property is a fenced 1acre fruit forest we allow the dogs to sit on couches and we have multiple dog beds around the house.
“Lauren was great watching our 2 large dogs while we were out of town. They get excited sometime last and can be a lot to handle, but they loved playing with her and she was able to walk them.”
About: My name is Chrissy! Since a very young age, I have always had a special spot in my heart for animals of all kinds, although it’s especially soft for dogs 🐕 I have raised and cared for many different breeds of dogs, all sizes too! I have experience with puppies, special needs and elderly animals. Most of my time is dedicated to caring for animals, while my husband manages a skate shop (he’s a dog whisperer too) & our littles are very respectful, loving and kind with all the different animals we’ve been blessed to spend time with. We are a pretty active family, always outside exploring & appreciating what the universe has given us. We love a long walk on the beach and we’d love for your pup to join us! 🌊 Mahalo nui loa for your consideration in choosing me to care for your loved one. 🐶 🐱 ❤️ My schedule is completely open for boarding, check ins, daily walks and doggy day care. Please feel free to message me with any questions regarding scheduling and pricing. I am more than capable of providing your pups with plenty of enrichment, exercise and companionship. Whether it’s a beach day, daily walks, or help administering medications - I’m your girl! I have my own transportation and am available between the areas of Kalihiwai to Kapa’a.
“Carla is top notch at taking care of my French Bulldog Mitch! He didn’t even seem to miss me. Which is a great thing for me. Carla asked a lot of important questions and took amazing care of our home. I will definitely have her take care of Mitch again!”
About: I will love on them as if they were my own. I've had many years of experience with all types of dogs. From big to small. I have taken care of senior dogs and puppies. I am patient and easy going. I will talk to your fur baby, give lots of pets, cuddle if they want, and play with them. I am currently between jobs. So I have plenty of time for your fur babies. My car is even pet friendly if they need to be transported for whatever reason. I don't own my home, I'm only renting. So I could only have pets over for short periods. But there is a fence around the entire property (a quarter acre), and they would be able to run around freely.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11. I love to take them on long walks, trips to the park, and out for a “pup-cup”. Recently my 14 year old golden retriever passed away, so I’m hoping to share my love with others’ pets that are in need of care! I’m currently working remotely full-time so would plan to work from your home while I’m watching your furry ones. This is an ideal solution as your pet is guaranteed focused attention and multiple bathroom breaks or walks per day. I treat every pet as if they’re my own. I love to make sure their needs are met & exceeded, plenty of pets/love are given, and that we send picture updates while you’re away! I am quiet & respectful and love to keep spaces clean, so I will treat your home as my own.
About: Our family travels for part of each year, which makes having a dog of our own impractical right now. But we absolutely adore animals. Our daughter, Sequoia, spent part of her childhood on a working dairy farm. She’s an enthusiastic little skipping encyclopedia of animal facts, conservation efforts, and animal behavior. One of the highlights of her day is meeting neighborhood dogs on our walks, learning their names, and offering a treat and a little affection. We are posting here for the extraordinary pleasure of having doggies in our lives. We accept dogs from just one household at a time because we want the experience to be thoughtful, slowed down and personal. Before booking, you’re welcome to visit our home for a complimentary visit. Once you’ve booked, we’d like to come meet your dog in their usual home. We’d like to learn their routines, favorite games, funny habits, and where they are most comfortable. Sequoia’s involvement is always supervised by an adult, and we only welcome dogs that are genuinely comfortable around children. The adults handle all care and responsibility, with plenty of loving support around the household. We’d love to send you photos, little videos of your dog’s adventures, and even arrange one-way FaceTime hellos, or two way calls if your dog enjoys that! And if we’re lucky enough to capture those ears flying in slow motion on a romp, you’ll absolutely be getting that video. Our hope is simple: You’ll have a wonderful trip, your dog will have a wonderful stay, and we’ll all make new friends. After your return our daughter would be delighted to see her furry friends again, whether or not there’s another booking on the calendar, so let’s definitely stay in touch and make some play dates! I am home essentially all day, so visiting dogs can enjoy companionship rather than spending their vacation waiting for someone to return home. Whether you have an enthusiastic adventurer who could happily walk for miles or a professional napper who considers a leisurely sniff around the garden a very successful morning, I’ll learn your dog’s normal routine. I’m happy to include runs for dogs if they can handle! Between outings, there’s time for play, exploring our fenced outdoor space, relaxing indoors, getting attention, and simply enjoying the rhythm of home. With your permission, I’d also love to offer a daily home-cooked, real-meat treat. I’ll send updates throughout the stay, and we’re happy to arrange FaceTime calls if your pup enjoys hearing from you. I know how much trust it takes to leave your love bug with someone new. That’s why we welcome you to visit my home before making a booking. Come, see where your dog would spend their days, explore the environment, and ask every question you have. I’d much rather take the time to make sure everyone feels comfortable than rush into a reservation. My home has a dog-safe outdoor area, and I am home essentially all day. I accept dogs from only one household at a time so they won’t be unexpectedly sharing its stay with unfamiliar boarding dogs. Because I have a young daughter, every visiting dog must be comfortable around children. She is wonderfully enthusiastic about animals. Interactions are supervised, and dogs are always allowed the space and quiet they need. Before a stay, we’ll discuss your dog’s feeding instructions, health considerations, medications, temperament, behavioral triggers, walking preferences, and emergency contacts. You can expect genuine updates—not simply proof that your dog is still here, but glimpses of how they’re actually doing. Eating well? Settling comfortably? Discovering a favorite spot? Enjoying a particularly funny moment? Your doggie will only be as far away as the phone in your pocket.
About: I excel in pet care because of my genuine love for spending time with dogs and cats. I also provide extra care for senior pets and enjoy outdoor activities. I work remotely with flexible hours, enjoying the outdoors and strolling along the river daily. Love all types of dog and open to walking and running outside. In both my home and yours, I prioritize safety by creating a pet-friendly environment. Trust is key, so I maintain clear communication and adhere to any specific needs or routines.

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 Kapaa 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 Kapaa 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 Kapaa 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.

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.
