“Lawrence stayed at our home to care for our two Shih Tzus while we traveled for a quick two-night trip, and we are so incredibly grateful for him. Not only did he take wonderful care of our dogs, but he did so during the intense Kona storm here in Hawaii, which made leaving home even more stressful. Knowing Lawrence was there gave us so much peace of mind. Our puppy is still young and full of energy, and our older dog needs a little extra patience and care — he handled both of them so thoughtfully. One thing we really appreciated was how communicative he was. He sent so many photos and updates, which we absolutely loved. It made it so much easier to relax on our trip knowing they were safe, happy, and being well cared for. He also went above and beyond in ways we didn’t expect. When we mentioned we might be coming back earlier than planned, he even checked in when he hadn’t heard back from us just to make sure he was available to stop by and check on the dogs after he left if needed. That level of care and responsibility meant so much. To top it off, he surprised our puppy with the cutest little shrimp toy, which was such a sweet and thoughtful gesture. When we got home, the dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly very comfortable with him. It’s such a relief to find someone you can truly trust with both your pets and your home. Lawrence is kind, responsible, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. We feel very lucky to have found him and will absolutely be reaching out to him again for future trips. Highly recommend!”

“Let me tell you all — hire Amber. Hire her now! From the moment we met her, we knew she was the one we wanted caring for our cat. She is incredibly sweet, kind, and gentle, and you can immediately tell she truly loves animals. Our entire experience felt both professional and warm — the perfect balance. She gave thoughtful, consistent updates and quickly picked up on our cat’s unique traits and behaviors. It was so reassuring to hear her observations and know our girl was not only being cared for, but truly understood. She also kept our home spotless, which meant so much to us. We are admittedly animal fanatics and left way too many instructions — and she handled it all with such ease and grace. Never once did we feel like we were “too much.” She embraced it. We absolutely loved having her as our sitter and would hire her again and again without hesitation. Amber is a gem.”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. When your dog is in my care, I treat them with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, likes, dislikes, and comfort level so they can feel safe and happy while you’re away. Whether that means going on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, having plenty of playtime, or simply giving them extra cuddles and company, I’m happy to adjust to what your pup needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and will keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is being well cared for. 🐾❤️ I’m currently a college student taking all of my classes fully online, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to do my schoolwork from almost anywhere. Because of this, I have plenty of availability throughout the day to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m able to easily work feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins around your pet’s normal routine rather than making them adjust to mine. This flexibility also allows me to spend quality time with your pet and make sure they aren’t left alone for long periods while you’re away. 🐾💕 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand that I’m being trusted with both a beloved family member and someone’s personal space, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other special needs. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. I’ll also respect your home and leave everything clean and secure. Most importantly, I’ll give your pet plenty of patience, affection, and attention while keeping you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. 🐾❤️

About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was 5 years old. I owned 4 dogs, and my oldest childhood dog was an 16 English cocker spaniel. I also have taken care of my eldest sister’s two dogs named Duke and Rousey who are high energy dogs that I take on walks at least twice a day. I have another childhood dog I take care of, Lily who is a Labrador Chihuahua Mix with a little social anxiety. I know how to give dogs oral medication to making sure that they are well taken care of if given a strict schedule. Senior care is a skill of mine, especially having to learn how to take care of my own senior animals and how important it is when it comes to comfortability and making sure they have enough loving to keep them calm throughout the day. I am currently a student at University of Hawaii West Oahu and all my classes are online so my schedule is extremely flexible if anything is needed. I have a fenced yard with turf and pet safe plants for my pets and yours to take a sniff and have the time of their life running around! If you have an indoor dog, we have an AC unit in the living room that is always running to ensure the comfort of our own animals. My dogs are extremely friendly and I can even have a separate area if needed.

“Maribell took such amazing care of our cat and dog. She knew we were nervous about our dog being in the kennel too long since I’m usually home during the day. She had her niece help by coming to spend time with our pets during the day while she was at work. She also knew that my son gets lonely when he’s away from our dog so she made sure to send lots of pictures and videos for him. She had great communication throughout our time away. We returned home to very happy pets and a clean home. She had already taken out the trash, changed the sheets on the bed, and had the washer going for us. We really appreciated the extra help after a super long travel day. We’re grateful for the great care she took of our pets and our home. I would definitely recommend her.”

I currently have 4 cats of my own and care for a neighborhood cat as well. I work from home so I do not need to commute. I am available early morning and in the evening every day of the week. I will take the time to get to know your pets. I truly enjoy building relationships and finding what your pet enjoys. From play time, cuddles, treats, or just chillin, I want your pet to feel loved while you are away.

About: I have prior experience working as a dog handler and customer service representative at a boarding facility paired alongside with relevant experience as a vet tech assistant in an animal hospital. I know the hustle and bustle of life may sometimes keep you from being able to fully engage with your pet, or you may just want to ensure your pet is on their own staycation while you and your Ohana go on your vacation! That’s where I come in. I have been around dogs all my life and am aspiring to become a veterinarian sometime in the future so I know how much love and care your animal deserves. You can trust me to care for your pet as if they were my own!

About: I grew up on a farm and have had dogs of every shape and size my entire life. I have experience with dogs with diabetes and am comfortable giving them their shots. I am willing to drive to any part of the island but I am located in Ewa Beach so please allow grace for traffic if you are townside. Size does not scare me as I was watching over 12 horses daily in Kapolei, my elderly dog requires 4 medications a day so medications are a breeze as I’ve had to learn every trick in the book. *I have an elderly dog and young cat in my home so all animals must pass a flea inspection and have recent vaccines.* I am currently unemployed due to medical conditions not letting me be able to be in large crowds. I can adapt my schedule to you and your animals needs because of this and can be available anytime outside of my appointments and treatment days. I have a larger fenced yard in Ewa Beach, I provide filtered water for all animals and treat any animal in my home as if it were my own. In my house animals are allowed on furniture and beds. I will always leave a space cleaner than found, if I am house sitting/pet sitting I will lightly clean the area. If your animal becomes muddy, or dirty under my care I will wash them. If you don’t want them on furniture I will make sure they do not go on any.

Mackenize did such a wonderful job taking care of our dogs while we were out of town. We have one senior diabetic dog who unexpectedly had a seizure while we were gone. Mackenzie acted promptly and ensured she was in a safe place during the seizure and called us immediately after, and took her in promptly to our vet. It's comforting to know Mackenzie was there taking quick action and taking the best care of our pup. Couldn't recommend her more!

Asking Arianna to house sit and care for our dog and two cats was the best decision. She cared for our pets like her own and was very communicative. Arianna helped to relieve my anxiety about being away by answering my questions promptly and with reassuring information. It was obvious from the pictures, videos and the behavior of my pets when we got home that they enjoyed their time with her. We highly recommend Arianna and will be asking for help over and over again.

We had not tried a house/dog sitter before, and were very lucky to have met Malcolm. Our dog Molly is a little bit rambunctious, and she took to Malcolm immediately. He kept her on her food and exercise routine and sent pictures of her activities to us while we were gone. I felt like the communication was fantastic, Molly was well cared for, and my home was in better condition than when we left. What more could you ask for?

FAQs for House Sitting - Kapolei

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Kapolei on Rover is $55 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $67 per night. 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 1,017 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kapolei. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Kapolei 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 Kapolei 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Kapolei 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 Kapolei. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
