I love Vanesa! She takes such great care of our dogs and treats them like her own. She always sends updates and pictures, which makes being away so much easier. I never have to worry when we’re gone. She gives me total peace of mind. So grateful I found her!

Kristen is a superior pet sitter. She took care of my dogs and chickens for 1.5 weeks and was on time for her visits. She made sure the dogs didn't escape from the fenced area, she played with the dogs, and even brought them a toy to play tug of war with. When we initially met, she had paperwork for me to fill out, which felt very professional, and in the meeting before we left, she took notes. When I was on my trip, I had forgotten to log into Rover from my phone, so in addition to submitting her photos and comments to Rover, she also sent me the pictures and comments to my phone directly. Lastly, our water system malfunctioned during the trip, resulting in beeping from the filter system. She took it upon herself to send me a video to inform me and asked me if there was anything I would like her to do to address the issue. This wasn't in her pet-sitting duties, but it was kind and thoughtful. I highly recommend Kristen for drop-in visits.

About: Hi! My name is Isabella A, and I’m a full-time student at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo. In my free time, I love being outdoors, whether it’s hiking, going to the beach and looking for shells, or exploring new places to eat. Growing up here on the Big Island, I was always surrounded by animals, which sparked my lifelong love for them. I’ve had experience caring for dogs, and cats since i was 10 and I understand how important pets are as members of your family. You can trust me to provide attentive care, lots of love, playtime, and snuggles for your four-legged family members. 🐶❤️ I am currently a full time student with a part time job. I will be available anytime during breaks (winter, spring, summer). During these breaks i will be available from 7am - 5pm! 😊 I would love to meet your furry companions and make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you are away! They deserve the best! ❤️✨

Victoria was very responsive, prompt, friendly, reliable, communicative, and did exactly what I asked her to do. She spent time to make sure Tseze (and the farm dog) felt comfortable with her, something that is very important to me. Thank you Victoria, we look forward to seeing you again! Mahalo, Lindsay

Austin was absolutely amazing. My dog is not the easiest to handle since she is so shy, and barks a lot. But he was extremely patient with her and she warmed up to him, they were friends by the end of the stay. He went above and beyond for us, and we are extremely grateful!!!

Olivia was incredible! I have had anxiety in the past leaving my baby boy, but with her I was not worried. She was attentive and asked clarifying questions. When we were gone, she communicated well and took so many cute pics! We will definitely be using her in the future for other trips!

About: I have taken care of dogs from a young age and have always loved animals. I grew up with fish and turtles as well! We have a Shih Tzu Maltese mix that is friendly to all fur babies and humans. I am very reliable, punctual, and have always followed through with everything that I do. Rest assured that your fur baby will be safe with me. I decided to follow my passion in life. With that, I took a leap of faith to do what I truly love, which is caring for animals on a full-time basis! Hours are from 6 am-6 pm for doggy day care. If you are late in picking up your dog, there will be an additional $15 charge added to your total. We have a house with a completely fenced in and gated yard so your fur babies can roam around freely! I vacuum and mop on the daily as well! We do have split a/c units in almost every room. In addition, we maintain our property with pesticides that are safe for dogs to prevent fleas, ticks, and heart worm. To ensure a safe environment, we expect that your dog is on flea, tick, and heart worm medicine and are up-to-date with all vaccines.

About: I’ve had a deep love for animals my entire life, and I find great joy in caring for and training dogs. For the past 5 years, I’ve worked as a professional service dog trainer and am a certified Guide Dog Mobility Instructor. I strive to provide compassionate individualized care and training to each dog that I care for. I love going out for adventures and will gladly bring your pup along with me! Please have your dog updated on their flea treatment prior to adventuring with me so we can have the most fun together. If the weather is nasty, your pup can expect a day filled with snuggles, Nylabone chewing, puzzle toys, scent games throughout the house, and some basic obedience training. I’m also happy to provide additional training if requested at additional cost. I have a very flexible work schedule, so I have ample time to care for and play with your furry friend! Some weekends I am out of town, so it’s best to book in advance for boarding. I’m happy to stay in your home while you’re away so your pup can remain comfortable in their home environment. I love taking dogs out for long walks or on adventures nearby if they’re up for it. I prefer to bring my dog along with me if that’s possible, but not required. My dog is a medium sized mixed breed named Mulee. He loves having dog friends to play with and gets along with just about everyone he meets!

About: I have over 16 years of experience caring for dogs. I raised my own Poodle from puppyhood until she was 17 years old, and I potty trained her and cared for her every day. I currently care for two large dogs, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes. Animals naturally feel comfortable around me, and I enjoy building trust with every pet. I am patient, dependable, and will care for your dog as if they were part of my own family. I have a flexible schedule for drop-in visits and dog walking. I will make sure your dog is fed, has fresh water, gets exercise, and receives plenty of love and attention. I always follow your pet’s routine and your instructions carefully so they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m confident handling both large and small dogs and enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs. I take time to earn every dog’s trust and make sure they feel calm, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I will treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect as my own.

About: I’ve always enjoyed caring for animals of all types and taking care of a home, and I’m someone who naturally pays attention to the little things. Ive done pet and property sitting my whole adult life, primarily in Bend, OR. I also spent time in Corfu, Greece caring for dogs with disabilities who were abandoned. Ive worked with dogs of all sizes, cats, and farm animals. I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets and understand that every animal has its own routine and personality. When you’re away, I know you want someone dependable who will follow your instructions, keep your pets comfortable, and leave your home the way you found it. That’s the kind of care I provide—straightforward, responsible, attentive, and trustworthy. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, while keeping up with their normal feeding, exercise, medication, and bathroom routines. I enjoy having animals as part of my daily life and make sure their care is a priority rather than something I have to fit in around a busy schedule. Pet and House sitting is all I do, so I dedicate all of my attention to it and am focused on those responsibilities. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, exercise, medications, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow their instructions carefully, while keeping things clean and making sure their pets are comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I'm very attentive and notice when an animal is acting even a little bit off and pay great attention to their body language.

About: Animals have always naturally gravitated toward me, and caring for dogs has never felt like “work” to me I genuinely love it. I’ve helped watch and care for dogs for family and friends many times over the years, and I’m the type of person who pays close attention to their energy, comfort, and routines. I know every dog is different and I’m very patient with shy, anxious, high-energy, or affectionate dogs alike. I am very intuitive with their needs and and some people even call me a “dog whisperer”, because of how in tune I am. I love spending quality time with them, whether that’s going on walks, playing outside, relaxing together, or simply making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. I also understand how important updates and communication are when someone trusts you with their pet, so I always aim to be dependable, attentive, and caring. I currently work as an online life coach, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care, walks, check-ins, overnight stays, and quality time with your dog. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals so I’m able to give them lots of attention, companionship, and care rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My schedule is very open and flexible, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I always want pets to feel safe, calm, and comfortable while in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, energy level, and routine so they can feel as relaxed and at home as possible. I’m very patient and attentive, and I make sure pets have plenty of love, supervision, playtime, water, potty breaks, and a peaceful environment. I also understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide updates, photos, and dependable care so owners can feel fully at ease while they’re away.🐶❤️ I’m also a very clean and hygienic person and I always treat people’s homes with respect and care. I genuinely like keeping spaces tidy, and I aim to leave your home just as clean or even cleaner than I found it.

About: Aloha: My experience goes back to my childhood, where I helped my mother breed and raise Cocker Spaniel puppies. I have always owned animals, including cats during my college years, and our family has cared for goats, dogs, chickens, and rabbits. I am very comfortable with puppies and experienced in fostering their training process, committing to the consistency necessary for a dog's development. Furthermore, I have experience caring for elderly animals at the end of their life cycles, including administering medicine and providing extra care. I have also attended to animals with various injuries. My primary strength is maintaining consistent routines, which I believe is essential for helping an animal feel loved and safe. Regarding equine experience, I have basic ground work skills with horses and donkeys. As my children have been riding since age three, I have had many opportunities to groom, feed, clean hooves, and ensure there are no external injuries from the ground. I appreciate your time and consideration. Aloha:  Our ohana owns a 3-acre property on the Big Island, where we are blessed with three outdoor rescue cats, three rescue dogs, and two Nubian goats. As a dedicated mother and wife, caretaking is truly my blueprint. Caring for animals and providing house-sitting services for a "staycation" fits perfectly with my passion for animals. It also provides me with a wonderful opportunity to take some time for myself to relax and rejuvenate. I love to excercise walking dogs is my joy. I love to nurture and cuddle animals . I am a mama of 2o yrs thus I am always detail oriented regarding health. Our ohana is currently blessed with three rescue female dogs, three female outdoor rescue cats, and two Nubian goats. As they are a vital part of our family, they receive a high level of love and nurturing daily. My responsibilities and experience in caring for them include: - Daily Care: Managing daily feeding schedules and ensuring all animals are well-nourished. - Exercise and Training: Taking the dogs on regular walks around the neighborhood and maintaining up-to-date training. I have also personally trained our puppies. - Health and Wellness: Regularly checking all animals for health irregularities, administering natural medications when necessary, and staying current on goat vaccinations. - Goat Management: Grooming the goats, cleaning the barn, and providing them with nutrient-rich supplements. We take great pride in providing a healthy and loving environment for all our rescues. Please let me know if you need any further information.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and I am very passionate about caring for them. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, cows, fish, and more. I am available to assist with daily walks, feeding, companionship, and pet-sitting. I am a recent college graduate and I am looking for opportunities to connect with animals and support the community. Thank you for viewing my profile. :) I have a flexible schedule and can adapt my time to make sure pets in the community get the care, attention, and love they need. I care for pets by getting to know them as individuals. I take the time to learn from their owners about routines, preferences, and needs. I observe the pet's verbal and non-verbal communication to best understand how they are doing and what they need. By identifying their habits and behavior, I can understand what makes them comfortable, happy, and secure.

Marya is an excellent pet sitter. I was unable to physically take care of my cats due to heath issues. She responded quickly and I was able to know that my animals are well cared for. She sent photos of my pets so I could see the care they received. I highly recommend her for your pet caring needs.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Keaau

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Keaau on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 88 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Keaau. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Keaau stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Keaau. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
