“Chelsea provided excellent care for our two cats! It was such a relief to know our animals were well taken care of while we were away. The daily updates and photos were a plus! We highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“We highly recommend Molly. She took great care of our two dogs, she was flexible, cheerful and, most importantly, it was obvious that she really likes dogs! Molly came over for a meet and greet prior to her assignment, which put our minds at ease. Everything worked beautifully and Molly kept us informed about how our dogs were doing. Thank you, Molly!”
About: Aloha! 🌺 First off let me thank you for considering me as an option to care for your furry or not so furry friend! 🐾 I am from Illinois originally and have been living on the Big Island 3+ years. I like to spend my spare time in the water or on the trails. I love all animals and do exceptionally well with dogs & cats. I believe strongly in regular exercise, stimulative play, and a healthy diet for all animals. I am fast learning and willing to adapt to your pet's needs. I have many years of experience caring for dogs & cats in a personal capacity. I was a cat owner for 10 years until his passing a few years ago from cancer. I have lived with several different dogs of all shapes, sizes, & temperaments throughout my life, being a family pet, a partner's, or a roommate's. I have always wanted a dog of my own, however, have not yet been in the proper personal situation to do so. In addition to dogs & cats, I have experience caring for horses & rabbits. I am open to any type of pet care, and if you have any specific questions about my pet care please send me a message! Mahalo Nui Loa, Jess I am currently working part-time Wed-Sat 10am-7pm. Outside of that time I'm available for whatever need your fuzzy (or not so fuzzy) friend may have! Although I do not provide sitting in my home, I'll follow your pets schedule & needs as close as possible in yours! I always have an extra leash & water bowl in my car ready for anything!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family for years, and caring for animals has always been something very close to my heart. I’m comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, including giving medications and insulin injections. All of my cats have had medical issues at some point, so I’m very familiar with the extra patience, attention, and love that elderly or special-needs pets may need. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I treat every animal as if they were my own and take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I am currently working full time but have a flexible schedule. I’m always ready to discuss how I can meet your pet’s needs. I live in a condominium that allows cats. I live on the second floor and have a balcony for fresh air if that’s important for your cat.
About: birds, bunny’s, snakes, dogs, puppy’s, cats, kittens, turtles, and all of the above, love animals and would love to meet more! Message me for details or questions! in and out of Sitka southeast right now, born and raised here and happy to help! Message me! Can do early mornings and late nights. I have pets of my own so unfortunately your animal would have to remain in their own home, thank you for understanding. Message me for questions!
About: I grew up with 2 Australian shepherds and I have shadowed a professional dog trainer. Although I have the most experience with Ausie’s, I am comfortable around all dogs that are friendly to humans :) I have also recently spent time getting to know cats and have fallen in love with them too! I work nights doing manta tours! Usually 4 nights a week, almost full time but not quite. I am happy to take care of your house or pets while you’re away. I am happy to accommodate to any specifications you have for taking care of your fluffy friend. I will pay close attention to all the pets needs and behaviors and follow your instructions. I love animals and am happy to do it!
About: Aloha! We have cared for many animals, plants, and homes over the last 5yrs as full time caretakers + pet au pairs. House sitting in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Bali, Vietnam, California, and Hawaii. As a medical professionals (nurses), we are extremely comfortable with administering medications and special care when needed. *** 50+ reviews on another platform - available upon request! *** Full time pet au pairs, so most of the time is spent caring for the pet and being comfortable in the home environment together - while enjoying the vibes of the local community. Prefer long term care arrangements of 2wks - 3 months. This allows time to bond with the pet, establish routines, and enjoy the experience at a slower pace.
About: Not being able to have my own pets, as my apartment has strict pet rules, I enjoy meeting new fur friends and spending time with them if they are needing some company while you are away. I have dog sat for three different families regularly for the past 3 years and love being around both cats and dogs. I have great attention to detail, so if your fur babies have any specific needs they will be met. I typically stay in-house being that I feel animals are more comfortable in their own homes doing their usual routines. Pet care doesn’t typically fit in my daily routine, it fits more with a last minute weekend get away or vacation. I would like to meet and greet prior to the dates needed to make sure I have a full scale of how they like to spend their time with family around. I care for pets typically the best in their own homes. I think the comfort and security of being in their familiar environments eases the stress of a new person in their home. I will learn their everyday routes for walks, what treats they enjoy the most and am attentive to their needs.

So thankful to have Callista pop in and take care of our cat while we are away. It can be hard finding people you can trust to watch your animals, but it is clear that she has a lot of experience pet sitting and treats pets like she would her own. We will definitely use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Kealakekua is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $45 per visit. On Rover, 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 82 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Kealakekua. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

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 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.
