About: Hi there! My partner and I are available for pet sitting and house sitting. Between the two of us we will keep your pet company and be able to take them out for regular exercise. I go trail running & we go biking regularly so high energy dogs will have plenty of opportunity for exercise. We are also very used to caring for senior animals and going at their pace. Administering medications are no issue for us. Matt works from home and I am studying nutrition so your pets will not be left home alone for long durations if time. My schedule is currently flexible so please reach out for availability. I work part time in Waimea but will be able to sit in other areas of the island depending on the day. We prefer to follow your pets routine to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I’m a regular trail runner and we enjoy biking so energized animals will have the opportunity for plenty of exercise. We’re also very happy for long and slow walks for the elderly. I tend to be very snuggly with all animals and will send many photos during our stay.
“Maja was great. She took excellent care through attentiveness and genuine care for our baby Nalani. Being only 5 months old, Maja did an awesome job and kept us in the loop the entire time. She left our apartment immaculate and would love to have Maja back again.”
“Alondra was wonderful with our doggies. She stayed in our home for several days while we were away, sent notes and photos daily. We will definitely be having her back again.”
About: I’ve dog walked and dog sat for over a year and on and off for about 5 years. I’ve always loved being around animals, I grew up in a dog family and have always enjoyed walking dogs playing with them or sitting on the couch and snuggling with dogs. They’re truly happiness and every dog I’ve ever met has always put a smile on my face. As of right now I currently work part time so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. Do any days of the week work I’m a trustworthy and reliable person and will prioritize spending time with your animals making sure they’re happy and safe. I can only stay at a clients house as I can’t bring any pets to my place as I’m renting.
“Polina was amazing! She was very easy to work with and communicate with. My dog seemed very happy & well cared for both in photos that she sent and upon my return. I would rebook her in a heartbeat. Thanks for taking such good care of my dog & my house!”
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals. I’ve also taken care of dogs/cats in my community since I was a kid. I am a HUGE animal lover, and would love to spend time with your pets! I have plenty of time throughout the week and weekends to hang out with your animals. It is de-stressing for me, and something I really look forward to. I am clean, respectful, and dependable, I also follow any instructions very strictly and will take very great care of your pet and its needs.
“Highly recommend Kaylee! She saved the day. We had a change of plans last minute and had be out of town longer and within 2 minutes she responded yes so we could stay and didn’t have to worry. She was constantly updating us on how Bentley was doing with pictures of their walks and playtime. We knew she took good care of him because he was so calm and happy when we got home. We will be using her again!”
“Chelsea is fantastic! Our Penny girl is a big strong girl with wild energy so she can be difficult to manage sometimes, but Chelsea was great with her. Will definitely book again.”
About: I’ve cared for animals and pet sitting since I was very young! I have farming experience, and I love helping animals feel at peace when their owner is gone. I’ve even dealt with and more complex situations in caring for animals with medical needs. I also have a passion for chickens so if they need care while your gone I’m a great fit! I’m free on the weekends, and work remotely throughout the week, Mondays and Tuesdays I will be attending school from 9-5pm, but will be available outside of that. I am happy to care for your animal in their home including walks and keep care of basic house sitting needs while you are away! I love to play with pets and snuggle them if they’ll let me!
“Tana is an incredible person! She took great care of our babies while we were away. She sent daily updates with photos and we know that our pups love her! Tana took our pups hiking every day and treated them as if they were her own. We are very grateful to have found Tana and we feel like she is part of our family! We trust her with our pups and will be booking her services regularly!”
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! My schedule is not very set in stone right now. I have a lot of little jobs here and there but nothing full time. I will work to make myself available as much as possible. After September 21 I will start school but mostly online so I will still have free time. I am happy to accommodate to any specifications you have for taking care of your dog. I will not reward bad behavior and I will give your dog lots of attention.
About: Aloha! I’m a tradesman by day and animal-lover 24/7. I’ve had animals since i was born and know they’re more than pets, they’re true ‘ohana. Taking care of your ‘ohana isn’t a job, it’s a connection. I’d be honored to take care of your ‘ohana. I’ve volunteered at various shelters across a couple states; from quick walks to multi-hour hikes, from playing fetch to administering medication, i will treat them as my own. Mahalo! I do have a full-time job, as a carpenter, so i am occupied Monday thru Friday, from 6am-4pm. Any animal that needs to be let outside will be taken care of every morning, every afternoon, and at lunchtime if possible. We can discuss what kind of schedule would make you (and your animal(s) the most comfortable! I believe there’s no better comfort for an animal than being in their home. I find it more tolerable for animals to get used to a new person rather than a new person AND a new habitat. My commitment is to making your time away from your animals as smooth as possible for you and them.
“Amy was available at the last minute. She was able to work around her schedule to accommodate my request. She did a great job! My cat warmed up to her, which is no easy feat. I would use her again.”
“Samantha was great with our pup. Took her to the park multiple times to run around, gave us regular updates, and left the house as clean as we left it. Will definitely use her again.”
“Heather and Paul are so wonderful! They genuinely love animals. Caring for my animals seemed to fill their hearts and I was most comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. Heather sent lots of pictures and I came home to happy kitties and a clean house!”
About: I’m equipped to care for all your pets needs and give them love and attention while you’re away! I have experience in cat sitting, dog sitting, Guinea pig/hamster/bird/reptiles etc. I love animals and care for all kinds. I work full-time with a consistent schedule, which allows me to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and affection before and after work, and on my days off I have lots of extra time to spend with them. I’ll always be upfront if I think a pet’s needs are beyond what my schedule can provide. I care for every pet as if they were my own while respecting your home and your routine. I follow your pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and potty breaks, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I keep your home clean, tidy up after your pet, and treat your space with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kealia
Heather and Paul were fantastic, and my dog loved them! They took care of him at my place for a month. They were warm and friendly and responsive in person and via messaging. They sent regular photos of my clearly very happy dog, they responded quickly and effectively to any house issues, and they left the place immaculately tidy and clean. I wondered if my dog might just choose to go with them! I'd give 6 stars if I could, and I'd love to have them back.
Heather & Don were amazing! Our pup gets very anxious and typically cries for DAYS while we’re away. And they made such a good connection with him & took great care of him. He didn’t seem to miss us at all from day one! And we’re so glad. They sent us daily photos & seemed to have an amazing time together. They left the house impeccable. We would gladly refer them to everyone we know!

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 Kealia 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 Kealia 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 Kealia 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.
