About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats, of every size, since I was 8. My neighbors knew I loved animals and that their pets were in good care. I participated in dog 4-H, was a nationally ranked dog handler, and qualified for Westminster. I’m very familiar with various dog breeds and their specific traits/needs. I also have experience with cats and kittens. I’ve recently retired from teaching and I’m seeking a fulfilling pastime. If you hire me, you can be assured that your pets will feel loved and appreciated. I’m retired from teaching, and very much looking forward to spending more time with animals of all shapes and sizes. I’m available 7 days a week, flexible hours. I don’t plan to board dogs at our home due to concern for my cats, however, if we can verify that the dog won’t chase the cats, I’d be willing to consider. We have a fully fenced yard with large shade trees. I also have separate fenced areas and kennels, as needed. I am able and willing to exercise your dog and/or go for walks. I walked my own dog an average of 3 miles a day, until it became too much for him. Through dog showing and training, I have lots of experience walking dogs.
“Wonderful pet sitter, open communications, great photos of the fur babies, and would highly recommend. Took great care of my senior boys (cats) that require medication and made a trip to scheduled vet visit. Will definitely call on again when needed. Thank you so much!!”
“Lauren was great with our pups! She checked on them frequently and spent a good amount of time with them as well! The house was just as we left it and had no damage. Will definitely use her in the future!”
About: I have been dog and cat sitting since college, taking excellent care of many precious animals. I have experience with puppies and will respect and adhere to your training styles and needs. My goal is to allow your dog to feel as wholly taken care of as it does with you, although you can never replace the connection, you can certainly spark a new one! I currently have full-time availability for pet sitting and care! I just moved to the island and don’t have my weekly flow set up yet so let me find it while making your pet a #1 priority! Our home has a lovely fenced in yard to keep your companion safe and sound from the dangers of roads. We have a small Pom who lives next door in the ohana on the property. She loves to play, but not always around so when we are inside your animal/s can truly make it their own! I love being outside, so if your dog likes fetch this is the right home! If I come to your home, you can expect full respect for your sacred space, as that’s what I expect in mine. I am very type-a and understand how to leave things how they were, and in an appropriate setting I know how, and like, to leave them better.
About: As a teacher and mother, I’m a natural caregiver and there’s nothing I love more than caring for dogs. I have a gift for understanding them and providing the right kind of love and affection. I’ve worked at a vet, helped dog rescues in Korea, and have been a dog sitter since childhood. Our dog Prim lives a splendid life in our new fenced backyard. We brought her to Maui from Korea and have showered her with love. Along the way we’ve watched many buddies for her, always making these dogs feel like part of the family. Let me put your mind at ease, give your dog a safe and loving second home, and provide you with some cute photos too! I am a teacher so I’m usually home by 3 pm and have a lot of holidays off. My husband works four days a week. We’re always home on the weekends and have a great setup when we’re not here so that pets can enjoy both the house and the backyard. My yard is fully fenced in and live on a quiet cul-de-sac. We are very aware of potential dangers and try to always have a plan in case it’s needed. We’re informed on all feeding precautions and exercise care during play and meal time. Both our kids, even our toddler, are careful and kind with all animals. I passed my dog whisperer genes on to them!
“Anela took care of our pups for 3 nights and stayed at our place while we were off island. Both our dogs immediately warmed up to her - she’s definitely got the touch! Anela sent picture updates regularly without having to ask and she left the house in the condition we left it in. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
About: I am an animal lover who has been helping friends and family with sitting their fur babies for years and i want to take my skills to the next level by sitting on rover 🐾 I would love to sit during the week and on weekends. I have a flexible schedule and live an active lifestyle and would love to go on long walks and hikes with your pets or enjoy time cuddling on the couch. I keep a very tidy house so there won’t be much to worry about your pets getting into and I will leave your home better than I found it as well. I live on col de sac so the road is not busy and very good neighborhood for dog walking
“Fantastic care! Kobe loved Gabriel and his partner Bea! They were courteous, kind, and professional in every manner. Gabriel received instructions on how to care for Kobe and administer meds, as well as house instructions and asked great questions, so I knew he understood. I received tons of adorable fur baby phots and communications throughout the stay. Highly recommend and will definitely ask them to care for Kobe again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter who has been dog sitting and boarding for returning clients over the past three years. Caring for dogs has become one of my favorite ways to spend my time, and I love getting to know each pup’s unique personality. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or loves attention, I’m comfortable adapting to their individual needs and routine. I have experience caring for dogs with a variety of temperaments and always prioritize making them feel safe, loved, and at home. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so your dog can expect plenty of walks, playtime, exercise, and affection. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and offer both boarding and house sitting. I also have experience with basic training and reinforcing good habits, so I’ll happily stick to your dog’s routine and any instructions you provide. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your dog has a fun, safe, and loving experience from start to finish. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! I am available to care for your pet everyday of the week. I work as a surf instructor 3 days a week (8am–1pm), which leaves me very flexible and home the majority of the time. On work days, I provide early morning walks and care before I leave, plus afternoon/evening walks and attention when I’m back. On my off days, I’m fully available for plenty of walks, playtime, and company. Your dog will always get a consistent routine, lots of exercise, and plenty of love based on their individual needs. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. My apartment is dog-friendly, clean, cozy, and smoke-free, with easy access to safe outdoor areas for walks, potty breaks, and exercise. I keep my space tidy and calm so pets feel relaxed and at home right away. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect and care as my own.
“Natalie watched our two pups while we were out of town for our wedding. Having a 6 month old puppy as well as a 4 year old dog was no easy feat, but we could not have been happier with their care! While we were busy with wedding events, Natalie was amazing at updating us and sending daily pictures and report cards. We came home to a clean house and happy dogs! Can’t wait to have her back:)”
About: I can care for your pups as well as horses and cats. I have a nice fenced in yard and lots of love to give. I currently work part time, and have a pretty flexible schedule. You can drop off your pet or I can pick them up. Thank you I have an older beagle mix and one cat. I have a nice fenced yard and lots of room for pets to run and play.
“Kiaya is amazing! She was so sweet with our anxious pup, and went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and happy. She was communicative and sent pictures, and made us feel much more comfortable leaving.”
About: I am a dog fanatic, they are very special to me. I have had many dogs growing up of all breeds and sizes. I will love them whole heartedly, I understand how much love and care they need while you're away. I do have a 9 year old who is dog crazy as well, he has lived with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Animals have a very special place in my heart (especially dogs) and I would love to be the one to take care of your special friend. I know the importance of trust with your loved ones. I would like to bring good energy into you and your pets life with a whole lot of love. Mahalo I am flexible, I don't mind traveling around the island to take care of animals. I have been fortunate to work with animals all over Maui for the last 11 years. I am very open to any specific instructions your special friend will need; first timers, allergies, high energy, separation anxiety and any extra care your pet may need
About: Hi! I’m Rae! Ever since my dad handed me my first Boston Terrier when I was a little girl, my heart has belonged to the animals. I was lucky enough to grow up in a household with pets, and as an adult I couldn’t imagine not having pets. I also recognize that even though we wish we could take our furbabies everywhere, it’s just not a reality for a lot of us. So, I’m happy to be able to ease the worry of wanting or needing to travel, work, etc by offering to take care of your babies while you’re away. I’ve also traveled to help take care of pets while they’re pawrents were away, tending to both their pets and home. Currently I have a lot of open availability. I prefer to be able to come to your house as I have two pups and three kitties in my home, and I know a pet is usually more comfortable in their own environment. The less that has to change for pets, the better so they don’t have to experience the stress of a new place or dog boarding. So I’m happy to provide potty breaks, walkies, play time, and in home sitting if needed. With direction from you, I’m happy to follow guidelines that you have set up for your pets in your home from their daily routine, to walks etc.
“Emma was fantastic with Rico! She was great at communicating, always quick to answer questions and respond to messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I had absolutely no worries knowing Rico was in her care. When I got home, the house looked great, and Rico was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I would definitely book with Emma again. Thank you for giving me a worry-free vacation and for taking such wonderful care of my little guy! 🐾💙”
About: I’ve had dogs and other animals in my life since I was a kid. I’ve taken care of and helped raise dogs from the puppy stages to adulthood. I am the type of dog lover who enjoys bringing the pup(s) with me to exercise. But I also love to just chill and love on them! In my home, the pet(s) are allowed inside. We have a fenced-in yard. They cannot sleep on the furniture, including the room/bed. I will respect any wishes you have for your pet, whether that be in my home or yours. I work from home -- so, I can accommodate practically any schedule of care. I am pretty flexible because 90% of my work is done online. I treat your animals and your home as if they were my own, with love, care, and respect. If at any time I feel like I have a question, I won’t hesitate to ask, because the well-being of your animal and home are important.
About: I've been surrounded by animals all of my life, with a wild assortment of pets including dogs, cats, horses, goats, pigeons, an African Grey, hamsters, rats, chickens, and even an iguana! I grew up in the Midwest with parents who were talented breeders and trainers of German Shorthaired Pointers and Vizslas, as well as master gardeners. In my adult life I've lived with dogs, cats, and chickens, though currently have no pets of my own as I travel too much to provide consistent care. I am seeking longer in-home sits (1+ weeks) and am available to chat ahead of booking. I'm a semi-retired professional, and very much appreciating the flexibility therein! I am mainly interested in longer-term, in-home sits, and offer discounts depending on length of stay, number/ages/types of animals, and if use of car is included. The care I provide varies depending on the needs your animals! The flexibility of my schedule allows me to easily adapt to yours, making transition into caring for your pets as seamless as possible.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Kīhei
Courtney was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat, Zora. She came to our home for a consultation before we booked her and we immediately knew she was the one. She has such a calm, kind and caring energy. While we were away for two weeks, Courtney cared for Zora and our home as if they were her own. She sent us thoughtful updates throughout our time away and we could tell that Zora completely trusted her, which meant so much to us, especially because Zora can be very shy. Courtney also went above and beyond by taking care of things around our home, including watering our roses and plants and being very respectful of our vegan household. She left our home beautifully tidy and even cut some roses from the garden and put them in vases for us. Such a thoughtful touch! We can’t thank Courtney enough for the love and care she gave to our precious girl and our home. We felt completely at ease knowing they were both in such wonderful hands. We will absolutely be booking Courtney again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate and thoughtful pet sitter!
Christy and Michael are new to Maui, and initially they were a bit concerned. After meeting with them, we realized the property management expertise they brought, along with their passion and love for animals, would far outweigh any concern about whether they knew the best route to Petco from Kula! And after the 8 days they spent in our home, caring for our 3 pups and the forever home we built and everything in it - we feel like we struck gold, and now we hope and pray our island is good to them as they are to us, and they can be our OG pet folks. Having used multiple others, both here and on the mainland, they were hands-down the best, not just because our home was immaculate when we returned - including a bouquet waiting on the kitchen counter - but because we know within seconds how our 3 dogs were treated and how comfortable they had been from their spirit and energy when we walk in the door. They loved the time with Christy and Michael, and our dogs range from a year-old fireball Golden pup to a 13-year-old cocker who has back issues and requires love and a constant helping hand - otherwise he stresses out, and it would show - trust me, we've seen the other side and have been forced to back off travel plans until now. I write this review reluctantly, as undoubtedly these two will be in demand as they meet new clients - but they deserve our 10-star endorsement, and we'll be booking them as far in advance as possible!
Makana watched our 2 dogs for 3 nights and was the best dog sitter we have ever had. I think our home was left in better condition than how we left it. We had updates daily of the dogs as we preferred and they looked so happy and well taken care of. Makana was extremely thorough in our dog care, routine, and knowledge beforehand and it overall was professional and comforting knowing how serious she treats puppy sitting. We will definitely be reaching out again whenever we need dog care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Kīhei is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $75 per night. 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 167 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Kīhei. 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 Kīhei 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 Kīhei 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 Kīhei 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
