About: Hello! I can offer house sitting, boarding, drop in visits, and walking for cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I have worked closely with a veterinarian and a vet tech and have certifications in animal behavior and training. I have taken care of many cats and dogs throughout my years and have fostered kittens as well. I sincerely love all animals and hope to provide all necessary care and attention to yours and will make sure to treat them as if they were my own. I will make sure to communicate with you and keep you updated about your pet and make sure that they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times. I hope you choose me to take care of your beloved pets as it would be a wonderful privilege and experience. Sincerely, Sophia Pearce I have a flexible schedule, especially in the evenings. My shifts are typically finished between 12pm-3pm, and I have Thursdays and Fridays off. However, this can change as I’m in the tourism industry. I have training in safety and animal behavior and will take care of them as if they were my own pets and communicate any issues if necessary.
“Lauren was great watching our 2 large dogs while we were out of town. They get excited sometime last and can be a lot to handle, but they loved playing with her and she was able to walk them.”
About: I grew up surrounded by pets. I have formed a special connection with animals over these years and my only problem will be saying goodbye to your pet when it's time for me to go home. I'm responsible, dependable and can adapt to the needs of any pet! I have a very flexible schedule and can leave work at any time! Just tell me how often your pet needs me and I'll be there! I start by building trust with your pet. Once I feel I've created a bond with your pet I gauge whether it's time to play, go on a walk or get them a form of exercise. When I'm home with your pet I make sure to keep the energy relaxed and positive.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Koloa
We were lucky enough to have Diana sit with our dogs (3) for 11 days while we were in Alaska. We just recently and suddenly moved to Kauai and had no idea what to do for dog care after having made this trip with friends a year ago. We looked through many profiles on Rover, spoke with some friends on island and went to check out the board and care facilities recommended to us. Nothing seemed right for us and we were almost to a point of canceling our trip. Then Diana’s profile showed up and she was immediately responsive to my concerns for our 3 high needs fur babies. I besides have a 5 star rating, Dog CPR training and several References, I called each one and received glowing feedback on the care Diana gave to their pets. Diana knew I was anxious about being so far away and was communicative daily, sending a multitude of pictures and videos. She let me know when she arrived at the house and let me know when she left. My babies took and instant liking to her gentle approach and slept each night with her in the bed. She even let me know the weather conditions for Lala and Moke as that was one more worry I had. I highly recommend Diana to pet care services. It’s hard to imagine you could find anyone else more kind and loving to our pets as she was. AND….as an added caveat, we came home to a spotless house!!!! We love you Diana and our babies can’t wait to see you again!!!!’ ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Koloa 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 Koloa 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 Koloa 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
