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.

“Ashley is extremely friendly, professional, and respectful. This was my first time using Rover, but I could not have picked a better person to watch our dog! She shared pictures with us and she is even working on her certification for dog training, which shows her passion for dogs! I would highly recommend Ashley to any future dog owners.”

“I could write a novel about how amazing she is. But I'll keep it short. Daily updates, and I know my babies were loved and snuggled the way their parents do. So happy to know I now have someone that will take care of them whenever they have to stay home while we leave ♡♡♡”

About: Aloha! I'm Bethany, and animals have been at the heart of my life and work for the past 5 years. 🐾 I have 5 years of professional experience working in animal welfare, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Through my work, I've had the privilege of helping thousands of animals—from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets, shy animals, and those needing extra patience and understanding. My experience has taught me how to recognize animal body language, provide compassionate care, maintain routines, and help pets feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence nearby, I will tailor my care to their individual needs. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your furry family members. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. As a lifelong animal lover living on Kauaʻi, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged ‘ohana members! 🐾 PREMIUM DOG WALKING & ENRICHMENT ON KAUAʻI MORE THAN A WALK. A LITTLE ADVENTURE FOR YOUR DOG. Your dog deserves more than a quick potty break. I offer one-on-one, enrichment-focused dog walks designed to give your pup meaningful exercise, mental stimulation, and positive experiences while you're away. $35 PER ONE-ON-ONE WALK Every walk is tailored to your individual dog's needs and may include: • Sniffing & sensory enrichment • Mental stimulation & exploration • Positive-reinforcement training • Calm leash practice • Confidence building • Decompression at your dog's pace • Personalized attention & plenty of aloha WHY ME? I bring 5+ years of professional animal welfare experience and hands-on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of breeds, ages, personalities, temperaments, and behavioral needs. My approach is Fear Free, enrichment-based, and positive reinforcement-focused. I believe dogs communicate with us constantly through their body language, and understanding that communication is an important part of providing safe, respectful care. Whether your dog is energetic and adventurous, needs help building confidence, gets easily overstimulated, or simply loves having an extra adventure during the day, I'll meet them where they are. AVAILABLE 7 DAYS A WEEK I am currently accepting a limited number of recurring walking clients. Keeping my client list small allows me to give each dog the individualized attention they deserve. $35 | One-on-one enrichment walk 📍 Kauaʻi - East, South and West Side Interested in setting up a recurring walking schedule for your pup? Send me a message and let's talk about your dog's needs! Professional animal care experience • Fear Free handling • Positive reinforcement • Enrichment-focused care I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week. I understand that pets thrive on routine, and I do my best to accommodate their normal feeding, exercise, and enrichment schedules to help them feel comfortable while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and wellbeing are my highest priorities. With 5 years of professional animal welfare experience, I understand the importance of proper animal handling, recognizing body language, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, routine, and needs so I can provide individualized care and ensure they feel safe and secure while you're away. I believe communication is key, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, just as I would my own pets. I am attentive to home security, follow all owner instructions carefully, double-check gates, doors, harnesses, and leashes, and prioritize safety during walks and visits.

About: YOUR PAWS ARE IN GOOD HANDS WITH US :) :) Solution oriented, highly experienced with canines, and have a heart for helping people, and caring for animals...look no further. My wife Susie & I are originally from Missouri, and are high school sweethearts. We have lived on Kauai for 9 years, and are passionate in every way about dogs! We owned & operated a very successful in-home dog boarding business in Homer, Alaska for 3 years, where we averaged 6 dogs per day, and had almost 30 dogs staying with us on major holidays in our large 3-story home on five acres. We offered board & train services there as well. Besides boarding experience with all ages, breeds, and personalities, we have experience with training, breeding, volunteer vet work, canine healthcare, and have also served as dog handlers for an Iditarod sled dog team. Boarding with us: We have a wonderful home at the base of sleeping giant in the Wailua Homesteads in Kapaa. If your dog loves hiking, we certainly can fulfill that desire! We have cool tile flooring, and air conditioning for those hot Summer days, so there are no overheating concerns in our home. We have dog beds, human beds, and couches- all of which dogs are welcome on (we allow dogs to sleep with us too). We have a large backyard, and an enclosed back deck. We do not isolate our guests- they have complete freedom inside our home. When we go on walks, hikes, or trips- we utilize a leash for safety. We are not your average Rover sitters. We have such a great deal of experience, we know canine behavior, how to identify & treat health issues, how to adapt to every unique dog and their needs, and we care about our human customers just as much- acknowledging your specific needs & requests is very important to us, and we always maintain excellent communication. We are accustomed to some dog parents being hesitant and reluctant to leave their loved ones for a time, and we offer our support, reassurance, and patience with customers during that time, wether it be answering numerous questions, an extended delay to leave at drop-off, or several calls/texts requesting photos/updates- we're here for you, and completely understand. Feel free to reach out to us as often as you'd like while your dog(s) are with us to request updates/pics, otherwise we typically give you your space. We can pick-up and/or deliver your dog(s) to ANY location you’d like, just let us know (additional charges apply). Always stay in good communication with us regarding drop-off & pick-up days & times. Never arrive unannounced…we need notice before you are coming over (this is our home- not a commercial boarding facility with staff). What to bring at drop-off:  
1. Food- enough for the length of your dog's stay with us. Sealed containers with kibble are preferred. We do not store guest dog food in our fridge, so please bring appropriate food (no frozen, cooked, or raw foods that need stored in our fridge or freezer). 
2. Collar (or harness) & leash. ***Dogs must be kept on leash during drop-off & pick-up*** Please do not let them exit your vehicle upon arrival unless they are leashed. Same goes for pick-up...keep them on lead from our door to your vehicle please. Dogs that we DO NOT accept into our home for boarding (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY): 1. Aggressive dogs (aggressive towards humans or other dogs) 2. Dogs that have fleas 3. Intact males 4. Intact females during their heat cycle 5. Dogs that have extreme separation anxiety 6. Dogs that have accidents inside or not fully potty-trained (or mark inside) 7. Excessive barkers 8. Escape artists 9. Dogs that are destructive when left home alone House sitting: We offer premium house sitting services island-wide. We do require to meet with you first at your property to make sure it's a good fit, as we are very selective on where we stay, and who we're working with for live-in house sitting jobs. We're experienced home owners ourselves. Besides estate caretakers, we have been entrusted with the care and management of farms- both vegetable & orchard farms, & also livestock farms. We have personally owned dairy cows ourselves, and also have experience caring for horses, llamas, alpacas, sheep, goats & chickens. We are excellent with property management! Between Susie & myself, we also have experience with carpentry, electrical, plumbing, painting, power washing, house cleaning using natural non-toxic cleaning products, landscaping/lawn care, & tree pruning/hazardous tree removal. We are very well connected here on Kauai, and anything we don't know or can't handle ourselves- we know someone who can. We are caretakers at heart, and caring for animals is what we do best. We are the trustworthy family you have been looking for! We LOVE our job! We do not isolate dogs (unless owner requests us to), or it is absolutely necessary (we usually don't accept dogs for most of the reasons they may need to be isolated anyways). We treat them like they are part of our family (and they truly are while with us). The way we care for dogs varies specifically on a case by case basis. No two dogs, or owners, are the same, so we go with the flow (and requests/requirements/best interests) of the dogs & their owners wishes.

About: I will love on them as if they were my own. I've had many years of experience with all types of dogs. From big to small. I have taken care of senior dogs and puppies. I am patient and easy going. I will talk to your fur baby, give lots of pets, cuddle if they want, and play with them. I am currently between jobs. So I have plenty of time for your fur babies. My car is even pet friendly if they need to be transported for whatever reason. I don't own my home, I'm only renting. So I could only have pets over for short periods. But there is a fence around the entire property (a quarter acre), and they would be able to run around freely.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11. I love to take them on long walks, trips to the park, and out for a “pup-cup”. Recently my 14 year old golden retriever passed away, so I’m hoping to share my love with others’ pets that are in need of care! I’m currently working remotely full-time so would plan to work from your home while I’m watching your furry ones. This is an ideal solution as your pet is guaranteed focused attention and multiple bathroom breaks or walks per day. I treat every pet as if they’re my own. I love to make sure their needs are met & exceeded, plenty of pets/love are given, and that we send picture updates while you’re away! I am quiet & respectful and love to keep spaces clean, so I will treat your home as my own.

Carla is top notch at taking care of my French Bulldog Mitch! He didn’t even seem to miss me. Which is a great thing for me. Carla asked a lot of important questions and took amazing care of our home. I will definitely have her take care of Mitch again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Koloa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Koloa is $72 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $100 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 November 2026, there are 62 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Koloa. 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 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.

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 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 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.

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

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
