“Christopher was so natural with my pup… they were instant friends and my mind was so much at ease with all the photos and quick stories about what was going on while I was away. Plus, I returned to a pristine house! I highly recommend Christopher.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better house/pet sitter. Birdy stayed in our home with our cats for 2.5 weeks while we were away, and we came back to happy, healthy, well-fed cats. Communication was excellent throughout — she sent regular updates and photos, which put our minds completely at ease being away from our cats for so long. It was clear our cats felt comfortable and cared for the whole time. Coming home to happy, content cats after over two weeks away says it all. I'd trust Birdy with our home and pets again without hesitation, and I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter.”

About: I’m a calm, attentive pet sitter who genuinely enjoys getting to know each dog’s personality and quirks. I’ve mostly cared for dogs through house sitting for friends, and I really enjoy being part of their little world while their people are away. I’m comfortable with the everyday things that keep a dog happy and settled—feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, keeping to their usual routine, and making sure they’re doing well. I’ve also cared for dogs who needed minor wound care, following their owner’s instructions carefully. I tend to be especially good with dogs who appreciate a calm, patient person around. Some want lots of attention and play; some want to follow you from room to room; some are perfectly happy to sleep nearby while you quietly do your thing. I’m happy to meet them where they are. 😊 Since I’m house sitting, I also like giving dogs the comfort of staying in their own familiar environment rather than having their whole routine turned upside down. I’ll keep things clean, follow their normal schedule, and send you photos and updates so you don’t have to wonder what your little creature is up to while you’re away. I currently welcome **small-to-medium-sized dogs** and offer **house sitting only**. I currently work part-time 4 days a week, with 2 of those days being remote, which gives me flexibility and allows me to spend meaningful time with the pets I care for. I offer house sitting care and try to maintain a calm, consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and settled in their own home. I offer house sitting for cat and dog owners and focus on keeping pets comfortable in their normal home environment and routine. I follow feeding schedules carefully, refresh water regularly, and pay attention to behavior, appetite, energy levels, and signs of stress or discomfort. I spend real quality time with the pets I care for — whether that means interactive play, cuddling, brushing, companionship, or simply giving them calm presence and respecting their space. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, especially when their owner is away. In clients’ homes, I’m clean, respectful, and dependable. I take home security seriously, keep communication clear, and send regular updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing while they’re away.

About: I love dogs!!! I’ve been a dog mom to Rocco, my senior rescue, for 5 years now. He is the sweetest, most affectionate, most social baby on the planet :) Being a dog mom has been the greatest joy of my life. We started Rover dog sitting in 2023, and we absolutely LOVE it!!! I’m home most of the day, but nowadays I do check in on other dogs and cats in the neighborhood, I might be gone for 30-60 mins at a time. Otherwise I’m generally here. I do have a senior dog, he is pretty low energy at this point. So if you have a dog that can match his energy, and wants to couch snuggle with us, then this will be a great fit for you! My intention for caring for dogs is peace, harmony, safety, and love :) We take multiple dogs at a time, so if this is comfortable for you then yay! We’re looking to care for calm, quiet, peaceful, properly socialized, leash-trained, and well-behaved dogs :) We prefer dogs above 2 years old :) Drop-off times are between 7:30am and 8pm. Pick-up times are between 8:30am and 10pm. I can also do pickups and drop offs if needed! I am unable to take high energy dogs, dogs who resource guard, and dogs who bark excessively. Thanks for understanding! I know how important it is that your pup feel loved, safe, and comfortable while their parents are away. I am ready and able to give that to them. I also have a small, fenced-in backyard. Rocco and I walk twice a day so I’ll be sure to bring your dog with us! Beyond that though, we are a pretty low energy house :) I am a big believer in healing our pet’s trauma and anxiety so that they can feel better and relax. I can help them release trapped emotions and other energies using a technique called The Body Code. It is a holistic approach to healing that treats root causes. There are no side effects and it is completely safe. If you’re interested in energy healing for your baby, message me for more information.

Izzie was great with our two pretty high energy dogs! Our puppy especially is not an easy case but she did wonderfully even keeping up his training and teaching him better manners. She was responsive and left the house in great condition. Would certainly have her watch the pups again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Leilani Estates

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Leilani Estates is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $59 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 76 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Leilani Estates. 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 Leilani Estates 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 Leilani Estates 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 Leilani Estates 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 Leilani Estates. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
