“Very very happy with Bridget. She really took the time to learn the situation of my dog, he just lost his sister/litter mate and had been really down. She did amazing with him and I know he was treated very well because when I got home he was so mellow and looked so comfortable. Thank you so much Bridget, truly appreciate you.”
“Emma took the best care of our babies. We arrived home to our house with a happy old pup and lazy cat. She catered to their every need and left everything just as she found it. We had to add last minute medication to be given to our older dog and Emma took care of his meds and supplements with ease. She spoiled our little dog while we were gone and it was so nice for him to get to stay in his own home while we were gone. We will definitely be using Emma again when we have to be away without the pets.”
“Richard was great with Moosey! Fast communicator. Sent pics and videos. Super respectful and left my place clean. Moosey loved him. Definitely would recommend and would book again for my future trips.”
“Lex was amazing! Seriously the best pet sitter we’ve had to date. She was great with my pups and kitty while we were out of town. Consistent photos, updates, and she really went above and beyond. We felt so at ease having her at our house. She left the house cleaner then we left it and I know our animals were in the best hands. Thank you Lex! ❤️”
About: I have grown up with dogs and had them in and out of my life. I am pretty experienced with young puppies and adult dogs. Although I am not experienced with senior care or giving medication. I am currently a part time college student that will be taking classes online. I have an incredibly flexible schedule. I will do my best to work with so that it works out for everyone. I cannot board any animals in my home however I would be happy to spend the night with your furry family members in your home. I take pet safety very serious and I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own pet. I’ll also follow any instructions, rules and dietary needs that you have for your pet. Further more I won’t leave your pet unsupervised unless in a safe or secure place and with your knowledge and permission.
About: I've taken care of animals of all kinds since I was 9 years old. I grew up on a farm with several dogs and have had dogs of my own my whole life. I currently have a 4 year old golden retriever of my own. I have a deep love and admiration for dogs and love spending time with all furry friends! I work full time remotely from 6 am until 1pm but I am able to take breaks and walk/care for animals during the morning if needed. I will adhere strictly to all the rules you give me about caring for your dog in your home. Your home and your dogs safety and comfortability is number one priority.
“Kenzie was amazing! She gave us daily updates and pictures of our girl, Cleo, and was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire booking processes. Kenzie offered to meet with us twice prior to our trip to ease our nerves and build a bond with Cleo. Kenzie was very respectful of our home while house sitting and we are so thankful for her. We will definitely book again with Kenzie again in the future!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and have lots of experience taking of care and providing a safe and happy experience for them. My last fur baby was 18 year old silky terrier and still miss him so not ready emotionally for my own but do enjoy caring for and being around others fur babies. I would appreciate and enjoy taking care of your doggies in my home as I did my own. I work from home remotely but have a flexible schedule, normally evening ours I’m online but will still be in living area with dog(s). I will be available to sit with, walk or play in yard/home throughout day and take care of any needs of dog(s). I have a larger home with fenced in yard, grass for playtime and potty. I also would enjoy and can provide walks with your dog(s) if desired. Also if dog(s) enjoys fetch and outdoors, my backyard has high rock fenced area that is safe for roaming and playing. Interior is spacious and centrally air cooled so very comfortable during warmer days and cozy safe living area.
“Riley was excellent with Lida for the week I was out of town. She is warm, friendly, genuinely loves animals, and paid close attention to the type of care Lida needed. When Lida’s separation anxiety kicked in, Riley was patient with her and communicated with me to work through various solutions. She never got frustrated with Lida, she didn’t give up, and it paid off. It’s not always easy to earn the trust of my anxious, high energy Staffy, but she loves Riley! While I didn’t ask Riley to do anything around the house during her stay other than take care of her own dishes, she took great care of the house, watching for packages and even going so far as to wipe down the sink and make the bed up exactly as it was before I left. Riley is a lovely person and I would trust her with my home and beloved pup anytime.”
“We could not be happier with our experience. She stayed at our home for seven days (over the holidays!!!) and truly went above and beyond in every way. Our dog was clearly so happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. On top of excellent pet care, she also took amazing care of our home. She took out the trash, started the laundry before she left, and left everything spotless. It was such a thoughtful touch and far more than we ever expected. It is rare to find someone so trustworthy, communicative, attentive, and genuinely caring. We would absolutely book her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet and house sitting care.”
About: I’d love to know anything that will help me make your pet feel as comfortable as possible! Let me know about their normal routine, personality, favorite things, any special needs, or behaviors I should be aware of. Every pet is different, and I’m more than happy to adjust to what works best for them. My schedule is pretty flexible! I work occasionally, but my hours change from week to week, so I’m usually able to move things around to fit your dog’s needs. I’m available most days and can be flexible with walks, drop-ins, or spending extra time with your pup. I always try to care for someone’s pet the way I’d want mine to be cared for. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while also sticking to their normal routine and any instructions you leave. I know it can be stressful trusting someone new with your pet, so I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know they’re happy and in good hands.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for 8 years! I have fostered kittens for over a year and have frequently repeating clients because of my care! I work part time throughout the week and have a pretty flexible schedule. I work nearby and can easily check in during the day and have frequent breaks! I offer both boarding in my home and care in your home, depending on what is best for your pet. My home is warm, pet-friendly, and shared with 3 other people who also love animals so your pet will get plenty of attention and affection.
About: I’ve always loved taking care of animals ever since I was little! I’m currently studying in college to be able to work with animals in the future! Dogs and cats have always been a part of my family! I’ve had experience with taking care of my friends and family’s pets and can be relied on for all the tasks that come with them! I have a very flexible schedule as I currently take courses online and I am free to take care of your pet during the week or weekends! I have a fenced backyard where your furry pet can roam around freely! My neighborhood also has a lot of grass areas and parks for walking your pet. I also have a doggie that is great company, and very adaptable with any types of pets!
“Sam was attentive, flexible, communicative, and most importantly great with the dogs! Our pups can be a handful, and she did such an amazing job with them. Not once during our time away did I have to worry about them, because I knew they were being cared for so well. Would highly recommend Sam to anyone in need of dog care, and we’ll definitely be using her in the future!”
About: As owner of Doggie Paddles for nearly 25 years,I'm confident regarding my ability to anticipate the needs of both pets and their owners. This doesn't mean I dont take a huge amount of notes from everything about your dogs health to the location of your breaker box. I've cared for every size dog from teacup to giant. Some impeccably trained, others not so much and have loved them all equally. I currently work from 830 am to 330 pm in an office in Temple Valley Monday through Friday. For cats, this shouldn't affect their care. For dogs it means I'd be leaving Kaneohe for your home to complete the mid-day visit. This isn't an issue as long as I know it's expected. I'm a non-smoker and rarely cook in an owners kitchen. Privacy/security is important to me. I'm off the grid as far as socials go and ask who knows your off island and what cars should be in your driveway.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Makaha Valley
Sarge isn’t always the easiest. He can be a grouchy old man and is very particular about who he likes. He loved Madison from day 1, which obviously put us at ease immediately. Madison didn’t only take phenomenal care of Sarge, she took wonderful care of our home. She is welcome back anytime and we will definitely be booking her in the future. Thank you so much Madison!

The average cost of House Sitting in Makaha Valley is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $64 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.

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 Makaha Valley 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 Makaha Valley 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 Makaha Valley 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.
