“Lawrence did a wonderful job taking care of my big baby while I was away. He arrived promptly on time, and was so caring to keep up my old dog’s routine, and keep her company while she enjoyed her favorite activities! He also gave me plenty of updates with pictures so I never had to worry while I was gone. I came home to a happy pup as well as a clean and cared for house. Looking forward to rebooking with him!”
“Lydia did an amazing job watching Jasmine while I was out of town for a long weekend. She was very responsive and communicated very well. I would definitely let Lydia watch Jasmine again!”
“Nicole stayed overnight with our dog for 4 days/nights, and she was amazing! She sent pictures and updates everyday. She followed all of our requests and rules with our dog and our house. She was a great sitter, and we will absolutely use her again in the future! :)”
“We never were really comfortable with leaving our boys at the clinic while we travel. Kaya made it so easy for us. She is extremely friendly, helpful, kind and informative. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Jessica was wonderful. My dogs were well cared for and my house was well kept. I have one dog that takes a while to warm up to people and just in the matter of one night she already had him cuddling up to her like he does to us. So grateful! We will definitely be booking her in the future!”
“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.”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can truly trust with your pet. When your dog is in my care, I treat them with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, likes, dislikes, and comfort level so they can feel safe and happy while you’re away. Whether that means going on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, having plenty of playtime, or simply giving them extra cuddles and company, I’m happy to adjust to what your pup needs. I’m dependable, attentive, and will keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is being well cared for. 🐾❤️ I’m currently a college student taking all of my classes fully online, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to do my schoolwork from almost anywhere. Because of this, I have plenty of availability throughout the day to give your pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m able to easily work feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins around your pet’s normal routine rather than making them adjust to mine. This flexibility also allows me to spend quality time with your pet and make sure they aren’t left alone for long periods while you’re away. 🐾💕 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand that I’m being trusted with both a beloved family member and someone’s personal space, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and other special needs. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect your pet’s safety. I’ll also respect your home and leave everything clean and secure. Most importantly, I’ll give your pet plenty of patience, affection, and attention while keeping you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. 🐾❤️
“Can’t rave enough about McKenzie! She is punctual, professional, loving and communicative. Potato loves her and we trust that Po is in good hands with her. Thank you so much!”
“Jessica was beyond fantastic! My pups were well taken care of along with the home! Updates were provided and she was quick and responsive to us. We recommend her services!”
“Let me tell you all — hire Amber. Hire her now! From the moment we met her, we knew she was the one we wanted caring for our cat. She is incredibly sweet, kind, and gentle, and you can immediately tell she truly loves animals. Our entire experience felt both professional and warm — the perfect balance. She gave thoughtful, consistent updates and quickly picked up on our cat’s unique traits and behaviors. It was so reassuring to hear her observations and know our girl was not only being cared for, but truly understood. She also kept our home spotless, which meant so much to us. We are admittedly animal fanatics and left way too many instructions — and she handled it all with such ease and grace. Never once did we feel like we were “too much.” She embraced it. We absolutely loved having her as our sitter and would hire her again and again without hesitation. Amber is a gem.”
“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.”
“Tanya was amazing, she stayed with our pups and they seemed to enjoy her company. They were well fed and socialized. Tanya did a great job of keeping us in the loop and easing this fluffy puppy mom. We will absolutely be calling her again.”
“This is 2nd time booking Meagan and she’s proven to be reliable, kind, trustworthy and responsible with our 2 fur babies at our home ❤️ our one, usually aggressive doggie liked her from the first intro 🤗”
About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I enjoy giving pets attention, playtime, exercise, and lots of care. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m currently available and have a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and other pet-care needs. I’ll make sure to give your pets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep their environment clean and secure, and make sure they have fresh food and water. I’ll also provide plenty of attention and playtime.
“Asking Arianna to house sit and care for our dog and two cats was the best decision. She cared for our pets like her own and was very communicative. Arianna helped to relieve my anxiety about being away by answering my questions promptly and with reassuring information. It was obvious from the pictures, videos and the behavior of my pets when we got home that they enjoyed their time with her. We highly recommend Arianna and will be asking for help over and over again.”
About: Hi😊 my name is Kaitlyn. I’ve loved and cared for animals since I was 14, and my home feels happiest with dogs and/or cats in it. I have years of pet-sitting experience with multiple families and am comfortable with all sizes and ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors, including medication needs. You can expect patient, affectionate care, steady routines, walks, and lots of cuddles. Weekly Schedule: • Monday–Friday: Available 3:00 PM–7:30 PM (I work 7:45 AM–2:20 PM; Wednesdays until 3:30/4:00 PM) • Overnight Boarding: Friday & Saturday nights • Weekends (Saturday–Sunday): Available 24/7 for boarding, drop-ins, and walks I build my routine around each dog’s needs with walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. 🥰 Please note: I do not have a crate in my home, so a crate would need to be provided if your dog requires one. In my home, pets are part of the family! I live with my partner, who also grew up with dogs and is very comfortable with animals. Our apartment is safe, with wood floors and two bedrooms, and we are on the second floor with a staircase. We don’t have pets at home, so your dog will get my full attention. We live in a dog-friendly neighborhood with great walking routes!
About: I grew up on a farm and have had dogs of every shape and size my entire life. I have experience with dogs with diabetes and am comfortable giving them their shots. I am willing to drive to any part of the island but I am located in Ewa Beach so please allow grace for traffic if you are townside. Size does not scare me as I was watching over 12 horses daily in Kapolei, my elderly dog requires 4 medications a day so medications are a breeze as I’ve had to learn every trick in the book. *I have an elderly dog and young cat in my home so all animals must pass a flea inspection and have recent vaccines.* I am currently unemployed due to medical conditions not letting me be able to be in large crowds. I can adapt my schedule to you and your animals needs because of this and can be available anytime outside of my appointments and treatment days. I have a larger fenced yard in Ewa Beach, I provide filtered water for all animals and treat any animal in my home as if it were my own. In my house animals are allowed on furniture and beds. I will always leave a space cleaner than found, if I am house sitting/pet sitting I will lightly clean the area. If your animal becomes muddy, or dirty under my care I will wash them. If you don’t want them on furniture I will make sure they do not go on any.
“Our fur babies were handled with a lot of love and affection while she watched them at our place! She made us feel no worries at all while we were away and sent us daily photos and videos. We'll definitely be using her again in future!”

Nicole is such a wonderful and caring person! She always updates with pictures and detail of how my dogs and cat are doing. She pays attention to how they are feeling and gives us peace of mind. Knowing our fur babies are not only well taken care of but given so much love when we are away is such a wonderful feeling. Thank you Nicole!
Hannah is such a wonderful pet sitter! Our animals instantly connected with her, and she was so attentive and caring. She was great about sending daily updates, multiple times a day, and made us feel at ease being away from our fur babies. So thankful we connected!

Jessica was wonderful. My dogs were well cared for and my house was well kept. I have one dog that takes a while to warm up to people and just in the matter of one night she already had him cuddling up to her like he does to us. So grateful! We will definitely be booking her in the future!
We had not tried a house/dog sitter before, and were very lucky to have met Malcolm. Our dog Molly is a little bit rambunctious, and she took to Malcolm immediately. He kept her on her food and exercise routine and sent pictures of her activities to us while we were gone. I felt like the communication was fantastic, Molly was well cared for, and my home was in better condition than when we left. What more could you ask for?
Audrey is so amazing with our boy Puggy!! She always shows up when she can and is communicative, accommodating and so respectful of our home. Shes watched him a few times now has been incredibly reliable. I can’t express how much I’ve appreciated her help keeping Puggy company when life gets busy for us. Her long time experience with animals and grooming is what made me instantly feel comfortable having her watch our boy. I would recommend her 1000x over.
Kaydence was completely reliable and took the best care of our three dogs. She gave us daily updates and provided photos so we can see how are babies are doing from afar. She was punctual and trustworthy... also great with communications. Would not hesitate to use her services again. job well done, thank you Kaydence!!
Katie was absolutely amazing with our pups! She took them to the park and on walks daily to get all their energy out and they absolutely loved her! Should was also amazing with communication and sending lots of photos!! I can't wait to book with her again! 11/10 recommend!!
Shy is exceptional. She goes above and beyond to take care of your beloved family member and I always feel at ease knowing she is taking care of my dog. I would recommend her to anyone that needs dog sitting services above anyone else! She is attentive and thorough. Thank you for watching my boy for the holidays and Merry Christmas!

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 Makakilo 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 Makakilo 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 Makakilo 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
