“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! :)”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“I’ve never hired a stranger to stay in my house while I was away, so I was nervous, but Tana agreed to a meet and greet beforehand and after meeting her, I felt totally comfortable leaving the responsibility of our pets and home in her hands. She sent me pics of my dog throughout her stay and took great care of our home. I hope she enjoyed the job and agrees to come back!”
“Liz is phenomenal! Great connection with our little Lola who absolutely adores her! Very good at communicating how things are going and sending photos daily❤️. Liz also leaves the house spotless. We couldn’t be happier with Liz!”
“Lawrence and Janice is so friendly. Nala fit in well with their Dog Dijou. He kept us updated on any concerns or questions. My boys was so comfortable leaving their baby with them. Definitely going to use them again and I recommend them highly to others who are looking for trusting people to care for their pets!”
“Alexis was so great with my dog! She sent pictures and gave updates while I was away. She even bought my pup a doggy cupcake! I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a dogsitter!”
“The best!! She treated our pups like her own. Lots of updates and very cute pictures. This was my first time using rover for pet care so I was a bit worried but the dogs felt comfortable with Yasmeen right away! Got a rover and pup photoshoot all in one.”
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!
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Veronica was an absolute dream to work with! Our older pups started experiencing some random symptoms about a week before our trip to Japan and we contemplated cancelling the whole trip but Veronica gave us so much comfort and reassurance which also gave us peace of mind. We were in communication every day and she also sent pics/videos which was so calming for us. Normally we don't worry as much but our dogs are 16 and 13 years old but Veronica was very understanding and we cannot wait to work with her again. Thank you!”
“Meagan is great, communicates well, is flexible and most of all, she cares for our fur babies with lots of love and respect. It’s can be stressful when letting someone stay in your home but Meagan has been a joy 🤩”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alondra! She stayed at our home for the weekend to take care of our dog, Molly, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, Alondra was accommodating and professional. She came by ahead of time to meet us, get instructions, and pick up the keys, which helped us feel confident that everything would go smoothly. While we were away, she sent us daily updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing Molly was happy and well cared for. When we returned home, Molly was her happy self, and it was clear she had received plenty of love and attention. The house was also spotless—you honestly couldn't tell anyone had been there except for our happy pup waiting to greet us! What really stood out about Alondra was her genuine, warm spirit. She is kind, friendly, and easy to communicate with while also being dependable and professional. It's never easy to leave our sweet girl behind, but knowing Molly was in such caring hands made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip. We would absolutely book with Alondra again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other folks looking for a sitter. Thank you, Alondra, for taking such great care of Molly and our home! We appreciate you.”
“Anastasia is the best 🥹 My doggy fell in love with her the second she laid eyes on her. She left our place looking the same as it looked when we left and she sent us tons of pics with updates. I will definitely be using her again ❤️”
“Stephanie was wonderful and made it so we didn’t have to worry about a thing while we were gone. I think she left our house cleaner than when she got here. She was very communicative and sent pictures daily. We really appreciated her watching our dog and cat!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Makakilo
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!
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.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Makakilo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Makakilo on Rover is $51.17 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,022 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Makakilo. 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 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.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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.
