“Cannot recommend Alexis enough. We had to make a last minute adjustment to our dog sitting plans because of our older dog having an injury, and Alexis was quick to respond to our request. She stayed with Tal at our house and took such good care of her, regularly updating us on how Tal was doing as far as walks, medication, bathroom, etc. Alexis made it possible for us to enjoy our time with family off island; we knew Tal was being taken care of. We are so grateful!!”
“I was beyond pleased with Isabell. The meet and greet was amazing and my dogs were happy around her right away. I could tell it was going to be okay as I was so nervous leaving them for the first time with anyone other than family. She is knowledgeable dealing with different types of dogs and their different behaviors and personalities. I enjoyed the updates and pictures. She always feed them on time and kept to their schedule so they felt comfortable. We did 3 overnights and Isabell left our home exactly the same as we left it and truly respected our space. We will definitely book her again and have confidence we can enjoy our time away knowing the dogs are taken care of.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Makakilo
Lawrence is an absolute lifesaver, and I’m so grateful to have found him! ❤️ He takes such wonderful care of my fur babies, and I always have complete peace of mind whenever they’re with him. I never have to worry about a thing because I know they’re in such good hands. What makes him even more special is how much he genuinely enjoys spending time with my pups. He treats them with so much love and care, and it’s clear that he truly enjoys what he does. He’s also incredibly kind and generous, and I appreciate him more than he knows. Finding someone you can trust completely with your fur babies is priceless, and Lawrence is truly a gem. I can’t recommend him enough! 🐾❤️
Kaitlyn took great care of Brick and Benson while I was away for a few weeks. The pictures and updates made it a lot easier to be away from the boys, and she was patient with them and flexible when my travel dates changed. I came home to a house that looked great and two dogs who had been well cared for. Really grateful for everything she did for us. I’d absolutely book with her again.
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.
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Makakilo is $51 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $67 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 October 2026, there are 1,006 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
