“This was Tanya’s first visit, so she is new to us. One of my dogs is special needs and she did a great job. All three K-9s are looking forward to more visits from auntie Tanya.”

“Whitney is great! We have booked her for walks and drop ins many times. Our dogs love their time with Whitney and we will continue to use her services! Highly recommended!”

“A big Thank you to Ariel. She is not only patient but knowledgeable and responsible. She did a great job taking care of Astro and taught both him and I that walking doesn’t have to be such a chore. If i’m out of town I refuse to book with anyone else if she’s available.”
“I was very nervous about leaving my two boys with a new sitter but Kayla was exceptional. She sent us daily updates and photos throughout our trip. The boys were very comfortable and the experience let my husband and I enjoy our vacay in Japan more. We highly recommend her and would use her again in the future.”


“She was amazing! Even brought in our packages by the back door. Very thorough and considerate. I would definitely use her again and would trust her with my furry family member. We are very pleased with Rover and Gracie.”

“Yasmeen did an excellent job with my cat while I was away. She kept me well informed of how she was doing with pictures, and updates everyday. She even accepted a booking for an extra day, when I realized I had misbooked my dates. I will definitely try to use her for future needs.”

About: Aloha! Welcome to my Rover profile! 🐾 Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was just 7 years old, and my love for them has only grown over the years. My passion for animal care led me to become a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT), allowing me to turn my love for animals into a career. As a proud pet parent to two dogs and a previous cat owner, I understand that pets are more than just animals — they’re family! My veterinary background has given me valuable experience caring for animals and understanding their needs, health, and well-being. I strive to provide every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m reliable, positive, detail-oriented, and hardworking, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your beloved companions. I will respect your instructions, follow your pet’s routine, and do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities. I would be honored to care for your furry family members and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. Mahalo for considering me to care for your precious fur babies! I look forward to meeting you and your pets! ❤️🐶🐱 Daily Walks & Exercise 🐕 I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise and opportunities to go outside throughout the day. Walks are typically provided three times a day, with additional walks available upon request. On my workdays, I walk the dogs before and after work, while my significant other helps by taking them for an afternoon walk. I am consistently off on weekends. I’m also happy to accommodate your dog’s usual walking schedule and specific needs whenever possible! A Comfortable Home Away From Home 🏡🐶 I live in a two bedroom apartment, where your pups will have a comfortable, welcoming space to relax and feel at home. They’ll be able to roam freely downstairs and are welcome to snuggle up on the couch. I want every pup in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, just like they would at home. My goal is to make their stay as stress free and enjoyable as possible while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands. ❤️
“We’re very grateful for Kaelyn. She was able to rescue us by agreeing to care for our cats for two whole weeks with very short notice! Kaelyn is a great communicator and did an excellent job not only taking care of the cats, but also taking care of the house and handling some unexpected issues. Kaelyn went beyond what was expected of her and we strongly recommend her as a reliable animal caretaker!”


“Has been such a great help to my fur babies, they love her. Takes her time and cares for the pups like her own. Very informative and will leave notes/updates. thank you Lydia for everything!”

About: Hi! I’m Ava, and I’d love to help take care of your pets while you’re away or busy. I’m dependable, active, and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet and your home and will do everything I can to make you and your pet feel comfortable. I’m especially happy to provide dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention and affection. I enjoy being outdoors and would love to give your dog a fun, energetic walk rather than simply letting them out. Every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, leash preferences, and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable. I’m currently available for house visits or walks on the weekends — I am happy to do as many or few visits per day as needed. I will gladly follow your routines while you’re away to provide your pet with the most consistent care possible. Tell me what you/your pet are comfortable with and I’ll do my best to align.
About: I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets (cats), including feeding, daily care, mild grooming, and nail trimming. As a veterinary technician student, I’ve also gained valuable animal handling and care experience through my studies and one year of internship experience at an animal hospital. My background has helped me develop patience, attentiveness, and an understanding of how important it is to recognize an animal’s individual needs. While most of my personal pet care experience has been with cats, I’m excited to extend that same level of care, compassion, and responsibility to dogs. I understand that every pet has their own personality and comfort level, and I’ll always prioritize their safety and well-being! I’m currently working part-time so I am available for the most part. Weekdays between 8a-1pm and pretty free on the weekends after 4pm. I am flexible so please don’t hesitate to reach out regarding scheduling concerns. As a longtime pet owner and veterinary technician student with animal hospital experience, I understand the importance of creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. In my home, I prioritize proper hygiene, fresh food and water, a clean litter area, and plenty of attention while respecting each pet’s boundaries and personality. When caring for clients’ pets, I follow their routines and instructions closely to help minimize stress and maintain consistency. I understand that cats especially can be sensitive to unfamiliar people and environments, so I always approach them with patience and allow them to adjust at their own pace. I’m happy to accommodate individual feeding schedules, playtime, grooming needs within my experience, and other care instructions to help pet parents feel confident that their fur babies are in caring, responsible hands.
“Stacey was so great taking care of our two kitties and watching over our home while we were away. She is just so wonderful and thoughtful and our cats love her! Always keeping us up to date on their daily activities and they got plenty of scratches and love from Stacey while we were away. She’s just the best!!”

Most of the time I will be free. Saving up for bills and also trips coming up. I will care for your pets by making sure the rules that are set for them are always followed. Making sure to adhere to them and show love to your pets.
About: ▪️I know firsthand that dogs aren't just pets—they are cherished members of the family who make our lives infinitely brighter. When your dog is with me, they’ll be loved, pampered, and cared for as if they were my very own! ▪️I have extensive experience watching dogs for friends and family across all stages of life, from energetic puppies who need consistent routine to sweet senior dogs who require gentle care and extra patience. ▪️I’m comfortable handling dogs of all shapes and sizes—whether it's a tiny Chihuahua, a cheeky Scottish Terrier, a playful Boxer, or managing a pack of up to 5 large dogs at once! ▪️Feeding quirks, medication routines, or unique habits? Nothing is too strange— I’m always happy to accommodate your dog’s specific needs to keep them comfortable and happy. ▪️Plus, with my super flexible schedule, I’m readily available for daily walks, quick check-ins, or mid-day play sessions whenever your busy calendar demands. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! ▪️Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily life as an active remote worker. I start every morning with an early workout and love staying active throughout the day, which means your dog gets guaranteed, high-quality outdoor time before the summer heat sets in! ▪️Because I work from home, my schedule is extremely flexible. Whether your dog needs a mid-day bathroom break, an afternoon walk to help me hit my step goal, or just a quiet companion by my desk while I work, I’m around to give them the continuous care and attention they need. ▪️When staying in or visiting your home, my top priority is maintaining your pet’s familiar routine so they feel safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. ▪️I will follow your exact instructions for feeding, medication, walk schedules, and bedtime routines down to the detail.

About: Hi! My name is Marcela C. and I am 23 years old. I just graduated from Boston College and am working as a marine animal rescue technician! I love dogs and cats and am dedicated to caring for all animals. I have been horseback riding for 11 years so I am equipped to handle all types of situations and am not afraid of big dogs. I also have experience with rescued kittens and dogs as I have volunteered at cat shelters, and marine mammal rehab centers as well as caring for family and friend’s dogs. I worked as a veterinary technician last year so am equipped to handle all of your animals needs! Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and Rover is a great way to build my experience. I would love to meet the dog or cat you call family! :) I love spending time with animals, so I love to be able to dog sit and walk around my class and work schedule! Message me for my schedule! I try my best to take care of animals in a similar manner that their owners do. This allows the pet to feel comfortable and happy even with a stranger in their house!
About: Hi! I have experience caring for dogs of all kind, with a big focus on large breed dogs including Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, and Dobermans. I grew up with 4 Labradors and now have 3 of my own. I’ve raised a number of litters as well. I have a soft spot for the retrievers and Dobermans. I foster smaller dogs occasionally from HHS as well. My dogs are great with others! We have small children in the home, so take that into consideration when requesting boarding if your pet has no experience with children. I am FearFree certified. I work from home, so your pet would never be left alone for long periods of time while in my care for day time or overnight boarding. I would require a temperament check in person before offering boarding for multiple days in my home to ensure lack of aggression. I offer drop in care in your home and waste cleanup as well. Basic baths (wash only, no grooming, trims, or nail clippings) are offered both in my home and yours as well. Please inquire when booking. I have no experience with cats so I cannot offer cat care at this time. Please take note of the following: all dogs must be up to date on vaccinations and flea/heartworm preventative. Proof is not required, but if your dog appears to have fleas or is ill, pickup will be required immediately. I do not offer doggy daycare or boarding for dogs with active diarrhea. If your dog has diarrhea and you did not disclose this during booking, I will require immediate pickup and a sanitation fee of $100 will apply. I offer doggy daycare or boarding for dogs or puppies that are not potty trained (potty trained = holds poop/pee until outside) on a case by case basis. Additional fees apply. If your dog or puppy is not potty trained and you did not disclose this during booking, I will require immediate pickup and a sanitation fee of $100 will apply. Note: the use of puppy pads is considered not potty trained. Please let me know if you have additional questions or requests. Thank you. I work from home, so I am available all times. Your pets will get lots of attention and play time while homing with me. Drop ins to your home will get plenty of love and play as well! I keep my pets inside the house with me and go outside for bathroom and open play time! We love fetch around here, and the dogs love chasing one another. Caring for pets in your home would 100% follow your requests and instruction!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Makakilo
We don’t even know where to begin… somehow we left her the wrong key …. She’s a hero …. She saved the day when thankfully it fit another door after she was able to get to it. This woman is a hero… didn’t panic ( I kinda was..lol) … my groom n I thought she would have to break a window … but no. She’s a hero. We had to leave for a death in the family. We were already stressed and then the whole key issue. Marissa went above and beyond she took such great care of Patch … he was comfortable, clean, happy she gave him love obviously food. He was so well taken care of. We will highly recommend her to everyone and use her in the future. Mahalo to Melissa she’s a gem!!!💎 ♥️🌺🌈🤙🏽😘

I was very nervous about leaving my two boys with a new sitter but Kayla was exceptional. She sent us daily updates and photos throughout our trip. The boys were very comfortable and the experience let my husband and I enjoy our vacay in Japan more. We highly recommend her and would use her again in the future.

Kelly is absolutely wonderful! She is very kind and caring, and truly loves dogs. Ours were very well taken care of - couldn't ask for more. She went above and beyond, and we feel very blessed to have had her help us. We'd gladly give her ten stars, if that were possible. Thank you so much, Kelly!

I had a great experience with Jocelyn! I made a last-minute booking, and she was so accommodating and willing to help me on short notice despite my dog being not friendly and agressive. She took great care of my dog and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind while i was out of state. I appreciate her kindness and excellent care.I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

We felt so comfortable leaving our dogs with Tiffany. She was punctual, attentive, and gave them all the love and attention they needed while we were away. We came home to happy pups, fresh water, and poop scooped. It was such a relief knowing our fur babies were in good hands!! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! 🐾
I was sad to leave my senior kitty for a few days, but I felt completely confident he'd be in good hands with Kaelyn! I'm so grateful for the care she provided while I was gone. She really takes the time to make sure your pet is comfortable and happy. If I ever need a sitter again I'd love for Kaelyn to visit again. Thank you so much!!

Lawrence is absolutely amazing! We’ve trusted him with our pets twice now, and he’ll continue to be our first choice whenever we need a sitter. Our babies adore him, and we always feel completely at ease knowing they’re in such caring, capable hands. He keeps us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. We highly recommend Lawrence to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely wonderful pet sitter!

McKenzie was able to help us out on very short notice due to our cat needing to be on antibiotics just two days before our trip out of state. She went above and beyond in making sure our cat was given her daily meds and had excellent communication with us the entire week. We are so appreciative of McKenzie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Makakilo is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $29 per visit. 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 1,470 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Makakilo. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Makakilo. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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.
