“I was in a bind with finding a sitter for my dog before I could get her flown to me in another state and Steven helped me out so much! He was great with my dog and I know she enjoyed having him watch her. I got sent so many great pictures and he went above and beyond not just for my dog Scout, but for me as well. He is professional, trustworthy, hard working, and you can tell he truly cares about the animals he watches. I can’t thank you enough 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’ve been around dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am! I’m currently a proud dog mom to Coconut and Emmy, who have given me firsthand experience with everything that goes into keeping dogs happy, healthy, and loved. What sets me apart is that I genuinely treat every dog like my own. I understand that every pup has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable and safe. Whether your dog loves long walks, endless playtime, or just curling up for some cuddles, I’m happy to adjust to what makes them happiest! I’m patient, attentive, and committed to giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life! As a dog mom to Coconut and Emmy, I’m used to planning my days around feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure my pups get plenty of love and attention. I recently stepped away from my full-time job, so I now have a much more flexible schedule and can dedicate more time to caring for pets. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m happy to work with pet parents to maintain their pets’ usual routines. My goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I understand that every dog has their own personality, preferences, and routine, so I do my best to make their stay feel like a home away from home. I live in a two-story home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor playtime and fresh air. I also have two friendly dogs of my own, Coconut and Emmy, who do best when introduced to new friends in a neutral environment. Before boarding, I like to arrange a meet-and-greet at the park near my home to make sure everyone is comfortable together. My home also has multiple bedrooms, allowing me to give dogs their own space whenever needed. If a boarding pup needs to be separated from my dogs, Coconut and Emmy can sleep in my bedroom while I stay in the guest bedroom with our visitor. This way, every pup can have a comfortable sleeping arrangement and plenty of individual attention! When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also love sending photos and updates so pet parents can relax knowing their furry family members are in loving hands!

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. ❤️

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy getting outside for walks, so dog walking is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a calm stroll, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m also happy to provide updates so you know your dog is doing well while you’re away. I’m happy to accept last-minute requests whenever my schedule allows. Feel free to message me anytime to check availability i’ll always respond promptly. This is currently my only and main job. So my schedule is pretty open. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and litter box or yard clean up as needed, and I always make sure pets get attention and interaction based on their personality and energy level. For drop in visits, I check on their wel being, handle basic care tasks, and spend time with them so they aren’t left feeling lonely. I’m also available for overnight stays, which allows pets to stay relaxed in their familiar environment while receiving consistent care and supervision. I treat every home respectfully and provide updates so you know your pet is safe and doing well.

About: I have been an animal lover since I was a young child. Most animals trust me, and love my energy. They have always been my focus, and I know they can sense my genuine love for them. My pet care journey started in 2016. I never knew a pet care business existed before then. Once I started meeting clients and animals... It just became natural to me. I’ve met so many animals in the past couple years, and I’ve learned so much from behavior to medical care. It’s been awesome!! I’d love to help you and your furry friends. Dog Walking, Pet Sitting, and Pet Overnights in your home. Known for Text and Photo Updates. Great References. “My passion is to help animals. They can sense my genuine love for them” Please Book a Meet n Greet ahead of time. Thank you! Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine because I’m home often and love having dogs around. I can work around feeding, walks, and playtime to keep your dog happy and cared for. I have a fenced yard and help from my husband to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed and always keep a close eye on them to make sure they’re safe and comfortable.

She gives him his pill, cleans his litter box, and cleans up after his litter mess on the floor. She feeds him on time and always sends us great pics. I trust her completely and always appreciate coming home to a clean house. I highly recommend her, she always puts my mind at ease.”

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Makakilo City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

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.
