Rachael always cares my cat Lola like her own. I can leave her behind with no worries. Most importantly Lola is happy to be able to stay at home even while I am not there. I can not thank enough.

About: Aloha ! My name is Ronda and I’d love to be your fur baby’s friend! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life- as a child my family and I rescued/rehabilitated dogs and cats, at 13 I started my first dog walking business, at 15 I started petsitting, and I’ve been dog walking and petsitting ever since 🐾 I love dog walking, pet sitting, a drop ins! I gear my care towards the specific needs/preferences of the pet and their owner, but I do everything! Walks, play time, fetch, couch cuddles, you name it! I have experience with elderly animals, large dogs, and puppies. Tell me about your pet and I will listen! What are their likes/ dislikes/ schedule/ sensitivities/ favorite toy? I will make note of their needs so that our time together is comfortable and fun. I work a part time job, but am pretty flexible otherwise. My references will speak highly of my reliability, caring and friendly nature, and my trustworthiness. I want to accommodate your pet’s regular schedule! I work part time (my shifts are midday to early evening, two or three days per week ), so I have lots of free time to walk/ drop in/ stay with your pet! My morning’s are wide open, as well as most afternoons/evenings. For petsitting clients, I can let you know my exact work schedule and adjust my shifts if needed. Your pet’s safety and your home’s security is my highest priority. I pride myself on leaving every space better than I found it; For petsitting clients I clean up after myself so you’ll always come home to an empty sink, clean sheets/towels, and a vacuumed floor!

About: As a dog owner myself, I know it's important to have a reliable sitter/walker who will watch out for your pet like their own. I have volunteered at animal shelters for 15 years, cared for the pets of friends and neighbors, and have done scent work with dogs. I can do drop-in visits weekday evenings and visits/walks/runs 7:30 am - 9:00 pm on weekends, including long holiday weekends. Last minute requests are okay, life happens! If you're a first responder and need pet care so you can do your job, let me know - I'd like to offer you a 10% discount. I work full time weekdays in a conservation job, so I can care for your pet after work (drop in visits) and on weekends (walks/runs and drop-in visits). I will consider last-minute requests, just ask. I can care for pets in their home. I learn their routine, communicate with their family, and ensure they are safe and happy. If possible, I would like to meet your pet before caring for them so they are familiar with me and there are no surprises.

About: For my kindergarten career day I showed up as a vet. After that, I became the kid in the house that would constantly be "adopting" new animals. It goes without saying that I've always been an animal lover. This led me to study and graduate with a bachelors in animal science and veterinary studies. Throughout my bachelors I was a foster parent for my university's pre veterinary and pet rescue group. During this time I fostered dozens of pets (cats and dogs). After graduating I developed an entered in conservation and my career path shifted to the study of wildlife conservation. However I worked for 3 years as a veterinary technician while I continued to pursue my career in conservation. Two of these years were at a pet veterinary clinic and one year was as a wildlife rehabilitation of migratory birds. Also worked at Maui Humane Society as an Enrichment and Behavioral Technician. Right now I have beautiful 3 year old tabby cat who is not a queen but a "Khaleesi" and her little sister Arya. However I thought I'd share the love since they’re so spoiled. I know that with my academic and professional experience I'm more than prepared but as a pet parent myself and a veterinary technician I understand that no matter how safe they are, we still worry. So why choose me? My intention is to be someone relatable, dependable and approachable to my clients. The goal is to make you as a pet parent and your pet as comfortable as possible. Hope to hear from you and feel free to reach out with any questions! I'm currently employed by the Maui Humane Society and will only offer my services as long as it doesn't conflict with working hours. Meaning that if I accept your request, your pet will have all of my time and attention. Open to house sitting during work days as long as we agree on everything and both parties are on the same page. At your location I will adhere to any requests or methods you have as long as it's a safe environment. At my location your pet will be under my care and sometimes interact with my partner who is also a veterinary technician. My 3 year old female cat (Khaleesi) lives with me on and off. She's and inside cat that goes on walks, has outside monitored time and is very pampered overall. All vaccines up to date, takes flea prevention monthly and is spayed. Whether you're open to our pets playing together and/or sharing space is up to you. Khaleesi is used to other pets both dogs and cats. They can be separated and sometimes will be regardless since just like people some animals just aren't meant to get along. All of these things will be discussed before on you agreeing on my services. The point is for you to feel comfortable.

Shanelle takes the best care of my pup! She is super communicative and sends the best pictures every time she takes my dog for a walk or goes for a drop-in visit. She always makes sure my pup gets the right amount of exercise, plenty of water, and tons of love.

About: I have always been drawn to animals and them to me. I grew up with dogs and have a cat right now. I enjoy spending time with animals and giving them love & helping out the pet owners. I am very flexible, communicative and nurturing. Thank you for your time! My hubby & are retired PTs and are doing our online business. I do pet sitting and dog walking on the side bc it is my therapy. I adore animals and they help to calm and center me. I enjoy being able to help ease a pet owner's worry bc I myself am a pet owner and know what I expect from someone watching my cat. I am very picky and want communucation, videos and updates. I do exactly what I say. I believe all pets feel the most safe in their own environment so I prefer going to their home. My cat is also not friendly with others so that is a big no-no. I am very open to staying the night, as long as the pet owner is comfortable with that.

Bea is wonderful! She took extra good care of our cat while we were away & even helped us with a water leak. She was quick to communicate & send pictures. Our family is very grateful for her help while we were out of town. She gave lots of love to our sweet cat while we were away. We give her an excellent rating!

Kelly was so, so great! We have two dogs and a cat and she was very attentive and kept in communication with me while I was traveling out of state during the Thanksgiving holiday. We have a pug and a Staffordshire bull terrier and she was great with both of them, as well as with our sassy tabby cat. We would love to have her do drop-in visits and walks again and highly recommend her to others in the area.

About: I have been caring for people's homes and pets since the day I got my license. Friends, family, and even people I barely knew have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, brush, and snuggle their fur babies. I am very comfortable staying overnight for house-sitting and pet care and always treat people's spaces and animals with the same respect I would want someone to treat mine. I recently moved back to Spokane after living in Maui for several years. I loved using Rover in Maui, and made some amazing connections with people still love to stay in contact with. I work as a Speech and Language Pathologist with a schedule of 8-3:30 M-F. I have church activities on weekends which usually go for a couple of hours. If you need a house sitter, please message me, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can! In a client's home, I can feed, bathe, walk, and play with any fur babies you have. I can also give medication if given the proper instructions and can send frequent proof-of-life pictures. If house-sitting, I ensure that the house looks the same as when you left it! Always following the golden rule!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Makawao

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Makawao on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 91 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Makawao. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Makawao. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
