“Casey was absolutely amazing with Goku! He treated him like her own, gave him so much love and attention, and kept me updated with the sweetest photos. I could tell he felt safe and happy the whole time. Truly five-star care — I’d trust Casey with Goku any day!”

About: I've taken care of animals all my life! When the cats or dogs needed a bath i bathed them. Ive had 2 of my very own dogs for a short while and i took care of them they were always so happy! Well I only have a part time job at subway and it's actually convenient for me to petsit. I need something to fill in my time and animals are nice to have around you, I hold onto my stuffed animals wishing it was a real pet right now. I feed them, I can bathe them if asked to, I can treat them, I'll keep your pets safe, healthy and happy! I love to play fetch with dogs and I love playing with cats. Cats are very silly sometimes
“Kiaya went above and beyond to ensure the my dog Keku was completely cared for. She communicated well and allowed us to enjoy are trip away from home without worry. We will definitely rebook her again.”

“Megan was SO awesome!! I was in a huge bind trying to find someone to help out for a hospital stay, and had no advance notice. I joined Rover in a panic! Megan responded to my Rover request right away, and made time to get the key (in one direction on the island), and then head back to help the stranded pups (in the other direction) all within HOURS!!! She came up with creative ideas on her own (that she ran by me) to help out in this unique situation. She really was a lifesaver, and was an EXCELLENT communicator the entire time. She really went above and beyond, and I am SO grateful! I would definitely recommend her!!”

I own two dogs of my own currently a 3 year old hunting dog mix rescue and a 11 year old chihuahua/pomeranian mix and a rescue cat who are the light of my world and fur children! I've trained and raised all my animals I’ve owned (one being an exceptionally well behaved Service Dog). have worked at an animal hospital so administrating medication, messy clean ups, and baths are no problem for me. I have also worked in a grooming department, as an equestrian Care taker and competitor, and a doggy day care. I am comfortable with all animals of all species and sizes. You can count on me to always treat any animal as if they were my own(: hope to hear from you soon! Mahalo🐾 I currently a stay at home Mom of a 3 year old so my schedule is extremely flexible! I have reliable child care for my son when I need to pet sitting and on cases where clients own pets who aren’t comfortable around children, that is no problem! I will NEVER leave an animal unattended while in my care! I’ve been trained in proper animal handling and am confident and safe around all animals. I always make sure to lock gates and doors behind me every time!
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have an awesome 5 year old cattahoula mix who loves to make friends! We live at the back of Iao Valley, right next to the stream and have a beautiful fenced in half acre for the dogs to run around on. I work from home so will be w pup all day! They have free range to be inside or outside whenever they want. Lots of attention and love. I have a huge fenced in yard. Dogs have their own door that is always open for them to come in and out. Lots to explore and sniff!
About: I’ve always been around various animals (rabbits, horses, turtles, cats, dogs) as my mom was a vet tech and loved to foster. I love (and own) big dogs and operate a pet friendly cleaning service as well. I’m a residential housekeeper so due to my schedule I would ideally be shooting for afternoon walks and/or checks ins- typically between 3pm-5pm. As for walks, my dog is about 70lbs and my boyfriend’s dog is about 40lbs and I usually walk them together so I’m used to dealing with a lot of weight in tense situations. Please share any concerns or preferences beforehand and I’ll be sure to make a note (my dogs are still triggered by cats no matter how hard I try, so no judgement here). For in home visits- I will make sure the animals stay in designated contained areas and follow any dietary restrictions or preferences. Comfortable with giving medicine when needed (outside of injections).
About: I've been surrounded by animals all of my life, with a wild assortment of pets including dogs, cats, horses, goats, pigeons, an African Grey, hamsters, rats, chickens, and even an iguana! I grew up in the Midwest with parents who were talented breeders and trainers of German Shorthaired Pointers and Vizslas, as well as master gardeners. In my adult life I've lived with dogs, cats, and chickens, though currently have no pets of my own as I travel too much to provide consistent care. I am seeking longer in-home sits (1+ weeks) and am available to chat ahead of booking. I'm a semi-retired professional, and very much appreciating the flexibility therein! I am mainly interested in longer-term, in-home sits, and offer discounts depending on length of stay, number/ages/types of animals, and if use of car is included. The care I provide varies depending on the needs your animals! The flexibility of my schedule allows me to easily adapt to yours, making transition into caring for your pets as seamless as possible.
About: Hi! I’m Rae! Ever since my dad handed me my first Boston Terrier when I was a little girl, my heart has belonged to the animals. I was lucky enough to grow up in a household with pets, and as an adult I couldn’t imagine not having pets. I also recognize that even though we wish we could take our furbabies everywhere, it’s just not a reality for a lot of us. So, I’m happy to be able to ease the worry of wanting or needing to travel, work, etc by offering to take care of your babies while you’re away. I’ve also traveled to help take care of pets while they’re pawrents were away, tending to both their pets and home. Currently I have a lot of open availability. I prefer to be able to come to your house as I have two pups and three kitties in my home, and I know a pet is usually more comfortable in their own environment. The less that has to change for pets, the better so they don’t have to experience the stress of a new place or dog boarding. So I’m happy to provide potty breaks, walkies, play time, and in home sitting if needed. With direction from you, I’m happy to follow guidelines that you have set up for your pets in your home from their daily routine, to walks etc.

About: I’ve always been the one to be ask to take care of cats, dogs, etc whenever people go on vacation and I feel so honored to do so!

My schedule changes every week, so whatever works for you, i can fit around my work schedule!! My cats at home are mostly indoor cats with a few occasional outside visits, i have 3 black cats and 1 calico, all above the age of 10 and I have lived almost my whole life with them. I’ve dog sat larger dogs and smaller dogs, both drop in visits and staying at home.
About: Hi there, I’m Brooklen! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes as naturally to me as caring for people. With years of experience as both a veterinary technician and pet sitter, I bring not only love and compassion but also the skills to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, medication administration, or simply keeping your furry family member company, I approach every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away, so I make communication a priority—sending updates, photos, and little stories from our time together. From energetic pups who need adventure to senior pets who need gentle patience, I adapt my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs. Your pets deserve someone who’s reliable, responsible, and genuinely devoted to their well-being—I’d love to be that person for you. 🐾 I work part-time and home fairly early in the afternoon. I have some freedom with my schedule and am eager to plan around your pup/kits schedule. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, and loved—just like family. 🏡 In My Home: I create a cozy, pet-friendly space where your furry friend can relax and feel secure. I follow their normal feeding, potty, and exercise routines so they feel right at home. Fresh water is always available, and I provide plenty of toys, walks, and snuggles to keep them happy and engaged. Safety is a top priority, so I make sure all hazards are out of reach and each pet has their own comfortable spot to rest. 🚗 In Your Home: I respect your space while giving your pet the care and attention they deserve. I’ll follow your instructions carefully—from feeding and walks to medications and house rules. I also keep your home secure, tidy up after meals or litter changes, and make sure your pet feels loved with playtime and companionship. 📸 Communication: You’ll always feel connected while you’re away! I send regular updates with photos and notes so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to have total peace of mind, knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and cared for.

About: I grew up on a farm raising cattle, chickens, rabbits, cats and dogs, I guess that is where my love for animals began. I have two dogs of my own, wish I had extra space for 2 more or an entire dog sanctuary. I most certainly believe in exceptional care for all animals and have provided services taking care of friends and families furry companions. Your pet will have nothing short of snuggles and love from me!
“Leilani did great with Pebbles and her little kittens. They all grew closer to her each day and looked forward to seeing her in the mornings and nights. Leilani prepared their meals - all separately from kittens to mama Pebbles, washed all their feeding and water bowls when they were done and even cleaned out their litter box each day. She showed up on time and send me photos of Pebbles and the kittens twice a day. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Leilani and look forward to having her watch Pebbles and the kittens again.”

About: Aloha :) My dogs and I would love to have your dog stay at our house in Olinda! We have a fenced yard and a few (partially fenced) acres of land beyond that for the pups to play and fetch the ball (depending on your comfort level with that, of course). Delilah is a sweet 4 year old golden retriever who loves equally to play and chill. Bear is a 2 year old golden Aussie who *always* loves to play and love on other pups! We live 10 minutes from both Olinda forest and Makawao forest so we usually go for morning walks there 4-5 days week. We would love to bring your pup along with us! I work from home during the day. I’m never gone for more than a 5-6 hour time frame at a time and on top of that, we have a doggy door for the dogs to go in and out freely in our fenced yard. I have a fenced yard for the dogs to hang out in and a few acres beyond that (partially fenced) for them to run around and get their energy out in. I’m always watching the dogs when they are beyond the fully fenced yard. I will also make sure you are comfortable with your dog in this situation before doing so.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Makawao 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
