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

About: I’ve spent my life around dogs, from raising my own senior pup to pet-sitting for friends and neighbors. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy dogs to gentle senior care, including administering oral medications. I also use a patient training method for dogs that pull on the leash, and I always keep things clean—whether that's wiping muddy paws or keeping their play area tidy! My schedule is highly flexible! Since my daily routine already revolves around caring for my dog, Lily, I can easily fit in your pet's needs. For house-sitting, I can bring Lily along as a built-in playmate. If you prefer solo walks or drop-in visits, I’ll gladly leave her at home to give your pet my undivided attention I have a fully fenced yard for safe playtime and a friendly 12-year-old dog who gets along great with other pups. Plus, having lived on Maui for 16 years, I know all the best quiet trails, parks, and safe outdoor spots to take your dog for some fun adventures

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!

I love walking dogs and playing with them, and even chilling with cats in the house and playing with them aswell! I am free mostly everyday of the week, I work either from 6am-4pm or 10:30am-6:30pm, i’m free late afternoons and early mornings! 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: I have cared for many animals over the years horses dogs cats goats fish racoon turtle rabbits. I am an animal lover! And they love me also! Open to about any situation and any time. It is all negotiable. I am very flexible and easy going. I prefer ocean settings or very natural settings I do love exploring the ocean and nature.

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.
“Kiaya took great care of our cat, Merlin. We have specific instructions about coming and going from our house (to keep him from escaping) and Kiaya was super respectful and attentive to them, and played/snuggled well with him every day, which is huge for us. Felt very comforted & comfortable having her take care of our little guy while we were away!”

About: I have extensive experience in dog training and care as my Dad’s business was in rehabilitation, training and boarding for dogs. I worked as an employee for 5 years and also had opportunities to help train and care for the dogs from 12 years old. I love learning more every time I interact with a new dog. I am skilled at training dogs to get over leash aggression and constant pulling. I have worked with many different breeds of dogs and have learned a lot about how this can alter their specific needs. I have a part time job where I’m busy on Wednesdays and Fridays. Otherwise I am available to enjoy time with your doggo all day. I live on a large property with lots of fun things to smell and explore! It isn’t fenced, I intend to keep your dog close with a leash unless you feel they aren’t likely to try and run away.
About: I’ve had dogs and other animals in my life since I was a kid. I’ve taken care of and helped raise dogs from the puppy stages to adulthood. I am the type of dog lover who enjoys bringing the pup(s) with me to exercise. But I also love to just chill and love on them! In my home, the pet(s) are allowed inside. We have a fenced-in yard. They cannot sleep on the furniture, including the room/bed. I will respect any wishes you have for your pet, whether that be in my home or yours. I work from home -- so, I can accommodate practically any schedule of care. I am pretty flexible because 90% of my work is done online. I treat your animals and your home as if they were my own, with love, care, and respect. If at any time I feel like I have a question, I won’t hesitate to ask, because the well-being of your animal and home are important.
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.
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 .

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.

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.
