About: Hello, I’m Jewelia! I’m a perfect fit for you because I have years of experience caring for animals, especially dogs. I have a Jack Russel who loves to play, go on walks, and loves to socialize! No matter what age or size, I’ve cared for them all! I’ve walked many dogs professionally, dealt with tons of different breeds, and would like to continue and pursue my work through Rover! If you’re in need of a reliable and loving caregiver for your furry friend, I’m the perfect fit! Make sure to contact me if you’d like to know more and have any questions! Looking forward to it! I work from home, so luckily freedom to travel and time management are my friends. I can care for your fur baby throughout my regular day - we can keep each other company! Rest assured, your fur baby is my number one priority when they’re under my care. I protect them as if they are my own and they will get the most love.
“Bea was great with my puppy! Super chill and easy to work with, and I felt good knowing my dog was in good hands. Came back to a happy, well-taken-care-of dog. Would definitely book her again!”
About: I am an animal lover who has been helping friends and family with sitting their fur babies for years and i want to take my skills to the next level by sitting on rover 🐾 I would love to sit during the week and on weekends. I have a flexible schedule and live an active lifestyle and would love to go on long walks and hikes with your pets or enjoy time cuddling on the couch. I keep a very tidy house so there won’t be much to worry about your pets getting into and I will leave your home better than I found it as well. I live on col de sac so the road is not busy and very good neighborhood for dog walking
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.
“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!”
“We love Christie! She came as agreed, texted me while at my house with a report on my pups, and sent pics. My pups were so happy! It is a huge relief when I am at work to know that Christie is visiting my babies. ”
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 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
“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.”
“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'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.
“Great experience. Jess maintained great communication and was flexible with my needs. she has an easy way about interacting with the dogs, and they responded well to her.”
“I had to travel for work, and since this was my first time looking for a pet sitter in Maui, I was a little nervous about leaving Blu. Emma was absolutely wonderful and immediately put my mind at ease. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and I especially loved the pictures she sent during her visit. It meant so much to see Blu happy, relaxed, and well cared for while I was away. Emma was reliable, kind, and attentive. Knowing Blu was in such good hands allowed me to focus on my work trip without worrying about him. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again, and I highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter. Thank you, Emma, for taking such great care of my boy!”

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Makawao is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $39 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.

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.

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 .
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.
