“Brandi is great! She is very communicative and is always on time. My two pups absolutely love her! She brightens their day when she comes over to give them a potty break during our long work hours. Our older dog has some health problems and she gives him his mid-day mediation. Their quality of life is so much better now that she’s a part of it!”

“Ryan is fantastic! I frequently have last minute work trips and he’s been extremely accommodating of my short notice petsitting requests. He’s great with my cats and I don’t go to anyone else!”

“Lyndi was absolutely amazing! She provided excellent communication and peace of mind while we were gone, taking great care of our cats. I was so nervous, but she put my mind at ease sending pictures and giving snuggles, not just food to our furbabies. Would absolutely rebook and recommend her.”


“Hayley was an excellent sitter for drop in visits. She thoroughly spoiled our senior dog with affection and treats, and was able to help with her eye drops and special hygiene needs. Hayley makes you feel reassured your pet is in good hands with many photos!”

“Having Sydney care for my cat was hands down one of the best decisions. Not only did she follow our care instructions to a T, she sent the best updates. I’ll definitely be re-booking in the future. Thank you for your care ✨”

About: I've lived with cats and dogs since I was born, and I started taking care of friends' and family's pets in high school. I love pets and am always down for a walk, play, or belly rub! I am a master's student at UH so I am on campus during most of the day on weekdays for class and research but I am typically available in evenings and on the weekends with notice. I am happy to take care of your pets however you prefer. It's your pet and your home so the ball is in your court!
“Darby went ABOVE and beyond to make sure my kitties were cared for and well loved, changing their litter when we ran into some issues and going back an extra time when their auto feeder ran out. They also were so much more comfortable because of her which I appreciate more than anything!! She’s such a gem!”

“Great service! I felt very comfortable leaving my kitty with Jamie. She was always communicating and letting me know when she would be heading over. Grateful to have hired her. I highly recommend her if your anxious leaving your pet because they will be in good hands with Jamie!!”

“Sarai provided great report cards at every drop in visit - often with fun details about who our dog met while out on the walk (both human and canine). She was able to manage eye drops, special hygiene needs, and cater to our dog’s vision and hearing impairments. We would recommend Sarai and hope to rebook with her in the future.”


About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with both cats and dogs of all ages. I’ve worked with the Hawaii Cat Foundation caring for kittens, mom cats with litters, and elderly cats, so I’m comfortable with shy pets, special care needs, feeding routines, medication schedules, and giving animals patience and attention. I also worked as a dog walker growing up and have experience handling different dog personalities and energy levels. At home, I currently care for two cats and a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, communicative, and caring. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work full time during weekdays, but I’m available after 4:30pm for evening walks, drop-ins, feeding, and pet care. I’m also available all day on weekends for flexible scheduling and extended visits. Detail-oriented pet sitter experienced caring for cats and dogs of all ages, including kittens and senior pets. Reliable, patient, attentive to routines, medications, comfort, cleanliness, and care.
“Claudia was great with our cats while we were out of town for about 3 weeks - she took very good care of them and sent plenty photos. It’s great that she’s local too - so you can count on her 24/7 - will definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends from my childhood pups Oreo and Cameo to my brother’s sweet pit bulls and my best friend’s energetic heeler. I’ve volunteered at shelters, fostered kittens, and cared for pets of all ages. With me, your fur baby will get plenty of aloha, belly rubs, and adventures! I work full-time during the week but am available on weekends and select weekdays. I’m organized and committed to prioritizing quality time, walks, and play with your doggie. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow your pet’s usual routines, ensure fresh food and water, give daily walks, playtime, and lots of affection, and keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s what I love. I’ve spent years working hands-on with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I truly believe every animal deserves patience, respect, and individualized care. From energetic puppies and shy rescues to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I’m experienced in adapting my care to each pet’s unique needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of reliable care. I’m primarily available during the morning and early afternoon, which allows me to provide attentive, unrushed visits that fit well with pets’ daily routines. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and relaxed. I follow your pet’s established routine closely—feeding, playtime, litter or potty care, medications, and quiet companionship—so their day feels as normal as possible while you’re away. I treat your home with respect, keep spaces clean and tidy, and take time to make sure your pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for. Thoughtful attention and reliable updates are always part of my in‑home care.
“Kate is super good. She jumped in when all my other sitters were on vacation, sick with Covid, having surgery, I literally was in a bind and she committed for the time I needed her. Was prompt and got the job done. I look forward to using her more in the future.”

“Liana was absolutely amazing taking care of my kitty for 10 days! 🐾 She went above and beyond every single visit — making sure the litter was always clean, food was topped off, water was filled to the brim, and plenty of treats were given. She even brushed my kitty regularly and fixed the camera so I could check in when I was away. Her updates were detailed, thoughtful, and reassuring, with photos that showed just how comfortable and happy my cat was. It gave me total peace of mind knowing Liana was so reliable and attentive. 💕 I could tell she truly cared and treated my kitty like her own. I can’t recommend Liana enough — if you’re looking for someone responsible, loving, and detail-oriented to watch over your pets, she’s the best! 🐱✨”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a teen. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing my own dog grow from a puppy to senior. I have experience with adapting to each dog’s individual needs and with caring for senior pets. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with dog-sitting and walking. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and learning how to keep them engaged and happy! I’m currently working part time, so I am available on weekends and some weekdays for dog sitting.

Makiki pet parents share their Rover experiences
I highly recommend booking Janey. She is incredible! She loves animals and will make sure your pet is well cared for. Thank you so much for taking care of my cats, Canelo and Lio (even though they were up to no good some days lol). You will definitely be my first choice if I need to find a sitter through Rover again. You made my vacation stress-free, knowing that they were being taken care of.

Emily was absolutely wonderful with our two toy poodles! From the moment she met them, they took to her immediately, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and went above and beyond what we asked of her. It was clear from her updates and photos that she genuinely cared about our dogs and spent quality time with them during each drop-in visit. Thank you so much for everything!!

Liana and Wilbur are so amazing! Our cats can be very weary of new folks, yet they were able to make them feel comfortable in such a short time! They make a great effort every visit to make sure the cats get played with, fed, water, litter, and are completely taken care of and loved!

Jamie was such a great kitty-sitter!!! She followed all the instructions, and loved up on them, so I knew my kitties were in good hands! It is the first time I hired someone to come into my home, so I was a little nervous. But Jamie exceeded my expectations! Highly recommended!

Maya did an outstanding job watching my oftentimes temperamental orange cat. She arrived at the agreed upon times, kept me updated via the Rover Cards, and even got Marmalade to drink his water from the faucet. When I returned my place was neat and tidy as well.

Sonja was such a great sitter. My pups were looked after and cared for while I was on an international trip and I had to have her look in on them last minute. She was very responsive and kept me updated the entire time. Will definitely reach out for any future trips!🐶😊

Victoria was a great sitter for my 2 cats! She was quick to respond and very accommodating even with a short-notice request. My female cat is very shy around strangers, but I could see from the photos that Victoria took that my girl became comfortable with her rather quickly. I am satisfied with the care that she gave them as they were in good spirits when I came back home. 😊
