“Alyssa responded quickly and sent pictures of our two dogs everyday while we were gone, it was a 3 day trip. She also gave our Great Dane his medicated eye drops which isn’t always an easy task lol. I feel like they were taken care of well, would book again.”
“Julie is great with my pittie mix and follows all my instructions and directions given with feeding and spending time with her. I came home to clean dishes and dog bowls which was nice after a long trip. This is my second time using her and will definitely rebook in the future. She is conscientious and responsible!”
“I am very appreciative that Karen was able to take over for another sitter. She was at a disadvantage because we did not get to meet before the stay started. So, she missed out on the intricate details of each dog and their behavior. But, she was caring and professional and did what was required. Also left the house so clean and even vacuumed! During the stay we gave her some tips to control one of our anxious dogs. She followed the instructions and made the rest of the visit much better. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Lei is a true animal lover at heart, you can just tell from how happy and excited she was to care for our pup. She was a reliable and trustworthy care taker for our dog and home while we were off island. She made sure to communicate well about our pup and home. Our pup was happy and seemed to have a great time with Lei. I would highly recommend her for house/pet sitting or any other needs.”
“Veronica was an absolute dream to work with! Our older pups started experiencing some random symptoms about a week before our trip to Japan and we contemplated cancelling the whole trip but Veronica gave us so much comfort and reassurance which also gave us peace of mind. We were in communication every day and she also sent pics/videos which was so calming for us. Normally we don't worry as much but our dogs are 16 and 13 years old but Veronica was very understanding and we cannot wait to work with her again. Thank you!”
“Alycia watched our sweet little boy while we were out of the country on really short notice. She was communicative and kept our place pristine. I would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
“Having Shalyn stay over was the best option for our fur babies. Our 2 boy dogs LOVED her right away and were so excited to have her. Our little girl who is typically standoffish warmed up to her within a couple of days. Appreciated the daily pictures! So much better than boarding them. I know they would have been stressed if they weren’t home with Shalyn spending so much quality time with them. Thank you again!!!”
“Kawehi took excellent care of both the dog and the house. We would love to have her pet sit again next time. Also, she had excellent communication and sent lots of pictures of our happy dog.”
“Ryan was wonderful. He sent quick responses and a photo with an update every day. My dog can be particularly anxious but she seemed fine. I would definitely book with Ryan again.”
“Janey was amazing. This is my first time hiring a sitter and Janey made everything go smooth. She is very communicative and provides updates which made me feel better. I will be booking Janey again”
“This was the first time we have left our pup Milo for a week with a stranger. I was pretty nervous about it but as soon as I met Melissa I knew he would be taken care of! She updated us daily with texts and photos, and I wanted her to feel welcome in our home. When we got back, it was just the way we left it! Definitely recommend!”
“Jackie watched our two French bulldogs for an evening and was wonderful! My frenchies are sweet but can also be a handful, so we are so grateful for Jackie’s patience. My younger pup requires medication at a certain time and has a risk of seizures, and she handled all of that perfectly. She gave lots of updates throughout the night, which we appreciated. Thank you Jackie!”
“Gabriella did a great job house and dog sitting for us while we were out of town. She was communicative, sent lots of updates, and our two pups seemed happy and calm when we got home. Would love to work with her again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and other pets my entire life and currently have a husky of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with lots of energy, strong personalities, and specific routines. Having a husky has given me plenty of experience with daily exercise, long walks, basic training, grooming, and keeping an energetic dog happy and stimulated. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family over the years, including both younger, high-energy dogs and older dogs who need a little more patience and attention. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and adapting to each pet’s normal routine. As a former EMT and current PA student, I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health and comfortable staying calm if something unexpected happens. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own. I’ll be on Oʻahu from October 18th through November 14th for one of my medical school clinical rotations in Kailua. During that time, I’ll have a fairly consistent clinical schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my mornings and evenings. I’ll be available for feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention before and after my rotation each day, as well as more flexibility on my days off. Since I’ll be staying locally for the entire month, I’m also happy to work with your pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and home in someone else’s care. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and try to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and any house rules. I’m very mindful about keeping doors, gates, and yards secure, especially with pets that like to explore or make a run for it. I’ll also keep your home clean and tidy, bring in packages or mail, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how things are going. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have for your pet or home.
About: I have always had a dog present since I was born. With that I have always wanted to build a strong connection with them. This includes belly rubs, giving treats, going for walks/venturing, or playing with doggy toys. I am currently working a part-time job and typically available at the beginning of the week. I do sometimes pick up shifts but I am pretty flexible with my time. During my days off I will have a plethora of time for your pets to keep company for a walk or being social. I often times like to match a pets energy. If they need some play time, I will be more than happy to give them needed attention. If they would like to have a more chill day, we can go for a nice calm walk or just relax outside on the grass.
About: Hi there! I'm Jackie, a dedicated dog lover with a passion for providing exceptional care for your furry friend. I've had the pleasure of caring for a husky in the past and currently have a loving minpin/chihuahua mix. My experience with dogs of all sizes has taught me the importance of understanding each pet's unique needs and personality. While I can't personally own a cat due to my boyfriend's allergies, I'm happy to provide loving care for your feline friend. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and would be thrilled to offer companionship and attention. I'm an active person who loves to walk, so if your pet needs plenty of exercise, I'm up for the challenge. Whether your dog requires daily walks or simply needs a comforting presence, I'm here to provide the care and attention they deserve I'm a part-time worker who loves spending time with animals. I'm happy to take pets on adventures or provide in-home care on weekdays and weekends "I'm committed to providing your pet with the best possible care. Please let me know your specific preferences for feeding, walking, cleaning, playing, and crating your dog. I'm also happy to accompany your pet on walks or hikes if you'd like
“Kaitlyn was absolutely amazing with my anxious dog Penny. She knew how to approach her and talk to her without any trouble. Penny usually barks at new people but she didn’t bark once at Kaitlyn which is when I knew that Kaitlyn was perfect for Penny. She was able to get close and feel at ease. She did an amazing job at watching Penny and kept me updated with texts and pictures throughout the day which was amazing and reassured me that my dog was given love and care the whole time. My previous Rover sitter had not contacted me in a couple days and Kaitlyn was able to squeeze me in at the last minute! I am so grateful for that. I will definitely be seeking out Kaitlyn again for any future days that I am away from Penny as she is very trustworthy and amazing with fur babies. I’ll know she’ll be well taken care. I’ll definitely be recommending Kaitlyn to everyone that I know that will need a sitter.”

Ashley was one of the best pet sitters we have ever had. She took wonderful care of our two dogs while house sitting for a week, sent us daily photo updates, and even cleaned the house before she left. She is incredibly thoughtful, reliable, and communicative. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs and home were in such good hands.

Kelly took great care of Monty and made sure our home was OK during a crazy weather event on Oahu. She was also great to coordinate and communicate with and was able to help care for our home and pupper when we needed to be away due to a last minute stay in Waikiki. I would highly recommend her!
John was absolutely incredible with our 3 dogs (that range in age and size - 12 yr old Golden, 10 yr old Golden, 3 yr old mini-poodle)! He stayed the night while we were traveling allowing the pups to feel comfortable in their own home. He even sent pictures to us throughout the day. The pups had a blast!! He is a licensed veterinarian and an epidemiologist, which made us feel extra comfortable. He also agreed to an initial meeting with the pups before the booking. We will absolutely be using John again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Maunawili walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Maunawili maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Maunawili 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
