About: Ever since I could remember, I've learned to care for as well as love several different animals. Whether or not they're my own, it's always been second nature for me to care for them as family. I have thorough experience taking care of old and young furry, scaley, feathery, and swimming friends- both owned by others and me! I have raised puppies, kittens, and ducklings and am currently caring for a senior pup and senior hamster! I am currently living with my brother in Hawaii for a few months and would love to care for furry friends all around the island! Here, I spend lots of time with the family pup Maggie-Jo playing and going for walks. When it comes to connecting with others' pets, I make sure to understand their routine and make them feel the most comfortable in the place they call home!

“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!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Colleen was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and consistently attentive, patient, and loving toward our pups. She truly went above and beyond by taking them on hikes, giving them plenty of walks, and making sure all of their individual needs were met so they stayed happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her attention to detail really stood out, especially since she gave one of our dogs medication and made sure it was administered correctly. What also meant so much to us was her communication. Colleen provided daily check-ins and updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away from home. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about our dogs, and we felt completely confident knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Colleen to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated dog sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds throughout my life. Within the past decade I have cared for those types of my family and friends' pets from pet sitting them at my place to overnight sitting at theirs, as well as my own cat, Pluto, for the the past 11 years. I am currently in school to be a counselor on Tuesdays and Thursdays and would like to use my Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and some Sundays helping people play or walk or spend quality time with their pets. For the past decade I have casually helped care for others' pets. The most involved care was a recent overnight-pet sitting for 15 days: Two adorable aussie shephards, which included all basic care (feeding, walking, playing ball, brushing, and washing) as well as taking one to weekly vet appointments.

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: Im a huge animal lover!! I’ve had several dogs in my lifetime. Ranging from tiny to huge! I love going to parks to read and listen to podcast, and wouldn’t mind some company! Im self employed and work from home here in Hawaii so my schedule is super flexible. I love going on walks or runs depending on your pet’s endurance level. I love doggy snuggles and throwing the ball around. Pet care can fit easily into my daily or weekly schedule. I will love your pet like it’s my own! I’m very cautious of making sure doors are closed properly, leashes/harnesses are fully attached.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs and fish and birds as a kid, I have had cats and dogs and currently have 2 resident havanese small dogs. I work full time in Honolulu. I can do pet care evenings and some weekends. I can board pets in my home. I can give medications, take pups on a walk or check in on cats. The pets I have had can crate or roam free in the house depending on needs. I have administered medications, doggie diapers and even played YouTube dog separation anxiety videos for pups to settle into the home. I work full time and can let pups out in the evenings. Weekends I am often home. So sometimes I enjoy heading to the beach or on a hike. I am a loving pet mama who will care, hang out and love on your sweet pet. I like to cuddle with the pets in the evening and watch TV and take them on a walk during the day.

About: As a lifelong pet lover, animals have always been a central part of my home and heart. I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Whether your pet is an energetic pup who needs long daily walks, a high-strung rescue needing a gentle touch, or a senior kitty looking for a quiet lap, I tailor my care to their individual routine. I am particularly experienced with sensitive and special needs pets. I understand that nervous, anxious, or fearful animals require extra patience, soft communication, and strict adherence to their comfort zones. I am fully comfortable and meticulous with routine medication administration (oral/topical), managing specific dietary needs, and monitoring behavioral cues to ensure your pet feels secure, safe, and loved while you are away. I own and operate my own internet-based business, which allows me to work 100% remotely from my laptop. Because I set my own schedule and work from home, your pet will rarely be left alone. I am available for frequent pot-breaks, playtime, mid-day walks, and strict medication schedules throughout the day. My flexible routine allows me to adapt entirely to your pet’s typical home environment, making my care ideal for sensitive, anxious, or special-needs pets who thrive on consistent company and minimal disruption. When caring for your pet, safety, trust, and keeping their routine intact are my highest priorities. Because I work remotely, I am able to give your home and pet dedicated, low-stress supervision throughout the day. I treat your living space with the utmost respect, maintaining high standards of cleanliness, security, and privacy while ensuring your pet feels completely safe in their own familiar environment. To minimize anxiety, I strictly adhere to your established ground rules, feeding schedules, and medication routines. During our daily activities, I maintain full focus on your pet's well-being by keeping dogs securely leashed, staying mindful of environmental triggers, and providing a calm, patient atmosphere where sensitive or special-needs pets can relax and feel completely cared for while you are away.

About: I’ve taken care of an 11 year old fur baby till her last breath and I am very patient with all the animals! I really don’t have special skills other than playing the ukulele for them and spending quality time :) Aloha! My name is Kapono. I am a huge dog lover who enjoys spending time with fur babies of all ages and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just extra attention, I’m here to make sure they have a fun, safe, and a happy time! I recently graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA and I have returned back home. I am a dog owner myself. I have a 9-year-old Fox Terrier Mix and my previous dog that I owned I took care of until she passed away at 15. I am patient, committed to keeping pet owners updated with photos and communication, and really enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality :)! I have a fenced yard with a grass area where dogs can explore around and/or use the potty. My house is ac so if needed, keep them cool :)!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was really young from my mom asking me to feed our dog and trim our dog and feed him to my friends and neighbors asking me to watch their dogs and check on them. I have officially walked a couple dogs on this app and I can fully say that every dog that I have cared for has always left with a smile on its face. I have five cats one fully grown and four kittens of my own. I clean up once a day for them to stay clean and I feed them twice a day and give them affection any chance I get. I use to have a dog before I moved to Hawaii and I would give him baths whenever he got dirty and I would feed him and mix food for him once a day. Now my dog lives with my mom in the mainland and he is still as healthy as can be. I make sure to pick up after the pet if they had made a mess. I make sure they have the attention needed. I feed and water the pet on the preferred times and I also bathe them if needed. If they need to be given medicine I will ask how you would prefer me to give them the said medicine. I will make sure that everything is in order when leaving the house and/or dropping off the animal.

About: I have a lifelong passion for animals and a wealth of hands-on experience caring for an exceptionally broad range of species, from common household pets to more exotic companions. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and well-being through both personal experience and professional animal care. I worked at Englewood Train and Farm as a Farm Supervisor, where I was responsible for the daily care and supervision of a wide variety of animals, including goats, cows, chickens, guinea hens, hedgehogs, bunnies, sheep, pigs, bearded dragons, box turtles, guinea pigs, alpacas, and ducks. This experience strengthened my ability to understand the unique needs, behaviors, diets, and routines of many different species while ensuring they received safe, attentive, and compassionate care. In addition to my farm experience, I have also worked at a dog daycare, where I gained valuable experience caring for dogs in a social and active environment. As part of my training, I became certified in Animal CPR and First Aid, giving me the knowledge and preparation to respond responsibly in emergency situations. While I naturally enjoy showering pets with affection and attention, I also take pride in my ability to meet their specific dietary, medical, behavioral, and lifestyle needs with consistency and care. My approach blends compassion with responsibility, ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining a routine tailored to their individual needs. My extensive experience across such a diverse range of species has taught me to be observant, dependable, patient, and attentive to the small details that make each animal unique. I currently maintain a part-time work schedule, which allows me ample availability in the afternoons and evenings to provide attentive and consistent care for animals. Additionally, I am fully available on weekends, making me a flexible and reliable option for pet care during both the week and weekends. My open schedule ensures that I can devote the time and presence needed to meet each pet’s unique routine, whether it involves feeding, exercise, companionship, or special care. In my own home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment where animals are treated like family. I have a securely fenced yard for outdoor play and exercise, and small, well-behaved dogs who are friendly and non-aggressive. Pets in my care have access to cozy, pet-safe furniture and are free to relax and explore in a supervised setting. While my own animals are no longer crated, I have experience with crate training and can easily follow any crate routines or boundaries requested by pet owners. Similarly, when caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walking routes, medication instructions, and household rules with precision and respect. I take time to understand each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I always aim to minimize stress by creating a consistent, reassuring presence. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I bring the same level of attention, experience, and genuine love for animals to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for.

About: With 16 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding of the needs of both dogs and cats. Over the years, I’ve provided a wide range of services including pet sitting, dog walking, grooming, and administering medications, ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of every pet in my care. My extensive experience has allowed me to build strong, trusting relationships with both pets and their owners, and I pride myself on offering personalized, compassionate care tailored to each animal’s unique needs. I am a special education teacher in Kaneohe with availability for dog walking in the afternoons, between 3:30pm and 6:30pm, Monday through Thursday. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize both trust and safety through clear communication, attention to detail, and a consistent routine. I always meet with the pet and the owner beforehand to understand the pet’s specific needs, preferences, and any potential health concerns. I make sure to follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, and exercise routines precisely. Keeping a secure and clean environment is a top priority, ensuring the pet’s safety while also respecting the home. I maintain an open line of communication with the pet owner, providing regular updates through texts, photos, or videos, so they can feel confident that their pets are well cared for. Building trust through reliability, respect, and professional care helps create a positive experience for both the pets and their owners.

Kelly is simply FANTASTIC! She stayed with out little Maltese (who is a bit spoiled), and watch our house while we traveled for a conference. She sent lots of daily updates and photos. Our little Rocky absolutely LOVED her; so much so that he pouted a bit after we got home and she left. Kelly was responsive, communicative, careful and caring. We will certainly reach out to her again when next we travel.

We couldn’t have asked for a better house and dog sitter than Melissa! She recently took care of our senior dog, Hoku, and was incredibly thoughtful and attentive to all his needs. Her communication was top-notch—she sent daily photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Knowing Hoku was in such good hands and our house was well looked after allowed us to truly relax. We felt 100% comfortable with Melissa and will definitely be booking her again!

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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Maunawili

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Maunawili is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $81 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,006 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maunawili. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Tip: 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!

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.

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.
