“Cathy was a joy to meet and have her take care of our animals! She goes the extra mile for them and truly cares about the animals! We came back to a cleaner household then we had left it and that was appreciated too. She kept contact to a minimum but plenty enough to know that our animals were well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her wholeheartedly.”

About: Before moving to Hawai'i, I created a small house sitting, animal care & lawn care company where I would bundle out services. Home owners were always happy and the animals were too, hence why they always booked me and recommended me to their friends and family which I always appreciated. You can be sure that your animals are taken care of, exercised and cuddled. I always try to send pics and updates so you don’t miss your fur babies too much! I always try to leave your house nicer than I found it as a way to ensure you know it was taken care of. I also am experienced with bottle feeding, horses, homestead caretaking, diabetic animals and elderly animal care. Let’s talk story and see if we are a good fit :) Im currently a full time grad student for counseling which means I have the ability to be home with pets on Tues/Thurs and would have some flexibility MWF for midday check ins or walks. As a counselor in training, my schedule can change last minute with clients cancelling or needing to reschedule on MWF which can benefit your furry friends! Lets talk story to see if we are a good match :) I currently live in a shared space in Hilo without a fenced yard so my services would need to be restricted to caring for your pets at your house unless it is a smaller well behaved animal for a night or two. I will always leave your house the way I found it (if not nicer). If you would like to bundle services for landscaping or house cleaning, please let me know and we can talk story!

About: Hi! I’m a dependable, caring animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. While I’m newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’m available for both house sitting and pet sitting. Im located on the east side of Big island and am flexible with traveling. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to a consistent routine, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your home and pets in someone else’s hands, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! If you have any questions or concerns please reach out Corinne Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part time as a driver, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to travel to care for pets when needed. I’m able to adjust my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s stopping by for visits or staying overnight, I’m committed to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I don’t currently have pets of my own because I rent, so my focus is on caring for pets in their own homes where they’re most comfortable. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any special instructions. I also make sure to keep your home clean and secure while you’re away. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care and help your pets feel safe, happy, and relaxed until you return.

“We couldn't have asked for a better house/pet sitter. Birdy stayed in our home with our cats for 2.5 weeks while we were away, and we came back to happy, healthy, well-fed cats. Communication was excellent throughout — she sent regular updates and photos, which put our minds completely at ease being away from our cats for so long. It was clear our cats felt comfortable and cared for the whole time. Coming home to happy, content cats after over two weeks away says it all. I'd trust Birdy with our home and pets again without hesitation, and I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter.”

About: I’m a calm, attentive pet sitter who genuinely enjoys getting to know each dog’s personality and quirks. I’ve mostly cared for dogs through house sitting for friends, and I really enjoy being part of their little world while their people are away. I’m comfortable with the everyday things that keep a dog happy and settled—feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, keeping to their usual routine, and making sure they’re doing well. I’ve also cared for dogs who needed minor wound care, following their owner’s instructions carefully. I tend to be especially good with dogs who appreciate a calm, patient person around. Some want lots of attention and play; some want to follow you from room to room; some are perfectly happy to sleep nearby while you quietly do your thing. I’m happy to meet them where they are. 😊 Since I’m house sitting, I also like giving dogs the comfort of staying in their own familiar environment rather than having their whole routine turned upside down. I’ll keep things clean, follow their normal schedule, and send you photos and updates so you don’t have to wonder what your little creature is up to while you’re away. I currently welcome **small-to-medium-sized dogs** and offer **house sitting only**. I currently work part-time 4 days a week, with 2 of those days being remote, which gives me flexibility and allows me to spend meaningful time with the pets I care for. I offer house sitting care and try to maintain a calm, consistent routine so pets feel comfortable and settled in their own home. I offer house sitting for cat and dog owners and focus on keeping pets comfortable in their normal home environment and routine. I follow feeding schedules carefully, refresh water regularly, and pay attention to behavior, appetite, energy levels, and signs of stress or discomfort. I spend real quality time with the pets I care for — whether that means interactive play, cuddling, brushing, companionship, or simply giving them calm presence and respecting their space. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, especially when their owner is away. In clients’ homes, I’m clean, respectful, and dependable. I take home security seriously, keep communication clear, and send regular updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing while they’re away.

Logan and Haidan were the best dog sitters we’ve ever had! They traveled to Charleston from their home in Missouri, and booked their flights around our travel schedule to accommodate us. Not only did they take amazing care of our dog, sending detailed recaps and photos/videos, but they also kept our home nice and clean for us to come home to! We had given them permission to use our vehicle while we were gone, and they took excellent care of our car and even topped off the gas tank! If you are lucky enough to book Logan and Haidan, you absolutely won’t regret it! 😊

The average cost of House Sitting in Pepeekeo on Rover is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $44 per night. 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.

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 Pepeekeo 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 Pepeekeo 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 Pepeekeo 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.

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 .

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.
