“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: Hello! I am a travel Home Health Nurse missing my fur babies. Dogs naturally gravitate towards my energy and calm. I would love to spend time playing and loving on your cherished pet. I am a non-smoker, very reliable and neat person. I will treat your home and belongings with respect and care. I work in the community from 8am to 4:30pm. If I'm nearby, I can have lunch from home. Most days, I chart from home in the afternoon. I am happy to follow your dog's special routines and safety rules. Routine helps relieve a dog's anxiety. I can provide any special foods and medications requested.
About: I hold degrees in wildlife biology and ecology, so I have extensive training and experience taking care of animals. I have two cats of my own — an orange boy and a silver tabby girl. I have extensive experience taking care of various cats, including senior cats, cats with anxiety, and cats with IBD! I don’t currently have dogs of my own, but I grew up with medium and large size dogs all my life. I live with my roommates dog and take care of him often! I am an avid runner and hiker, so I am well-equipped to take your dogs on long walks, runs, and hikes! I have a PhD in Ecology, so I love animals in and outside of my work! I am currently working as a free-lance research scientist, so I have a really flexible schedule. My cats and I cuddle while I work, and sometimes go on leashes walks. I can make most requests work, including on weekends! I am comfortable with taking care of dogs in your home, letting them out to the yard, and taking them on walks! I can do the same for cats, especially those who need more constant companionship. I am also happy to do short drop-in sessions!
“Dianne was an amazing house and pet sitter during our two week vacation. She took care of our dog Saydi and cat Luna and sent us pictures and updates throughout our entire trip. She was so easy to communicate with and was there whenever we needed her. We can’t wait to use her for our next trip!”
“Katalin was fabulous with our dogs. She asked a lot of questions and really got to know them before we left. Our dogs were well taken care of and we would hire her again without hesitation. Great job!”
“Brittany was an incredible house and dog sitter. Although she has not utilized River long, she has been pet sitting for a long time. During the orientation and meet’s greet, she asked all the right questions. She wanted to know details of our dog’s typical routines and daily flow. She asked to see how Nelson’s harness worked and as well as how he likes to receive his eye drops. When we returned, the house was impeccably clean. She only asked a few clarifying questions while we were away but was sure to send daily pictures and videos of the dogs. Lastly, we truly appreciated the way she washed and cleaning all the bedding and towels, which was not expected. Brittany was very easy to work with and we will certainly reach out to her again when we travel off island next.”
“Gregory was amazing during his stay with our Frenchie! He took him on walks and little adventures and we’ve never come home from a week long trip to a more happy and healthy doggo!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pepeekeo
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! 😊

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.
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 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.
All bookings are backed by the , 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 .
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 .
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.
