“Rachael was easy to set a video call time with prior to her visit. We chatted and she was very thorough in her questions. She was on time for the visit, communicative with photos and updates, and Zena had a great time on their outing. Thank you, Rachael. We will book with you again and would recommend you to everyone! Mahalo!”

About: Aloha! My name is Tess and I would love to help take care of your pet no matter what kind! I am a college grad with a degree in Zoology! I started out volunteering for a local shelter in Colorado while attending college, working with cats and dogs. I have always pet sat for friends, family, and coworkers. I have cared for birds professionally for over 3 years. Have even cared for bears! I am willing to come to your house to care for your pet or walk your dog but unfortunately cannot have your pets stay at my place at this time. I am very active and love being outdoors. I am off work at 3:00 every day which leaves lots of time to care for you pet! I work a full time job 800-430 in Makawao Monday-Friday. Pet care would be outside of those hours and on the weekends. I am very active and would love to take your pets on a walk or play with them. I unfortunately can’t take care of animals at my own home because my landlord has a dog that isn’t happy to share their space
About: Premium Pet Sitting for Pets that Prefer Extra Attention Hi! My name is Ben and I offer my pet pal services tailored specifically for pets requiring extra attention and care. There are a lot of amazing sitters out there, but I am unique in that your pets will never be alone as you travel. You can think of it more as childcare for pets and my rate is less than 10$/hr. My service is perfect for retired individuals or those who work from home and want to ensure their pets receive the same level of continual attention and care they are accustomed to. I work fully remote for a local company based out of Maui, which allows me the flexibility to be present with your pet at all times, offering them the reassurance and stability they need. Why Choose My Service? Constant Companionship: I understand that some pets are accustomed to having a person around constantly and thrive on continuous human presence. I offer around-the-clock care, ensuring your pet receives comfort and companionship throughout the entire stay. Experienced and Trustworthy: My extensive experience allows me to manage the unique needs of pets requiring extra attention, including coordinating with household staff such as groundskeepers or any other maintenance crew throughout the day. Established Through Referrals: Most of my clientele comes from referrals, a testament to the trust and satisfaction my clients have in my services. While I am just starting to open my services to additional clients, I have had an outstanding reputation and have become part of the family for most of my clients. Daily Updates: I will keep you connected to your pet with multiple daily pictures and updates, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family is happy, well-cared for, and of course, living their best life. Active and Engaged: Your pet will enjoy jogging or walking each day, tailored to their energy levels and preferences, keeping them healthy and active while you are away. Specialized in Extended Stays: I specialize in extended stays, accommodating pets for multiple weeks or even months as needed. For stays over two weeks, I will arrange for grocery deliveries to ensure I can remain on the premises, focusing entirely on your pet and home without needing to leave for errands. Comprehensive Property Management: Beyond pet care, I watch over entire property, ensuring everything runs smoothly in your absence. I have experience coordinating with pool, lawn, and maintenance crews, to ensure your home is well cared for and the home of your pet also runs smoothly. Contact me today to schedule a local meet-and-greet and discuss how I can provide the best possible care for your family pet. Recommendations upon request. I work from home, and usually within 3ft of my furry friends. I seem to always have a pet at my feet or as a shadow as I walk through the house. They often supervise restroom visits as well. I have cared for pets at every level and prefer that your pet gets the same exact environment they are used to when you are present. A stress-free pet is the perfect companion for our time together.
“Gabe was absolutely wonderful house-sitting and caring for our dog and cat while we were away on an inter-island trip. Our dog can be a little socially sensitive—he is very shy, likes to hide, and can become nervous around lights and shadows—but Gabe understood his quirks immediately and made him feel completely comfortable. Gabe’s background in animal behavior gave us tremendous peace of mind, and it was clear that both of our pets were in excellent hands. When we returned, they were both happy and thriving. In fact, our dog seemed even happier and more energetic after spending time with Gabe! Gabe was extremely detailed, communicated with us every day, followed all of our instructions, and was incredibly respectful of our home. He is trustworthy, professional, kind, and genuinely cares about animals. We would highly recommend Gabe to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter. He is truly a class act and a gentleman!”
“Jill was excellent and my dog Charlie was well cared for. He stayed at her apartment for 6 days. She sent daily texts and photos which I loved! She was also very accommodating when I asked her to bring Charlie back home for me as my flight was arriving late. I would highly recommend Jill and will be booking her again in October.”
“Emily was the best with my new puppy! Constant updates and info throughout the night put this Mamma at ease. She also did a wonderful job putting a puppy with separation anxiety to bed. I truly her implicitly with my pup! ❤️”
“What a joy to have met Kiaya! She did an excellent job taking care of our active pups! She was great around the dogs and watched our home for us while we were away. Daily pictures from Kiaya and our snuggling dogs were precious. Thanks again, God bless you!”
About: I started off at a large animal vet hospital as a teen and since then I have taken care of coworkers' and friends dogs, even my chiropractor. I recently retired from the Department of Education and have plenty of time on my hands. Would love to do more with animals now that my time has freed up. I only offer in home care as I am not allowed to have pets at my own place. Preferably, I would like to remain outside of the home when coming to pick up your baby but it is not necessary.
“Casey watched my 2 nuggets this past weekend while I was out of state- he sent photos while I was gone, kept me updated and responded right away when I reached out. He took them to the park, made sure they got their meds, and lots of cuddles. I highly recommend Casey to take care of your fur-babies anytime!”
“Chris took wonderful care of my puppy, May! She kept in close contact with me and answered all of my questions while I was gone at work. I greatly appreciate Chris and I'll definitely be contacting her again for her awesome service! May was a happy pup when I got home :)”
About: I have been dog and cat sitting since college, taking excellent care of many precious animals. I have experience with puppies and will respect and adhere to your training styles and needs. My goal is to allow your dog to feel as wholly taken care of as it does with you, although you can never replace the connection, you can certainly spark a new one! I currently have full-time availability for pet sitting and care! I just moved to the island and don’t have my weekly flow set up yet so let me find it while making your pet a #1 priority! Our home has a lovely fenced in yard to keep your companion safe and sound from the dangers of roads. We have a small Pom who lives next door in the ohana on the property. She loves to play, but not always around so when we are inside your animal/s can truly make it their own! I love being outside, so if your dog likes fetch this is the right home! If I come to your home, you can expect full respect for your sacred space, as that’s what I expect in mine. I am very type-a and understand how to leave things how they were, and in an appropriate setting I know how, and like, to leave them better.
“Angie was an absolute dream for us! She stayed and watched our 2 cats and 4 month old puppy while we were away for almost a week. She kept us updated daily on all 3 of our fur babies with detailed recaps and tons of pictures. It made this worried fur mama feel so at ease about being away from our pets. Angie left not only our pets perfectly spoiled and happy, but she even left our home in pristine condition. Not to mention she is such a sweet person. Highly recommend Angie to anyone and everyone. We will definitely request her again!”
“Megan was so great with our animals during our recent trip. it was during the big storm and our house was without power and internet for 2 days. As soon as power was restored, she sent us updates and pictures of our cats and dogs. When we came home, our house looked better than when we left and we had a house full of happy animals. I would highly recommend Megan and will definitely use her in the future.”
About: I’ve spent my life around dogs, from raising my own senior pup to pet-sitting for friends and neighbors. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy dogs to gentle senior care, including administering oral medications. I also use a patient training method for dogs that pull on the leash, and I always keep things clean—whether that's wiping muddy paws or keeping their play area tidy! My schedule is highly flexible! Since my daily routine already revolves around caring for my dog, Lily, I can easily fit in your pet's needs. For house-sitting, I can bring Lily along as a built-in playmate. If you prefer solo walks or drop-in visits, I’ll gladly leave her at home to give your pet my undivided attention I have a fully fenced yard for safe playtime and a friendly 12-year-old dog who gets along great with other pups. Plus, having lived on Maui for 16 years, I know all the best quiet trails, parks, and safe outdoor spots to take your dog for some fun adventures

I will love them whole heartedly, I understand how much love and care they need while you're away. I do have a 9 year old who is dog crazy as well, he has lived with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Animals have a very special place in my heart (especially dogs) and I would love to be the one to take care of your special friend. I know the importance of trust with your loved ones. I would like to bring good energy into you and your pets life with a whole lot of love. Mahalo I am flexible, I don't mind traveling around the island to take care of animals. I have been fortunate to work with animals all over Maui for the last 11 years. I am very open to any specific instructions your special friend will need; first timers, allergies, high energy, separation anxiety and any extra care your pet may need

Bea was absolutely wonderful with our senior dog Juno!!! She took him on multiple daily long walks through our neighborhood and gave him all of his medication and supplements exactly as directed. She is very reliable and trustworthy and we already booked her for our next trip.
Megan was so great with our animals during our recent trip. it was during the big storm and our house was without power and internet for 2 days. As soon as power was restored, she sent us updates and pictures of our cats and dogs. When we came home, our house looked better than when we left and we had a house full of happy animals. I would highly recommend Megan and will definitely use her in the future.

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 Pukalani 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 Pukalani 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 Pukalani 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.

- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
