“Carey was great! She was very approachable and easy to talk to during the initial meet and great. I appreciate the fact that she has a lot of experience with dogs over the years. She was prompt in arriving at the agreed time. My dog warmed up to her quickly. She sent pictures daily. I really loved that she was able to spend a large amount of time at my house with my dog. We will definitely use Carey in the future. Thank you Carey!”
“Mandi was so incredible! She took such great care of my Jackson, even taking him to the park multiple times a day to play fetch and sent pictures to keep me updated. She also dealt with his reactivity well which is always a concern of mine when I leave him with others. Responses were quick and as a house guest she left everything clean, even cleaned the bedding in her room which was so kind and nice to come back to one less chore after a busy vacation.”
“Casey took care of our pup while we were off island for a weekend; he even brought him his new favorite toy. Casey is very pleasant and we felt very comfortable with him after our meet and greet. He sent updates with pictures and left our place just as we left it. Our dog had a great time with him and we would definitely work with him again!”
About: I have been a Rover sitter and dog walker since 2023 and have always had a lifelong love for all animals. Growing up on a farm in rural Nebraska, I was responsible for horses, cattle, pigs, chickens, goats, cats, dogs, and even fish. This hands-on experience honed my understanding of different pet needs and personalities. My cat, Milly, has been a part of my family for 9 years and counting. I have worked at a vet clinic and interned at the California Wildlife Center, which gave me veterinary medical knowledge and skills. I am comfortable with medication administration and special diets. With 20+ years of pet care experience, I'm dedicated to ensuring your fur family receives the utmost care and attention they deserve! I'm thrilled to offer my flexible availability to cater to your pet's needs! I am available on weekdays in the mornings and afternoons, and can schedule for midday as well depending on your location. Most weekends I am available to schedule for any time that suits you best. Based on the pet parent’s guidance, I tailor my care approach to match their pet’s personalities and preferences. I have experience working in veterinary medicine and can help administer any medications or give special diets. Safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities.
“Sarah communicates very well. Responsible, shows up on time. Dogs loved her and were very relaxed and happy when we got home She also took care of our home well and kept us updated with any issues She's a great dog sitter.”
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.
“Natalie is a amazing! I have an extremely high maintenance, elderly, not always friendly, sassy bulldog who is about as stubborn as they come. Natalie adhered to all of my many requests and suggestions about how to best handle Lana as well she went above and beyond by watering all of my plants (both indoor and outdoor) AND I returned to a house cleaner than I had left it!! Not to mention she texted with photos, videos, and updates daily to put my mind at ease. It was such an Incredible experience that I immediately booked her again. Such a relief to have a competent sitter close to home!”
“Alexandra was great with my three large dogs. One senior who takes medication, one 4-year-old Labrador and a Humane Society Foster. The Foster was a last-minute addition from when I booked Alexandra. She said no problem when I contacted her. She had a couple challenges and took care of them like a pro. The foster dog I had I could not get out of the yard for a walk as she was afraid of everything. Well, Alexandra managed this feat while we were away. I would not hesitate to call her again. My dogs were happy and relaxed when I arrived home. What more could I ask for”
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.
“Kiaya is amazing! She was so sweet with our anxious pup, and went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and happy. She was communicative and sent pictures, and made us feel much more comfortable leaving.”
About: As a teacher and mother, I’m a natural caregiver and there’s nothing I love more than caring for dogs. I have a gift for understanding them and providing the right kind of love and affection. I’ve worked at a vet, helped dog rescues in Korea, and have been a dog sitter since childhood. Our dog Prim lives a splendid life in our new fenced backyard. We brought her to Maui from Korea and have showered her with love. Along the way we’ve watched many buddies for her, always making these dogs feel like part of the family. Let me put your mind at ease, give your dog a safe and loving second home, and provide you with some cute photos too! I am a teacher so I’m usually home by 3 pm and have a lot of holidays off. My husband works four days a week. We’re always home on the weekends and have a great setup when we’re not here so that pets can enjoy both the house and the backyard. My yard is fully fenced in and live on a quiet cul-de-sac. We are very aware of potential dangers and try to always have a plan in case it’s needed. We’re informed on all feeding precautions and exercise care during play and meal time. Both our kids, even our toddler, are careful and kind with all animals. I passed my dog whisperer genes on to them!
About: I am a dog fanatic, they are very special to me. I have had many dogs growing up of all breeds and sizes. 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
About: I am an animal lover who has been helping friends and family with sitting their fur babies for years and i want to take my skills to the next level by sitting on rover 🐾 I would love to sit during the week and on weekends. I have a flexible schedule and live an active lifestyle and would love to go on long walks and hikes with your pets or enjoy time cuddling on the couch. I keep a very tidy house so there won’t be much to worry about your pets getting into and I will leave your home better than I found it as well. I live on col de sac so the road is not busy and very good neighborhood for dog walking

“Kristina was a wonderful sitter for my two dogs at my house. She is obviously super comfortable and happy with dogs, and she was very communicative and easy to get ahold of with any questions. She went above and beyond what I asked of her. Highly recommend Kristina to all other dog owners!!”
About: Aloha :) My dogs and I would love to have your dog stay at our house in Olinda! We have a fenced yard and a few (partially fenced) acres of land beyond that for the pups to play and fetch the ball (depending on your comfort level with that, of course). Delilah is a sweet 4 year old golden retriever who loves equally to play and chill. Bear is a 2 year old golden Aussie who *always* loves to play and love on other pups! We live 10 minutes from both Olinda forest and Makawao forest so we usually go for morning walks there 4-5 days week. We would love to bring your pup along with us! I work from home during the day. I’m never gone for more than a 5-6 hour time frame at a time and on top of that, we have a doggy door for the dogs to go in and out freely in our fenced yard. I have a fenced yard for the dogs to hang out in and a few acres beyond that (partially fenced) for them to run around and get their energy out in. I’m always watching the dogs when they are beyond the fully fenced yard. I will also make sure you are comfortable with your dog in this situation before doing so.
About: I communicate with animals very well & have cared for & regularly research a variety of creatures, both with domestic & farm lifestyle to constantly improve my knowledge of different situations. My Reiki practice is run from home & I have the flexibility in my schedule to be fully present with your animal & to will also offer Reiki treatments for your anxious / blue pet. I have a huge property with a security gate & fencing that allows lots of space for outdoor play & clean, comfy, & safe indoor quarters that can allow room for your crated pet.

I can’t possibly say enough good things about Mandi. I am SO GRATEFUL that I chose HER to stay with Paka for 8 days. She was absolutely PERFECT, with great communication. She is also AFFORDABLE, which was GREATLY APPRECIATED. I love her vibe and I trust her 100%. I can’t recommend her enough!!
Mandi was so incredible! She took such great care of my Jackson, even taking him to the park multiple times a day to play fetch and sent pictures to keep me updated.

Responses were quick and as a house guest she left everything clean, even cleaned the bedding in her room which was so kind and nice to come back to one less chore after a busy vacation.

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 Puunene 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 Puunene 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 Puunene 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!

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 .

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.
