“I can’t recommend Hannah enough! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog and home with her. She sent lots of updates and pictures while we were away. We came home to a clean house just as it was left. Will definitely use Hannah in the future!”
“Jonathan was really great! Punctual, reliable and very communicative. You can tell he really loves and cares for the pets he watches. He sent lots of pictures of our dog every day, which we very much appreciated. Would love to use him again in the future.”
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m very familiar with caring for animals and understanding their different personalities and needs. I also have a cat named Kiko, who I’ve had since she was a kitten, and I’ve been responsible for her daily care, feeding, grooming, and overall well-being. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My schedule is flexible during weekdays after my morning classes (1pm), and I’m also available during weekends particularly mornings. I’m committed to making time for attentive, reliable pet care and keeping communication consistent with pet owners. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for whether they’re in my home or their own familiar environment. I follow feeding schedules closely, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or pick up after pets as needed, and spend quality time playing with them and giving them attention. I understand that every pet has different personalities and comfort levels, so I try to be patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs while keeping owners updated.
“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: What is it about those dog souls? They capture me, each and every one. I am a Registered Nurse with a heart for all dogs. I have had 3 dogs myself, the last one being a bully breed who taught me a great deal of how to work with dogs who require high management. I understand dog behaviors and idiosyncrasies and enjoy working with different personalities. I work from home so can keep eyes on your pup at most all times. I enjoy breaking up the day with a dog walk or training. I am happy to walk, run, play fetch, work on training or any other request during your pups stay. I enjoy spoiling dogs. But I also practice boundaries and behavioral expectations. My rate includes 2 walks a day and/or other exercise. I also provide a stuffed kong and other chewy toys unless you prefer they don't have ☺️ I am a proponent for dog parents to have a fi or gos collar for their pups. I think it's helpful for you as the owner to know where your pup is and the exercise they are getting as well, in an unfortunate/ unlikely event of getting out we can track them. I work from home so am available at most all times. I also have a half acre fenced yard If possible I'd like to do a meet and greet before sitting. I understand the trust it takes to allow someone to take care of you own pup but also to allow into ones home when you are away. I want to ensure owners are comfortable with my level of care and trust you instill with my service
“Koda loved Myka! We let her know that he has high energy and needs to be pretty active - and she did exactly that for him! She took him to the local dog park and on walks daily and she left our apartment SPOTLESS! She was so communicative and we felt so happy to know he was in such good hands. We would recommend Myka to anyone, and we know Koda would too!”
“Rachael took excellent care of our furbabies - we got lots of picture updates and felt great about her communication throughout. I would recommend Rachael to anyone looking for someone to help with care for their pups.”
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter who has been dog sitting and boarding for returning clients over the past three years. Caring for dogs has become one of my favorite ways to spend my time, and I love getting to know each pup’s unique personality. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or loves attention, I’m comfortable adapting to their individual needs and routine. I have experience caring for dogs with a variety of temperaments and always prioritize making them feel safe, loved, and at home. I’m very active and love being outdoors, so your dog can expect plenty of walks, playtime, exercise, and affection. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and offer both boarding and house sitting. I also have experience with basic training and reinforcing good habits, so I’ll happily stick to your dog’s routine and any instructions you provide. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your dog has a fun, safe, and loving experience from start to finish. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! I am available to care for your pet everyday of the week. I work as a surf instructor 3 days a week (8am–1pm), which leaves me very flexible and home the majority of the time. On work days, I provide early morning walks and care before I leave, plus afternoon/evening walks and attention when I’m back. On my off days, I’m fully available for plenty of walks, playtime, and company. Your dog will always get a consistent routine, lots of exercise, and plenty of love based on their individual needs. Whether in my home or yours, your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. My apartment is dog-friendly, clean, cozy, and smoke-free, with easy access to safe outdoor areas for walks, potty breaks, and exercise. I keep my space tidy and calm so pets feel relaxed and at home right away. For house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect and care as my own.
About: Hello! I am a travel Home Health and Hospice Nurse missing my fur babies. Dogs naturally gravitate to my energy and calm. I would love to spend time playing and loving on your cherished pet. I am a very reliable and neat person. I will treat your home and belongings with respect and care. I work from 8am to 4:30pm in the community. I am able to check in on pets throughout most days. I also can decrease my time away from work by charting at home. Sometimes I am on call. Most of the time this requires a phone call, but sometimes I need to make a home visit. All information would be relayed to the owner prior to agreeing upon a doggysitting job. I am happy to follow your dogs special routines and safety rules. Routine is important in relieving a dog's anxiety. I am able to provide special foods and medications needed.
“Thank you so much for taking care of my cats while I was away! I really appreciate your time, effort, and responsiveness throughout the booking. It gave me great peace of mind knowing someone was there to check in on them. Thanks again for your help!”
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.
“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 have been a pet sitter and walker since I was 13. I was known as the neighborhood dog walker whenever someone went on vacation or needed an extra hand. I am currently unemployed and will be on Maui for the summer so I am very flexible and can help whenever it is needed or however it is needed! I have a nice grassy backyard in my condo building and a pet friendly condo that can meet any pet owners needs and happy to help!
“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.”
About: I’ve always had a passion for dogs and recently loss my chocolate lab who lived 14 years. I do still have a 9 year old black lab who needs a playmate during the day. I’ve worked at the Boise zoo for 5 years and have experience in administering medicine. Im currently a full time BSU student and since most of my classes are online, I’m home all day to take care of dogs full time. I have a fenced in yard and I’m walking distance from several dog parks. I have a very friendly black Female lab who would love to have a playmate during the day. I’m a big guy (6’4”)so I can walk 3-4 dogs on a walk. Currently unemployed and looking for jobs in Kihei, Hawaii for now until I find either walk or until I figure out something just let me know and I’ll be there in a jiffy. I talk with the client and make sure to either give them a choice of daily or every other day updates on the dogs progress/mood if anything is out of the norm I will contact them immediately
About: Aloha ! My name is Ronda and I’d love to be your fur baby’s friend! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life- as a child my family and I rescued/rehabilitated dogs and cats, at 13 I started my first dog walking business, at 15 I started petsitting, and I’ve been dog walking and petsitting ever since 🐾 I love dog walking, pet sitting, a drop ins! I gear my care towards the specific needs/preferences of the pet and their owner, but I do everything! Walks, play time, fetch, couch cuddles, you name it! I have experience with elderly animals, large dogs, and puppies. Tell me about your pet and I will listen! What are their likes/ dislikes/ schedule/ sensitivities/ favorite toy? I will make note of their needs so that our time together is comfortable and fun. I work a part time job, but am pretty flexible otherwise. My references will speak highly of my reliability, caring and friendly nature, and my trustworthiness. I want to accommodate your pet’s regular schedule! I work part time (my shifts are midday to early evening, two or three days per week ), so I have lots of free time to walk/ drop in/ stay with your pet! My morning’s are wide open, as well as most afternoons/evenings. For petsitting clients, I can let you know my exact work schedule and adjust my shifts if needed. Your pet’s safety and your home’s security is my highest priority. I pride myself on leaving every space better than I found it; For petsitting clients I clean up after myself so you’ll always come home to an empty sink, clean sheets/towels, and a vacuumed floor!
“Jennifer was so wonderful with our Harry. We were so apprehensive about leaving him for our European vacation for 10 days, but right from the start we received updates and pictures of how he was doing. She was so very patient and kind with him, taking him for walks on a regular basis, and attending to his needs for reassurance. We would not have enjoyed our trip if not for Jennifer's care of our Harry. She also took care of the house and left it clean as when we left it. Would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone and plan to call upon her services in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Puunene
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 159 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Puunene. 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 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.
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 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Puunene. On Rover:
- 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.
