“Carey did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 dogs and home while we away. We have her booked for another upcoming trip! Highly recommend! She is reliable, good communicator and the dogs both were very relaxed and happy when we got home.”
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.
“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: 🤍 I’d love to care for your dog like part of our family. We have a calm, loving home where dogs can relax and roam freely. They’re never left alone for long periods. I have a one-year-old who is my world, so I only accept gentle, very friendly dogs, and everything is closely supervised. Your pup will get plenty of potty breaks, and lots of love—no crates unless you prefer. Dogs must be comfortable on leash when on walks and not aggressive or reactive. Thank you so much! My daily routine is flexible and built around your dog’s needs, including: • Morning, afternoon, and evening walks • Frequent potty breaks (as often as every hour, if needed) • Playtime, rest, feeding following your current schedule Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m home and present at all times, so your dog will never be left alone. Our home is calm and family oriented, and we only accept baby-friendly, gentle dogs due to our one-year-old. Dogs receive frequent potty breaks, outdoor time, and personalized care, and must be well-mannered on a leash for walks with my child.
About: From the time I was born, I always had an animal in the household. My love for taking care of my four legged fuzzy friends continued into high school, when I started volunteering at Assistance Dogs of Hawaii. One thing I learned from my experience volunteering is that I enjoy making a positive impact on pet and owner relationships. I’m currently working part time so I will have down time that I can spend caring for your animals. I am also taking a few online classes which makes my day to day very flexible! My care for your animal/s will be based on your needs as routines are different depending on your pet and home life. I am very diligent and detail oriented. I will be able to follow your directions and ensure that your pet gets lots of love!
“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”
“Jayne house-sat for me and watched my two dogs and cat, who are all fairly high maintenance. She did an excellent job. I got plenty of pictures and videos, and the animals were happy. They got lots of exercise and play time. I’ll definitely have Jayne help me again in the future.”
“Sarah was amazing! She is a very kind, thoughtful person and animal caregiver. She was very communicative and reliable. She sent multiple photos/videos and updates daily. She left the house very clean. We truly enjoyed having her take care of our animals and hope to use her again in the future.”
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
“Lauren stayed with our pets for a week while we were on a family vacation. She was great at communicating during the trip and we came home to happy pets and a clean house. We would definitely recommend Lauren for house/pet sitting and will use her again in the future.”
About: I have a husky mix Kea and we are super active! Daily walks and animal care is in my daily routine. I have been doing rover for a long time now. Apart from dogs, I worked/lived at a cat sanctuary in Haiku that had over 200+ cats as well as chickens and cows. My job consisted of feeding, giving medicine/attention, and cleaning after them everyday. I take care of my husky mix Kea everyday! I work from home m-f and have lots of free time. I love to take care of all kinds of animals. I am looking for some extra jobs on the island! I would make sure I am aware of the clients needs and expectations when being in their home. I will be aware of any precautions and contact the owner with any issues. I will take care of the animals with anything that is needed (walking/feeding/put into crate/attention), I am a quick learner and am open to any specific jobs.
About: I've cared for my own diabetic miniature schnauzer and understand the importance of managing a strict diet and administering medication. Dogs tend to love me and come up to me often when out walking. I grew up with dogs and cats my entire life. They are playful, loving, and honestly can warm your heart. My old dog Bella was diabetic, and it was hard to find a trusted sitter. I want to be the trusted sitter for you. So, you don't have to worry if your dog or cat is okay. Breeds I've owned: Miniature Schnauzer and Lhasa Apso. (cats typically have been rescue). Hi there! I'm Mari, a [Responsible and loving] pet sitter and a self-employed professional. When I'm not empowering clients as a leadership coach and energy facilitator, I'm spoiling furry friends as a pet sitter! Having owned homes myself, I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your space. You can rest assured, I'll treat your home and pets with the same love and respect I give my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family
About: Hi! I’m Rae! Ever since my dad handed me my first Boston Terrier when I was a little girl, my heart has belonged to the animals. I was lucky enough to grow up in a household with pets, and as an adult I couldn’t imagine not having pets. I also recognize that even though we wish we could take our furbabies everywhere, it’s just not a reality for a lot of us. So, I’m happy to be able to ease the worry of wanting or needing to travel, work, etc by offering to take care of your babies while you’re away. I’ve also traveled to help take care of pets while they’re pawrents were away, tending to both their pets and home. Currently I have a lot of open availability. I prefer to be able to come to your house as I have two pups and three kitties in my home, and I know a pet is usually more comfortable in their own environment. The less that has to change for pets, the better so they don’t have to experience the stress of a new place or dog boarding. So I’m happy to provide potty breaks, walkies, play time, and in home sitting if needed. With direction from you, I’m happy to follow guidelines that you have set up for your pets in your home from their daily routine, to walks etc.
“Jennifer was AMAZING! She loved my babies as if they were her own! She sent many pictures and videos, was super clean, and hands-down the best Rover experience I have had. I will definitely hireher again and again.”
“Bea was wonderful. She took great care of our pets and our house while we were away. She provided daily photos and updates of our fur babies, and played fetch with our dog daily. She also provided tons of kitty snuggles! Would def recommend!”
About: Hi there! We’re Shayele and Carl — a pet-loving couple who truly understand that animals are family.

Shayele has experience with animals at a local farm, caring for everything from donkeys and alpacas to goats, sheep, cows, chickens, and horses. From feeding to administering medications, you can trust that your pets are in experienced, capable hands. Carl brings a calm, steady presence and a big heart for animals of all kinds. Together, we’re reliable, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with furry (and sometimes feathered!) friends.

We carefully follow all instructions, including administering medications and accommodating any special care or routines your pet may require, ensuring they are safe, happy, and loved while in our care."
About: I've been surrounded by animals all of my life, with a wild assortment of pets including dogs, cats, horses, goats, pigeons, an African Grey, hamsters, rats, chickens, and even an iguana! I grew up in the Midwest with parents who were talented breeders and trainers of German Shorthaired Pointers and Vizslas, as well as master gardeners. In my adult life I've lived with dogs, cats, and chickens, though currently have no pets of my own as I travel too much to provide consistent care. I am seeking longer in-home sits (1+ weeks) and am available to chat ahead of booking. I'm a semi-retired professional, and very much appreciating the flexibility therein! I am mainly interested in longer-term, in-home sits, and offer discounts depending on length of stay, number/ages/types of animals, and if use of car is included. The care I provide varies depending on the needs your animals! The flexibility of my schedule allows me to easily adapt to yours, making transition into caring for your pets as seamless as possible.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Puunene
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. 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Puunene is $147 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $132 and $163 per night. On Rover, 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 165 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 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
