“Awesome dog sitter!! Bently enjoyed his time with his new friends away from home. I received pictures daily of his activities. I will be a repeat customer!!!!”
“Jacque saved us with this last minute boarding booking! She was incredibly responsive and sent us updates often. Phoebe had the BEST time playing at their home. Jacque truly treats Phoebe like she is one of their own, making Phoebe feel right at home.”
“Thank you Senne! Senne was very kind and also sent photos and updates of our pup so we knew our pup she was well taken care of. I would recommend Senne for dogsitting and consider having our pup stay with her again while we are away. Again, thank you Senne!”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! In fact, she's such a great sitter that I almost hesitate to write this review because selfishly, I'd love to keep her availability to myself! This was our very first time leaving our puppy with a sitter, and naturally we were a little nervous. Samantha immediately put our minds at ease. Before our trip, she took the time to meet with us and show us where our puppy would be staying in her home, which made us feel so much more comfortable and confident. While we were away for nearly two weeks, Samantha kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos. It meant so much to know our puppy was happy, safe, and well cared for while we were gone. What impressed us even more was that she actually helped reinforce our puppy's potty training during our time away. We came home to a puppy who had continued making progress, which was such a pleasant surprise! Samantha is truly a sweetheart, and it's obvious that she has a genuine love for animals and a heart for what she does. The care, attention, and affection she showed our puppy exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful we came across Samantha and couldn't recommend her more highly. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Catalina is amazing!! My dog Booker fell in love with her immediately. Catalina is a true animal lover who took wonderful care of my boy. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Danica is great, she took care of my Tamago like her own. Daily multiple updates and lots of snuggles for my kid. Couldn’t be happier to have left Tamago in her care.”
“Our hunny bunny loved his stay with Diana and family. Diana sends updates daily with pictures which made us feel at ease. Will definitely book with her again!!!”
“Emma was amazing! Toast fit right in with her family and was loved, adored, and well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would absolutely book her again. 100% loves the pups she takes care of!”
“Haily did an amazing job taking care of Oakley! She far exceeded my expectations. She would update me daily on Oakley’s day, send tons of pictures and even videos of him playing with her pups! You can tell how much she loves and cares for each pup she watches. Oakley loved his stay, and did not want to leave ? I will definitely book with Haily again!”
“Kyrie is awesome!! Can’t recommend highly enough. Rosie gets so excited whenever she realizes we’re heading to her house. She’s treated like family, gets to run around safely in a gated yard, and has become besties with Kyrie’s toddler. We appreciate all the photos and videos we get when we’re away, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing our pup is in good hands with a great sitter and family.”
“My little guy stayed with Selena and her husband for the 2nd time and I'm so grateful for their care. I got updates and photos of my skittish pup finding his own comfort in their home.”
“Camille was great with Stella! I really appreciate how easy the whole process was with her. Great communication and provided pictures daily to keep us updated with Stella. Definitely would trust her to watch Stella again.”
“Makayla was absolutely wonderful with Huey! From the moment I booked, her communication was exactly what every pet parent hopes for when leaving their dog in someone else’s care. She sent regular updates and photos, asked thoughtful questions whenever she needed clarification, and was proactive about sharing any concerns related to his care. I booked on very short notice and still received top-tier service. It was clear that Makayla genuinely cared about Huey’s comfort, safety, and well-being. Knowing he was in such kind and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I trust Makayla completely with my fur babies and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Fantastic sitter. Always responsive and sends update photos. Is very caring and was flexible when my travel planes when topsy-turvy. Already looking at next bookings so my baby can go back to hang out with the pack.”
“At this point we joke that when Giz goes to Greg's house. That it's his vacation from us. He doesn't even look back when we drop him off. Might offer to share custody soon. In all seriousness, Greg has afforded us the ability to take trips again and know that without a shadow of a doubt that Giz is taken care off. He sends us action shots of the dogs and always gives us updates. We literally can not ask for more. He's the best.”
“I just have to give a HUGE shoutout to Charlene for being the absolute best dog sitter for my sweet Miss Ellie! From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing Ellie would be in great hands — and Charlene went above and beyond my expectations. She made sure Ellie ate well, was cared for with love and attention, and stayed happy and comfortable the entire time. I was so impressed by her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Charlene made it such a smooth and worry-free experience. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy, loving sitter, and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of cats since I was 15 years old! I love watching kitties and ensuring they receive cuddles, timely feedings and alone time if they are the solitude type. A fun fact about me is I raised a kitten from 3 days old, his name is Sigmund! I also have base access so I can help military families with their furry family members as well!
“Jamie was such a great kitty-sitter!!! She followed all the instructions, and loved up on them, so I knew my kitties were in good hands! It is the first time I hired someone to come into my home, so I was a little nervous. But Jamie exceeded my expectations! Highly recommended!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for many years. I have spent 10+ years with a Great Pyrenees and a Bernese Mountain Dog. I am reliable and calm around any dog. I currently work Mon-Fri during the day. I am available evenings and weekends. I can also make noon visits. I am flexible with my schedule and can work around client needs to care for their pet. I follow the normal routines/daily habits as explained by the clients. I am respectful of the pets, their needs and comfort, and the client's property.
About: My family has had cats since the day I was born and I’ve always been involved in their care, from quality time, providing a lap to nap, cleaning the litter box, feeding and watering them. In recent years one of my cats has developed allergies and had a series of bladder infections and I have helped administer her oral medications. I am patient, gentle, and a calm presence who can’t wait to be a crazy cat lady in her future (maybe already is a little bit).
“Sarai was wonderful. She went above and beyond for us and I am so grateful I found her on Rover. She was able to accommodate our last minute booking request, she communicated with us throughout our vacation, and she was great with our 5 cats. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always been a responsible pet owner since I was little and have had numerous unique pets growing up. I love pet sitting, walking, and taking care of them all as if they were my own 🩷 I am currently a substitute teacher and have some extra time and days I don’t have work so I have free time for walks and cuddles. I have always prioritized safety in my different occupations doing security and corrections most of my life. I take pride in people’s trust in me in different ways.
About: While I don’t have extensive experience with cats, I truly enjoy caring for them and getting to know their unique personalities. Back home, there’s a sweet stray cat in my neighborhood I named Tibi—I had the joy of feeding her, giving her attention, and making sure she felt safe and loved. I’ve also looked after a friend’s cat while she was out of town, checking in regularly to ensure everything was clean, calm, and comfortable. I may be more dog-experienced, but I always give cats the same level of care, attention, and affection!
About: What sets me apart from other cat sitters is my deep understanding and appreciation for feline behavior and needs. I prioritize creating a calm and enriching environment for cats, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure in my care. With my attentive approach, I am adept at recognizing and responding to subtle cues, ensuring each cat receives the individualized attention and affection they deserve. Additionally, my commitment to maintaining a clean and stimulating environment further enhances the well-being of the cats under my care.
“Andrea was wonderful. She took great care of our shy boy Julius and went above and beyond. We were so grateful to know we had someone kind, caring and responsible while we were away. We will definitely hire her again!”
About: Hi my name is Fanny! I have been caring for dogs for 12 years now! I also have experience caring for cats as well! I am born and raised in Hawaii and love hanging out with animals! I have been doing Rover since 2018 and love it! Big or small you name it! Please message me before booking your service and I will try my best to get back to you in a timely manner! I look forward to working with you and your pets! :) Pet care fits into my daily routine everyday! My dog biscuit is on a routine where we don’t really stray away from. It helps me ensure he’s taken care of but also to where I can get my things done as well! Before doing any sort of service I make sure I ask all the important questions to make sure your animals are well cared for and are comfortable!
About: Aloha! I (Ari) adopted "Dogtor" Juju on the Big Island of Hawai'i when he was just 6 weeks old. Before moving back to Orange County (where I was born and raised), Juju eventually became famous on the Big Island for his incredible ability to invite even the most aggressive dogs to feel safe -- including known "killer" dogs, antisocial dogs who hadn't made a single friend in their entire lives, and older dogs with terminal illnesses who hadn't wagged their tails in months. For this valued skill, which makes communities safer and more joyful for all beings, he earned the nickname “the Killer Whisperer.” Play is so important for dogs, and is absolutely healing when it comes to building confidence and trust. Juju helps other dogs break their aggressive or antisocial patterns, and his methods are tailored to each dog’s unique temperament. A healing session might look like him just coexisting calmly in the same space with your dog without any of the habitual tension that may typically be experienced with other dogs. I’ve been told by hundreds of owners that Juju is the first friend their antisocial or aggressive dogs have ever had. Results will carry over to how your dog will interact with other dogs in the future, as they will now have experience with non-violent dog-to-dog interactions. Dogtor Juju is great with puppies, too -- with his sensitive approach tailored to each dog's temperament (he is great at reading body language cues), he models social etiquette and harmonious co-existing with other dogs and humans. Dogtor Juju facilitates group play as well between dogs who have never met before, de-escalating tension and creating an atmosphere where all dogs feel safe to connect non-violently. I have had dogs ever since I can remember, and began cat-sitting at 10 years old. I adopted an intuitive approach in training Juju, using primarily vocal commands to teach Juju recall skills and safe off-leash play. I am also a musician and have witnessed beautiful moments of de-escalation with aggressive dogs through playing my ukulele or singing (which breaks patterns of barking and sends soothing sound waves into situations of high tension). I’ve done a bunch of dog-sitting and walking jobs in Hawaii (outside of the Rover app), and I truly love getting to know each unique being I take care of, and creating rituals of familiarity with them (through providing structure and patterns of what to expect) so they feel safe to explore and play. If you're looking for a holistic pet care experience, you can count on me & Juju to bring a sense of playful joy and trust to your furry friend. We would be honored to provide your companion a transformative care experience that will build social confidence for years to come. Ari & Juju just moved to Orange County and currently have a wide-open schedule to take on new clients. We would love to develop a regular relationship with your pet. We are particularly interested in jobs that entail dog-walking, drop-in visits (especially if you have an outdoor area for the dogs to play/co-exist together), and house/dog-sitting. My care centers around creating patterns of familiarity with your dog, facilitated by Juju’s joy and sense of trust! We would be happy to take your furry friend out to parks and trails for on-leash outings (or off-leash play if you're comfortable in secure areas -- I look forward to understanding your preferences and desires!). Juju loves to walk on-leash with another dog. I am sensitive to the bonding and trust-building process, and I prioritize creating routines and rituals with new dogs to create a sense of stability while owners are away or traveling.
About: As someone with lifelong experience caring for felines, I understand that life tends to run a little more smoothly when you follow a cat’s lead. My love for cats has been lifelong, with hands‑on experience training kittens and providing attentive senior care, including caring for my own 17‑year‑old cat.
About: I have always loved animals especially dogs. I previously worked at Camp Bow Wow and over the years I’ve become the “DD” in my friend group. Designated dog sitter! 🤣 So I figured why not make it an actual job of mine to have slumber parties with puppers all the time? I only work 4 days a week, which are Saturday through Tuesday mornings. And I almost always only work about six hours at a time. I can kennel your baby at night if they are crate trained OR they can snuggle up to me at night, whatever you prefer. I have a huge back yard but it’s not fenced in completely because the driveway wraps around to the back on one side. So whenever I’m dog sitting I usually just walk the baby around Overton Park. A tired dog is a happy one. I can feed according to whatever schedule you have set including special instructions or medications.
“I am grateful for Malia’s excellent and professional communication. She was willing to make the time and the trip over to meet me in person before i booked her. Once she was there, i love how quickly my cats warmed up to Malia! She send me excellent pictures during her visits. She was attentive to their needs and made sure my cats were take care of. I will definitely be booking her again.”

“Arianah is a wonderful sitter for Levi. She always gets him to eat all his food and takes care of him like her own dogs! Levi loves hanging out with her when I have to work.”
“Very friendly and accommodating of a trip to San Antonio. Received pictures of the dogs playing and updated throughout the stay. Highly recommend. Great fenced yard to play in and inside playroom to cool off. Would book again if in the area.”
About: Aloha! We’re Corina and David – your first‑class dog sitters and your pup’s second family. We are a dependable team who treats every dog like our own. We work from home full‑time, so your pup gets tons of attention, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles all day long. We provide a quiet, warm loving, air conditioned and very clean home with a large, fully fenced yard with turf, perfect for safe play and relaxing outside. We don’t have children, but we do share our home with our Pomeranian, who enjoys calm, well‑mannered dog friends. To keep things peaceful and low‑stress, we only care for one guest dog at a time, so your pup always gets truly personal attention. We’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes – from bouncy puppies who need structure and patience to sweet seniors who need a gentler pace and extra support. We’re confident giving basic medications and following detailed feeding and exercise routines, so your dog can stay on their normal schedule while you’re away. We’re new to Rover, but we’re not new to loving and caring for dogs, and we’re excited to build long‑term relationships with pet parents in our community. Pet parents who know us describe us as calm, caring, responsible, and very easy to work with. We keep you in the loop with regular photo and video updates, so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, loved, and having fun. Since we work from home full‑time, pet care is built into our entire day. Your fur-baby starts with a morning potty break and some gentle play or a short walk to get their wiggles out, then they hang out with us while we work, with regular breaks for attention, cuddles, and outside time. In the afternoon and early evening, we do another round of walks or backyard play, dinner on their normal schedule, and then wind‑down snuggles so they can relax and feel at home before bedtime. In our home, safety and comfort come first. We live in a quiet, clean, loving home with a large, fully fenced yard with turf, so dogs can enjoy fresh air and playtime in a secure space. We don’t have children, and we only host one guest dog at a time, which keeps things calm, low‑stress, and focused on your pup. Our own 7.5‑year‑old Pomeranian is friendly with calm, respectful dogs, and we do a careful meet & greet to be sure everyone is a good match before a stay. We follow your dog’s normal routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and bedtime, and we’re comfortable giving basic medications and following detailed instructions. Doors, gates, and leashes are always double‑checked, and we supervise outdoor time so your dog is never left unattended in the yard. We know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your furry family member, so we keep communication open and easy. We send regular photo and video updates, let you know how your dog is settling in, and reach out with any questions. Our goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your dog is safe, loved, and cared for like our own.
“Selena was a great daycare host for my dog. Mr Pickles came home happy and relaxed and I will definitely book again. Selena was easy to communicate with, is knowledgeable about dogs and is a great sitter.”
“This is the first time I left Snuggles at Tracey's home. He was there for only 4 hours to try out. Tracey's mom sent lots of photos within those 4 hours. Snuggles came home relaxed, seemed to have a great time at Tracey's home. Will try to leave Snuggles for a longer time next visit until he gets adjusted to stay overnight.”
About: I’ve had my own pets since I was young. I have a turtle and a cat but unfortunately, I just lost my second family dog of old age and my first due to cancer. I’m not quite ready for a dog just yet but I’d love to be around them more! I make my own schedule right now so I have a lot of time to play and hangout with pets! I also walk everyday so it would be nice to have a companion! In my home now, it would be easy to care for a smaller dog since I live in a condo but I live right on the canal with a very lengthy path for walking pets!
About: I know that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re family. That’s why I provide loving, reliable, and stress-free dog-sitting services tailored to your pup’s needs. Whether you’re away for a few hours or an extended trip, you can count on me to offer attentive care, regular exercise, and plenty of belly rubs. With a passion for animals and years of experience, I ensure your furry friend stays happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Book with me today and give your dog the care they deserve! I’m currently a SAHM so my schedule is typically open. I do however only watch one dog at a time to provide them with a comfortable stay. They must have a bed or kennel provided with their stay. I will follow special instructions, if needed. I feed them, take them on walks, play with them, pet and cuddle them. Maybe, take them on a car ride if they like that.
“We are so grateful for the care Cora received during daycare. She’s a 1.5-year-old Aussie with lots of energy, and our sitter was incredible about keeping us updated throughout the day with photos and messages. Daisy was also so kind and accommodating, especially knowing we had just lost our senior dog. It meant more than she probably realized during a really emotional time for us. We felt completely at ease knowing Cora was in such loving hands. Highly recommend.”
“I never used Rover before and I am a helicopter dog mom but Haily made me feel comfortable. I love the video and pictures that i get throughout the day she’s with him. Milo (my puppy) absolutely loves going to doggy daycare with her.”
“Truffles always has fun with Lily & family. They take such great care of him, filling the afternoon with lots of fun activities and play, with many pictures to show all the fun he is having.”
About: Hi, I’m Chloe! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds, and caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have 3 cats and 1 dog, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and energy levels! I’ve also cared for family and friends’ pets for years, helping with walks, feeding, and keeping them company. I really love animals and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Since I’m not currently working, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets my full attention. I’m home a lot, so I’m able to keep a close eye on them, stick to their routines, and make sure they get lots of care, playtime, and company throughout the day I live in a townhouse with my dog Roxy and my three kittens. Roxy is a small Chihuahua, very energetic, friendly, and used to being around other animals. My cats are also very social and comfortable in a multi-pet home. It’s a calm, pet-friendly space where animals are part of everyday life. I also love staying active with walks, trips to the dog park, and going to the beach when the weather’s nice. Pets staying with me would get lots of attention, care, and companionship in a safe, relaxed environment (with lots of cuddles)
“Truffles had such a lovely time with Sherrie & family. They took such great care of him, giving lots of love and play and activities for him to do. He has lots of great memories, and I definitely recommend Sherrie and will rebook.”
“Sierra was great - easy communication, even with our last minute request. Miles definitely played a lot and came home tired and happy. We would definitely recommend having Sierra watch your pup!”
“Aris took such great care of my little fur baby. She was very nurturing and so kind. She sent updates often and gave my baby all of her attention. I would definitely recommend! Thank you Aris for taking care of Sammie! She had so much fun with you! ❤️”

“Nichole has been great! We needed last minute help with our young puppy. She was super responsive from the get go, and was able to accommodate us on fairly short notice. We have felt very comfortable with our puppy in her care and will definitely use her help again in the future.”
About: I had dogs since I was very young. As a child, I wanted to grow up to become a vet, but I realized I'm allergic to cats, and some dogs. Even with allergies I'll still watch them because I love them and that's what allergy pills are for 😆. Care taking animals at home is one of my dream jobs, and I'm very lucky to be able to have a safe space for my furry friends to hang out at. I've been fostering with Paws of Hawaii for almost 3 years. I love being able to help provide a home to those in need, and it's so much fun seeing all the different personalities. I just love being surrounded by dogs. I like to train simple and fun tricks with them! My house basically became a doggy day care with fosters and dog sitting my friends furbabies! I'm currently working part time for music and acting so I have a lot of time. I spend most days hanging out with my dog, a foster, and sometimes my friends dog when I get asked to dogsit. I have a fenced yard, 1 dog of my own, and usually 1 foster or 2 fosters. We hang out multiple times a day out in the yard, to play and relax. They are allowed to roam around the house, I'm very attentive. I also have a crate for when I need to leave the house. All dogs are crate trained, and fed in the crate at my house. I change out the water frequently and give them filtered water.
About: I've always been the girl on the street to watch neighbors dogs, pigs,kids,farm animals, you name it. Last year I moved to the Big Island and house sat a farm for 10 months ( there were donkeys, chickens,cats and dogs there that I took car of). I have a golden retriever of my own and grew up around all sorts of animals. I'm also Vegan so you'll know there in good hands <3. I work part time and have weekends off, I usually take my dog on hikes or to the beach every single day. I work 10 minutes from my house and my shits are 4 hours long, I have 2 roommates that could also help take them potty if I'm working. I have a fenced in yard and a safe environment for your pets. Your pets have to be friendly with other dogs because I have a year old golden retriever .
“Piya is wonderful! We truly appreciate her flexibility when taking care of our sweet Bella while we went on a family boat ride. I’d definitely ask her again to take care of our little one. Thank you Piya! :-)”
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. From dogs, cats and horses. I’m experienced with senior dogs to puppies. Experienced with medication administration. Available for last minute drop ins to weekend sitting. Look forward to meeting your fur babies. I currently work a very flexible full time job. I work a day shift. My husband works graveyard. So someone will always be with your pet I live in a dog friendly apartment that is on the first floor so is ideal for senior dogs having hard time walking. I will ensure they are walked and feed when needed. If baths or medication is needed to be administered I am able to do this as well.

About: i’ve trained all 4 of my dogs and i’m on my way to be getting my vet tech so i absolutely love all types of animals. I also raised 8 puppies when my dog gave birth. my work and schooling are both very flexible to im available fairly often especially mornings before ten or eleven especially for walks or quick visits i currently have two dogs, a few reptiles, and chickens but i’ve cared for many types of animals and have limited medical knowledge on most mammals and reptiles
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I’ve been taking care of my childhood dog since I was five years old, and over the years I’ve also cared for my sister’s puppy and dogs belonging to close friends. This has given me a deep understanding of how different dogs require different levels of care, patience, and attention I know that every dog parent has their own preferences, so I always follow each dog’s usual routine, training cues, and care instructions. I’m very active and love providing long walks and playtime for high-energy dogs, while also being gentle and attentive with senior dogs who may need a slower pace. I always send photo and video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. If you’d like, I’m also happy to include fun extras like a beach day or a bath—whatever helps your dog feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m a freelance photographer with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available on most weekdays to spend quality time with your pups and take them on walks. I’m also very active, so if your dog has lots of energy and enjoys long walks or runs, I’d be happy to keep up and give them the exercise they need! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages and needs. Through this, I’ve learned that every dog, and every pet parent, has unique preferences and routines. I make it a priority to follow each dog’s usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest so they feel comfortable and well cared for. Whether a dog needs extra cuddle time, gentle care, or lots of activity, I’m attentive to their individual needs and always aim to provide a safe, loving, and familiar environment.
About: I have been watching dogs and cats since I was 15 years old! I have experience with many ages, breeds and sizes! I love making sure each pet I work with is treated as if they were my own pet. I have base access as well so if you are military and need assistance, I am here to help with your furry family members! I am currently working part time and on summer break from college! I work mornings so I am home in the afternoon and evenings. I have my own car for transportation. I like to ensure your pet has everything they need to be comfortable. I live in a walkable neighborhood so your dog will get plenty of walks! I like to prioritize keeping your pets routine as close as possible to what it is when with you to ensure your pet is as stress free as possible!
About: I had dogs since I was very young. As a child, I wanted to grow up to become a vet, but I realized I'm allergic to cats, and some dogs. Even with allergies I'll still watch them because I love them and that's what allergy pills are for 😆. Care taking animals at home is one of my dream jobs, and I'm very lucky to be able to have a safe space for my furry friends to hang out at. I've been fostering with Paws of Hawaii for almost 3 years. I love being able to help provide a home to those in need, and it's so much fun seeing all the different personalities. I just love being surrounded by dogs. I like to train simple and fun tricks with them! My house basically became a doggy day care with fosters and dog sitting my friends furbabies! I'm currently working part time for music and acting so I have a lot of time. I spend most days hanging out with my dog, a foster, and sometimes my friends dog when I get asked to dogsit. I have a fenced yard, 1 dog of my own, and usually 1 foster or 2 fosters. We hang out multiple times a day out in the yard, to play and relax. They are allowed to roam around the house, I'm very attentive. I also have a crate for when I need to leave the house. All dogs are crate trained, and fed in the crate at my house. I change out the water frequently and give them filtered water.
About: Hello, My husband works as a scientist and I work for the department of education as an athletic trainer. We have a 2 and 5 year old that love animals. I am comfortable giving injections or pills if need be. We like to stay as active as possible and go on hikes, beach, walks as much as we can. The area we live is safe and quite place. There is a duck pond right next store and a park right across the street. My husband and I have been pet lovers since we were kids. He was raised with cats, birds and dog. While I was raised with dogs. We recently lost our English Bulldog of twelve years and even though we would like to get another dog in the future we would be happy watching your pets in the mean time. We do have little kids. They are 2 and 4 years old. We would prefer to watching dogs that are use to little kids. I don't work till the afternoon so morning walks are a must. My goal is to tire them out in the beginning on the day. Your pets are like our family. They are allowed on couches and beds. They will be loved like I love my kids. thank you very much
About: I’ve always had pets of my own and love to give them the best care of their needs, whether it’s love & affection to mental or physical stimulation, I’m ready to enjoy the day with them, Your pup will have so much fun with my dog (Oreo) & I. We hike daily and if your pup is active, they are more than welcome to join us on any hikes that we do! Or if they just like simple short walks that’s great too! I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible, as long as I know ahead of time, we can work out a schedule that works out! I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks or for play time. If your dog is crate trained during the night and you wish to continue, I have medium size crate but you are welcome to drop off their own crate with them, if they like to rest in their own crate, otherwise they are free to roam around the house and rest anywhere! Does your dog have any allergies to food/other things? or is reactive with another dog, or around food? • please let me know in advance so I can take precautions. I love updates of what my pup is doing throughout the day, when I’m not with her, so if you love getting updates of pictures of your pup throughout the day or at the end of the day just let me know!
About: Aloha! I (Ari) adopted "Dogtor" Juju on the Big Island of Hawai'i when he was just 6 weeks old. Before moving back to Orange County (where I was born and raised), Juju eventually became famous on the Big Island for his incredible ability to invite even the most aggressive dogs to feel safe -- including known "killer" dogs, antisocial dogs who hadn't made a single friend in their entire lives, and older dogs with terminal illnesses who hadn't wagged their tails in months. For this valued skill, which makes communities safer and more joyful for all beings, he earned the nickname “the Killer Whisperer.” Play is so important for dogs, and is absolutely healing when it comes to building confidence and trust. Juju helps other dogs break their aggressive or antisocial patterns, and his methods are tailored to each dog’s unique temperament. A healing session might look like him just coexisting calmly in the same space with your dog without any of the habitual tension that may typically be experienced with other dogs. I’ve been told by hundreds of owners that Juju is the first friend their antisocial or aggressive dogs have ever had. Results will carry over to how your dog will interact with other dogs in the future, as they will now have experience with non-violent dog-to-dog interactions. Dogtor Juju is great with puppies, too -- with his sensitive approach tailored to each dog's temperament (he is great at reading body language cues), he models social etiquette and harmonious co-existing with other dogs and humans. Dogtor Juju facilitates group play as well between dogs who have never met before, de-escalating tension and creating an atmosphere where all dogs feel safe to connect non-violently. I have had dogs ever since I can remember, and began cat-sitting at 10 years old. I adopted an intuitive approach in training Juju, using primarily vocal commands to teach Juju recall skills and safe off-leash play. I am also a musician and have witnessed beautiful moments of de-escalation with aggressive dogs through playing my ukulele or singing (which breaks patterns of barking and sends soothing sound waves into situations of high tension). I’ve done a bunch of dog-sitting and walking jobs in Hawaii (outside of the Rover app), and I truly love getting to know each unique being I take care of, and creating rituals of familiarity with them (through providing structure and patterns of what to expect) so they feel safe to explore and play. If you're looking for a holistic pet care experience, you can count on me & Juju to bring a sense of playful joy and trust to your furry friend. We would be honored to provide your companion a transformative care experience that will build social confidence for years to come. Ari & Juju just moved to Orange County and currently have a wide-open schedule to take on new clients. We would love to develop a regular relationship with your pet. We are particularly interested in jobs that entail dog-walking, drop-in visits (especially if you have an outdoor area for the dogs to play/co-exist together), and house/dog-sitting. My care centers around creating patterns of familiarity with your dog, facilitated by Juju’s joy and sense of trust! We would be happy to take your furry friend out to parks and trails for on-leash outings (or off-leash play if you're comfortable in secure areas -- I look forward to understanding your preferences and desires!). Juju loves to walk on-leash with another dog. I am sensitive to the bonding and trust-building process, and I prioritize creating routines and rituals with new dogs to create a sense of stability while owners are away or traveling.
“Christina is a terrific caregiver to my older dog Bella. Bella loves taking walks with her. She knows Bella is up in age and is very careful to walk slowly with her. Christina is always on time and is excellent about letting me know how Bella did on her walk. I feel lucky to have found her to take care of my fur baby!”
“Malia was professional, punctual and communicative throughout the process. Highly recommend her! We’ll certainly be using her services again! Thank you Malia for caring for our dog, Rio.”

About: Most recently in March 2022, I enjoyed housesitting a sharpei for 3 weeks. Before that I housesat a very adorable golden doodle for a week. In 2021, my friends would often leave their dogs with me when they would travel lasting from days - weeks. I recently completed the Google UX Design Certificate. Therefore, I’ll be job hunting full time; I have time throughout the day to walk, feed, and hang out with your dog! Since I will be housesitting, your dog will be familiar and comfortable in their own home, decreasing the possibility of anxiety and maximizing their comfort!
About: Aloha! We’re Corina and David – your first‑class dog sitters and your pup’s second family. We are a dependable team who treats every dog like our own. We work from home full‑time, so your pup gets tons of attention, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles all day long. We provide a quiet, warm loving, air conditioned and very clean home with a large, fully fenced yard with turf, perfect for safe play and relaxing outside. We don’t have children, but we do share our home with our Pomeranian, who enjoys calm, well‑mannered dog friends. To keep things peaceful and low‑stress, we only care for one guest dog at a time, so your pup always gets truly personal attention. We’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes – from bouncy puppies who need structure and patience to sweet seniors who need a gentler pace and extra support. We’re confident giving basic medications and following detailed feeding and exercise routines, so your dog can stay on their normal schedule while you’re away. We’re new to Rover, but we’re not new to loving and caring for dogs, and we’re excited to build long‑term relationships with pet parents in our community. Pet parents who know us describe us as calm, caring, responsible, and very easy to work with. We keep you in the loop with regular photo and video updates, so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, loved, and having fun. Since we work from home full‑time, pet care is built into our entire day. Your fur-baby starts with a morning potty break and some gentle play or a short walk to get their wiggles out, then they hang out with us while we work, with regular breaks for attention, cuddles, and outside time. In the afternoon and early evening, we do another round of walks or backyard play, dinner on their normal schedule, and then wind‑down snuggles so they can relax and feel at home before bedtime. In our home, safety and comfort come first. We live in a quiet, clean, loving home with a large, fully fenced yard with turf, so dogs can enjoy fresh air and playtime in a secure space. We don’t have children, and we only host one guest dog at a time, which keeps things calm, low‑stress, and focused on your pup. Our own 7.5‑year‑old Pomeranian is friendly with calm, respectful dogs, and we do a careful meet & greet to be sure everyone is a good match before a stay. We follow your dog’s normal routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and bedtime, and we’re comfortable giving basic medications and following detailed instructions. Doors, gates, and leashes are always double‑checked, and we supervise outdoor time so your dog is never left unattended in the yard. We know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your furry family member, so we keep communication open and easy. We send regular photo and video updates, let you know how your dog is settling in, and reach out with any questions. Our goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your dog is safe, loved, and cared for like our own.
About: Aloha! I’m Ayla, a lifetime dog and cat lover. I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and always had the responsibility of feeding, potty breaks, walking, and grooming my fur baby’s! I’d love to help look after your pets and I will always make sure your pet is properly taken care of while providing lots of cute photos. I’m currently working part time and am a student - but I make plenty of time for furry friends! I do most school work from home so your pet will always be in good company. My schedule is flexible and can accept requests on short notice! I live in an apartment, it’s a quiet, cozy environment for your furry friend. No yard ensures constant dedicated walks and indoor play. Safe and cozy home for small/medium pups!
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, and from a young age I learned to understand their personalities, rhythms, and unique ways of communicating. That natural sensitivity isn’t something you learn later in life—it’s something you grow up with. I’m a geographer with studies in biology and a master’s degree in territorial development, which gives me a deeper understanding of animal behavior, environment, and safety. My life has always been connected to nature. I rock climb and hike regularly, so if your pet is active, I can offer exploration, movement, and outdoor experiences. If your pet prefers calm, I provide routine, stability, and a peaceful environment. I adapt with patience to every temperament, from the most independent and reserved to the most affectionate and curious. My experience as a teacher strengthened my empathy, calm communication, and ability to create trust. I can also administer non‑injectable medications and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel at ease. I chose pet care because it brings me back to what’s real, simple, and full of heart. When your dog or cat stays with me, they’ll be treated with love, respect, and dedication—like part of my ʻohana. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to whatever your pet needs. I’m available in the mornings, throughout the day, and in the evenings, including weekends. When possible, I also accept last‑minute requests. My priority is keeping your dog or cat on a stable routine, with steady company and a safe, calm environment. I only offer pet care in the client’s home and adventure walks, because I believe pets feel safer and more relaxed when they stay in their own familiar environment. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly as they know it—feeding times, medication, play, rest, and any special instructions. I respect your home’s rules and adapt to your pet’s temperament, whether they’re independent, shy, or very affectionate. I also offer adventure walks, ideal for active dogs who enjoy exploring, hiking, or releasing energy in nature. Thanks to my experience with hiking and climbing, I guide them with calm attention, safety, and responsibility. In both cases, I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My priority is creating stability, trust, and a caring environment wherever your pet feels most at home.
“Shannon B. treated my boy Tuna like her own. She even took him to his favorite spot: the dog park! Her service is top notch and she is reliable as a walker or sitter. Will definitely book her again and would reccomend her to a friend.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Luna and will definitely contact her again for any dog walking/sitting needs! Communication was exceptional with daily updates and photos. There was a lot of unexpected changes while we were away and Luna was super accommodating. This was our first time using Rover and feel like we hit the jackpot with her! Thank you so much Luna! You went above and beyond for us and we truly appreciate it! Mahalo Nui!”

“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! In fact, she's such a great sitter that I almost hesitate to write this review because selfishly, I'd love to keep her availability to myself! This was our very first time leaving our puppy with a sitter, and naturally we were a little nervous. Samantha immediately put our minds at ease. Before our trip, she took the time to meet with us and show us where our puppy would be staying in her home, which made us feel so much more comfortable and confident. While we were away for nearly two weeks, Samantha kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos. It meant so much to know our puppy was happy, safe, and well cared for while we were gone. What impressed us even more was that she actually helped reinforce our puppy's potty training during our time away. We came home to a puppy who had continued making progress, which was such a pleasant surprise! Samantha is truly a sweetheart, and it's obvious that she has a genuine love for animals and a heart for what she does. The care, attention, and affection she showed our puppy exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful we came across Samantha and couldn't recommend her more highly. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Makayla was absolutely wonderful with Huey! From the moment I booked, her communication was exactly what every pet parent hopes for when leaving their dog in someone else’s care. She sent regular updates and photos, asked thoughtful questions whenever she needed clarification, and was proactive about sharing any concerns related to his care. I booked on very short notice and still received top-tier service. It was clear that Makayla genuinely cared about Huey’s comfort, safety, and well-being. Knowing he was in such kind and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I trust Makayla completely with my fur babies and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Fantastic sitter. Always responsive and sends update photos. Is very caring and was flexible when my travel planes when topsy-turvy. Already looking at next bookings so my baby can go back to hang out with the pack.”
“At this point we joke that when Giz goes to Greg's house. That it's his vacation from us. He doesn't even look back when we drop him off. Might offer to share custody soon. In all seriousness, Greg has afforded us the ability to take trips again and know that without a shadow of a doubt that Giz is taken care off. He sends us action shots of the dogs and always gives us updates. We literally can not ask for more. He's the best.”
“I just have to give a HUGE shoutout to Charlene for being the absolute best dog sitter for my sweet Miss Ellie! From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing Ellie would be in great hands — and Charlene went above and beyond my expectations. She made sure Ellie ate well, was cared for with love and attention, and stayed happy and comfortable the entire time. I was so impressed by her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Charlene made it such a smooth and worry-free experience. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy, loving sitter, and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“KaVina was ABSOLUTELY amazing with my l lil man (Deuce). She kept the pics & videos coming. You could see the joy in my dogs eyes in the pictures & videos, I feel like my guy was truly able to live like he was at home. She took him for walks & played tug of war with him & kept him happy. I would definitely use her services again because she made him feel at home.”
“Brianda has become the only Rover we use on Oahu, she has had our big Pit mix multiple times and I swear our dog is better behaved with her. The communication is always quick and straightforward and the care is great. Thanks Brianda!”
“Kea would love to stay with Katharine and David again. He was very well taken care of. He was able to go on an adventure. He liked having his walks and making new friends!”
“Our pup was so loved and well cared for with Jessica and her family. She got lots of exercise and outdoor time and lots of cuddles. So greatly appreciated! Will definitely use her again.”
“Krysta and Peter are wonderful people and were so easy to work with! They took the best care of our dog Luna. We will always go back to them for any of our future dog sitting needs in the Kailua area😄 They were so thoughtful, kept us updated with great photos, and reassured us that we had nothing to worry about, given it being our first time using the app. Highly recommend!”
“Although my dog was traumatized and stayed in his kennel most of the times..because he was afraid of her 2 dogs..Lily gave him the best care ...and kept me up to date on his progress.”
“Kalea and Bryant were amazing watching our dog, Dexter! This was our first time having him stay at someone’s house but they quickly put my mind at ease. They sent daily updates with photos/videos that showed Dexter was having a great time. I could tell he looked very happy staying with them. I would definitely book with them again in the future!”
“Christine provided great care to my pampered pet. He bonded with her husband (rather than her dogs) and was his constant shadow. Sending me photos and updates during my trip eased my concerns. When we dropped Bailey off, it was raining and he whimpered as if we were abandoning him. The updates proved my worries were needless.”
“Abigail and her family took wonderful care of our dog, Yuzu, while we were away for two weeks. Daily photos including trips to the beach and the park put our minds at ease, and we would definitely have Yuzu stay with her family again in the future!”
“Yvette was truly great! The pups had a wonderful time with her and she gave daily updates. She was very accommodating to my last minute changing schedule. Was so happy to have been able to book her and love on the pups!”
“Kate and her military family were absolutely wonderful with Kaila! They kept us updated with detailed notes and plenty of pictures throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. The location is super convenient—right across from the airport—and the whole family treated Kaila with such kindness and care. They were very communicative and easy to work with, and it was a huge plus that they also have doodles, so Kaila felt right at home. They followed her strict diet perfectly and made sure she was comfortable the entire time. I would highly recommend Kate and her family to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter—and we’ll definitely be asking them to care for Kaila again in the future!”
“My dog had the best time with Lauren and her family. First I worried a little because my dog didn’t have much experience with small children but turned out to be just fine. I was so grateful that they took care of my dog so well. I could tell in her face(my dog) that she had a great time with them. Mahalo Lauren!”
