I visited Randy at her home beforehand and immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She welcomed us with a very friendly dog, and it was clear right away that she truly loves dogs (and other animals). Her place is wonderful for dogs — spacious, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. Randy is warm, friendly, calm, compassionate, and very accommodating to your needs. I’m sure my dog had a great time with her and made some new dog friends. I would happily leave my dog with her again. I also briefly met her husband, and he seemed very kind and sweet. Thank you, Randy and William, for taking such good care of my dog!

Alex was awesome, handled Azumi's new medical issue well and took good care of both dogs while we were away. They were happy, tired, and ready for a long nap when we all got home. And Alex was flexible about pick up when we got stuck in traffic getting back to town. Very happy!

This was my first experience using Rover and a pet sitter. Diane was incredible and took care of our Loki with such short notice. She and her husband, Jeff, we’re so kind, accommodating, and genuinely love animals. Diane kept me informed of Loki‘s daily activities and also sent pictures that assured us he was having a wonderful time. I would highly recommend her and her services to anyone in need of a sitter.

Kathy helped change my puppys life! After meeting with her, we brought our puppy over for daycare and he was so happy. She sent me updates throughout the day and reassured me that she was working with him as well. Then she was able to help us by boarding him for the weekend and I have never seen him happier! I was at ease knowing he was in good hands!

About: I have had both cats and dogs since I was in Kindergarten. Friends and neighbors have trusted me with their pet care needs for years. I have been on Rover for over 3 years now and am a trusted and reliable sitter. I oftentimes watch senior dogs, some with medical needs. I am very attuned to what animals need and give them tons of love and attention. It is a reciprocal relationship where we both appreciate the company and cuddles. When boarding dogs, my mom also loves dogs and is able to provide them with much love and attention when I need to be at work. She lives in the house and enjoys helping out with our furry guests. Your pet will most likely not be alone for more than an hour. I am very active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I always adhere to the pup's acitivity level and age. I have also cared for a neglected pitbull terrier in my old neighborhood. The dog was chained all the time and not cared for. I asked the owners if I could walk him daily. I have removed ticks and groomed him in an effort to provide some much needed attention and TLC. I have sought out medical care for the dog and helped to build a better shelter. I have also worked to educate the family on what it means to be a dog owner and treat the pup like a family member. Dogs just yearn to protect and be close to thier pack (owners). I still walk him to this day even though I know longer live in the neighborhood. The dog can be aggressive with other people and animals but is always affectionate towards me. I had to train the dog how to walk on a leash as it had not been walked in years. At first, the dog was a bit wild and did not know what to do. Now, he can heel and listens to commands. He even sits for some treats! I know how to use caution and practice safety measures when walking the dog so that others and the aggressive dog are kept safe and unharmed. I have a bleeding heart for animals. I am great with animals of all ages, personalities, and fitness levels! I am a social worker and love to give pets as much attention as possible! I am sensitive to their needs and always make sure your pet is comfortable. I treat them as one of my own. I am available to dog-sit/ house-sit or board most dogs as long as they are house trained.

About: Animal lover for life! Happy to have the chance to provide quality care for your furry friends. I’ve been a dog caretaker since my youth, as well as many years as a cat caretaker, too. I’ve cared for pets through sickness and health and I am qualified to administer medical injections. Being self-employed means I have a flexible schedule for pet care needs. Daily walks are part of the routine. In addition to frequenting local dog parks, I love to hike on nearby trails, such as Powell Butte and Sandy River Delta. I’ve trained several puppies and would be glad to work with you on implementing your training protocols. I have a fully fenced yard for added security during play dates or sleepovers. Looking forward to meeting your animal friends!!

About: Aloha! I'm Shanon, a naturopathic physician who loves to take care of pets in people's homes. I began caring for my neighbor's cat when I was 10 years old, graduating to dog care in my teens. Since then I have done pet sits in many states and countries, seeing some pets through their lifetimes. My clients have included dogs, cats, bunnies, tortoises, snails, fish and birds. I have also cared for chickens and horses and am willing to look after small farm animals such as goats and sheep. If requested, I take care of gardens/plants, mail/packages and any other issues that may arise while you are gone. Want local or distance references? There are many. Please ask for them! I look forward to hearing from you. Aloha, Shanon Much of my work is online so that I can spend the maximum amount of time with your furry, feathered and scaled friends - I aim to be at home 75% of the time. I treat all pets as my own so they get the attention, love and care they deserve. My services can also include administering medication (pills, subcutaneous injections for cats, insulin shots etc). I strive for your home to be in the same, if not better condition than when you left, and for your pets to be as well-tended to when you are away as when you are home.

About: My dog is my baby. If I could take her every place possible, just know she’d be by my side. She is my family. Let me take your dog out and treat them with as much love and care as I do for my dog💙 I wake up early in the mornings and take my dog out on a walk as well as when I get home from work. We take long walks and stop to take in all that nature has to offer. We often head over to the dog park to play with the other puppers and it’s her favorite time of day. My dog is currently indoors but I do spend quite a bunch of time outside with her as well. We have a small yard that we are planning on fencing in so my dog has more place to run and play.

About: My dog of 15 years (lab mix) died a few years ago. I miss her, but travel a few times a year and don't want to leave a dog that long. I have lots of love to give and I love walking with a dog. I have extensive house and dog sitting experience with references. I send owners photos of their happy pups while caring for your pet as if were my own. I work at home (writer and online teacher) so your pet will be by my side during the day and we will take frequent walks together, if your pet likes that. I work at home and walk several times a day so I can bring your pet with me if they’d like to go for a walk. I’m also affectionate with animals, and they are affectionate with me so cuddles will be on the agenda. I have a park nearby and access to nearby home wirh fenced where I could visit with your pet so they could run around even more.

Wow, amazing! Super pet sitter! Christopher took excellent care of our cat AND our vacation home. Gordie, our cat, bonded with Christopher. He seemed to be sad that Christopher had to leave. Also Christopher identified, and cleaned up, the source of a musty, mildew smell we had been unable to locate. We returned to a fresh smelling, clean home and very happy cat. Thank you Christopher!

About: I have a deep commitment to providing exceptional care for dogs, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being through a structured routine that includes regular exercise, play time, proper nutrition, and social interactions. My experience includes working with various breeds and temperaments, allowing me to help each pup with their time away from home. I prioritize open communication with pet families, keeping you informed with pictures and notes of your pet’s time away from home. I am currently working on welcoming more dogs & raising my two daughters. I have a flexible schedule during the day which allows me to be home with the dogs. I have a double fenced yard; one large yard area and second smaller dog play yard. I also have multiple types of dog housing available depending on your pets needs. Most importantly your dogs will be able to socialize with my dogs, children and be comfortable in a very clean organized space while they’re visiting.

Alexander was caring and kind to our little pup, Koa. He was intentional and slow in introducing the dogs to each other. He has a large, fully fenced-in backyard, but for this first dog sitting, he brought Koa out on a leash in the yard and for a walk around the neighborhood. Alexander was accommodating and flexible with pick-up/drop-off times and was available with short notice. We will book with him again.

About: As a graduate of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa with a major in Marine Biology and Animal Behavior, I bring a unique understanding of animal care to every pet I work with. My academic background has given me insight into animal needs, communication, and behavior, which helps me provide attentive and compassionate care. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet needing extra patience, I tailor my approach to suit their individual personalities. With my passion for animals and a professional, science-based perspective, you can trust your furry family members are in expert hands. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I have two large dogs and a cat, so my day revolves around their feeding, exercise, and playtime needs. Each morning, I ensure they get their walks, followed by meal times and any grooming sessions needed. I also make time for cuddles and attention to keep them happy and healthy. Weekly, I focus on additional activities like training sessions for the dogs and extra care for the cat. My pets’ well-being is my top priority, and their routine is an essential part of my day-to-day life. In my home, I provide a safe and spacious environment for pets, with a 6,000 sq ft backyard fully enclosed by a 6 ft high fence, ensuring they can play and explore freely. I have two friendly, well-trained dogs – a German Shepherd and a Labrador – who stay outdoors and do not enter the rooms. I also have a cat that lives in the rooms and has grown up alongside the dogs, so they all get along harmoniously. For clients, I maintain their pets’ routines and ensure they feel safe and comfortable in a welcoming, pet-friendly space.

Last minute I messaged Jeremy to watch Atlas and he accommodated us no problem! Very thoughtful about how to engage Atlas to shake off the first stay jitters, playing with his favorite frisbee. He has a great yard for Atlas, he loved the trees and bushes to sniff. Atlas was at ease and so was I. He even took Atlas on a walk through the neighborhood which was great because Atlas is working on his leash control. Overall super happy, we will be back!

About: **I AM TRAVELING OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY STARTING 5/20/26 AND WILL BE BLOCKING MY CALENDAR TILL I KNOW I WILL RETURN. ** I travel off island often and can't have my own puppy family, so I will watch your fur-babies like they are my own! I enjoy the adventure of pup-sitting at homes all over the island. I work remotely so am able to be away from my place for long stretches of time. While I like to explore the local areas I stay in, I will mostly be snuggled up with your fur-babies typing away. I am a veteran with Rover- In fact I have been pet-sitting before Rover existed using Craigslist. I have a huge love for all animals and am very experienced with caring for different types of animals and breeds. I am patient, and gentle with a huge heart for animals. I understand every household has different culture. I always try and mimic all the rules of the home. Pets not allowed on the couch? no problem. Dogs like to sleep in the bed with owners? I am an expert puppy snugger. Perhaps the best. I will try and reinforce all commands and rules so there is a seamless transition upon your return. When dog-sitting in your home I will leave it better than I found it and happily respect boundaries and house rules. * My property is in Hilo but I am open to sitting at homes all over the island. In fact, I love to! I will text picture updates to my clients so they feel comforted that their sweetheart is being loved on. Why I love dog sitting: I had a Golden Retriever rescue for over 15 years till he passed 10 years ago. I travel a lot and didn't think it was fair to get another dog, but have been pet sitting since. I LOVE having dog energy still around... and the friendships I have made with my puppy parents. For my lifestyle it's the best of both worlds! I work remotely so am very flexible with my schedule and love having pets around to love on while exploring new and interesting locations on this beautiful island. My place is in Hilo but am open to doing pet sit stays all around the Big Island. Initial meeting can be done with a zoom call before meet and greet if too far from my area. I can also do house drop in visits if it coordinates with my location at the time needed. Right now I am primarily house sitting since my property does not have a fenced yard. I will match your schedule as best as possible and take care of your place the way you desire.

About: I’ve always loved animals as long as I can remember. I have had a lot of pets ranging from a pony to turtles to cockatiels. I have four kitties that are my world 🌏 I’m always grateful for the opportunity to love on other animals too! 🥰 I have been a pet sitter on Rover previously when I was a travel RN in Seattle. I currently work at Krishna Cow Sanctuary and have a flexible schedule. I currently work part-time with a flexible schedule. I have been a nurse for the last five years in oncology. I am taking some time for myself to rejuvenate. I prefer getting to build relationships with pets and their people. It’s great for all of us to have continuity of care. My kitties are family and I love spoiling them and making sure they have healthy lives. I also use Rover when I visit my family and friends on the mainland, and know what it means to have someone else make sure that they are well cared for until I get back.

About: My dog is my baby. If I could take her every place possible, just know she’d be by my side. She is my family. Let me take your dog out and treat them with as much love and care as I do for my dog💙 I wake up early in the mornings and take my dog out on a walk as well as when I get home from work. We take long walks and stop to take in all that nature has to offer. We often head over to the dog park to play with the other puppers and it’s her favorite time of day. My dog is currently indoors but I do spend quite a bunch of time outside with her as well. We have a small yard that we are planning on fencing in so my dog has more place to run and play.

About: Aloha! My name is Duncan Anderson, and I’m proud to say I was born and raised on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. Throughout my life, I’ve had the joy of working with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. I manage a three-acre homestead where I’ve gained extensive experience caring for and nurturing these wonderful creatures. In addition, I spent time working on a farm in Kohala, where we raised chickens and pigs. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of animal husbandry and farming practices. I’m passionate about fostering a harmonious relationship between humans and animals, and I look forward to sharing that enthusiasm with others. I prioritize your pet care whenever I can, fitting it into my daily routine with walks, playtime, and grooming sessions. Whether it's enjoying outdoor adventures or cozying up at home, your pet's happiness and health are always top of mind. I live on a three-acre homestead with plenty of space for walks and a spacious backyard where I can play with your pet—whether it's a game of fetch or just some fun and companionship.

About: My dog of 15 years (lab mix) died a few years ago. I miss her, but travel a few times a year and don't want to leave a dog that long. I have lots of love to give and I love walking with a dog. I have extensive house and dog sitting experience with references. I send owners photos of their happy pups while caring for your pet as if were my own. I work at home (writer and online teacher) so your pet will be by my side during the day and we will take frequent walks together, if your pet likes that. I work at home and walk several times a day so I can bring your pet with me if they’d like to go for a walk. I’m also affectionate with animals, and they are affectionate with me so cuddles will be on the agenda. I have a park nearby and access to nearby home wirh fenced where I could visit with your pet so they could run around even more.

I visited Randy at her home beforehand and immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She welcomed us with a very friendly dog, and it was clear right away that she truly loves dogs (and other animals). Her place is wonderful for dogs — spacious, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. Randy is warm, friendly, calm, compassionate, and very accommodating to your needs. I’m sure my dog had a great time with her and made some new dog friends. I would happily leave my dog with her again. I also briefly met her husband, and he seemed very kind and sweet. Thank you, Randy and William, for taking such good care of my dog!

Alex was awesome, handled Azumi's new medical issue well and took good care of both dogs while we were away. They were happy, tired, and ready for a long nap when we all got home. And Alex was flexible about pick up when we got stuck in traffic getting back to town. Very happy!

This was my first experience using Rover and a pet sitter. Diane was incredible and took care of our Loki with such short notice. She and her husband, Jeff, we’re so kind, accommodating, and genuinely love animals. Diane kept me informed of Loki‘s daily activities and also sent pictures that assured us he was having a wonderful time. I would highly recommend her and her services to anyone in need of a sitter.

Kathy helped change my puppys life! After meeting with her, we brought our puppy over for daycare and he was so happy. She sent me updates throughout the day and reassured me that she was working with him as well. Then she was able to help us by boarding him for the weekend and I have never seen him happier! I was at ease knowing he was in good hands!

About: I have had both cats and dogs since I was in Kindergarten. Friends and neighbors have trusted me with their pet care needs for years. I have been on Rover for over 3 years now and am a trusted and reliable sitter. I oftentimes watch senior dogs, some with medical needs. I am very attuned to what animals need and give them tons of love and attention. It is a reciprocal relationship where we both appreciate the company and cuddles. When boarding dogs, my mom also loves dogs and is able to provide them with much love and attention when I need to be at work. She lives in the house and enjoys helping out with our furry guests. Your pet will most likely not be alone for more than an hour. I am very active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I always adhere to the pup's acitivity level and age. I have also cared for a neglected pitbull terrier in my old neighborhood. The dog was chained all the time and not cared for. I asked the owners if I could walk him daily. I have removed ticks and groomed him in an effort to provide some much needed attention and TLC. I have sought out medical care for the dog and helped to build a better shelter. I have also worked to educate the family on what it means to be a dog owner and treat the pup like a family member. Dogs just yearn to protect and be close to thier pack (owners). I still walk him to this day even though I know longer live in the neighborhood. The dog can be aggressive with other people and animals but is always affectionate towards me. I had to train the dog how to walk on a leash as it had not been walked in years. At first, the dog was a bit wild and did not know what to do. Now, he can heel and listens to commands. He even sits for some treats! I know how to use caution and practice safety measures when walking the dog so that others and the aggressive dog are kept safe and unharmed. I have a bleeding heart for animals. I am great with animals of all ages, personalities, and fitness levels! I am a social worker and love to give pets as much attention as possible! I am sensitive to their needs and always make sure your pet is comfortable. I treat them as one of my own. I am available to dog-sit/ house-sit or board most dogs as long as they are house trained.

About: Animal lover for life! Happy to have the chance to provide quality care for your furry friends. I’ve been a dog caretaker since my youth, as well as many years as a cat caretaker, too. I’ve cared for pets through sickness and health and I am qualified to administer medical injections. Being self-employed means I have a flexible schedule for pet care needs. Daily walks are part of the routine. In addition to frequenting local dog parks, I love to hike on nearby trails, such as Powell Butte and Sandy River Delta. I’ve trained several puppies and would be glad to work with you on implementing your training protocols. I have a fully fenced yard for added security during play dates or sleepovers. Looking forward to meeting your animal friends!!

Aly went above and beyond to make sure my dog was taken care of. My dog has anxiety and Aly kept me in the loop as to how he was doing. She sent photos and was in contact daily with me. I felt assured that Frankie was excellent care. I recommend having her watch your dog!
