“Christina was great with my “problem child” dog! He took to her right away. I got daily updates and pictures. This was our first experience with Rover and we will definitely use the service and Christina again.”
About: We have been taking care of all types of dogs for the last 3 years. We are embarking on a new journey to Volcano in Hilo, Hawaii. In this location we will have more room for your babies to interact with and a safer environment. We are proud to continue baby sitting your babies in our new location if you allow us to. I will walk, feed, play, brush etc. your dog according to your schedule. We will try to maintain your dogs normal home schedule to avoid any behaviour change. Currently we make organic dog treats for Haru when he stays with us. Your pet will be hanging out with me all day around the house and outside in the neighborhood. No small items will be left at the reach of your pet to avoid any incidents.
“I cannot recommend Brian and Katalin enough! They are such wonderful sitters and kind people. We were away for 5 days and left detailed instructions. Not only did they follow them to a T, they also provided us with daily updates on our home and animals. The house was immaculate when we returned, which made transitioning back after travel so easy, and our pups and chickens were healthy and happy! This was our first Rover experience and we could not have asked for more. Will definitely be booking with B&K again! Thank you both for such a wonderful time. Marty and Cloud send their love and gratitude!”

They all have different personalities yet so sweet in their own ways!☺️ I treat and care for any dogs as if they’re my own. I am a caregiver for my mother so I am home pretty much all day everyday. I would provide quality and loving care for your babies like I do my own. I love meeting new doggos and seeing different personalities and building relationships with so I have no doubt you and your fur baby would get along just fine!😃 I have a fenced yard, open green grass to run around and play in.

About: I myself grew up on a farm! My family has had pets ever since. Raising our children with pets has been a joy! We have the love patients and compassion for all animals! My family loves to play and chase balls go for walks. We LOVE making new Animal friends and can't wait to to help wherever we can! We have refrances if needed and appreciate your time and considerations! I work for myself and have the ability to make my own schedule.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 79 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Volcano. 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 Volcano 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 Volcano 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 Volcano 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.
