“Sydney is amazing! She truly went above and beyond for our two cats. She was flexible and receptive to their special needs, provided detailed updates and adorable photos, and added an immense sense of ease to our trip knowing they were in such great hands. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for kind, thoughtful, and reliable care in the area.”
“Thank you Hayley for taking awesome care of Buddha and Abba! They were both so happy when we got home it was a huge stress reliever to have you come help us. We hope you will be available again in the future and until then take care!”
“Shea is a treasure. Couldn't possibly ask for a better caretaker for our cat. Always kind, reliable, goes above and beyond in a myriad of ways, and flexible when our plans change. Can't recommend anyone as highly as we do Shea, and we know our cat is in the best possible hands when we're out of town.”
“Kaitlin did a great job, was very thorough and communicative. Probably most impressively, my cats who are generally not very social were really comfortable with her from the first meeting. Highly recommend!”
“Jamie was amazing, gave the best updates, and took great care of my cats. They love her! I’ll definitely be a return client. Thank you so much for everything Jamie! ❤️”
About: As someone who has been an animal lover my whole life, I have found myself as an active volunteer at our local shelter. I walk and provide enrichment for dogs of all sizes and tempermants, but large dogs have a real special place in my heart since my childhood. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break throughout the day, mental stimulation and playtime, a relaxing stroll, or long walk to really stretch out those legs; I'm here to give them the attention and care we know they deserve. With hands-on experience, basic dog handling/training, basic understanding of dog psychology, and a calm-intuitve approach, each walk is tailored to your dogs uniques energy and needs. I can additonally provide massage therapy, enrichment activities and am comfortable administering medications so your senior pups or pups with special care are well cared for and monitored. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine with my own dogs and providing that suppoort for your dog Is incredibly important to me too. I currently have a part time job, so I am navigating my schedule as I get started here on rover. Right now I will offer my drop-in services... - most late afternoon/evenings - select full days with full-day availability, - select weekend availability * I will gradually open more available time slots and additional services as I begin to settle into this role, adapt to routines and understand the needs that dog parents and pups require. As I currently offer Drop-ins, care will take place primarily in your home/yard. * I will be in communication with you when I arrive and leave your home. * I follow any instruction you have for me regarding treats, current enrichment routines, feeding (if necessary), safety and cleanliness of your home, etc. * I will always ask permission before introducining any new enrichment activities for your pup. * Before leaving, I make sure your dog is safe, has access to fresh water, and is calm and comfortable. Individual connection with each dog is incredibly important to me. I take the time to connect with each dog before handling them in any type of way, especially if they're shy or very excited to ensure they feel comfortable and safe with me.
“she did an amazing job checking in and caring for my cat”
About: I have a sassy little dog so I know what it is like to watch any type of personality! I am patient with animals and know they need a lot of love. I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is in good hands! I work remote and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule during the week. I am happy to go take breaks throughout the day to take care of your pup, or even for the whole day if needed. I tend to have busier weekends, but give me a heads up and I will make it work! When we go on walks, I will keep your pup on leash until I/we feel comfortable. I'll keep you updated with photos during my visit, because I know I love getting those!
About: As a Rover pet sitter, I truly believe in treating every pet like my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, so I will make sure to provide care based on their specific needs. Whether it is helping a puppy get used to a new routine or offering extra patience for an older pet, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I will treat your pet like my own, so you can relax knowing they are in good hands. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I naturally build it into my daily routine. Whether I’m at home or on the go, I plan my day so your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. It never feels like a chore to me. Spending time with animals is one of the best parts of my day. I will provide personalized care whether your pet stays in my home or yours. At my home, they’ll have a safe, comfy space with plenty of attention, routine, and exercise. In your home, I’ll keep their routine consistent, offering companionship, walks, and any special care they need. From feeding to medication, I will treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel loved and comfortable in a familiar environment.
About: I have not had any dogs of my own but have always been surrounded by them growing up. All of my neighbors had dogs who I would sometimes walk and play with. My uncle also had Labrador Retrievers who I helped train when I was younger. My family has always had a cat in the house since I was little so I am very familiar with their care. I can be available M-F at 6-6:30am to do morning feeds and at 5pm to do evening feeds. I can be available on Saturday mornings at 8 am to do morning feeds, I have work in the afternoon evening so I will not be available for evening feeds. On Sunday, I can be available for morning feeds and evening feeds at variable times. I am respectful of others space and will only do what is necessary to care for the kitty/doggo unless given permission to do otherwise. Depending on the behavior of the animal, I can stay for up to 20 minutes to give them attention/play with them or just feed them/refill water/take them out to use the bathroom and then skedaddle.
About: Since I was born, I've had an enormous love for animals, especially dogs. Before my parents allowed me to have my own, I was walking my neighbors' dogs or taking care of other family members' dogs. Once I was finally able to have my own, I raised and trained them to be the great dogs they are today! In 2018 I moved here to Hawaii and unfortunately had to leave my dogs home with my mother (to keep her company, and sadly I felt they were getting too old to make the trek here). I find myself with a gaping hole in my heart the size of a dog (well 2)! I'd love to have the chance to help people out and take extra special care of their fur babies! I’m currently working a consolidated schedule of 40 hours per week in 4 days. The days I work (Wed, Fri, Sat, & Sun) I’m only available for PM walks and visits. My off days I’m available all day! Unfortunately my apartment doesn’t allow pets. So I’d only be able to come to your home or walk your fur baby around your neighborhood. I'd take the dogs to the beach, dog parks, lite hiking, and whatever else you as the owner could suggest!
“Meg is fantastic, respectful, snd reliable! I am so grateful to have her to let my dogs out while I am not home. I’ve been able to rely on her multiple times. 100% would recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“Hannah took great care of my dog and cat! I received great updates and photos of my pets with each of her visits. My dog can be very shy around new people, but she seemed to really like Hannah!”
“Mike is awesome. He cared for our four -- yes four -- mostly mixed-breed, medium/large pups and at no time did they ever seem too much for him, and they all loved him. He was attentive, took them into our yard for play and gave them lots of affection and comfort while we were away. Would we use him again? In a heartbeat.”
About: I’m great with animals and have experience! I have two border collies of my own. Growing up I always had a fur baby keeping me company. I’ve had experience with small dogs, large dogs, and even cats. Id love the opportunity to learn more and meet yours! I do have a part time job that I attend, so I will need a week in advance but other than that I am free to take care of your furry friend I walk my dogs on a regular basis. We go to dog friendly parks all the time and they love the beach! I’m able to provide that for your dog as well (if allowed). Im also able to handle more than one dog at a time if needed!
About: As a dog mom to my sweet (and blind but brave!) pup Goldie, I know how important it is to leave your furry family member with someone you trust. Based in beautiful Hawaii, I provide loving, attentive care tailored to your dog’s unique needs—whether it’s gentle walks, belly rubs, or cozy nap time. Your dog isn’t just a client—they’re ‘ohana. I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time in the mornings to care for your pups! I’m available on weekdays from 8am to 1pm. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m here to provide loving, reliable care. When I visit your home, I care for your pets as if they were my own—always with love, patience, and attention to detail. I follow your pet’s routine, keep their space clean and safe, and make sure they feel comfortable and calm while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, and lots of affection.
About: I grew up with a lovable pug, which sparked my lifelong love for animals and taught me how to care for dogs with big personalities in small bodies. I’m experienced with all kinds of pups—from energetic puppies to mellow seniors—and I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I’m attentive, calm, and reliable, and I’ll treat your pet like family. Whether it’s administering medication, going for walks, or just providing cuddles, I’m here to make your pet feel safe and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I prioritize walks, playtime, and check-ins around my flexible schedule. Whether it’s early mornings or evenings, I make time to ensure each pet receives consistent attention and love. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care never feels like a chore—it’s a highlight of my day. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I’d give my own. In your home, I maintain your routines and follow all instructions carefully to ensure your pet feels safe and secure. I always double-check that doors are locked, leashes are secure, and pets are never left unattended in unsafe areas. I also send regular updates, so you always know your pet is in good hands.
About: Aloha and thank you for taking time to read this :) My name is Alyssa and I’ve always loved animals. I’ve had pets my whole life and I have two cats, Jasper and Artemis. They are my world! If you choose me to care for your pets I will make sure they are entertained, happy, and safe. I work from 9:30am to 8pm on Wednesdays, 9:30am-6pm Thursday-Saturday, and 3-10pm Sunday through Tuesday. Please let me know if any days from my availability would work for your pets schedule! When caring for your pet in your home I would follow any instructions very carefully and share the love that I give my own pets. Play time, treats (if allowed), walks if needed and cuddles 🥰 I would do my absolute best to keep them safe and make sure they stay out of trouble, as if they were my own pet.
About: I have spent my whole life around dogs of varying breeds since my family loves pets. I have experience caring for dogs outside of my own home as well for neighbors and family friends. I love walking, playing with or just spending time with dogs and I am a responsible and conscientious caregiver. I currently work part time at a restaurant and have lots of time to house/dog sit as my shifts are often short with open blocks during the day. I have a yard and a dog of my own, but will most likely be doing most of my caregiving outside of my own home.
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was little. I have always grown up with a dog, and have experienced a variety of all types, and sizes! I was a reliable house sitter/ walker on multiple occasions for many of my neighbors growing up as well as my parents who were out of town or working a lot! I have always enjoyed looking after and spending time with dogs, and ever since I moved out to hawaii I have missed being around dogs and taking care of them. I look forward to taking good care of your pup! I am currently working part time at a fitness studio in town, for very short hours at a time! that will give me plenty of time to play with your pups and get my animal fix! I find it very important to set rules and boundaries when watching someone else’s pet! I really enjoy getting to know the dog, and i like to respect the way the owner likes to go about things!

Brittany P.
“Because your dog deserves more than just a walk. My name is Michael, and I’ve been Brittany’s boyfriend for the last ten years. In that time, I’ve seen her care for dogs in every stage of life — from playful puppies to seniors needing special attention, right up until the incredibly difficult moments of saying goodbye. She’s always shown up with patience, love, and a deep sense of responsibility. When you leave your dog with someone, you’re not just hiring help — you’re trusting them with a member of your family. That’s why I recommend Brittany without hesitation. She brings calm energy, real experience, and a kind of intuitive care that’s hard to find. She’s grown up with dogs of all kinds — from terriers to Dobermans — and she knows how to adjust to each dog’s personality and needs. She also volunteers weekly at the Humane Society, helps with adoption events, and was recently named Volunteer of the Month for going above and beyond. I’ve seen her stay hours past her shift just so a stressed-out or lonely dog can have time outside the kennel. What I admire most is her ability to really read dogs. She knows when a pup needs to run and burn energy, when they need a puzzle toy to stay mentally engaged, and when they just need someone to sit beside them in silence. She also notices the little things — changes in behavior, digestion, or skin — and adjusts their care with that same attention to detail. On top of that, she’s a licensed massage therapist who works in a chiropractic office, so she’s used to adapting to individual needs and tracking wellness. That professionalism and care absolutely shows in how she treats animals. If you want someone who will treat your dog with love, structure, and genuine care, Brittany is exactly who you’re looking for.”

“I highly recommend Brandon as a pet caregiver! Brandon has been looking over my pets a since we became friends a couple years ago. I had just moved to Hawaii and didn’t know anyone who could watch my pets. When I met Brandon, I could tell he was incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely loving toward animals. My pets always feel safe and cared for when they're with him. Whether if it's following specific routines or just offering extra cuddles, Brandon goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I trust him completely with my pets and know they’re in great hands!”
Briana B.
“Briana is an amazing pet parent. She takes amazing care of her cat, Honey. She rescued Honey and has been attentive to her. I also worked with her at the Waikiki Aquarium where she cared for the seahorses which are very high maintenance. She did so well that she got the seadragons to have babies which had never been done at the Aquarium before.”
Callie V.
“Callie grew up and cared for our 2 dogs and loves them with all her heart! And they love her back with utter devotion due to her time, affection, and the good care she provides.

Waialae-Kahala pet parents share their Rover experiences
Olivia was quick to respond and able to come on very short notice when I was called into work. She was so sweet and I really appreciated her taking the time to meet with me virtually to go over my elderly dog’s needs. Olivia was great at communicating and even sent me videos of her bonding with my 2 cats and 2 dogs. Needless to say, the entire crew immediately approved of her! I would absolutely recommend Olivia to care for your pets needs!!! (:
Deanne was perfect for the job. My dog Mako is a bit reactive and has been scared since moving here but Deanne was so patient with him. Her communication skills were awesome as she kept me updated the entire time she was doing the drop in. If you’re in the Waikiki area, I recommend Deanne to take care of your pets!
Meg is fantastic, respectful, snd reliable! I am so grateful to have her to let my dogs out while I am not home. I’ve been able to rely on her multiple times. 100% would recommend her as a pet sitter!
Gabby is friendly, detailed oriented, and professional. My cat seems to love her so much! I will definitely use her again.
Andrea was great. She was able to get our shy kitty to come out of hiding and play and our kitties loved her.
Sarah was awesome! Not only did she drop by to check on my cats food and cleaned her litter, but she also stayed and played with her to make sure she got her exercise and didn’t feel too lonely while we were away. She went above and beyond! Very trustworthy and awesome (with lots of cute pics from all of her visits). Would definitely recommend her to love and care for your amazing floofs when you’re torn away for work or fun!
Crystal was wonderful!! She took such great care of my dogs while I was away. Highly recommend. Will have her watch my babies again in the future m.
Sierra took great care of my cats and even got my very shy cat to come out -- not an easy task! Sierra was kind and easy to communicate with. My pets and home were just as I had left them. Would definitely recommend her and will surely book her again if I have future needs.
Ashley took great care of our golden retriever, Butterball, during consecutive drop-in visits! She made sure he got outside for a bathroom break, had his meal, and spent some quality time giving him the love and attention he craves. Butterball is a big sweetheart, and it was clear he was happy and well-cared for. We really appreciated the thoughtful updates and would absolutely trust Ashley again in the future!
Mike was truly exceptional! Our bulldog, Chapo, is very protective and not the easiest around strangers, but Mike was more than willing to help. He even went the extra mile by driving over for a meet-and-greet beforehand. His confidence and understanding of Chapo’s personality were immediately clear. While we were away, Mike went above and beyond by cleaning up a major accident as best as he could. We’re incredibly grateful that Chapo was in such capable hands, even with the challenges involved. Thank you so much!
Martina was wonderful! She communicated well and took very good care of my kitten. She followed my instructions well and even offered to meet me and my cat beforehand. Would recommend!
Madi was fantastic during a drop in visit. My dog can be very anxious and Madi knew exactly how to make Halle feel safe and at ease. Definitely adding Madi to my list of rovers to rely on.
Emma was great! Loved her daily updates and photos. Would definitely have her look after my kitties again!
Jordan was not only extremely communicative and patient with last minute changing of plans, but was also extremely generous with her time, being willing to come over for a lengthy meet and greet with Willow prior to any stays or drop-in visits. She was able to follow Willow's detailed care guidance on her drop-in visit, and even stayed for a longer period of time than booked for. I am already planning to use Jordan's services again, and highly recommend her as a sitter!
Alanna thank you for the amazing care you gave to Sophia and Rain!! Appreciate you taking the time to meet up, taking notes, communicating and the extra care you provided with cleaning up and taking out the trash.
Kallie is wonderful. She’s watched our cat several times now, and always exceeds our expectations. I would highly recommend her if you need someone to watch your fur baby. My kids love the daily pictures.
Chase watched our 3 cats while we were away for a week. He is reliable, a great communicator, and willing to go above and beyond. Our garage door remote ran out of battery on the first day, and Chase went to 3 different stores to find a replacement battery. This is just one example of how Chase made sure our cats and home were well taken care of while we were away. We could enjoy our trip knowing we had exceptional care for our kitties while we were gone. We couldn’t recommend him enough and will definitely book with him again!
My cat warmed up to Nicole as soon as she got arrived on the first visit, and it was really great to connect and receive a picture while I was out. Much appreciated!
Emily was great watching my two kitties. She made sure to update me with daily pictures which gave me much relief. I highly recommend choosing her and will definitely reach out to her again for her services.
We really appreciated how Rhea would not only take pictures during every visit, but would provide comments on each visit. Two of our cats are shy and skittish but she took the time to get pictures of them to let us know they were alright. And by her comments you can tell she loves cats! We would definitely use her again!
