“Jessica was a life safer; allowing the whole family to go stateside while being able to leave our two older dogs with someone at home relieved a lot of anxiety. She was a good communicator, took great care of the dogs, and left the house in excellent condition. I would definitely recommend and hope to book her again in the future!”
“Richard was great with Moosey! Fast communicator. Sent pics and videos. Super respectful and left my place clean. Moosey loved him. Definitely would recommend and would book again for my future trips.”
About: I grew up on a farm and have had dogs of every shape and size my entire life. I have experience with dogs with diabetes and am comfortable giving them their shots. I am willing to drive to any part of the island but I am located in Ewa Beach so please allow grace for traffic if you are townside. Size does not scare me as I was watching over 12 horses daily in Kapolei, my elderly dog requires 4 medications a day so medications are a breeze as I’ve had to learn every trick in the book. *I have an elderly dog and young cat in my home so all animals must pass a flea inspection and have recent vaccines.* I am currently unemployed due to medical conditions not letting me be able to be in large crowds. I can adapt my schedule to you and your animals needs because of this and can be available anytime outside of my appointments and treatment days. I have a larger fenced yard in Ewa Beach, I provide filtered water for all animals and treat any animal in my home as if it were my own. In my house animals are allowed on furniture and beds. I will always leave a space cleaner than found, if I am house sitting/pet sitting I will lightly clean the area. If your animal becomes muddy, or dirty under my care I will wash them. If you don’t want them on furniture I will make sure they do not go on any.
“Cheryl is Fantastic! She is a superb communicator and is outstandingly experienced. She was helpful and flexible when the airlines turned my flight home into a three day affair. My pets love her and we are excited to have her watch our furballs and home when we travel again.”

I bring experience, patience, and a caring attitude to every pet I care for. I don’t work outside the home at the moment, so I have a very open schedule & will be fully present to every pet I care for. Right now i’m accepting small dogs only 🐶 30 lbs or less for boarding.

About: I’ve taken care of an 11 year old fur baby till her last breath and I am very patient with all the animals!

I am a huge dog lover who enjoys spending time with fur babies of all ages and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just extra attention, I’m here to make sure they have a fun, safe, and a happy time! I recently graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA and I have returned back home. I am a dog owner myself. I have a 9-year-old Fox Terrier Mix and my previous dog that I owned I took care of until she passed away at 15. I am patient, committed to keeping pet owners updated with photos and communication, and really enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality :)!

About: Hi, I’m Lani! I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have been caring for them since I was a little girl. To me, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I treat every pup I care for with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m a proud dog mom to my fun-loving, friendly girl, Dreamy! She’s house-trained, sweet, and loves making new furry friends. 🐾 I’m especially excited to offer house sitting, where I can stay in your home and give your pets plenty of companionship, cuddles, playtime, walks, and attention while you’re away. I know how much peace of mind it can bring to know your pets are happy and comfortable in their own home—and I’m happy to help keep things running smoothly while you’re gone. I’m also available for dog walking and drop-in visits if your pup just needs some exercise, potty breaks, playtime, or a little extra love during the day. Whether your dog is energetic and ready for an adventure, a professional cuddler, or somewhere in between, I’d love to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐕💛 I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🏡 Work-From-Home & Flexible Schedule I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be around throughout the day. This is especially great for pets who enjoy having someone nearby for companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m available for overnight house sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits, and I can work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I love being able to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your pets can feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. 🐾💛 I have a fenced and large back yard so there's plenty of room for your pup to run and play. I am also able to crate train if needed.
“Giselle was simply wonderful! She sat for our two dogs over the weekend and kept us updated the entire time. She sent photos and updates and cared for our boys like they were hers!! 🐾”
“This was the first time we have left our pup Milo for a week with a stranger. I was pretty nervous about it but as soon as I met Melissa I knew he would be taken care of! She updated us daily with texts and photos, and I wanted her to feel welcome in our home. When we got back, it was just the way we left it! Definitely recommend!”
“Alycia was amazing - Brody was only "Medium" excited to see me when I got back which means He Got Plenty of Attention... not an easy task with a Terrier!! Great Work Alycia, Thanks.”
About: I’ve always loved taking care of animals ever since I was little! I’m currently studying in college to be able to work with animals in the future! Dogs and cats have always been a part of my family! I’ve had experience with taking care of my friends and family’s pets and can be relied on for all the tasks that come with them! I have a very flexible schedule as I currently take courses online and I am free to take care of your pet during the week or weekends! I have a fenced backyard where your furry pet can roam around freely! My neighborhood also has a lot of grass areas and parks for walking your pet. I also have a doggie that is great company, and very adaptable with any types of pets!
“Really glad I booked Luis. He was very patient and caring to my 12 year old American Bully. He followed my feeding instructions and also administered Meds to my bully. He kept my house clean and updated me with videos. I was able to travel care-freely knowing my dog was in good hands. Definitely will book again.”
About: I bring hands-on experience and a genuine passion for animal care. Back in Arizona, I’ve cared for my own 4 dogs and 2 cats since I was ten, giving me years of firsthand knowledge about different breeds, temperaments, and needs. Additionally, I spent three months as a live-in volunteer for an animal rescue and have worked briefly at a shelter, further expanding my expertise in handling animals with diverse personalities and care requirements. Whether it’s training puppies, providing extra attention to senior pets, or managing unique behavioral traits, I’m confident in my ability to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently a student at the University of Hawaii, which gives me a flexible schedule during the week and weekends. Being an active person, I love walking, running, and hiking—so if you have an energetic dog, I’d be thrilled to help keep them active and happy. Pet care naturally fits into my routine, as I enjoy spending time outdoors and staying busy, making it easy to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I prioritize the safety and well-being of pets by following all care instructions, ensuring secure environments, and staying alert to any health concerns. I respect your home, maintain confidentiality, and provide reliable, professional service. By creating a calm and positive atmosphere, I ensure pets feel happy and cared for in your absence.
About: Ever since I can remember I have been obsessed with animal. I grew up caring for our household pets, neighbor's animals, and showing dogs. Since moving to Hawai'i I felt like I lost apart of who I am since I haven't been able to be around many animals. This job will be a great opportunity for me because since I am unable to get my own pets right now I'll be able to do what I love again-caring for animals. I have a flexible schedule so when I get a booking I am able to be fully devoted to your pet as if they were my own. Every pet and owner are different so I think its important to listen to what their pet needs and adjust. I am a very calm person and have always been able to gain the trust of animals. Animals come first so all their needs will be met before my own.
About: With over 30 years of experience with dogs, I passionately walk, play, and care for dogs, ensuring they feel loved and safe under my watch. Working part-time from home allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to caring for your pet, ensuring they receive the best care and love. I have a fence back yard and crates if needed. At my home, I have two Rottweilers. I ensure every pet feels comfortable and safe, whether in my home or the client's.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waianae
Alexia was amazing!!! We had a semi-last minute booking with her and she really made everything so easy and stress free. She was so communicative, quick to responding, so kind through the whole process of booking/her stay, and took the BEST pictures of our little kitty! We have never felt so comfortable leaving our kitty with someone! I highly recommend booking with Lex!! We know we will be rebooking any chance we can!😊
Sarge isn’t always the easiest. He can be a grouchy old man and is very particular about who he likes. He loved Madison from day 1, which obviously put us at ease immediately. Madison didn’t only take phenomenal care of Sarge, she took wonderful care of our home. She is welcome back anytime and we will definitely be booking her in the future. Thank you so much Madison!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,004 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waianae. 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 Waianae 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 Waianae 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 Waianae 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
