About: I have always had a dog present since I was born. With that I have always wanted to build a strong connection with them. This includes belly rubs, giving treats, going for walks/venturing, or playing with doggy toys. I am currently working a part-time job and typically available at the beginning of the week. I do sometimes pick up shifts but I am pretty flexible with my time. During my days off I will have a plethora of time for your pets to keep company for a walk or being social. I often times like to match a pets energy. If they need some play time, I will be more than happy to give them needed attention. If they would like to have a more chill day, we can go for a nice calm walk or just relax outside on the grass.
About: Pets love me! It means they trust me, and if they do - you can too! I also find approaches to any pets depending on their personality. I am currently looking for a job as I just moved to Oahu . That’s why I really need some extra cash and thought Rover will work best for me. So I have a very flexible schedule. And if you’re hiring - let me know 🫣😬 I give them attention, play with them and pat them. So they feel very much loved and I also this way receive love from them :)
“Cheri and Matt are fantastic! They are very professional, nice and easy to work with. And most importantly, they were wonderful with our new husky. She’s a very energetic 2 year old recently adopted from a shelter and this was the first time we’ve left her. She was a happy dog and we loved the pictures we received.”


“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 watched our sweet little boy while we were out of the country on really short notice. She was communicative and kept our place pristine. I would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”

“Alexa is a great sitter whom I highly recommend! She was so kind and amazing to work with! She sent photos and updates of Ari and made sure to keep in contact with me while I was gone. She communicates flawlessly and is extremely responsible. Definitely asking her to come again!!”

“Shalyn was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my fur babies while I was gone, and she sent plenty of updates. We will 100 percent be booking with Shalyn again!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and had them in and out of my life. I am pretty experienced with young puppies and adult dogs. Although I am not experienced with senior care or giving medication. I am currently a part time college student that will be taking classes online. I have an incredibly flexible schedule. I will do my best to work with so that it works out for everyone. I cannot board any animals in my home however I would be happy to spend the night with your furry family members in your home. I take pet safety very serious and I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own pet. I’ll also follow any instructions, rules and dietary needs that you have for your pet. Further more I won’t leave your pet unsupervised unless in a safe or secure place and with your knowledge and permission.

“We loved Rachel! She did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs. They were fed @ their appropriate times and I was notified about it. This was important to us because along with their feeding came medication for a couple of the dogs. She kept us @ ease during our vacation. We will most definitely use Rachel again in the future. Thank you so much Rachel and Rover ❤”

“Colleen was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and consistently attentive, patient, and loving toward our pups. She truly went above and beyond by taking them on hikes, giving them plenty of walks, and making sure all of their individual needs were met so they stayed happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her attention to detail really stood out, especially since she gave one of our dogs medication and made sure it was administered correctly. What also meant so much to us was her communication. Colleen provided daily check-ins and updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away from home. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about our dogs, and we felt completely confident knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Colleen to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated dog sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Alondra! She stayed at our home for the weekend to take care of our dog, Molly, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, Alondra was accommodating and professional. She came by ahead of time to meet us, get instructions, and pick up the keys, which helped us feel confident that everything would go smoothly. While we were away, she sent us daily updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing Molly was happy and well cared for. When we returned home, Molly was her happy self, and it was clear she had received plenty of love and attention. The house was also spotless—you honestly couldn't tell anyone had been there except for our happy pup waiting to greet us! What really stood out about Alondra was her genuine, warm spirit. She is kind, friendly, and easy to communicate with while also being dependable and professional. It's never easy to leave our sweet girl behind, but knowing Molly was in such caring hands made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip. We would absolutely book with Alondra again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other folks looking for a sitter. Thank you, Alondra, for taking such great care of Molly and our home! We appreciate you.”


About: Aloha! I’m Morgana, a longtime Oʻahu local, lifelong animal lover, and someone who’s generally happiest around animals, the ocean, or both! I have a degree in Marine Science from UH Mānoa and have spent years working and volunteering with animal care and conservation organizations here in Hawaiʻi and abroad. Animals have always been a big part of my life, whether they’re furry, feathered, or swimming in the ocean. I’ve also spent time working in a veterinary setting, which has taught me to pay attention to the little things, like changes in an animal’s behavior, appetite, or energy. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I really enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel happy, safe, and comfortable. Outside of work, I’m a creative person who loves music, , hiking, and reading. I’m just as happy going for a nice walk as I am having a quiet evening at home with a furry companion curled up nearby. I’ve also spent years managing and caring for private homes also a prior Airbnb host/owner so I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with someone in your space. I’m tidy, respectful, communicative, and always try to leave everyplace I go a little better than I found it. One of my favorite things about pet sitting is getting to know each animal’s little quirks and building a relationship with them over time. Whether your pet is a cuddle bug, a playful goofball, or a slightly suspicious cat who needs a little time to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they are and my goal is pretty simple: happy pets :) and owners who can enjoy their time away without worrying about what’s happening back home. And yes, I’m always happy to send photos and little updates along the way! 🐾 I work a hybrid schedule here in Honolulu, so my mornings, evenings, and weekends are when I have the most flexibility for pet care. I enjoy starting and ending my day with some fresh air, a walk, and a little animal companionship! Some days/weeks I have the ability to work remotely other times I will go into the office. For overnight stays, I’m happy to keep pets comfortable in their own home and maintain their usual feeding, walking, and bedtime routines. I know every animal has different needs, so I always like to chat with owners beforehand to make sure my schedule is a good fit. I’m especially happy to build ongoing relationships with local families and become a familiar, trusted face for their pets. I think the best pet-sitting relationships start with good communication and a little trust on both sides! I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet in person or virtual before booking so we can get acquainted, go over expectations, and most importantly, make sure your pet feels comfortable with me. Being local to Oʻahu makes this especially easy, and I love having the opportunity to meet families in person. When staying in someone’s home, I’m mindful of their privacy, belongings, and household preferences. I like to ask questions upfront rather than make assumptions, whether that’s about visitors, household rules, emergency contacts, or your pet’s favorite hiding spot. I’m also a big believer in keeping owners in the loop. I’m happy to share little photo updates, funny moments, and reassurance that everything is going smoothly. My goal is for you to feel like you’ve left your home and furry family members with a trusted friend, not a stranger.
About: Because of my vet tech mom, animals have always been a huge part in my life! I grew up cleaning, walking, and playing with my many foster dogs! I'm a commission-based graphic designer, so I love to spend my extra time with furry friends! I'm usually available for visits after 11am on any day. I maintain a clean, safe environment while watching pets, and I use only the spaces designated to me by the client. I am considerate and respectful whenever I'm in someone else's home.
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.
About: Aloha. I'm Summer. I am a stay-at-home wife and mom looking to bring in some extra income. I have loved animals since forever. I grew up with pets (dogs, cats, a rabbit, and fish). I have experience house sitting with pets, dog walking, and worked in an animal hospital. I don't have any fur babies of my own yet, but I do have a fur nephew, Ninja who I love very much. I am able to give medication if needed. I'm currently available Monday through Friday in the morning to the early afternoons. Weekends I am typically unavailable, but for the right pet, I can adjust my schedule. I will care for your home and your pet as if it's my family. I am respectful of boundaries, and rules even if it doesn't line up with my own beliefs. I understand that pets are very important to families and would never take that lightly.
“We never were really comfortable with leaving our boys at the clinic while we travel. Kaya made it so easy for us. She is extremely friendly, helpful, kind and informative. We would definitely recommend her!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,006 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waikane. 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 Waikane 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 Waikane 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Waikane 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.
