“Kawehi was wonderful with our pup Lucas. Lucas loved her and felt comfortable with her from the moment they met. Lucas has separation anxiety so we don’t leave him alone. She kept him happy, feeling safe and occupied while we enjoyed a night out. Kawehi is kind, caring, and took great care of our Lucas.”

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: I’ve had cats and dogs and fish and birds as a kid, I have had cats and dogs and currently have 2 resident havanese small dogs. I work full time in Honolulu. I can do pet care evenings and some weekends. I can board pets in my home. I can give medications, take pups on a walk or check in on cats. The pets I have had can crate or roam free in the house depending on needs. I have administered medications, doggie diapers and even played YouTube dog separation anxiety videos for pups to settle into the home. I work full time and can let pups out in the evenings. Weekends I am often home. So sometimes I enjoy heading to the beach or on a hike. I am a loving pet mama who will care, hang out and love on your sweet pet. I like to cuddle with the pets in the evening and watch TV and take them on a walk during the day.
“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: 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.
“Leonard is the best!!! We feel so lucky that Leonard can take care of our pups! They always seem to be happy, loved, and well taken care of! So happy he’s willing to be our sitter :)”
About: Ever since childhood i've watched dogs. I currently live with a 2 year old dachshund, and a year old cat i've been responsible for since 2 weeks old. I am a current college student with all online classes. I would like to explore my options and see what days in my schedule fit me best. Depending on what the owner wants I will always follow instructions. At home I restrict my pets from climbing large object or allowing them into certain work or rooms they don't need to be in. I also make sure everything is put up high and sealed so no one gets into anything. I also check to make sure water is filled, they have been fed, bathroom is taken care of, and doors are locked when leaving.
About: I’ve walked dogs of all sizes from tiny chihuahuas to big, energetic labs • Comfortable giving meds (pills, drops, etc.) even to pets who aren’t big fans of it • I’ve looked after senior pets and know how to go at their pace • Used to high energy dogs who need a lot of playtime or long walks • I’ve done overnight pet sitting, including feeding, walks, and lots of cuddles • Love cats too I’ve cared for both super social and very shy ones • Good with litter boxes, scratching post setup, and keeping things tidy • I’ve taken care of rabbits, fish, and even a few reptiles • I’m big on sending photo updates I know how much it helps when you’re away • Totally comfortable with quirky or anxious pets every pet has their own personality! Pet care is a natural part of my day I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so it never feels like a chore. I build my schedule around their needs, whether that’s morning walks, playtime, or overnight stays. I make sure every pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, I create a calm, pet friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and feel at ease. I stick to their regular routines for feeding, walks, and bedtime to help them settle in.
“Ashley was so sweet & a great sitter for our girl. She sent pictures of Lani every day we were gone which was so nice. Came home to a clean house and happy dog! Thanks so much! We will book you again!! 🩷”
“Rachel is awesome. I just moved to town and have to travel for work, and she quickly established herself as a trustworthy way to keep the dogs taken care of. When I got home last night: no pent up energy, no desperate need to use the bathroom, no begging for food, no accidents around the house, and no hotspots on the Golden. Additionally, these are both big dogs (and the Weim is very anxious), and she was more than able to handle both from a control standpoint. Hire Rachel.”
“Kary was great! We had her stay at our home to care for our two dogs, one who is very anxious and shy and Kary was so patient with both of them. She made sure to understand exactly what their care, food and walk schedule was and provided awesome attention to both dogs. She provided frequent and detailed updates and photos which we loved to get and took wonderful care of our home leaving it tidy for our arrival back. We will not hesitate to use her services again!”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds throughout my life. Within the past decade I have cared for those types of my family and friends' pets from pet sitting them at my place to overnight sitting at theirs, as well as my own cat, Pluto, for the the past 11 years. I am currently in school to be a counselor on Tuesdays and Thursdays and would like to use my Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and some Sundays helping people play or walk or spend quality time with their pets. For the past decade I have casually helped care for others' pets. The most involved care was a recent overnight-pet sitting for 15 days: Two adorable aussie shephards, which included all basic care (feeding, walking, playing ball, brushing, and washing) as well as taking one to weekly vet appointments.
About: I been taken care of dogs for a long time over 10 years but my dog had passed away 2 years ago dearly so I am happy to help walk, feed and be there friend I currently have a flexible schedule while I’m looking for employment, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for a pet. I’ve always had a strong love for animals, especially dogs, and I understand how important it is for them to feel safe, loved, and cared for when their owners are away. Pet care would fit naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being active, spending time outdoors, and giving animals attention and companionship. I’m dependable, patient, and caring, and I would treat your pet as if they were my own. I’d also be happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of love while earning some extra income. I live in an apartment in ʻAiea, but I’m happy to travel to your area and provide care in your home. I care for pets with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs and routines. I can follow their normal schedule for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and rest, while keeping them safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to get to know them and make them feel comfortable. I’m dependable, caring, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pet like they are my own. I’m also happy to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 986 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.
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 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 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.
