“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.
“Sasha is the best, this is our second time using her and not the last!! She is so sweet with our two doggies and they love her. She also does a wonderful job taking care of our house and making sure our sheets are washed and house is in order!”
“We had a great experience with Jordan! Jordan was on time, kept us updated throughout the stay, and sent plenty of photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were clearly well cared for and happy. We really appreciated the communication and attention to detail. We would definitely book with Jordan again!”
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.
“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.”
About: As owner of Doggie Paddles, which served the Windward Side for nearly 25 years, I've cared for every size dog from teacup to giant Some impeccably trained, others not so much. I'm confident in what I do, but know enough to realize each pet and owner has unique needs. I take notes from everything about your dogs health to the location of your breaker box. I love taking photos of the pets in my care, which is why you don't see many photos of me with my BFF's. I work part-time in a Temple Valley office. They appreciate that for me to be happy means being flexible so that I can continue pet sitting. Privacy/security is important to me. I'm off the grid as far as socials go and ask who knows your off island and what cars should be in your driveway. I don't have a magnet on my car alerting the neighborhood your possibly away.
About: Hi there! I'm Jackie, a dedicated dog lover with a passion for providing exceptional care for your furry friend. I've had the pleasure of caring for a husky in the past and currently have a loving minpin/chihuahua mix.

While I can't personally own a cat due to my boyfriend's allergies, I'm happy to provide loving care for your feline friend. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and would be thrilled to offer companionship and attention. I'm an active person who loves to walk, so if your pet needs plenty of exercise, I'm up for the challenge. Whether your dog requires daily walks or simply needs a comforting presence, I'm here to provide the care and attention they deserve I'm a part-time worker who loves spending time with animals. I'm happy to take pets on adventures or provide in-home care on weekdays and weekends "I'm committed to providing your pet with the best possible care. Please let me know your specific preferences for feeding, walking, cleaning, playing, and crating your dog. I'm also happy to accompany your pet on walks or hikes if you'd like
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.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and other pets my entire life and currently have a husky of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with lots of energy, strong personalities, and specific routines. Having a husky has given me plenty of experience with daily exercise, long walks, basic training, grooming, and keeping an energetic dog happy and stimulated. I’ve also cared for pets for friends and family over the years, including both younger, high-energy dogs and older dogs who need a little more patience and attention. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and adapting to each pet’s normal routine. As a former EMT and current PA student, I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health and comfortable staying calm if something unexpected happens. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own. I’ll be on Oʻahu from October 18th through November 14th for one of my medical school clinical rotations in Kailua. During that time, I’ll have a fairly consistent clinical schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my mornings and evenings. I’ll be available for feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention before and after my rotation each day, as well as more flexibility on my days off. Since I’ll be staying locally for the entire month, I’m also happy to work with your pet’s usual routine as much as possible. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and home in someone else’s care. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and try to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, exercise, and any house rules. I’m very mindful about keeping doors, gates, and yards secure, especially with pets that like to explore or make a run for it. I’ll also keep your home clean and tidy, bring in packages or mail, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how things are going. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have for your pet or home.
“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!”
“Anastasia is the best 🥹 My doggy fell in love with her the second she laid eyes on her. She left our place looking the same as it looked when we left and she sent us tons of pics with updates. I will definitely be using her again ❤️”
About: I had dogs since I was very young. As a child, I wanted to grow up to become a vet, but I realized I'm allergic to cats, and some dogs. Even with allergies I'll still watch them because I love them and that's what allergy pills are for 😆. Care taking animals at home is one of my dream jobs, and I'm very lucky to be able to have a safe space for my furry friends to hang out at. I've been fostering with Paws of Hawaii for almost 3 years. I love being able to help provide a home to those in need, and it's so much fun seeing all the different personalities. I just love being surrounded by dogs. I like to train simple and fun tricks with them! My house basically became a doggy day care with fosters and dog sitting my friends furbabies! I'm currently working part time for music and acting so I have a lot of time. I spend most days hanging out with my dog, a foster, and sometimes my friends dog when I get asked to dogsit. I have a fenced yard, 1 dog of my own, and usually 1 foster or 2 fosters. We hang out multiple times a day out in the yard, to play and relax. They are allowed to roam around the house, I'm very attentive. I also have a crate for when I need to leave the house. All dogs are crate trained, and fed in the crate at my house. I change out the water frequently and give them filtered water.
“Such a sweet, trustworthy person. We booked her last minute and she did great. Sent lots of photos with our pups, handled some house things that came up and overall very communicative and responsive!”
“Victoria is hands-down the most attentive sitter I’ve ever used on Rover. She stayed at my apartment with my Labradoodle, Shiplap, for three days and truly went above and beyond. Not only did she perfectly manage Shiplap’s specific mealtime routine, including his Amen prayer and Fresh Pet preparation, but she also jumped right into our daily neighborhood traditions. She made sure Shiplap got his social time with Sister and the other local cats, even handling the extra feeding for them. What really impressed me was how she handled my apartment’s quirks. My place has a few 'old building' issues like a tricky toilet handle and specific AC breakers, and Victoria managed everything flawlessly. She even kept up with Shiplap’s cooling routine with his fans and towels. What really set her apart was the communication. She sent frequent updates and adorable photos of Shiplap throughout the day, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. I returned to a happy dog and a perfectly kept home. If you want someone who treats your pet and your home like their own, hire Victoria!”
“We could not be happier with our experience. She stayed at our home for seven days (over the holidays!!!) and truly went above and beyond in every way. Our dog was clearly so happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away, which gave us complete peace of mind. On top of excellent pet care, she also took amazing care of our home. She took out the trash, started the laundry before she left, and left everything spotless. It was such a thoughtful touch and far more than we ever expected. It is rare to find someone so trustworthy, communicative, attentive, and genuinely caring. We would absolutely book her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet and house sitting care.”

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.

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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
