“Carey took very good care of our boy while we were gone. She sent us pictures every day and made several trips for his rides and going to the park. He really warmed up to her and we will be using her again when needed.”

“Hannah is the best! She stayed with our dog, Sofie, over a long weekend and we could not have been happier. Leading up to her stay, she worked with us to get to know Sof, who is nervous of new people and takes some time to build trust, and ensure Sofie’s comfort with her in our home. Sofie quickly adored Hannah, and we are very appreciative of Hannah’s willingness to do a slow intro and relationship-building with our nervous pup. Hannah was also a fabulous house guest- leaving everything just as she found it and even starting the laundry before we returned!- and we would love to have her back anytime. It was a relief knowing she was taking great care of Sofie while we were away, and we loved receiving the photos she took of Sof as well. We will absolutely book with Hannah again!”

“Jonathan was amazing! Very friendly, obviously loves and understands dogs, kept our place in great shape and our pets happy! The frequent photos helped us overcome our guilt and anxiety about leaving our elder, very attached pooch behind for a quick trip off island. Will definitely use him again and highly recommend to others!”

“Mandi was so incredible! She took such great care of my Jackson, even taking him to the park multiple times a day to play fetch and sent pictures to keep me updated. She also dealt with his reactivity well which is always a concern of mine when I leave him with others. Responses were quick and as a house guest she left everything clean, even cleaned the bedding in her room which was so kind and nice to come back to one less chore after a busy vacation.”

“Tag was wonderful. She stayed at my place for two nights and three days, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and an immaculate apartment. I’d absolutely book her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Taylor 🤍 I’d love to care for your dog like part of our family. We have a calm, loving home where dogs can relax and roam freely. They’re never left alone for long periods. I have a one-year-old who is my world, so I only accept gentle, very friendly dogs, and everything is closely supervised.

My daily routine is flexible and built around your dog’s needs, including: • Morning, afternoon, and evening walks • Frequent potty breaks (as often as every hour, if needed) • Playtime, rest, feeding following your current schedule Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m home and present at all times, so your dog will never be left alone. Our home is calm and family oriented, and we only accept baby-friendly, gentle dogs due to our one-year-old. Dogs receive frequent potty breaks, outdoor time, and personalized care, and must be well-mannered on a leash for walks with my child.
“Courtney was amazing while I was away. She took great care of my pets and my home and sent me updates each day, which I really appreciated. Coming home was so nice, the house was all set and she even left me flowers. I felt at ease knowing everything was in good hands and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”

“Koda loved Myka! We let her know that he has high energy and needs to be pretty active - and she did exactly that for him! She took him to the local dog park and on walks daily and she left our apartment SPOTLESS! She was so communicative and we felt so happy to know he was in such good hands. We would recommend Myka to anyone, and we know Koda would too!”

About: I have been a Rover sitter and dog walker since 2023 and have always had a lifelong love for all animals. Growing up on a farm in rural Nebraska, I was responsible for horses, cattle, pigs, chickens, goats, cats, dogs, and even fish. This hands-on experience honed my understanding of different pet needs and personalities. My cat, Milly, has been a part of my family for 9 years and counting. I have worked at a vet clinic and interned at the California Wildlife Center, which gave me veterinary medical knowledge and skills. I am comfortable with medication administration and special diets. With 20+ years of pet care experience, I'm dedicated to ensuring your fur family receives the utmost care and attention they deserve! I'm thrilled to offer my flexible availability to cater to your pet's needs! I am available on weekdays in the mornings and afternoons, and can schedule for midday as well depending on your location. Most weekends I am available to schedule for any time that suits you best. Based on the pet parent’s guidance, I tailor my care approach to match their pet’s personalities and preferences. I have experience working in veterinary medicine and can help administer any medications or give special diets. Safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities.
“What a joy to have met Kiaya! She did an excellent job taking care of our active pups! She was great around the dogs and watched our home for us while we were away. Daily pictures from Kiaya and our snuggling dogs were precious. Thanks again, God bless you!”


“Sarah communicates very well. Responsible, shows up on time. Dogs loved her and were very relaxed and happy when we got home She also took care of our home well and kept us updated with any issues She's a great dog sitter.”


About: Hi there! My name is Elishia and I am a Veterinarian from Australia! Before I moved to Oahu I had my own full time dog walking/pet sitting business for the last 6 years. I have plenty of experience looking after pets, dog walking and providing the best care possible for your pooch! Animals have always played such a huge role in my life from a very young age which led me to study Veterinary Medicine. I am currently working as a vet in a small GP clinic and really enjoying it! I am confident with a large variety of breeds and medical needs. I am currently on holiday for the next 2 months prior to starting work so I have full availability. From there I work 4 days a week so will continue dog walking on my days off. I have a large amount of experience dog walking and very comfortable with all sizes and breeds. I have a vast knowledge and education regarding pet behavior and medical needs and can easily recognise symptoms of illness or know when something is wrong.

About: I am a dog fanatic, they are very special to me. I have had many dogs growing up of all breeds and sizes. I will love them whole heartedly, I understand how much love and care they need while you're away. I do have a 9 year old who is dog crazy as well, he has lived with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Animals have a very special place in my heart (especially dogs) and I would love to be the one to take care of your special friend. I know the importance of trust with your loved ones. I would like to bring good energy into you and your pets life with a whole lot of love. Mahalo I am flexible, I don't mind traveling around the island to take care of animals. I have been fortunate to work with animals all over Maui for the last 11 years. I am very open to any specific instructions your special friend will need; first timers, allergies, high energy, separation anxiety and any extra care your pet may need

About: Hello! I am a travel Home Health and Hospice Nurse missing my fur babies. Dogs naturally gravitate to my energy and calm. I would love to spend time playing and loving on your cherished pet. I am a very reliable and neat person. I will treat your home and belongings with respect and care. I work from 8am to 4:30pm in the community. I am able to check in on pets throughout most days. I also can decrease my time away from work by charting at home. Sometimes I am on call. Most of the time this requires a phone call, but sometimes I need to make a home visit. All information would be relayed to the owner prior to agreeing upon a doggysitting job. I am happy to follow your dogs special routines and safety rules. Routine is important in relieving a dog's anxiety. I am able to provide special foods and medications needed.

About: Hi I'm Kelly and caring for animals is my passion! I currently work in conservation and have more 7 years of professional animal care experience. I have had pets and been caring for dogs and other animals since a very young age and am an outdoor enthusiast. I have extensive experience housesitting people’s dogs and cats, and even chickens, rabbits, horses, goats llamas, alpacas, and donkeys. I would love to take your dog for a stroll on the beach or a walk through the park or forest. Your animal’s well being, comfort and happiness are my absolute priority. My work as a vet tech and training in technical animal emergency rescue make me even more prepared to take care of your animal in any situation.

About: I’m currently doing my undergrad and want to become a physical therapist so I can take care of the kūpuna. This past summer I completed 40 hours of shadowing. I’m on summer break so I have a lot of free time. Trying to make money before summer ends. I gotta go back to school soon. My girlfriend has 2 dogs that we feed, walk, and care for. I will do the same for yours. I can also pick up poop for extra cost.
“Casey took care of our pup while we were off island for a weekend; he even brought him his new favorite toy. Casey is very pleasant and we felt very comfortable with him after our meet and greet. He sent updates with pictures and left our place just as we left it. Our dog had a great time with him and we would definitely work with him again!”

About: As a teacher and mother, I’m a natural caregiver and there’s nothing I love more than caring for dogs. I have a gift for understanding them and providing the right kind of love and affection. I’ve worked at a vet, helped dog rescues in Korea, and have been a dog sitter since childhood. Our dog Prim lives a splendid life in our new fenced backyard. We brought her to Maui from Korea and have showered her with love. Along the way we’ve watched many buddies for her, always making these dogs feel like part of the family. Let me put your mind at ease, give your dog a safe and loving second home, and provide you with some cute photos too! I am a teacher so I’m usually home by 3 pm and have a lot of holidays off. My husband works four days a week. We’re always home on the weekends and have a great setup when we’re not here so that pets can enjoy both the house and the backyard. My yard is fully fenced in and live on a quiet cul-de-sac. We are very aware of potential dangers and try to always have a plan in case it’s needed. We’re informed on all feeding precautions and exercise care during play and meal time. Both our kids, even our toddler, are careful and kind with all animals. I passed my dog whisperer genes on to them!

Jonathan stayed at our home with our older dog for two weeks. At our first meeting with him we knew he would be great with our pup. He was in regular communication with us and sent lots of pictures. He administered medications and cooked for our guy. I highly recommend having Johnathan watch your pets. We plan on booking with him again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 167 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waikapu. 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 Waikapu 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 Waikapu 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 Waikapu 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waikapu. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
