“Mahalo nui loa to Janey and her kokua on our popokis and Jerry the honu. She was very kind and attentive, she gave us pictures videos and updates daily . She left the hale looking better than we left it . Overall we were so pleased that Janey was our sitter .”
“When our original rover sitter started acting flaky the night before our trip, we canceled & desperately looked for a last minute replacement. It was late at night but Akane got back to us immediately & said she could help. Big sigh of relief! She also didn’t have any crazy coronavirus demands like other rover sitters. She gladly accepted the job. We received daily check-ins with pics of her cuddling & playing with our cat Betty. Very responsive & responsible. Akane completely eliminated our cat stress while we traveled. Would highly recommend.”
“Sydney is amazing with my little princess. In addition to being a natural with animals, she's very responsive, proactively communicating with me from start to finish. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.”
“I so appreciate Haley for helping care for my dogs and my neighbors dogs while we were away. Haley is very professional and kind. I forgot to remind her about my dogs new diapers and she caught on right away. I appreciated her taking the time to bond with my cats too. They couldn’t recommend Haley more as a sitter!”
“Just want to update my last review: I have been booking with Ryan repeatedly since July 2018, and have been extremely happy with him. He is great with my dog, who adores Ryan, and loves to go on walks with him. As a repeat client, I think Ryan really tries to accommodate my last-minute requests. Very pleased overall!!”
“Shea is the absolute best. We are always very happy with the care she provides our cat, her communication, and we always come home to the house as we left it. Thank you!!!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Lyndi! It was super last minute that i reached out to her and she happily accepted the booking. She took amazing care of my two cats while I was away, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care. She kept me updated with photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. When I returned, my cats were happy, well-fed, and my home was just as I left it. I highly recommend Lyndi to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter!”
About: Aloha! I’m Nea, a born-and-raised Kaua‘i girl now living in Honolulu near Ala Moana. I’ve grown up around and owned animals my whole life—horses, chickens, bunnies, birds, cats, and of course, dogs—and I’m truly an all-around animal lover! I get so much joy out of spending time with animals and helping care for others’ furry friends. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior needing a little extra TLC, or a quirky dog with specific routines, I genuinely love getting to know each one’s unique personality. I’ve raised and owned Border Collies and Australian Shepherds (you can see my parents dog, Tucker, a blonde collie, featured in a number of my photos), so I’m especially comfortable with high-energy breeds. However, I’ve worked with dogs of all types and temperaments. I’ve been a dog walker and sitter throughout high school and college, and through Rover for several years while living in NYC and back on Kaua‘i—so in total, I’ve been doing this as a side gig for about 15 years now. I’ve cared for everything from a tiny Chihuahua named Lolo to a 180lb Great Dane named Pebbles to a reactive hound named George who only did night walks. No matter the service (walks, drop-ins, etc), I treat every pet I work with like part of my family and love making their day brighter (and yours a little easier). My husband and I lost our beloved dog Logan last year due to cancer and, while we aren’t quite ready to welcome another pup into our home full-time, we’ve both gotten so much fulfillment from helping out other pet parents. I work from home as an education policy consultant, and I’m very lucky that my job offers a lot of flexibility and autonomy in scheduling. My workday typically starts early since my team is based on the mainland, which means I often wrap up by lunchtime and have plenty of time to spend with pups. Even during working hours, I can usually shift meetings or build in breaks to fit in a walk or drop-in visit. Overall, I’m able to accommodate most pet care routines. Whether it’s a quick morning walk, a lunchtime drop-in, or a longer afternoon outing for an energetic pup, I’m happy to tailor care to whatever works best for your dog! Weekends are also often wide open, and I’m more than happy to take clients then as well. At the moment, I’m unable to offer overnights or boarding in my home, but I do provide walks, drop-in visits, and in-your-home sitting throughout Honolulu. When I’m caring for your pup—whether I’m stopping by for a quick visit or staying for longer—you can count on me to treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I make it a point to send regular, thorough updates and plenty of photos throughout my time with your pet. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your furry friend with someone else, and I want to ease that as much as possible for my clients by keeping you informed and connected every step of the way! I’m dependable, communicative, and focused on making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I keep routines consistent, follow your instructions closely, and am always prepared to respond quickly if something unexpected comes up.
“Sienna exceeded our expectations! She cared for our Gigi with such thought and enthusiasm and gave Gigi all the lovin' she could while our family was away. We are so glad to have found her during this summer season and we hope she can love on our Gigi another season 😆. Thank you so much Sienna for being amazing.”
About: I work from home and am passionate about providing loving, attentive care that makes your furry family members feel safe, happy, and pampered while you’re away. With plenty of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, I tailor every visit to fit your pet’s unique needs — whether it’s playful walks, cuddle time, or keeping up with their special routines. I know how important peace of mind is when you leave your pet behind. That’s why I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s a quick check-in, an energetic walk, or overnight stay, I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved and comfortable. Book a meet and greet with me if you need pet care! Working from home means I’m able to provide pets with attention and care throughout the day. Walks, playtime, feeding, and rest are all part of my daily routine, ensuring pets feel loved and well cared for every hour. I care for pets by providing a safe, clean, and loving environment, whether at my home or theirs. I follow each pet’s routine and owner instructions closely to keep them comfortable, happy, and stress-free. My goal is to make every pet feel cared for and at ease.
“Riley was such a respectful, responsible and amazing rover! Our boys liked her from their first interaction and she was so responsive and gave great updates with photos. We would love to have her again in the future. Much mahalo!!”
“Isabel is very responsible and very good at playing with cats. She sent me many photos including one with a high-jumping cat that I’ve never seen my cat do. My cats clearly enjoyed Isabel’s visits.”
“This was our second time booking with Andrea and she's fantastic! Love the photos and notes she leaves each time she visits our kitty. I know my fur baby is in good hands while I'm away!”
“Lulu enjoyed her time with Shannon, and was happy and healthy upon my return. I really appreciated Shannon’s flexibility and willingness to step in and help me out when all of my typical resources were not available. Her communication was stellar even when she had some challenges with her cell phone. Thanks Shannon!”
“Lina checked on my cat daily, changing his water and food as needed, and cleaning his litter box. She provided me with updates daily. She also disposed of the garbage which I thought was very nice. I’m a first time user of Rover and would recommend the service and Lina. Thanks again Lina!!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for family and friends over the years, including pet sitting, feeding, walking, and keeping them company. I also have pets of my own at home, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I always do my best to follow each pet’s routine so they feel safe and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just a calm presence, I’m here to give your pet the same care I’d want for mine. I’m a student-athlete at the university, so my weekdays are a mix of classes and training. I’m available during the day up until 1pm and again after 6pm on weekdays. I’m also free most weekends and can be flexible with advance notice. Pet care fits into my routine easily. I’m active, reliable, and happy to plan around your pet’s needs whenever possible! I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, so I always make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their own home. I take the time to get to know their routine and personality, whether that means giving them space or showering them with attention. I grew up with big dogs and have had cats, so I’m confident handling pets of all sizes and temperaments. You can count on me to follow your instructions closely, keep you updated, and treat your home and pet with respect and care.
“Liana and Wilbur are such great people! We had to move further out of the city and that’s why we couldn’t continue with them. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a positive experience and great care for their pets.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and cats for 5 years. I treat every pet like family—whether it’s daily walks, feedings, playtime, or special care for seniors or shy cats. Back in college, I joined an animal welfare club where I helped care for our campus dogs, including feeding, bathing, and accompanying them to vet visits I am a housewife currently, so I have a very flexible schedule. I can easily accommodate walks, feedings, and playtime throughout weekdays. I also take a lot of walks myself, so having a furry friend with me is a great addition to my routine. I am a pet owner myself, so I understand the trust you are placing in me. I will keep your home tidy and secure, and I will provide daily updates with photos and videos of your pet having a great time. My priority is your pet's safety and well-being.
About: I have experience 3 mo. - 12 y/o dogs. I used to foster dogs for my local rescue and love to open my home to all kinds of dogs from a diverse background. I am currently available every day of the week at all hours. Even on days I may have something scheduled, I will prioritize walks and potty breaks. I have a 1000sqft lanai space that is bordered with a 4.5 ft tall wall. The indoor space is around 1500 sqft and plenty of space for them to play! Time on the lanai would be monitored by me and I will never leave them unattended on the lanai. I also live a block away from a large park that they will never get tired of! Only bookings with 2 nights + will be approved. I have a very flexible work day and will try to bring them anywhere they would allow dogs. With my flexible schedule, I try to take them out for as a long a of a walk that they can handle for both the morning and evening time. They will be by my side almost all hours of the day

Ashlyn is incredibly attentive to the needs of each animal, whether it’s following detailed instructions for feeding and medication, or just knowing when a dog needs a little extra playtime or a calm snuggle. She's dependable, punctual, and takes her responsibilities seriously. Clients can trust that their pets and homes are in great hands with her.

Waikiki pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lina was easy to coordinate and communicate with and she took great care of not only my cats, but also my house. I know how much cat litter tracks over time and there was none to be found...it was clear she ensured cat-related things stayed tidy, which was much appreciated when coming home from an extended trip. It seemed like my cats liked her too based on update photos. I would definitely hire Lina again.
Riley is fantastic! She always takes lots of pictures and writes about her time with Millie for each visit. We really appreciate that! Some previous sitters he had did not write many notes about their visits. We are glad to have Riley and hope she is always available if we need another sitter!
I would highly recommend Janey for your petsitting needs. She obviously loves animals and takes special care with any instructions you leave for feeding, litter cleaning, etc. And she is quite the animal photographer -- she sent numerous daily photos and videos of her daily visits. I'll be using her the next time we leave town!
I left my 2 young Calicos for the first time to go on a work trip recently, and Sydney did such an AMAZING job caring for them! The process was stress free and my girls were both very comfortable with Sydney from the start. I also received daily pictures which reassured me that my kitties were in good hands! I will absolutely be using her services again in the future.
Daniel is fantastic! Although he is new to Rover, he clearly has a lot of experience with pet-sitting. He took wonderful care of our senior dog and cats. Daniel expertly used all of the features of the Rover website, to include logging check-in and check-out times, GPS tracking for walks, and report cards with photos for every visit. I have never had a sitter this thorough before. Speaking of photos, he took some great quality shots of our pets. I hope Daniel is available to sit for our next vacation, because I plan to be a repeat customer.
Olivia was great to have back to care for my elderly dog while I was at work. She was very mindful that I have cats and another dog. She even spent her time building a relationship with them, which was so appreciated! She was a great communicator and provided updates. I am now a repeat customer, and I love Olivia! Please consider booking her for your pets needs
Deanne was perfect for the job. My dog Mako is a bit reactive and has been scared since moving here but Deanne was so patient with him. Her communication skills were awesome as she kept me updated the entire time she was doing the drop in. If you’re in the Waikiki area, I recommend Deanne to take care of your pets!
