“Thank you so much to Rebecca! She watches our cats with the utmost care and love. She’s sends the best updates and gets the cutest pictures of our little babies. She is quick to communicate and super flexible with our crazy schedule too! The best!”
“This is 2nd time booking Meagan and she’s proven to be reliable, kind, trustworthy and responsible with our 2 fur babies at our home ❤️ our one, usually aggressive doggie liked her from the first intro 🤗”
“Argentina was a life saver. She dog/house for my three dogs for several weeks and on very short notice. She sent many photos of the dogs and was in constant communication. My dogs love her. She took great care of my home as well. She is such a sweetheart and I will certainly hire her again next time I need a sitter!”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets since I was around 8 years old. I helped my senior dog when he couldn’t do things himself, as well as helped my relatives with their senior dogs. I’ve always been drawn to helping out animals, and not just dogs. I love all pets, no matter what size or age. I have patience and will take my time to make sure your pet is safe and well taken care of. I can do anything! Bathe, feed, walk, play, and more. I’m a fresh high school graduate. I’m going into college for veterinary technology so I can become a vet tech! Pet care will help me stay occupied while learning more on how to handle animals and prepare for my future. In my home/area, I will be able to feed, bathe, walk, and play with your pets in or outdoors. The same thing goes for my client’s house too, as well as making sure everything stays tidy while still giving your pet the care they need.
“Destiny was very quick in response and kept me updated about Sinatra. She was flexible. If she's available I'm going to use her as my #1 petsitter since I travel a lot for business.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, I have experience training 4 dogs from puppy age through middle age and up until senior age! The dogs I have taken care of range from big dogs (german shepherds) to tiny dogs (teacup chihuahuas). I have a very active lifestyle that allows me to have fun with the dogs and get them active. I have experienced working with shelter dogs, I actively walked them and fed them. I HAVE BASE ACCESS :) !! My schedule has my days ending early afternoons so I would be available to stop in for walks/check-ins after. My nights are flexible for night visits. I currently live in dorm housing where animals are not allowed but for care inside client homes I will keep a watchful eye when letting your pet out and pay close attention to instructions.
“Michelle super helped us out last minute when our flight got delayed! She answered right away and gave us such peace of mind by taking care of the pups. We love having her as a part of our pack!”
“I would highly recommend Ky for all of your pet sitting needs! She took care of our high maintenance pups while we were out of town for over a week. Both of our pups come with their own unique behavioral issues and Ky handled them like a pro. She sent us daily updates and left our place nice and clean. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs, and over the years I’ve developed a genuine love and appreciation for how much joy, comfort, and unconditional love they bring into our lives. My dog Charlie had the biggest impact on me. His love was completely unconditional, and he taught me just how special the bond between a person and their dog can be. Because of him, I believe every dog deserves to feel that same unconditional love, patience, safety, and kindness. When caring for your pet, I want them to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for just like they would at home. I’m attentive to their individual personalities and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply looking for some extra companionship and cuddles. Your pet is more than just a pet—they’re family. I’d be honored to give them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐶❤️ My Availability 🐾 I work full-time during the week, so my availability is primarily in the evenings. I’m generally available after 5 PM for evening walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and am available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and boarding. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I provide care in your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’m responsible, attentive, and always aware of my surroundings when caring for pets. During walks and outings, I pay close attention to traffic, other animals, and anything that could potentially put your pet at risk. I also understand that I’m being trusted with both your beloved pet and your home. I treat every home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine, and I’m mindful about keeping doors, gates, and other entry points secure. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and in good hands while you’re away. ❤️

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have hands-on experience caring for many breeds of dogs and cats. I’ve owned and cared for Yorkies, pit bulls, boxers, husky/German shepherd mixes, and American bulldogs, along with multiple cats. I’m experienced with daily care, walks, feeding schedules, bathing, and making sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my routine.

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.
“Jessica was a life safer; allowing the whole family to go stateside while being able to leave our two older dogs with someone at home relieved a lot of anxiety. She was a good communicator, took great care of the dogs, and left the house in excellent condition. I would definitely recommend and hope to book her again in the future!”
“Diana did a great job caring for our dog and cat. She was very communicative, kept us updated, and sent lots of pictures of our babies while we were gone. The house looked great upon our return. We really enjoyed working with her and would be happy to have her sit our pets again in the future.”
About: Dog sitting perfectly fits my active lifestyle. I'll treat your small/medium pup like family, providing the walks, fetch, and dedicated care I love giving. As a teacher on summer break, my schedule is highly flexible. Pups easily join my morning and evening walks, and I have plenty of open time between errands, reading, and relaxing to provide dedicated attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I care for your dog in your home by sticking closely to their established routine. Because my own living space is dog-free, I treat your home with the utmost respect while ensuring your pup gets plenty of personalized care, structured exercise, safe playtime, and tons of love.

Diana did a great job caring for our dog and cat. She was very communicative, kept us updated, and sent lots of pictures of our babies while we were gone. The house looked great upon our return. We really enjoyed working with her and would be happy to have her sit our pets again in the future.
Rebecca has looked after our cat and dog several times now over the summer and has always managed to keep them both happy and secure, despite their very different personalities! They genuinely enjoy to her visits - we'll have to get out more often! Highly recommended.
We had such a wonderful experience with Shalyn! She took amazing care of our two dogs and our cat while we were traveling off island, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. One of our dogs is very anxious around new people and can sometimes be reactive toward both people and other dogs, so we were a little nervous about leaving him. From the initial meet and greet, though, Shalyn was patient, calm, and wonderful with him. He warmed up to her right away, which is incredibly rare and gave us so much peace of mind. Throughout our trip, Shalyn was incredibly communicative and sent us lots of photos and videos, which we always looked forward to. It was obvious from all the updates how comfortable our pets were with her. Seeing how much the dogs played with her, sought her out, and interacted with her made it clear they genuinely enjoyed having her there. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and we’re so grateful for the excellent care she provided. We look forward to booking Shalyn again for future sittings and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter!
Sofiya did a long stretch of house and cat sitting for me. She is clearly a warm hearted animal lover. I appreciated her willingness to take on the care of my cat in declining health. She went out of her way to care for him and to keep me updated. The house was kept neat and clean. I would hire her again without any hesitation.
Britney was absolutely outstanding! She cared for my furry kids as if they were her own, ensuring they felt safe, loved, and comfortable throughout her time with them. Beyond managing all their daily needs, she took them to the groomer and picked them up, returning them smelling fresh and looking great, as always. Her meticulous attention to detail and genuine care truly set her apart from other sitters. Britney also went above and beyond by carefully tending to my Elsa’s dry eye condition—keeping it clean and medicated with consistent care. Additionally, she checked my mail for packages I was expecting, demonstrating a thoughtful commitment to both my pets and home. I wholeheartedly recommend Britney to anyone seeking a responsible, loving, and attentive dog sitter who treats pets like family. Thank you, Britney, for your exceptional, personalized care and professionalism.

FAQs for House Sitting - Waimalu
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Waimalu on Rover is $38.52 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,025 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waimalu. 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 Waimalu 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 Waimalu 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 Waimalu 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
