“Rebecca is an excellent sitter - takes great care of our German Shepherd, communicates often and sends heaps of pics. We’re repeat customers and we love having someone we trust watch our pup. Thanks Rebecca!”
“Alexis took so well to my anxious little Ella. She was able to schedule a meeting before my trip and I was so happy to see that my dog warmed up to her right away (my dog is very particular about her people). Alexis made sure that Ella had her daily meals and potty breaks. I even received pictures and videos of their playtimes. I highly recommend Alexis and appreciate her time in making sure my Ella (and my home) was well cared for.”
About: I’ve taken care of an 11 year old fur baby till her last breath and I am very patient with all the animals! I really don’t have special skills other than playing the ukulele for them and spending quality time :) Aloha! My name is Kapono. I am a huge dog lover who enjoys spending time with fur babies of all ages and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just extra attention, I’m here to make sure they have a fun, safe, and a happy time! I recently graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA and I have returned back home. I am a dog owner myself. I have a 9-year-old Fox Terrier Mix and my previous dog that I owned I took care of until she passed away at 15. I am patient, committed to keeping pet owners updated with photos and communication, and really enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality :)! I have a fenced yard with a grass area where dogs can explore around and/or use the potty. My house is ac so if needed, keep them cool :)!
“Michelle is the absolute best. She stayed with my girls for a few nights and took great care of them. She’s great with sending detailed updates and photos. Michelle is reliable, professional, and has a special way with animals.”
“Aiden was so great! My animals can be a little shy at first but they warmed up to him super quickly. He sent pictures of them to us often and gave us updates daily. He even got my kitten a new toy! I will definitely book with him in the future”
“We sincerely appreciates Sasha’s taking care of our dogs and our home. Especially grateful she was able to check in on our dogs when our flight was unexpectedly delayed more that 5 hrs.”
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. ❤️
“Eva was absolutely amazing! She took wonderful care of our dog for 10 days and treated her with so much love and attention. We received photos and videos every day, which was so reassuring while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone! ❤️”
“We used Veronica to house sit and to watch our cat and dog. Veronica communicate with us daily about our animals and sent us pictures. She was super friendly and listened to all of our needs in taking care of our animals. I would recommend Veronica and definitely will be using her again to watch our animals.”
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: Hi! I'm Hannah, born and raised here on Oahu. I've been an animal lover my whole life and grew up around dogs and bunnies. I currently have a Cocker Spaniel named Lupin and a Lop Bunny named Mars.🐶🐰 I have experience caring for all types of dogs, including high energy, strong breeds like Afghan Hounds, so I am very comfortable walking and caring for big dogs. I also have experience with cats and am always eager to learn every pet's unique needs. I understand that caring for someone else's pet is a big responsibility. My priority is always to ensure your fur baby feels safe, comfortable, and loved as if they were my own. Outside of pet sitting, I love being outdoors, hiking, going to the beach, running at sunset, reading, and drawing. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you would like to discuss how I can help care for your pet!🖤🐾 I currently work full-time four days a week, with my days off being Wednesdays and weekends. I will have plenty of time on Wednesdays and during the weekend to care for your fur babies. On weekdays, I am available for dog walking after I get off work around 6:00 PM and later. Whether in your home or yours🤭, your pets will be very well cared for. From feeding, providing fresh water, and taking them on walks, to simply playing and keeping them company, I am dedicated to making sure they have everything they need. I am a very attentive and observant person, and if your pet requires any special care or specific accommodations, I will be sure to meet your expectations.
“Amber is the best dog/house sitter I have ever had! She was punctual, trustworthy and was great with communicating to me how my dog was doing. I will definitely be using her services again. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving sitter for your furbaby.”
About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets. I’m responsible, patient, and dependable, and I enjoy giving pets attention, playtime, exercise, and lots of care. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m currently available and have a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available for visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and other pet-care needs. I’ll make sure to give your pets plenty of attention and care while you’re away. I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep their environment clean and secure, and make sure they have fresh food and water. I’ll also provide plenty of attention and playtime.
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of various ages, genders, and life stages for friends and family. I have experience taking care of senior pets in critical condition and have handled emergency situations with urgency and care. I take animals’ wellbeing very seriously and I love taking care of them. I am currently unemployed and take online college classes so I have lots of free time! My only obligation is driving my partner to/from work but it’s easy to work around that! My cats are strictly indoor only and I play with them everyday to ensure they are getting good exercise and entertainment. A pet’s safety is my number one priority, they will not be left unsupervised or unleashed outside of the household while they are under my care.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, with extensive experience caring for show dogs. I currently live with and help care for three show dogs as well as a parrot. I’ve also provided pet-sitting services for professionally shown dogs, ensuring each animal receives attentive, reliable, and proper care. currently work full-time as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–3:00 PM. I’m available for pet care Wednesday and Friday evenings, as well as weekends as needed. I’m happy to work with pet owners to coordinate times that fit both of our schedules. Because I currently live with four dogs and a parrot, I’m unable to offer pet sitting in my own home due to limited space. I’m happy to provide in-home pet sitting at the owner’s residence, drop-in visits, dog walking, and other out-of-home pet care services.
About: I grew up on a farm and have had dogs of every shape and size my entire life. I have experience with dogs with diabetes and am comfortable giving them their shots. I am willing to drive to any part of the island but I am located in Ewa Beach so please allow grace for traffic if you are townside. Size does not scare me as I was watching over 12 horses daily in Kapolei, my elderly dog requires 4 medications a day so medications are a breeze as I’ve had to learn every trick in the book. *I have an elderly dog and young cat in my home so all animals must pass a flea inspection and have recent vaccines.* I am currently unemployed due to medical conditions not letting me be able to be in large crowds. I can adapt my schedule to you and your animals needs because of this and can be available anytime outside of my appointments and treatment days. I have a larger fenced yard in Ewa Beach, I provide filtered water for all animals and treat any animal in my home as if it were my own. In my house animals are allowed on furniture and beds. I will always leave a space cleaner than found, if I am house sitting/pet sitting I will lightly clean the area. If your animal becomes muddy, or dirty under my care I will wash them. If you don’t want them on furniture I will make sure they do not go on any.
“Giselle was simply wonderful! She sat for our two dogs over the weekend and kept us updated the entire time. She sent photos and updates and cared for our boys like they were hers!! 🐾”

The median cost per night for house sitting in Waimalu is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waimalu
Our pit mix puppy Koa has extremely high energy, is strong on the leash, and not shy about testing boundaries. Diego was amazing with him! Koa came home tired after every walk. Diego was reliable, caring, and has a genuine love for animals. We'll happily book with him again!
Anastasia was wonderful with my babies! I have three mixed doodles and I could tell they loved her and bonded with her. She sent lots of pictures and videos and left my house very clean! I was hesitant to use rover based on past experiences but Anastasia did a tremendous job!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Waimalu is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $60 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,006 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
