“Rebekah was great taking care of my two cats! I think she primarily cares for dogs, however my shy cats warmed up to her and appreciated her around. Responsive and helpful. Despite being off island I felt more at ease with the communication. We were able to work through a door access issue and two storms/power disruptions.”
“Marie is AMAZING!! She is so loving and thorough with taking care of my furrbabies, I always have peace of mind when I am away because I know they will be loved and well taken care of 😸”
“I had a very busy week and was delighted to find Karen to come relieve my pup and play with him once or twice a day. I could focus on my work and know Jasper was in good hands!”
About: Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds. I recently lost a beloved family dog in Japan, which deepened my appreciation for the importance of compassionate, attentive care for animals. Although I do not currently have a pet of my own, I stay closely connected to animals through volunteering at the humane society, where I help care for and socialize dogs of different temperaments and needs. I am active, reliable, and very attentive to each animal’s individual personality and routine. I enjoy providing safe, loving care, regular exercise, and meaningful companionship tailored to each dog’s needs—whether that means calm indoor time, structured walks, or active outdoor time for more energetic dogs. I work mostly remotely, so I’m home the majority of the day and can provide consistent care and attention. I do have occasional appointments, but I plan my schedule to ensure pets are always checked on and cared for regularly. I’m also very active and enjoy hiking and outdoor time, so I’m happy to include pets who enjoy walks, exercise, and being out and about. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care or medications. In the home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and not alone for long periods, giving them consistent companionship and supervision. I keep the environment clean, calm, and stress-free, and I’m very respectful of the client’s home, treating it with care as if it were my own.
“Karin and her kids were awesome to Koa! She did a great job taking care of him and went far and beyond what was expected. Her kids playing with Koa warmed my heart so much and that was not expected at all and very much appreciated. Koa loves being with kids. I definitely would hire Karin again next time I need her. Thanks Karin!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with a Maltese who was my best friend, and since then I've been the go to dog sitter for friends and family. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including Huskies, Border Collies, Poodles, Shiba Inus, and many more. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and tend to treat them like my own kids. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or keeping them company while you're away, I'll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I work from home so I'm pretty flexible. The earlier we communicate the more flexibility I have. Typically more available in the afternoons and evenings I know leaving your dog with someone else can feel a little nerve wracking, so I'll do my best to make it easy for both you and your pup! Whether I'm stopping by for a visit, taking them on a walk, or staying overnight, I'll follow their usual routine and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and getting lots of love while you're away.
“I am so happy to have found Josh! In a very short amount of time, Josh has built a connection with Keaton and I haven’t witnessed Keaton being so comfortable and calm in someone else’s presence as he is with Josh. Today I watched them play “keep away”! That is HUGE for Keaton, who is cautious by nature, to allow someone to chase after him around the yard! It’s Josh’s calm energy, patience and kindness that is winning over my complicated elder gent. I highly recommend Josh and we are so very grateful to have found him!”
About: Exclusive, one-on-one dog care in my Waimānalo home on a fully fenced, quarter-acre property.

If and when I am out, your dog will be inside the home that was specifically created with your dog comfort. Each day follows a calm, structured rhythm based on the individual dog. Mornings begin with outdoor movement, followed by relaxed, unhurried meals. The day balances activity and rest, with space to move, play, and decompress, while gentle guidance is naturally integrated throughout. Evenings are calm and predictable, allowing each dog to fully settle in a safe, peaceful home with one-on-one attention..
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 :)!
“Brooke's communication during our trip was excellent. We got daily messages about how the dogs were doing and pictures, when the dogs cooperated. I could tell our girls were well cared for during our absence.”
About: I've had a dog ever since I was about 6 years old. I'm just turned 25 so that's just about 20 years of experience! I've started pet sitting and housesitting when I was 15 years old. I have taken care of all kinds of breeds from goldens, to herding dogs, and (my personal faves) bully breeds. I can work with all types of temperaments and energy levels :) I am currently serving active duty in the Marine Corps, so my days can look quite different, which is why I prefer weekends. During the week days I have PT starting at 5:30AM and don’t get off of work until 4:30. However I do have a 2 hour window during lunch from 11-1, but that is not always guaranteed. On the weekends I am completely open! I go to church on Sundays but other than that I am available. For overnights I prefer to come to the house at least a day in advance in order to see where everything is and what set up the pet(s) have. During the stay I try my best to send updates with pictures to ensure the pet owner is kept in the loop on a daily basis!
About: I have taken care of and had dogs my whole life! I had four dogs growing up as a kid that I watched while my parents went away, and now I have a fur baby of my own! I am a school psychologist by day :) Looking for something to on weekends on this beautiful island! Happy to take your dog out for weekend walks As the mom of an anxious pup, I am familiar with how to care for, leave, and greet your pup! I am familiar with crating dogs before leaving, sneaking out, or just saying goodbye!
About: I’ve taken care of many animals in my past and even present. There’s nothing I can’t and won’t do for my own cat and your pets too. Anything that is needed I will reassure that your fur baby is in the best hands. I’ve given oral medication to my cat including pills and paste! I have a very open schedule and a part time job so pet care is my top priority! Let’s work on a schedule to ensure the best care for your pets. I have a lot of space for animals I’d just have to check with my papa. I have a front and back yard for dogs they would enjoy the front yard the best. As of a client’s home, I make sure to take care of their pet and if I have any questions about the pet’s food or any other important items, I like to ask before the set day.
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.
About: Since childhood I've had pets of all shapes and sizes. Let me care for your pet as you would do. They are ohana and deserve the very best! I'm currently working part-time and am home for the majority of time most days. Occasionally I do have to go into the office for 4 hour periods. I will visit or stay with your pet in your home. I will walk them as requested. Provide multiple potty breaks throughout the day. Clean drinking water will always remain accessible, and the feeding schedule will follow your directions. Leave me with clear instructions and I will make sure that they are safe, comfortable and happy while you are away.
About: I have taken care of lots of pets since I was around 11. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their babies while on trips, or if they needed a day out! I have cared for dogs of different sizes and many breeds as well as cats and I’d be willing to learn to take care of others! I am currently a part time worker and work night times from 6:30pm, so I would have lots of time in the day to care for your animals! I can also do days I may not have on for availability as long as we communicated it. I can do any service until 5pm! Just message me about your needs and we can work through it! I am willing to learn how to cater to your pets needs and keeping the environment happy and the least stressful for your pets so they can be most comfortable while you are away!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waimanalo
If I could give Alyssa more than 5 stars I would. I contacted her last minute to watch my dog for six days while I was gone on a work trip. The evening I was leaving I got home from work and noticed my dog showing symptoms of an ear infection but didn’t have time to get her into the vet before my flight. The next day when the symptoms remained, Alyssa took her to the vet for me and treated her ear the rest of the trip. My dog then got diarrhea the last day I was gone, and I was out of phone service, so Alyssa handled it. During her regular visits she seemed to take good care of my dog and dedicate the time towards her care and needs. I highly recommend her if you need someone to drop in to take care of your dog.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Waimanalo 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!
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 .

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 .
