“Eugene was great! He came over to check in before we left to go over the routine and he did a great job checking in every day. Lots of pictures which was appreciated. He even spent the time to hunt down our shy cat everyday to make sure he was doing ok.”
About: Hi, I'm Haleigh! I can't wait to meet you and your pets! I have been a dog owner for 11 years. Basil and I have lived with both dogs and cats throughout the years. I've consistently taken care of my friend's/ roommate's pets while they went out of town. I feel comfortable taking care of pets of all breeds and sizes! I'm also able to care for multiple dogs in a household, making sure that each pet feels loved. I'm here to provide all of the care, love, and walks that your pets need while you're away. *schedule* I'm currently working part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! I also have reliable transportation so get to your home. I'm currently living in Kailua. *Safety* Safety is top priority for me! I have extensive experience handling leash reactive dogs. I use treat based rewards to help reactive dogs feel safe by creating positive association with their environment on walks. I'm constantly scanning for potential triggers so that I can maintain a comfortable distance on our walks. I will always double check that harnesses/ collars are secure and that gates & doors are closed/ locked. *Typical day* A day with me balances physical activity, mental stimulation, and a ton of belly rubs! I love to allow dogs to go on "sniff walks" to reduce their stress and leave them feeling enriched! I like to change up their route of walks to provide variety to their walks. *Important info* I would like to know everything to ensure your dog is feeling safe and happy! * Socialization and leash styles * Health and medical history * Special care required * High value treats * House rules *schedule* I'm currently working part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule!

“Dune has been loving Alyson's drop in visits to let him out during the day when we are working. She has great communication and sends lots of photos. She has good attention to detail and does more than asked, like checking his water bowl. Definitely recommend!”
“Shelby was an absolutely wonderful cat sitter for my cat, Miki! From the moment we connected, she was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She made sure Miki was comfortable, well-fed, and loved while I was away, and I could tell Miki felt safe and happy with her. Shelby sent thoughtful updates and gave me total peace of mind. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable pet sitter.”
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’m Sophie and I have owned 5 dogs throughout my life and have lived and taken care of 3 different cats! They’re of all different sizes so I have no issue with size:) I’ve had to care for all of them multiple times and I never lose my patience because I love them too much. Animals mean so much to me, so I know how important it must be for yours to be put in the right hands. I know how to care for them, give them love, and follow directions clearly. I can walk them, pet sit for them, play with them, take them on a hike/to the beach, and feed them. Message me about any other questions or details you need clarified! I’d love to meet yours! I’m free a lot of days in the week so I have a lot of availability to help out! Just let me know a schedule you’re thinking of!:) I have had experience with giving dogs oral medication every morning and/or night. I have experience with feeding them, I walk them a lot and take them to the park and to the beach as well!
About: I’ve always had pets of my own and love to give them the best care of their needs, whether it’s love & affection to mental or physical stimulation, I’m ready to enjoy the day with them, Your pup will have so much fun with my dog (Oreo) & I. We hike daily and if your pup is active, they are more than welcome to join us on any hikes that we do! Or if they just like simple short walks that’s great too! I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible, as long as I know ahead of time, we can work out a schedule that works out! I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks or for play time. If your dog is crate trained during the night and you wish to continue, I have medium size crate but you are welcome to drop off their own crate with them, if they like to rest in their own crate, otherwise they are free to roam around the house and rest anywhere! Does your dog have any allergies to food/other things? or is reactive with another dog, or around food? • please let me know in advance so I can take precautions. I love updates of what my pup is doing throughout the day, when I’m not with her, so if you love getting updates of pictures of your pup throughout the day or at the end of the day just let me know!
About: I've been around dogs many years. Resume includes work at dog boarding learn to feed, clean, and handle pets. Hobbies include play with dogs, exercise, healthy habits, travel, shopping, and eating out. I am available to house sit and to provide day services. Seeking income and I currently stay at home. I am willing to have clients. Dogs are on property in a fenced yard with a few areas. We have morning and evening walks and play and training time throughout the day.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up caring for Labs, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, Border Collies, Huskies, and a Mini Goldendoodle — so I understand everything from high-energy working breeds to small companion dogs. When I was 14 years old, I became the primary caregiver for my Chihuahua, who was under a year old when we brought her home. I cared for her throughout her entire life, including providing attentive, compassionate senior care as her needs changed in her later years. That experience taught me responsibility, patience, and how to adjust care as dogs age. I’ve also cared for an energetic Husky, so I’m very comfortable with active dogs who need structured exercise and mental stimulation. I raised my Mini Goldendoodle from 6 weeks old and handled all of her training, so I’m confident working with puppies and reinforcing good habits. I truly believe dogs deserve an enriching life beyond the home. I love beach walks and hikes, and I tailor each outing to match a dog’s energy level and personality. While dogs may be part of our world, to them we are their whole world — and I care for every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work remotely from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention for dogs in my care. During working hours, I’m available for shorter walks (up to 30 minutes), drop-ins, and in-home care. My meeting schedule varies day to day, so timing during work hours will need flexibility, but I always communicate clearly to coordinate a time that works best. After 3:00 PM, I have full availability for longer walks, outings, and dedicated time with your dog. In My Home: Dogs staying with me have access to my office/guest room, the main living areas, and a fully fenced backyard at all times. Because I work remotely from 7:00 AM–3:00 PM, I’m home throughout the day to provide supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention. Dogs are never isolated and can stay near me while I work, helping them feel comfortable and secure. They’ll also have the opportunity to play with my docile and friendly Mini Goldendoodle, Nova, who loves having company. Of course, I always prioritize safe, positive introductions and will separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I provide regular walks, playtime, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level — whether that’s relaxed outdoor time or more active exercise. I follow feeding schedules, routines, and any specific care instructions closely to make the transition from your home to mine as smooth as possible. Drop-In Visits (Client’s Home): For drop-ins, I focus on keeping your dog’s routine consistent in their familiar environment. Visits can include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of attention. I always respect your home and leave it exactly as I found it, and I provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

I am home all day so will be with your pup the entire duration of the stay. Any nuances in schedule will be reflected on the calendar.

“Kara was wonderful! She truly went above and beyond when we needed coverage at the last minute. I am so grateful we found her and feel lucky to have her in the neighborhood. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi I’m Hannah, I’m 27 years old and currently live in Kailua. Most importantly I am an avid dog lover. I had an amazing rescue dog back home in Maine, as well as a miniature pincher and a cat. I have spent years taking care of my neighbors’ cats and dogs - primarily a huge loveable Bernese mountain dog! I have watched my parents large Catahoila Leapord Dog for months at a time as my sisters little Guamanian rescue and my Roomate’s 90 pound adorable Pyrenees Doodle. I have watched up to three dogs at a time. I am comfortable around any breed, size, age, and personality of dog and have plenty of experience and knowledge in handling and taking care of them. I would be more than willing to run with your dog as well, and I am capable of walking more than one dog at once if you have more than one dog. If you need my walking schedule to be flexible that is definitely possible as well! I typically work either 1030-4 or 330-9 so I am available early mornings and nights as well as part of the afternoons on any given day. I would want to know your dogs tendencies in your home, are they allowed on certain furniture, when do they typically go to bed/wake up, their food schedule, etc.

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.
Julie went above and beyond during her hangout with our pups. They’re not the easiest dogs and since they’re so big they can be a lot. This did not bother her one bit and I know they loved every second of her visit. Would love to have her stop by again. Thank you!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
