“Tana was fantastic. She was really good with my older dogs; she adjusted to their temperaments and daily needs. She consistently communicated, sent photos, and most importantly I came home to happy dogs. I’ve had some poor dog sitters in the past and can easily tell the difference with the dogs are from a good or bad sitter. Tana was great and even took mine out for a hike! As a remote worker, it was nice to find someone who also works remote, so as to not disrupt them.”
“Kawehi took excellent care of both the dog and the house. We would love to have her pet sit again next time. Also, she had excellent communication and sent lots of pictures of our happy dog.”
“Alice provided wonderful care to my dog and 2 cats. She went above and beyond from start to finish. The regular updates gave me complete peace of mind — it was clear our animals were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. She also treated my home with total respect. Everything was exactly as I left it when I returned. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. We will absolutely book her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring pet sitter.”
“Ashley was great with our 4 month and 8 year old Goldendoodles while house sitting for us and even did so on short notice. Managing a puppy is never easy and she did a wonderful job. We came home to a clean house and felt the house was safe with Ashley staying in it. She kept us up to date with great photos while we were away too. Highly recommend Ashley for any dog walking or other sitting services !”
“She cuddles with my babies! It's my first time having a dog sitter for my two shy dogs. Liz was natural to approach them and I could tell she's an animal lover. She sends pictures of their activities every time, which will put your mind at ease. She'll make sure that she has all important instructions and suggest if there's anything needed. She's our nanny now - thank you, Liz, glad to have you!”
“Lei is a true animal lover at heart, you can just tell from how happy and excited she was to care for our pup. She was a reliable and trustworthy care taker for our dog and home while we were off island. She made sure to communicate well about our pup and home. Our pup was happy and seemed to have a great time with Lei. I would highly recommend her for house/pet sitting or any other needs.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Alondra! She stayed at our home for the weekend to take care of our dog, Molly, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, Alondra was accommodating and professional. She came by ahead of time to meet us, get instructions, and pick up the keys, which helped us feel confident that everything would go smoothly. While we were away, she sent us daily updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing Molly was happy and well cared for. When we returned home, Molly was her happy self, and it was clear she had received plenty of love and attention. The house was also spotless—you honestly couldn't tell anyone had been there except for our happy pup waiting to greet us! What really stood out about Alondra was her genuine, warm spirit. She is kind, friendly, and easy to communicate with while also being dependable and professional. It's never easy to leave our sweet girl behind, but knowing Molly was in such caring hands made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip. We would absolutely book with Alondra again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other folks looking for a sitter. Thank you, Alondra, for taking such great care of Molly and our home! We appreciate you.”
“Alyson was lovely!! She really took care of my baby with a bunch of walks and snuggles. She constantly sent photos and I felt like Lincoln (our pup) was in the best of hands!! Thank you so much!! Highly recommend!!”
“Nicole is lovely to work with. She was so incredible with my dog and was extremely attentive! She took great care of the house and send lots of pictures of my sweet girl, I think my dog likes her more than me haha!”
“Veronica was an absolute dream to work with! Our older pups started experiencing some random symptoms about a week before our trip to Japan and we contemplated cancelling the whole trip but Veronica gave us so much comfort and reassurance which also gave us peace of mind. We were in communication every day and she also sent pics/videos which was so calming for us. Normally we don't worry as much but our dogs are 16 and 13 years old but Veronica was very understanding and we cannot wait to work with her again. Thank you!”
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.
“Victoria is hands-down the most attentive sitter I’ve ever used on Rover. She stayed at my apartment with my Labradoodle, Shiplap, for three days and truly went above and beyond. Not only did she perfectly manage Shiplap’s specific mealtime routine, including his Amen prayer and Fresh Pet preparation, but she also jumped right into our daily neighborhood traditions. She made sure Shiplap got his social time with Sister and the other local cats, even handling the extra feeding for them. What really impressed me was how she handled my apartment’s quirks. My place has a few 'old building' issues like a tricky toilet handle and specific AC breakers, and Victoria managed everything flawlessly. She even kept up with Shiplap’s cooling routine with his fans and towels. What really set her apart was the communication. She sent frequent updates and adorable photos of Shiplap throughout the day, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. I returned to a happy dog and a perfectly kept home. If you want someone who treats your pet and your home like their own, hire Victoria!”
“Sophia is our go to pet/house sitter. She has done an amazing job watching our place while we are away. She is reliable, has great communication and always takes great care of our dog shadow. While we are gone she gives us daily updates which puts us at ease. We highly recommend Sophia!”
“Shalyn was amazing with our little Eddie. She sent lots of pictures and was very quick to respond while we were away. We came home to a clean home as well. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Sasha was punctual, polite, and made us feel safe leaving our dog in her hands. We were nervous since it was our first time using Rover, but her calm attitude made us feel at ease.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Waimanalo is $50

Julie was awesome! Both of my pets absolutely adored her, even my notoriously grouchy kitty! I always hate leaving them when I travel, but I felt completely comfortable with them in Julie’s care. She provided regular updates and photos and it was evident how much they liked her too. I will definitely rebook with Julie the next time I have travel.
Joshua looked after my two very active dogs for 18 nights, in my home. He sent regular updates, including photos and videos. He also offered to take care of watering plants while there. The dogs were very well exercised and taken care of. It was very reassuring to know they were being looked after so well while I was off island. I would highly recommend Joshua and will definitely request his services again next time I am away.
Alyssa stayed with our two dogs for five days while we were out of town. Of course, both of them were having skin flare ups while we were away. Alyssa administered all kinds of meds, creams and sprays which helped keep everything under control. She left the house sparkling clean as usual. We are so grateful!
Adiella was wonderful, we received regular updates and our neighbors mentioned that Ghost was very happy on his daily walks with her. She also managed a very challenging situation with an area wide power outage at our house. Highly recommend and we will use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Waimanalo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Waimanalo on Rover is $37.74 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,002 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waimanalo. 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 Waimanalo 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 Waimanalo 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 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!
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.

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.
