“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.”
“Madison was great with both of my dogs while I was away! She sent pictures and updates throughout the day and kept the house tidy. I came home from my trip with happy dogs, would highly recommend her as a sitter for your fur babies!”
“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover, so we were a bit hesitant; but Sam and Solene absolutely exceeded our expectations. They made us feel completely comfortable leaving our pups at home for four days, and we could tell right away that they genuinely cared. They treated our home with the utmost respect and left everything spotless. Even washing our towels and bed sheets before we returned. Our dogs were kept active, happy, and so loved, and we really appreciated the consistent updates and photos throughout our trip. It gave us total peace of mind. We highly, highly recommend Sam and Solene and will absolutely be reaching out to them again for future trips!”
About: I'm amazing with animals. (Dogs specifically.) I can say this confidently, because I'm able to understand and reciprocate communication without a single word being used. I've been attacked before, and stayed because I understand that misbehavior probably has a deeper issue than just wanting to cause pain. - Simply put. I love seeing animals happy within a loving environment. But enough with the bragging and sob stories.😂 If you need a walker, a babysitter, or someone to love the bad behavior out of your furbaby, please reach out! I have 100% open availability. I'm currently working on breaking into the freelance lifestyle, so my flexibility allows for last-minute changes and needs! Open to all days and times! I live in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful but unfenced yard. Your place is honestly (probably) better than mine. I'm a single independent woman with both professional and personal references - can be available to sit at the owner's location with ease of mind guaranteed!
“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!”
“Rochelle was great at sending updates and pictures while I was away. I felt very confident that my large dog Wisco was being well taken care of and that his special needs/requests were being accommodated. I would definitely book again.”
“Thank you Mike for taking such great care of Luna! We really appreciate the daily updates and photos. Plus you changed the bed sheets and left the house all clean! Luna seemed happy and we will definitely call you again! 🐾🐾”
About: I grew up with Great Pyrenees, Great Pyrenees/Border Collie, Australian Shepards mixes. I've walked, fed, brushed and played with these big dogs for more than a decade. The two Great Pyrenees sisters I currently help take care of have matured from 4 month old puppies to elderly ladies. I'm quite used to the typical arm jerk or pull that is often associated with walking big, enthusiastic dogs. I work during the day, but generally am up quite early and thus would be able to walk dog(s) before work. I am also quite flexible in terms of where I stay on Oahu and thus can easily incorporate dog sitting into my weekly routine. Alternatively, I have cared for large breeds in their owners homes in San Diego. I am extremely respectful of folks homes and belongings both in the context of pet care, as well as through AirBnB.
“My dog is on five different types of medications to address her irritable bowel and her arthritis. The doses cannot be missed and have to be administered on a strict schedule. Over the years, my dog has learned how to hide the pills in her mouth then spit them out when you’re not looking. If she misses her medications - especially the ones for irritable bowel - she gets sick very quickly and will get diarrhea. Sometimes violent and frequent diarrhea. So I was quite nervous about leaving her with people who weren’t familiar with her issues and her tricks. But Karen and Tony handled her like pros. How do I know? Because I came home to a healthy dog who showed no signs of having missed any meds. I can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of my Coco. Oh, and bonus, they are respectful sitters who left my home just as I had left it. They even laundered the sheets! Thank you, Karen and Tony, for caring for Coco and letting me enjoy my trip without worry. They are pros.”
“Liz is the best fur baby sitter ever! She was so wonderful and took the best care of my girls. She agreed to meet prior to the pet/house sitting reservation. I have 2 chihuahua/jack russels one is sweet as pie and the other has a touch of little woman syndrome and it takes her a minute to warm up. Liz meet Cielo and she hopped right in her lap no barking! I was shocked and relieved. On the return my flight was delayed and she agreed to stay a bit longer until we got home. Liz is so kind and accommodating. She also sent lots of adorable fotos, I plan on framing a couple. It brightened each day away and I was relieved to see them eating snacks and living their best life. It’s the next day/first day home and my dogs are moping around missing her. I feel like chopped liver. Lol! I may have to hire her for some play dates with them. I would highly recommend Liz! She will give your pet the Royal Treatment ?. Mahalos Liz! #dogwhisperer ?”
“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!!”
“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.”
“Michaela took such great care of my dog, Wally! She was incredibly attentive throughout his stay and made me feel completely at ease. She sent lots of photos and updates, which I really appreciated, and her communication was excellent from start to finish. It was clear that Wally was well cared for and getting plenty of love and attention. I would absolutely book with Michaela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Colleen was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and consistently attentive, patient, and loving toward our pups. She truly went above and beyond by taking them on hikes, giving them plenty of walks, and making sure all of their individual needs were met so they stayed happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her attention to detail really stood out, especially since she gave one of our dogs medication and made sure it was administered correctly. What also meant so much to us was her communication. Colleen provided daily check-ins and updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away from home. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about our dogs, and we felt completely confident knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Colleen to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated dog sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Such a sweet, trustworthy person. We booked her last minute and she did great. Sent lots of photos with our pups, handled some house things that came up and overall very communicative and responsive!”

Joshua was great!! He instantly had karma with our 2 Basenji's. He was VERY professional in all aspects. This was the first time away from home for us with these 2 dogs and Joshua gave us daily updates with pictures daily, and sometimes multiple times in the day. We were nervous with it being the first visit away and we were very happy that Joshua was with them. We will for sure request Joshua's services in the future and give him the highest rating possible. Thank you Joshua, Chris & Annette
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 $35.52 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,020 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.

- 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.
