“Puka had a great time with Alexander. I appreciated the video he sent of Puka playing with other dogs. The fenced yard is a bonus where she could run free. Alexander is easy to work with. Will book again. Mahalo!!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, bunnies of my own and just being with them is my passion! I would love to be able to take care of your pets. I am trying to find a job for some extra cash for college. You can contact me any time and I will most likely be free! I’m very flexible and loving when it comets to animals. As long as you have directions I’m sure I will be able to take care of your animal!

“I’ve left my dogs with her multiple times now, for long and short stays. I get tons of updates/pictures throughout the day and the dogs always have a blast, and they get excited when I drop them off there. Definitely recommend!”

“He responded right away to my request. When we met, he showed me around where Gabby would be. He introduced his pack to my girl the right way, one at a time and slowly. Having a little pup, that put me at ease. He also sent me pics with updates which was really nice too. Solid choice for pup watching.”

“Athena took really good care of our corgi Roxy in her home. She would send pics and videos throughout the day to let us know how happy Roxy was doing activities with Athena and her dog. They all got along so very well. Roxy loved her time with Athena. I hope that Athena will be available to watch Roxy again the next time we need a sitter.”

Alex is great. We have sat with him in the past and when we pulled up to the house, our pup was already excited to get out of the car. She ran up to him as if he were her owner. Highly recommend.

Alex + his wife were great with our dog Dewey! He sent us pictures and videos of him playing everyday so we could know what he was up to & how he was doing. Really happy to have found Dewey a great place to stay while we’re away. :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wainaku home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Wainaku.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Wainaku sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in HI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
