About: Started young - I fostered a puppy in high school and pet sit for friends’ and families’ dogs. They’d rely on me to walk, feed, and be the best companion to their pets. As a cat mom, I know how it feels to not be there with your furry friend while you’re out of town or at work. I will be there to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of in those moments! I have a flexible schedule so I can help keep your pup company! Walking, at home visits for feeding/playing/bathroom breaks - Morning to afternoon is my biggest gap of availability. I am mindful when opening and closing doors, crating your doggie securely (if that’s their routine), being attentive while their playing to make sure they aren’t ingesting anything that isn’t their kibble, and most importantly reporting back to you if I notice anything unusual with your fur baby.
About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I treat every pet like my own. From energetic pups who need a good run to laid-back cats who just want company and cuddles, I’ve loved and cared for animals of all personalities and breeds. Your family member will always be in safe, experienced, and genuinely caring hands. I am a RN with multiple days off a week which means plenty of time for long walks and to hang out with your furry friends! In the home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their own environment and follow owner instructions carefully. Outside on walks pets are kept safely on the leash and given lots of opportunities to sniff!
“We have a pug who requires eye drops and a little extra care & patience due to his partial vision impairment, and Colby did a wonderful job in taking care of Totoro. She was kind enough to come meet our pug prior to the drop-in visit, and to ensure she knew how best to take care of all his needs & our expectations for her service. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Colby & will continue to use her services. We absolutely love her! Highly recommend!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, I have experience training 4 dogs from puppy age through middle age and up until senior age! The dogs I have taken care of range from big dogs (german shepherds) to tiny dogs (teacup chihuahuas). I have a very active lifestyle that allows me to have fun with the dogs and get them active. I have experienced working with shelter dogs, I actively walked them and fed them. I HAVE BASE ACCESS :) !! My schedule has my days ending early afternoons so I would be available to stop in for walks/check-ins after. My nights are flexible for night visits. I currently live in dorm housing where animals are not allowed but for care inside client homes I will keep a watchful eye when letting your pet out and pay close attention to instructions.
About: Growing up, I’ve always had multiple pets like hamsters, rabbits, and dogs, so I’m use to multiple species under one household. I love all animals and spend most time with dogs and cats. Since moving to Hawaii, I am unable to have pets of my own due to constantly relocating to different islands. My residency has predictable hours and allows me time to pick up shifts during the week and weekend. I am currently a full time medical resident and have weekends and evenings off. Im off most days by 4pm. My schedule is very consistent which allows me to plan far in advance. On my free time I am pretty active with hikes, beach days, volleyball, and weight lifting so for more active pets, I can accommodate an active lifestyle. I’ve had pets of all personalities so I understands that each pet is unique to their care.
About: I’ve watched over all types of pets from Jackson Chameleons, Koi Fish, and Budgie Parakeets to Cavalier Spaniels, Labs, German Shepherds, Poodles, and up to 3 cats at a time. Always included is picking up mail and watering any plants. I enjoy spending time with the animals and sending pictures back to owners of the fun we’re having! Multiple References from the Ewa Beach area available upon request. I’m currently working as a Personal Trainer, Swim Coach, and Dance Instructor. I’m usually at home on the weekends. Please reach out as to scheduling needs as my hours often change and can be tailored. Effective pet handling requires clear and open communication, especially when dealing with clients. I ensure that owners are always kept informed about their pet’s activities, health, and any concerns that may arise. I pride myself on maintaining a professional and reliable relationship with my clients.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats basically my whole life! I can't remember a time when my family didn't own a cat, or dog, or both! I've grown very used to all the aspects that go into taking care of our furry friends, from bathing to walking to giving meds. I also have experience with puppies and senior dogs, as well as small and large breed dogs! I work 9am to 4pm daily, so I'm always available for night time walks. I can do full time house sitting too, so long as your fur baby doesn't need constant check ins. Even though I'm gone during the day, I make up for it with lots of nighttime loving and cuddles!! I can adapt to what your pet needs. High energy? I'll play with them until they're all worn out! Couch potato? I love a good binge watching marathon! Needs meds? Just let me know how you prefer to give them their meds and i'll make it happen! No matter what your pet needs I'm eager to do it!
“Anela did a second sitting for our two shih tzus, Ginger and Mei Ling. Again , she did an excellent job and were assured with pictures of them and daily write-ups via text. I would gladly hire her again! Thank you, Anela! Cindy Q.”
“Robin did a fantastic job of taking care of my cats and kittens. She is very knowledgable about pet care, and I really felt at ease knowing she was watching after my babies. I will 100% book Robin the next time I need a sitter, I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks Robin!”
About: My pet care expertise encompasses a diverse range of skills cultivated through a lifelong passion for dogs. Proficient in dog grooming, I excel in maintaining their hygiene and appearance, providing services such as bathing, brushing, and nail trimming. With extensive experience in dog training, I employ positive reinforcement techniques to teach obedience, manners, and specialized skills, tailoring approaches to individual temperaments. Having been a dog owner throughout my life, I've cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and personalities, fostering a deep understanding of their unique needs and behaviors. Whether handling small, medium, or large breeds, I adapt care routines to suit their specific requirements, ensuring their health, happiness, and socialization. I am currently at home, so I am available full-time to take care of all my furry friends. I am happy to help any family in need. I follow whatever my clients want me to do. If there is a certain routine, I follow I, because I know how important these things are to the families of the pets as well as myself.
About: What sets me apart is that I truly love animals and have over four years of experience caring for pets. I’m responsible, patient, and make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable. I also have experience with puppies, including basic training, feeding, walking, and giving them lots of attention and care. I am a military spouse therefore I do have BASE access! Pet care fits well into my routine, but it depends on my part-time work schedule. I usually have plenty of free time before or after work and on my days off. I’m flexible and do my best to work around your pet’s needs, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or check-ins throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and safe. This includes feeding them on schedule, giving them fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning litter boxes, and spending time playing with and giving them attention. I also keep the home clean and make sure the pets are always supervised and cared for. I treat every pet like my own and do my best to make them feel loved while their owners are away.
“Madalyn is awesome! She absolutely adores my two cats and even got my shy one to warm up to her quickly. You can tell she really cares about pets. I will definitely rebook in the future.”
About: I’ve raised dogs and litters my whole life with my father so I personally have tons of experience with dogs and would be delighted to watch your pet! I live in a townhouse , and beside my house, there’s an unfenced yard for them to play freely ! I love watching dogs and cats of all types of personalities. Outside of my time at work, this is my number one passion! I hope to turn this into a full-time business one day! I have an apartment and walk dogs around the apartment for them to use the restroom and have a nice time and play outside and have fun!
“Caroline was absolutely amazing with our fur baby Cheeb! 🐾 From the very beginning she was responsive, reliable, and so kind. She took great care of him making sure he was well-fed, had fresh water, and got plenty of love and attention. I felt so comfortable knowing he was in her hands while we were away. She even went above and beyond helping with little things around the house, which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy and relaxed kitty, which says it all! I would 100% recommend Caroline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
“Rebecca is amazing! She takes such wonderful care of all our beloved pets; and always keeps us informed of all our animals with pictures, videos, and notes while we are away. It puts us at ease knowing our pets have such attentive care while we are away.”
“I was in a bind looking for a sitter for my boy Max. On short notice Andrea was able to watch Max. She came over each day to take care of Max and provided pictures. We were missing Max and those pictures meant a lot!”
About: Hi, I’m Sophia! I have been a pet sitter on here before but I was unfortunately locked out of my account. I was a 5 star sitter with 7 repeat clients, I kept pet sitting until I started my job at a pet store in 2024. Here, I worked with guinea pigs, gerbils, ferrets, cats, small birds, and small lizards. I am also a level one certified veterinary assistant and trained in basic pet first aid and CPR through the American Red Cross. In addition, I have two miniature dachshunds, two cats, a leopard gecko, and three crested geckos! After nearly two years, I am no longer at my job and am looking to get back into pet sitting. I am home most of the day and week getting things ready for my husband and I’s move. My pups are on a schedule where they eat twice a day; morning and evening. They are also crate trained, so leaving them to attend to your pets is not hard for me to do. I am always very careful to memorize any details anybody gives me. I always make sure to ask the right questions in the case that you may forget to tell me. I love sending pictures of your pets to you and just overall providing love and attention to them when you aren’t able to.
About: Friendly and Personal I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m great with puppies who need guidance and routine, and I have a soft spot for older pets who need a slower pace and extra TLC. I’m attentive, dependable, and always make sure pets get the right mix of play, structure, and comfort. I'm currently working part time so I will have lots of free time to spend with your fur baby ensuring they have a good time away from home. I have a fenced in yard and a pet friendly home. I will treat them like family in my home. If needed I can walk them and cage them if the service calls for drop ins.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waipahu
Avery is fantastic. She took great care of my three very energetic labs while we were away for 2 weeks. She cleaned up behind them both outside and inside the house and was very patient with our male dog pooping and peeing inside despite knowing better. She gave them lots of play time as well. Avery let me know my dog’s med was running out so I could order a refill; she even went out of her way to pickup the medication from the vet so she wouldn’t miss a dose. I had no worries while away; Avery def gives you peace of mind if you need to leave your dogs! She took lots of pictures and left informative and entertaining notes. Will definitely book again.
Sophie was a wonderful friend to my feisty puppy and took such tender care of my 19-year-old senior cat. She was prompt, attentive, and an excellent communicator throughout. My puppy adored her from the moment they met, which is always a good sign! She carefully followed all of my instructions, respected our home and property, and consistently went above and beyond. She even left everything cleaner and tidier than she found it after every visit. I wholeheartedly recommend Sophie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely caring drop-in pet sitter. Your fur babies will be in excellent hands. 🐾
Shandri took such great care of our dog while we were away for a short trip. She uploaded photos after every visit and kept me informed about her time with our sweet girl. 🐶 She went above and beyond, checking on our dog early in the mornings if she didn’t do all of her business the night before, and she even cleaned our dog’s food bowls before we got home. Our pup was clearly taken care of very well and we’d recommend Shandri to anyone!
Megan was absolutely INCREDIBLE! We were so nervous about finding the right sitter for our Chapo, especially since he can be reactive and very protective of his space. From the moment we met her, though, Megan made us feel completely at ease. What truly sets her apart is her patience, empathy, and genuine love for our fur friends. She took the time to understand Chapo’s personality and needs, made sure he felt safe and comfortable, and even went above and beyond by caring for his hygiene, health, and our home. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but that’s exactly what Megan does. We felt confident that Chapo wasn’t just being watched, he was being cared for and loved. We’re so grateful to have found her and can’t recommend her enough. Thank you SO much, Megan, for treating our Chapo like family!

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 Waipahu 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.
