“I was beyond pleased with Isabell. The meet and greet was amazing and my dogs were happy around her right away. I could tell it was going to be okay as I was so nervous leaving them for the first time with anyone other than family. She is knowledgeable dealing with different types of dogs and their different behaviors and personalities. I enjoyed the updates and pictures. She always feed them on time and kept to their schedule so they felt comfortable. We did 3 overnights and Isabell left our home exactly the same as we left it and truly respected our space. We will definitely book her again and have confidence we can enjoy our time away knowing the dogs are taken care of.”
About: I had a dog for 7 years until he passed away while I was in college. He was the best companion and I really miss having a dog. This past year have been taking care of my cousin's puppy since she was 3 months old. She is a sassy Australian Shepherd Golden Retriever mix who loves playing with bubbles and going to the beach. She is getting more independent and no longer needs constant care, so I would love to help take care of more pets! I have a job in the evenings, but am flexible during the day. I spending time outside with pets and having a companion for walks and runs! I can fit a large crate in my car if you need help with pick-up/ drop-off of your pet! I can also care for your pup at your house and take them out for walks, or take them to the beach or park.
“Anastasia was wonderful with my babies! I have three mixed doodles and I could tell they loved her and bonded with her. She sent lots of pictures and videos and left my house very clean! I was hesitant to use rover based on past experiences but Anastasia did a tremendous job!”
“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!”
“Michela was wonderful with Billy and we would definitely recommend her! She sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout our trip, followed all of our instructions, and took great care of him. She also went above and beyond by washing the bedding and leaving our house very clean and tidy. We really appreciated how attentive and thoughtful she was while we were away. We would absolutely have Michela watch Billy again!”
About: I treat the pets in my care like they are my own pets. I love cuddling with them and give them kisses on the head. I just recently moved to Honolulu Hawaii and I’m working part time remotely. So I am flexible when it comes to housesit that has wifi. At home, I usually bring Daisy to the dog park around the evening. I have a fenced yard with a friendly dog name Daisy and a cat name Meow Meow. I like to talk to them frequently like they are children/ toddler to get them to feel more comfortable with me. And I give them lots of kisses on the head.
“Kayley was great! Very responsible, proactive, and easy to communicate with! She kept us updated on Cooper very consistently so we were never in doubt and was well-prepared and enthusiastic to watch the dog and house for us while we were gone!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs, and over the years I’ve developed a genuine love and appreciation for how much joy, comfort, and unconditional love they bring into our lives. My dog Charlie had the biggest impact on me. His love was completely unconditional, and he taught me just how special the bond between a person and their dog can be. Because of him, I believe every dog deserves to feel that same unconditional love, patience, safety, and kindness. When caring for your pet, I want them to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for just like they would at home. I’m attentive to their individual personalities and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or simply looking for some extra companionship and cuddles. Your pet is more than just a pet—they’re family. I’d be honored to give them the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. 🐶❤️ My Availability 🐾 I work full-time during the week, so my availability is primarily in the evenings. I’m generally available after 5 PM for evening walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and am available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and boarding. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for you and your pet! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Since I provide care in your home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I’m responsible, attentive, and always aware of my surroundings when caring for pets. During walks and outings, I pay close attention to traffic, other animals, and anything that could potentially put your pet at risk. I also understand that I’m being trusted with both your beloved pet and your home. I treat every home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine, and I’m mindful about keeping doors, gates, and other entry points secure. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and in good hands while you’re away. ❤️
“Riley was excellent with Lida for the week I was out of town. She is warm, friendly, genuinely loves animals, and paid close attention to the type of care Lida needed. When Lida’s separation anxiety kicked in, Riley was patient with her and communicated with me to work through various solutions. She never got frustrated with Lida, she didn’t give up, and it paid off. It’s not always easy to earn the trust of my anxious, high energy Staffy, but she loves Riley! While I didn’t ask Riley to do anything around the house during her stay other than take care of her own dishes, she took great care of the house, watching for packages and even going so far as to wipe down the sink and make the bed up exactly as it was before I left. Riley is a lovely person and I would trust her with my home and beloved pup anytime.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waipahu
Kenzie was amazing! She gave us daily updates and pictures of our girl, Cleo, and was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire booking processes. Kenzie offered to meet with us twice prior to our trip to ease our nerves and build a bond with Cleo. Kenzie was very respectful of our home while house sitting and we are so thankful for her. We will definitely book again with Kenzie again in the future!
Alexis provided great care for our pets while we were on vacation. We returned home to happy, healthy, and relaxed animals! She even took the time to sweep up and wipe down the house. Cannot say enough great things about her service and I highly recommend her care!
Alisha took wonderful care of our pets and home. From the moment we started chatting, Alisha was communicative and responsive. She wanted to meet us and the pets and showed so much kindness and care from them from the moment she met them. She regularly shared updates, making us feel confident and assured that she was taking great care of our home and pets. I would highly recommend her for house or pet-sitting or both.
Argentina was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our pup, gave him multiple walks, and sent us several updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was respectful of our home, took great care of my plants, and even washed our bedsheets without being asked. She truly went above and beyond. We were so impressed that we rebooked her on the spot for our next vacation. It feels amazing knowing that our pup and home will be in the hands of someone we trust completely. We cannot recommend Argentina enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Waipahu is $30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $47 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,006 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Waipahu. 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 Waipahu 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 Waipahu 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 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!
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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
