“Tanya was fantastic! Picked my puppy up from home and sent me pics and videos throughout the day. She had a great day and was nice and worn out when she returned home. Thank you Tanya!”
“You can tell Niome has a heart for animals. Niome always makes Phoebe feel right at home. Phoebe has the best time playing with the other pups, and comes home exhausted from a full day of play.”
“Tanya did an amazing job caring for our Jaylee, who has special needs. During our meet and greet, Tanya took the time to get to know Jaylee and understand her needs. She was gentle and caring and I could tell Jaylee felt comfortable with her. Jaylee was well taken care of and enjoyed her day with Tanya and her family, exploring in the large fenced yard and hanging out in the house. Tanya shared photos of Jaylee so I could be assured that she was doing well. I'm glad I found another great sitter for Jaylee and will be bringing her back for another day care appointment soon!”
“Kara is great. She put Emma (and us) at great ease and took great care of Emma. We left Emma with Kara and could totally enjoy our time at our son’s wedding knowing Emma was being well taken care of. Emma was so calm when we went to pick her up so we know she had a good time. We’d definitely have Kara care for Emma again.”
“Kayla and family were excellent. Mr Truffles had such an awesome time with her and other furry friends. They all take such great care for him, especially Arwen. Location is excellent, with lots of place for pets to play around. Kayla has great communication, and takes great care of truffles. Lots of activities for him to do through the day, and he was so happy. I highly recommend Kayla to look after your furry friends, and will definitely rebook her.”
“Simeon was great! Really helped my family out by watching our puppy during the day. Made this back to school week a lot less stressful for me knowing our puppy is in good hands! Will definitely book again”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we met, I knew my dog was in caring and capable hands. Angela provided updates, photos, and messages that gave me complete peace of mind while I was taking care of errands for the day. It was clear my pup was not only well cared for but genuinely loved and treated like family. After picking Queen up from Angela’s place and heading home, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. The attention to detail, reliability, and genuine compassion exceeded every expectation. It’s not easy to trust someone with a beloved pet, but I would absolutely book with Angela again without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, communicative, and truly passionate about animals, I highly recommend her. She deserved every one of these five stars! Mahalo Angela and our Queen will be so looking forward to her August vacay with you! God Bless, ~Angie TM 🌺🤗”
“My dog came home pooped because she had such a fun day of play with Chelsea, Copper, and Momoko. Chelsea communicates often and has been very accommodating. I feel so lucky to have found her to care for my dog. :)”
“Eylul is so kind and attentive to our dog Benny! She communicates quickly and clearly and was very helpful. Most of the time when Benny stays somewhere he gets stressed and nervous, but not with Eylul - he was just happy and looked so comfortable. I will absolutely book with Eylul again!”
“We were very happy with the care that Shannon and his Mom provided for our dog. Shannon provided daily updates with photos while we were on vacation. His Mom was very caring and our dog was in great care. We highly recommend Shannon”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years and truly love being around animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved in my home. I have experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels, including puppies and senior dogs. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I make sure dogs are never left alone for long periods and keep owners updated with messages and pictures so they can feel comfortable while away from their pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving home environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty routines, and any special instructions provided by owners. I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive lots of love, supervision, and affection during their stay.
“Madelaine was great with my fur babies. She even made my old girl so comfortable that she didn’t fight the leash or harness. I really appreciate and trust her moving forward with loving on my baby dogs. She treated them as her own and even gave special time and attention with them so they were comfortable in her home.”
“Marissa and her two sweet pups created a warm and welcoming environment for Scruffy from the moment he arrived for his first day of daycare. Looking forward to many more visits!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Akupu
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 486 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Akupu. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Akupu commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 486 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of HI. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 .
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.
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 Meet & Greet .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 486 sitters in Akupu, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
