“We are repeat visitors and Bishop has fallen in love with one of Christine’s dogs. He looks forward to coming over and looks back everyone he leaves. As new dog parents we are relieved to give Bishop a chance to socialize and not be home alone all the time during the work week.”
“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. :)”
“Abbi was quick to respond for a short notice dog sitting for our puppy Moose. Unfortunately Moose became sick the night before so we had to cancel. She was really empathetic about the cause of cancellation and we will definitely be looking forward to requesting her services in the future when our pup is healthy.”
“Robin was great! Very sweet and responsible with our Chihuahua pup Ripley. Easy to communicate with - frequent updates and did so much to make me feel comfortable being away. Will definitely book another stay!”
“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 🌺🤗”
About: I am a natural born animal lover and have taken care of dogs since I could walk lol from puppies a few days old to supporting and loving a lifelong family pets take their last breath. I love beach days or even a nice walk with a furry friend, and will always accept cuddles on the couch with one of my furry besties. I am a stay at home mom so as long as the animal is friendly with my young child (19m) we are groovy. My baby takes after their mom with their love for animals I have a fenced in yard for bathroom/sun bathing in demand! and also a senior dog who loves to play and then snuggle at night to keep your baby comfortable and happy having a friend!
“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.”
“100% would recommend Joan for your pet sitting needs. She watched my almost 15 year old EllieMae who needs special attention and was very patient and attentive to her. I appreciated the pictures and updates she provided as I worried how everything would go. She put my worries to rest.”
“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!”
“Truffles loved his time with Arianna and family. Lots of great fun with zoomies in the park, walks, and resting snuggles with the family. Truffles had a great time, with lots of photo/videos of his fun time. Highly recommend.”
“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!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Akupu
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 508 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 508 sitters in Akupu, 86% 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 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.
