“Our mini golden retriever stayed an overnight with Kari and her sweet family. Cookie was embraced and became part of the family. She received great care and was very comfortable Cookie gave this dog airbnb a 5 star review. Thanks to Kari and her family. We hope to return again soon.”
“A super great experience in a friendly and loving environment. Brenda and Chief seem to love each other and have a great time together. Thanks again, Brenda. See you next time!”
“Alliyah is simply amazing. When I first reached out to her on Rover to see if she was available she replied with a ton of information. All the stuff I would have asked her, but she was right up front with everything. She explained her home life, her own pets, and how she was going to incorporate our pup into the mix. After a few messages and us both providing additional information, I just felt really comfortable selecting her to watch Reid. Drop-off and pick-up were very smooth processes. This was the longest we have boarded Reid, 10 days and he did really well and I attribute that to Alliyah and the environment he was in. We got updates and pictures and she was very responsive when I reached out to check on Reid. Definitely, the best boarding experience we have had. I 1000% recommend Alliyah for boarding and we will use her again.”
“Joleen took care of our dog very gracefully. I booked at the last minute and our dog was greatly welcomed by Joleen, husband and their two dogs which were very friendly and playful for our dog. Our booking was for 9 days and received checkin texts and pictures on our pup with out being having to prompt Joleen to do so. When I had a question, Joleen was very expedient in answering my text. This was my first experience with Rover and it didn’t disappoint. Joleen and her husband are very nice people and enjoyed meeting them. Their house was very dog friendly by having pretty of room to run and play in the fenced in backyard. When we picked up our dog his demeanor was normal and showed he also liked being around Joleen. Would highly recommend Joleen as a sitter.”
“We are thankful for Casey and the wonderful care she provides for our Shepherd, Kyah, when we are away. We will always recommend Casey and her family to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“This family was a delight to work with and they were so loving with my dog. They would have happily kept him forever but I couldn’t part with him. It was a huge relief to board him in a location where he received personal attention and lots of play time.”
“First let me just start off by saying Mary and her family are too cute! They welcomed my little Topaz as if he were their own! You can feel the energy of her home warm and inviting, her dog is very sweet as well. She updated me with pics quite often and she even game him a bath before I picked him back up! I would highly recommend her and would definitely re use her if ever I needed care services in the future! Thank you guys for being so awesome!”
“Excellent service, care, and communication! I am extremely particular about who watches our fur baby - one, because I adore him, care deeply about his safety, and do not like leaving him; and two, because we have had more than one bad experience in the past. Marketa and Jay were patient and understanding, answered questions, addressed my concerns, and helped allay my fears and worries. And the ongoing communication was greatly appreciated. I felt they were honest and trustworthy, which was a great relief to me as well, as I felt our fur baby was safe in their care.”
“Layna D and her family did a wonderful job in caring for my dogs well being and kept me updated everyday with texts and pictures. Completely trustworthy and responsible and I highly recommend her for sitting services. If she’s available the next time I go out of town I will definitely rebook.”
“Eman is absolutely amazing! She has watched our fur baby, Simmi, multiple times, and every single time has been a fantastic experience. Simmi gets so excited when we’re approaching her house, her tail starts wagging nonstop! It’s clear how much love and care Eman gives her. We feel completely at ease knowing Simmi is in such good hands. Reliable, kind, and attentive and is truly the only one I trust to watch Simmi 💕💕”
“My husband and I have 100% confidence in Chantal. She always provides great updates, is very flexible around drop off and pick up times— which is especially important when a train or a flight is delayed — and our dogs are treated as if they are her own, with lots of snuggling and play time. We have no anxieties about them while we’re gone. Highly recommended!”
“Loved, loved Jody, her home, and yard! Our pup Rakas had a blast! Rakas loved running around the fenced yards, she was very interested in the goats and chickens. Jody was amazing— sending videos and photos of Rakas playing and photos of her sleeping after a fun day of play. :-). Will definitely bring Rakas to Jody again. Really felt our pup was well cared for and given lots of attention!”
“She was great! Sent us lots of photos! And made sure our pup was happy the whole time!! Her son was also a sweetheart and helped take care as well! Will definitely have our dog stay with them again!”
“This was my first time leaving Goose with someone I didn’t know and Falen made it so easy! Updated me along the way with pics and videos and was so easy to check in with. I would 100 percent use her again and so thankful to be able to leave him with someone who loves on him like I would!”
“We had a great experience with John and his wife. They kept us informed and our dogs clearly had a great time and were well cared for. They have lots of backyard space for our dogs to run which they need.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was in preschool. My family has always had lots of pets throughout the house all through my childhood! I have lots of experience in giving baths, medicine, lots of cuddles and care! I will be sending plenty of pictures so you can see what your pet is up to at all times! I am currently working for myself while also working from home. This gives me all the time in the world to be just as attentive as you would be to your fur baby! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and open space for walks/jogs. My house is large enough to keep small dogs and larger dogs separated to ensure there are no accidents.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Big Island on Rover is $36.07 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 123 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Big Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
100% of Big Island sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Big Island landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Big Island home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Big Island.
Tip: 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 Big Island 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 VA 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.
