“Puka had a great time with Alexander. I appreciated the video he sent of Puka playing with other dogs. The fenced yard is a bonus where she could run free. Alexander is easy to work with. Will book again. Mahalo!!”
“I always feel completely comfortable leaving our dog with Bela. She checks in every day with photos and an update, which I really appreciate. And our dog clearly has a great time with her, because she always mopes a little when she comes home 😂”
“Christina was so wonderful with Zee Zee! It truly felt like I was leaving her with family. She have my little girl the very best care and welcomed her into her home like she was part of the family! I think Zee Zee felt like it was a vacation with all the attention she received. I also got multiple updates and pictures.”
“Dianne was very attentive and caring to our dog, she responded fast which was great since our booking was quite last minute as our previous house sitter cancelled. I was so grateful for her daily updates on Kui and am so relieved to have found such a great pet sitter close to us!”
“Hands down the best sitter I have ever had the opportunity to book with. She sent tons of pictures of Haru (my dog) daily, always kept me updated on his behavior. For the two weeks that she had him he was always in a happy mood. Playing with dogs, chilling in the house, running outside in their yard even if it was just for a few minutes due to the -40 temps. I believe he had the time of his life. I will continue to book him with her for the foreseeable future. I wish I could give more than 5 stars because that’s just how awesome she is. Thank you again, Nat!”
“Lucky was well taken care of when I left her with Raye for 2 weeks during Christmas. I received multiple pictures and updates on how she was doing. It was a long time to leave my pup but when I picked her up she seemed happy and healthy”
“I was exceptionally pleased with the constant contact Cheryl kept with us! A picture and a message every day we were gone, and if I messaged her for anything her response was immediate! I had a great feeling from the start and she did not let me down, I felt that my little one was in excellent care the entire time! Thank you so much Cheryl for the love and care of our precious fur baby! Definite repeat customers ❤️?”
“Rebecca was exceptional; a Godsend at the last moment. She and our kitten took to each other immediately and her attention and mature enthusiasm was very reassuring. Rebecca is indeed the best and has our highest recommendation. She’s our go to sitter from now on!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, bunnies of my own and just being with them is my passion! I would love to be able to take care of your pets. I am trying to find a job for some extra cash for college. You can contact me any time and I will most likely be free! I’m very flexible and loving when it comets to animals. As long as you have directions I’m sure I will be able to take care of your animal!
About: I bring years of experience of loving and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes, both at home and while families are on vacation or on a weekend getaway. I look forward to getting to know you and the needs of your fuzzy companion.
“Just a wonderful experience. Kandice is caring and thoughtful with her care of my dog Eevee. I felt that she was loved and in a family environment. Just couldn’t have asked for more. Will use her services again.”
“Perfect boarding for our small Lhasa Apsu . He had a good buddy their dog chewy. Athena sent good pictures with commentary everyday. Will use Athena again but now afraid our Bohdi will want to stay with them :)”
“Okay I was skeptical at first because he had only one review but how come Austin does not have as many reviews as he deserve? I absolutely am glad that I found him. He was just so great. He would send me pictures as often as he could and I could tell my dog was enjoying her time with him for sure in the pictures. Thank you!!”
“Vanessa was simply amazing! Not only did she take phenomenal care of my little cat, she was extremely accommodating when it came to drop-off and pickup, truly going above and beyond! If you’re looking for a caring, responsible sitter, look no further! Thanks Vanessa!!”
“We had a week trip coming up and prior to that, we did a trial overnight stay at Randy's for our dog. When we brought our dog on the 1st day of our week trip, our dog waggled her tail as soon as she saw Randy. We felt so comfortable leaving our dog to Randy knowing our dog likes her. She sent photos and videos to us during the trip and kept us informed how our dog was doing. We will definitely use her as our dog sitter on our next trip as well. Thank you so much Randy!!”
About: I have loved and trained our own Bernese Mountain Dogs (Germany and Belgium) for over 20 years, and fostered dogs (senior dogs, puppies, and Animal Control rescues) the past 3 years, sometimes taking in dogs who had no reason to trust humans, dogs that learned through our care that comforting routines and training through play helps them to trust again, and leads them to becoming more adoptable dog companions. I believe trust has to be earned with our dogs. Only then, will they let us care for them with love through routines they can count on. I look forward to continuing the routines you have already established with your pupper. I raised our dogs believing every day, every moment is an opportunity for training of basic dog citizen behaviors (come, sit, down, leave it, etc.) through active engagement and play, and daily walks and cuddles. Note: We still welcome in Foster dogs, and hope your non aggressive dog(s) will also be good pup ambassadors in interacting with senior dogs or other fosters. I work remotely part-time from home, and I am retired so aside from short trips away from the house for errands, I am here to care for your dog(s). With our own dogs, we held to a consistent schedule: a morning walk (7-ish), then breakfast, rest (to avoid bloat in large dogs), playtime several times per day in our fenced yard, and an afternoon walk, then dinner. We have a fully fenced yard on 1/4 acre. Potty-trained dogs are welcome in the house and on some covered furniture. We have a 30ʻ deck with an outdoor couch and chairs with with rolling gates to the outer yard. We also have a smaller fenced area for dogs who prefer to be outside in cool shaded grassy areas. I specialize in large non-aggressive dogs. Most of these dogs do not like like to sleep in human beds; I welcome pet guests to bring their own large dog beds for their stays.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hilo 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 Hilo.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Hilo 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 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.
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.
