“ Giannina did a great job taking care of our dogs. She sent us the dog photos everyday so that I had complete peace of mind while we were away from the dogs. I would definitely book her on our next vacation and recommend her services. ”
About: I recently lost my senior babie due to old age. I'm wanting to fill that spot by helping others with their fur babies. I have no other animals at home. I'm good with large dogs. My babie was dog averse so very good with dogs who need a little extra patience on walks, etc... I've sat small and medium dogs. I've sat several cats. I can issue meds as needed. Well rounded in senior care. Looking to love and care for those that don't want to be boarded or are most comfy at home. I work full time 7-4pm. I can visits prior and after work. If you're close enough to down town, I may be able to coordinate a lunch check up. I'm free in the evenings after 430pm. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays so there is full time care available those days as well as most Saturdays and Sundays. I am now a pet free home. I have a small yard at my apartment that has gates on either side. I have an easy walking neighborhood with lots of potty spots. I've walked large dogs, little dogs, and medium dogs. I've not walked a cat yet, but willing to try. I will care for your pet as if it is mine. My apartment has inside cameras for viewing when I'm at work. Please reach out with any questions at all.
“Etta was great with Mooshu. Communication was good. I think Mooshu was well cared for especially because he has special dietary needs. Would definitely have her watch Mooshu again.”
“Berry always has a nice vacation at Jacque’s. He gets to be a couch potato if he wants to and he can run around and be a doggy dog when he wants to. I always feel Berry is safe and well-loved.”
“This was our 1st time using Rover. So glad I met Daylin. She made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with her. Everyday she checked in and shared plenty of photos. I will definitely use her again. Thank you so much again.”
“My furbaby, Allie, was very well cared for during her stay with Haily. Haily sent pictures every day including Allie comfortably ensconced on Haily's lap. Will definitely leave Allie with Haily again!”
About: I’m from the Finnish forests, where animals have always been a natural part of the family. I grew up in a home full of beloved dogs. My dad is an experienced dog trainer who taught me so much about understanding and caring for our furry friends. I have a Staffy girl of my own who hasn’t made it to the island yet, and I miss her deeply. Walks just aren’t the same without her. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time, so I can spend quality time with your pet throughout the day. I’m happy to handle walks, feeding, playtime, and snuggles whenever you need. I’m available to take your dog for walks or spend time with them in your home. I’m happy to follow any special instructions so your pet feel loved, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away.
About: Vet hospital background, dog lover, and honestly I switched to pet sitting so I could spend my days with dogs on their good days instead of their worst ones. I work from home and take online classes, so I’m around most of the day and can be flexible for walks and boarding, including weekends. I keep it calm and low stress: a quiet spot to settle in, doors secured, and no food or trash left where a nose can find it. I follow your routine exactly, same food, same walk times, same commands, and I’ll send updates and photos throughout the day. Since I work from home and take online classes, your dog won’t be alone for long stretches (or at all). I also work in process improvement/Lean Six Sigma at my day job, which sounds random for pet care, but it really just means I’m the person who follows the process, notices details, and shows up on time.
“John (and family) were amazing and we're very happy we were able to book a stay with him for Eva. He is friendly, super communicative, and made Eva feel right at home. She got lots of love, attention, and belly rubs. I knew she was in great hands from the start. I can’t recommend John enough, and look forward to booking another stay when we have to leave island for a few days since Eva was treated like family.”

“Laressa was so patient and understanding about my extra needs baby. The first day was an adjustment and then the rest of the week went well and our dogs played nicely. Laressa sent pics and videos so I could see my Berry relaxing, walking and taking over the furniture.”
“Diana is our go to rover for watching Ili. Dianna and her family take such good care of Ili. We are so grateful for them because we never worry about leaving Ili when we travel and ili has the best time, it’s like Ili gets her own vacation with lots of play time. Mahalo to Dianna and her Ohana”
“McKenley was great. She kept me informed on how Bullet was doing everyday. Numerous pictures everyday. I definitely recommend her and look forward to using her again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful dog sitting experience. From the very first day, Mindy treated our dog like part of her own family. She sent beautiful photos and updates every single day, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home happier than ever — tail wagging, full of energy, and clearly well-loved. He adored playing with her kids and thrived on all the outings and adventures they went on together. You can truly see how much care, attention, and joy Mindy pours into every animal she watches. She’s an absolute gem and we’ll be booking with her again without hesitation. If you want someone who goes above and beyond, look no further. Thank you for everything! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Lauren and Dale provided a safe loving environment for my golden. I was able to meet the family before hand and the daily pictures and comments on how he was doing provided a peace of mind while I was away. Also, appreciated that someone was home with the dogs all the time.”
“Mango absolutely adored Jessica and her family - the love and care they showed him was purr-fectly evident in his eagerness to return! I'm thoroughly impressed with the top-notch care and warm family atmosphere they provided, and I highly recommend Jessica's services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver.”
“Lily did an absolutely awesome job. I contacted her with a last minute boarding request and she was very accommodating. She took great care of Reuben and I knew I didn’t have to worry while he was with her.”

Charlene and her family were great! My dog can be a little shy/nervous around a lot of new dogs and people while in a new place, so I was looking for a sitter that didn’t take multiple dogs at the same time to see if that worked better for her. My dog is a hyper and pretty large girl, and she was able to play as much as she wanted, and still get some human attention. Communication was great and everything was easy!
Naudia is the BEST!!! She is my go to sitter even though it’s a bit of a drive she is worth it!! Pongo always has the best time with her and he is always very loved and well cared for when he’s with her! She sends lots of photo updates and I never have to worry when he is in her care! He gets lots of love, stimulation and exercise and loves playing with her dog! She truly is such a blessing and I can’t recommend her enough! So glad we found her!!
Taylor was a godsend! This was my first ever time boarding my dog, Benny, since I adopted him 4 years ago and I was full of worries. She settled all my fears and even made time to meet with me beforehand so she could get to know my dog and I on a walk in one of his favorite neighborhoods. When it came time to drop him off, I couldn’t have been more pleased with the welcome he received from both Taylor and her husband. Throughout my trip she kept me constantly updated on his walks, feeding times, and general moods while he was with her. I’m so grateful to have found a pet sitter like Taylor and her husband and I can’t possibly express my thanks in words alone. My boy was well loved and well taken care of while I was away and I can’t wait to use Taylor’s services again in the future. Thank you so much, Taylor!
WONDERFUL experience!!! Kelly and her partner were exceptional with their care with kuma! This was my first time ever using rover and being away from kuma overnight. I was very nervous to leave Kuma for 4 nights but after meeting Kelly and her partner, I knew Kuma would be in great hands!! They are both very friendly and caring! They gave updates daily with multiple pictures of Kuma having an amazing time which was really nice to see him so happy! Kuma loved all of the outings, walks, and adventures they went on. He was a very happy boy!! I don’t even think Kuma wanted to come home to us haha I would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone who is needing to find a great doggy sitter! THANK YOU again so much for your time and help!! Kuma can’t wait for his next stay with you guys!! 💕💕
Five stars all the way for Cassie and Merit! They took fantastic care of my German Shepherd, Rex. Excellent communication, reliable updates, and top notch care throughout the entire stay. Rex had a few accidents and they still took great care of him. Rex was clearly in great hands, and I will definitely be reaching out to them for future bookings. Highly recommended!
Selena did a fantastic job taking care of our little guy. He was about the same size as her dog, Kona, and had a great time playing with him. Selena was attentive and accommodating, helping Cody work through his separation anxiety while keeping him on his regular schedule. Highly recommended!
Natalee took such great care of my baby and kept me updated through his entire stay. I have a small senior (15yrs old) boy who has quite a few restrictions and needs, and not only did Natalee make sure he was well taken care of but also made him feel calm and comfortable in her home. I would book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.
Elizabeth watched our dog Kiki and was a phenomenal sitter for us. She was extremely caring and professional and went above and beyond in several ways. First, she provided an extra level of care by helping to treat an existing eye issue Kiki had and working with our vet on our behalf to coordinate interim care. Elizabeth was also extremely flexible and accommodating when we kept having to adjust our pickup time. She was also great at communication and sending updates. We would recommend Elizabeth to any pet parent looking for a top quality sitter.
Thamara was an incredible sitter. She not only did everything that a pet sitter should do, she went so far beyond it, I will always remember and hold her in such high esteem for all that she did. You are the best sitter I have encountered to date. Thank you for everything you did.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Honolulu is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $81 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 of November 2026, there are 573 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Honolulu. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
95% of sitters in Honolulu can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 Honolulu 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 Honolulu.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Honolulu. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Honolulu 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
