About: My dogs have always been my best friends. I have had experience with small, medium, and large dogs. I am careful to listen to and respect the routine and rules that you have for your fur baby, no matter how big or small. I’m a big fan of taking them for walks on the beach and shady hikes! I also love a good excuse to drive around looking for a good place for my pup to stretch her legs, or be a good cuddle buddy. I am currently a small business owner in private practice as a healthcare provider. Dog sitting was something I loved doing for many years, but paused to do to care for my senior dog for the last 3 years. After recently losing her, and not being ready for a new love of my own, I’d be honored for the opportunity to care for your pet. I live in Kaaawa but am able to travel anywhere on island to care for your pet(s). Thank you for reading my profile, & I hope to hear from you soon! I work from home doing telehealth, largely from 11-4 M/W/F so I have lots of time and breaks to spend with your pet. I spend most days at home, able to provide exercise and maintain routine feeding throughout the day. I am used to administering meds on a schedule and provide frequent updates to owners (if they’d like!). I am careful to follow the house rules and your pet’s routine. I know it takes a lot of trust for someone to care for your fur baby, and I am a trusted member of the community. I am transparent about my stay in your home and understand it is a privilege to be there and be trusted to care for your animal. I provide lots of play time and cuddles! I always leave homes cleaner than they are left. My reviews are older because of the break I took from Rover to care for my senior pup, but I still value the same service.

“Greg took great care of Nyxin during his first doggy daycare ever! Greg sent photos and updates to let me know how and what he was up to during his stay. Nyxin enjoyed playing with Zephyr and he definitely had a smile on his face when I picked him up! Thank you so much! I look forward to booking further overnight stays with Greg and Zephyr”
About: I have a dog of my own that I care for and pet sit for friends regularly! The pets I have cared for have become my pet friends and I go visit them even when I’m not sitting. Giving medication for pets is part of the daily routine with my pets so that will not be a problem if your fur baby needs to take medication. Daily walks and a lot of TLC is what I can provide for your pet along with any other needs that they may have. You can trust me to take care of your pet as well as I take care of my own because I understand how precious they are in our lives and it isn’t easy when you aren’t around them!! I am available most days all day to provide full care for your pet. Whatever their needs are I am able to be there for them and am sure to update my availability calendar to keep it up to date. I have a fenced in back yard with a friendly mini-schnauzer that pets can play in but they are also allowed in the house with easy access through a doggy door. I am home all day so if they can’t use the doggy door I can let them in and out of the house. If I’m your home I will do whatever they are used to.

I stay at home during weekends with my family. so I can spend time playing and taking care of your family member during day and night. We have a fenced back yard , that give the oportinity to our furry friends to play and spend their energy in a safe environment.
About: 🌺 I will be on hiatus July-August for surgery and recovery🌺 I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals, including more than 5 years as a kennel assistant and 5 years as a veterinary assistant. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve developed strong skills in administering medications, including insulin and asthma treatments. My time in a veterinary hospital has also given me valuable experience working with animals of all temperaments, allowing me to stay calm, patient, and attentive in any situation. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your pet gets my complete time, attention, and care. I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved, and that their time with me is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I have 5 years of veterinary medical experience and feel confident providing a wide range of care for pets of all needs—from those requiring more involved medical support to those who simply need extra love and cuddles. I take cleanliness and safety seriously, thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing between each client to ensure a healthy, comfortable environment for your furry friend.
“Rose is the perfect dogsitter! My husband and I both work and need someone to watch our Shiba mix or take her on two walks, and Rose was so flexible and easy to work with. Best of all she was so careful introducing our pup to other dogs walking with her, all my anxiety was for nothing :) 10/10 will be booking with Rose again!”
“Very friendly and accommodating of a trip to San Antonio. Received pictures of the dogs playing and updated throughout the stay. Highly recommend. Great fenced yard to play in and inside playroom to cool off. Would book again if in the area.”
“Tracey and her family are truly the best. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that our fur baby was being spoiled and well taken cared of. Thank you for everything❤️”
“Shauna greeted us friendly and was able to see in early morning. Our family went to Kualoa Ranch which has no pet policy so we had Shauna for few hours. After pet sitting, my dog vomited few times since he ate sitter's dog food and I haven't been informed that.”
“You know when Bishop loves his dog sitters when he jumps out of the car and leaves me behind. He loves his Ate Theresa and Uncle Clint. Theresa like many other of the awesome dog angels in the community she has given me a peace of mind while on travel, work or taking care of appointments for my Kupunas. Communication with Theresa has been great and we appreciate some of the last minute changes due to work schedules. Thank you for taking care of our new member to our family.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes for over 15 years and have extensive experience providing loving, attentive care. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pets. I currently have a dog named Dolly, who is a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pets in my home receive plenty of attention, supervision, and exercise throughout the day. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I take dogs on regular walks and use a secure backyard lead for safe outdoor time, bathroom breaks, and fresh air. I always prioritize pets’ comfort, safety, and routines to help them feel at home.
About: We’re dog lovers! Our home loves doggie energy. We can comfortably administer meds, injections and will walk daily. I work from home and my husband and I have flexible schedules. We can typically accommodate up to two consecutive weeks of care with consistent exercise and constant love. We are an active couple: beach time, hiking and daily walks are the norm for us. We believe that dogs are part of the family, whether they are our own or the fur babies of others. We have a 17 pound male terrier mix who is very playful. Being that I work from home, I'm here most of the day with an occasional appointment or meeting for a few hours. When Robert is off he's also home most of the day however he may go out for a bike ride or surf session. We also may meet up with friends for a meal out. Cooper (our fur baby) will be home to keep yours company but if you're looking for 24/7 type of care or if your fur baby has separation anxiety we are not the best fit since we may be out of the house at times. Your fur baby must also go potty outside unless we're caring for your pup who has physical or health issues that would hinder outdoor potty time. Our typical day starts with exercise then breakfast out on the lanai where you're fur baby will be able to join us. Per your permission/request and for an additional fee of $15/day, we will take your pup for a walk in the neighborhood. Walking your dog is almost a requirement because in our experience, they do MUCH better when they can get out with one of us humans and Cooper. We can discuss this on our meet and greet. We are open to taking your dog to the beach or on a hike if they do well in that environment. Your dog must be good on leash and obey basic commands if requesting walks or anything that would require a leash/lead. If you would like to add dog walking please let us know so that we can adjust the fee because it's not included in the boarding fee. Thanks! We have a fenced-in backyard with a doggie door so your dog can take their potty break whenever needed. My office has an open door policy so they will always have company when they want it. There is plenty of shade and grassy area for them to play and hang out. Our walks are typically around the neighborhood where there are very few cars passing by, if any. There is a park walking distance from our house and we may walk the park at times. Most often either I or Robert will be home and Cooper will be home to keep your fur-baby company if the humans need to leave for a short time.
About: A retired marine biologist. I have had dogs my entire life. Raised puppies and watched them grow old. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels. Retired. I’m available most days if you need your pets to be simply fed, let out to pee, or to be entertained. While I take same day requests, there are no guarantees because I have several regularly scheduled walks and drop ins. Please reply promptly, I archive when no response in 24 hours. I have a fenced yard and a young corgi who has full run of the house. He can be shy to other dogs. If your dog has any aggressive tendencies or Keahi does not get along with them for whatever reason, we cannot board your dog. Meet and greets are mandatory before any boarding or daycare. Dogs must be house trained for boarding or daycare (paper trained is not house trained). I cannot and will not leave food out. If your dog has issues eating when they are fed (I feed them when I feed my dog), I have to take your dog’s food away and store it. This is a house, not a kennel where your dog has an assigned lot. If your dog has these feeding issues, consider another sitter. I have no kids on property.
About: I've taken care of dog for a year on and off! I follow with trainings if your pet has trainings. Also provide pictures thru the day and some time to chat with the fur babies if u'd like . I will follow every step amd direction you give me. And will treat your pet as my family ! I am pretty open on most days, we can definitely chat and see what availability I have. I am a stay at home mom and take my husband to work so I have the car if I need to do visits or if an emergency emerges . I keep all pets inside my house, they are family too! I do have a fenced yard to let them out play or do their necesites. I have 2 kids with me and no other pets besides yours! I will be walking them around the neighborhood for exercise every day 3 or 4 times a day .

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Kaaawa
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 506 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Kaaawa. 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 Kaaawa 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 506 sitters in Kaaawa, 88% 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.
