“Jacque took amazing care of Cleo in her home while we traveled to Kauai for my son’s graduation trip! She sent daily pictures/videos to put my mind at ease. And, she gave her a bath the night before I picked her up so she was looking pretty and smelling great! I would not hesitate to use Jacque again!”
“this was my first time using this App. and our Dog Sitter Jessica is awesome, having a shy furbaby is hard for us to leave her with a stranger, but Jessica took her time to make her comfortable at her house ❤️ we can't wait for Sammy's next stay with her. thanks Jess!! 100% recommended”
“Angie took great care of our dog, Koa, while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure he was well cared for. We came home to a happy pup and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“So appreciative of Halina watching my cat Johnnie while I traveled. She put me at so much ease with it being my first long trip away from the island and made me feel like Johnnie would be loved and safe while gone, which she 110% was. Communication was super fast and always helpful and informative and Johnnie was always in good spirits in videos. I will certainly be booking again with her 😊”
“Jay was fantastic - he set up a meeting beforehand to make sure his and our dogs would get along and to talk through the arrangements. During the stay, he looked after our dog well, walked him daily, played frisbee with him, and sent us photos and videos. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren and Dale helped us out with Tucker for a somewhat last minute trip to the mainland. We super appreciated the updates they provided 2x a day with photos and commentary. Tucker looked very happy and loved during his stay. Thank you Lauren and Dale!”
“Yvette was truly great! The pups had a wonderful time with her and she gave daily updates. She was very accommodating to my last minute changing schedule. Was so happy to have been able to book her and love on the pups!”
“Carmen and Cameron did an amazing job watching my dogs overnight. My dogs were quickly put at ease by their care and had a fun time on their walks to the beach. Carmen was also excellent with communication and sharing updates. Overall it was a great experience for both myself and my dogs!”
“Rebecca was amazing. We were so lucky that she was available and able to take our pup last minute in an emergency. I could tell our pup also loves it there with all the attention he gets. Not only did he get great care there he got some important experience with children there as well. We are forever indebted and cannot thank you enough!!”
“Krysta and Pete were outstanding! They were so communicative, and so inclusive of our dog Koa. We loved the multiple photos per day and daily updates. These two will definitely make your animal feel at home while you’re away and that’s the most relieving part of it all. My dog loves to play and be stimulated while simultaneously being around “his humans”, which I can tell from he updates that’s what he now considers this family! I will always look to board Koa with them in the future. Many mahalos again for loving on our guy while we were away.”
“Taylor is great!! Pongo had a great time with her again!! She took him for walks and gave him lots of snuggles, he was a happy boy and was excited to go stay with her! Highly recommend, will definitely use her again!”
About: I have taken care of and had dogs my whole life! I had four dogs growing up as a kid that I watched while my parents went away, and now I have a fur baby of my own! I am a school psychologist by day :) Looking for something to on weekends on this beautiful island! Happy to take your dog out for weekend walks As the mom of an anxious pup, I am familiar with how to care for, leave, and greet your pup! I am familiar with crating dogs before leaving, sneaking out, or just saying goodbye!
“Rose is a professional and my pups were very well taken are of. Their backyard is excellent with plenty of flora and levels to keep dogs entertained. Wonderful family of kids and other dogs, so it was no surprise my pups returned happy and exhausted.”
“Tara was AMAZING!! The boys loved her and so did we!! She kept us engaged while we traveled out of the country. She was very responsive and sent wonderful photos of the boys. I would 100% use her again and will be! Thank you Tara for keeping us at ease while we were traveling.”
“AMAZING!!! After recently moving to Hawaii, I was worried about not finding a reliable sitter while away for a week. I found Tracey, and knew it was the right choice! My mini goldendoodle had a blast with a few other smaller dogs, i received multiple pictures throughout the day, and Tracey was very helpful with answering any questions I had to feel comfortable before charging! I’m glad that I found a great sitter on the first go, and thankfully, now i have someone to continually use that i fully trust! Thanks so much!”
“Senne took amazing care of both of my dogs and sent me updates and photos frequently which was nice! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome dog sitter!!”
“Worth every penny. Best sitter ever. Takes tons of photos and takes my dog on adventures. The family gives him so much love and takes care of all his needs. My dog loves them!”
“Danica is great, she took care of my Tamago like her own. Daily multiple updates and lots of snuggles for my kid. Couldn’t be happier to have left Tamago in her care.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Kailua
After several searches I was blessed to find Halina who had only one cat who is okay with a dog. It was comforting that she had some experience working as Vet Tech since my dog needed to be given eye ointments which can be tricky without experience and not hurting her eye. My 2yr dog can be hyper and also needs to monitor her water intake and play fetch to get her to drink enough water. This was first time using Rover but after the meeting I felt relieved as Halina had a pleasant demeanor. I also like that she only take one client at a time as other will take 2 clients. I enjoyed her daily pics of my dog.
Jacque did an amazing job taking care of our girls! We could tell they had so much fun because they were absolutely exhausted after their stay. She sent us lots of pictures and videos, which really put our minds at ease while we were busy with our wedding. It was such a relief knowing our girls were safe, happy, and well cared for. We would definitely book with Jacque again!
Jay was fantastic - he set up a meeting beforehand to make sure his and our dogs would get along and to talk through the arrangements. During the stay, he looked after our dog well, walked him daily, played frisbee with him, and sent us photos and videos. Highly recommend!
This is the second time our dogs have stayed with Carmen and Cameron, and they have continued to have a great experience. This time it was an extended stay of about 2 weeks and the dogs had a blast! Carmen made sure they got plenty of love and activity and ensured they were comfortable and happy during their stay. The puppies especially loved going to the beach!
We booked with Khaled on somewhat short notice and also extended our trip a few days. He was responsive, flexible and accommodating from the start. For two and a half weeks Khaled provided frequent and consistent updates, sending multiple pictures and videos every day. We never had to wonder, let alone worry, about what our Cooper was up to. Cooper had a great time running and playing in their yard and cuddling and snoozing in their laps. We greatly appreciated Khaled’s care for Cooper as well as his communication with us!

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.
100% of sitters in Kailua 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 Kailua 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 Kailua.
<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 Kailua 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.
