“I highly recommend Vicky for dog sitting! She treats our Fiona like she is her own and gives frequent updates. Fiona is very comfortable with Vicky and we love being able to leave her knowing that not only is she being treated with care, but that Fiona feels like she gets her own vacation while we’re away!”

“Sabrina is an incredible dog sitter! She gave my pups so much love and attention and made sure they got plenty of exercise. She even bought them toys, bones, and helped train them. She has a nice fence in yard with an entire dog playground! She also kept me updated and sent lots of pictures and videos. She’s incredibly kind as well.”

“Ashlyn P took our male Cat into her clean and pet friendly home. She took such good care of him over the week he was with her. She was great communicating with us via text. She sent us photos of Big Guy and we could tell by his look, he was enjoying his vacation. We were out of state in NY during the terrible Nor'easter Storm and had to delay our return drive twice. Ashlyn had no problem with keeping our Big Guy the extra 2 days we were delayed in our return. I highly recommend her for Pet Sitting in the Tri Cities area. There are none better.”

About: Hello! I’m Kiara I have my own board and train business from my home called Max’s K9 Academy. I specialize in professional dog training, behavioral modification, boarding, rescue work, and basic to advanced obedience through a balanced, individualized approach built on clarity, confidence, and trust. I’ve been dog sitting, and day boarding as well as overnight boarding dogs for others since I was 21 years old, providing loving, attentive care, daycare, and overnight stays while giving owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are in experienced hands. Alongside personalized training and behavior rehabilitation, I offer customizable board and train programs tailored to each dog’s needs or just board for owners who travel or need to go on a business trip. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I’m available for doggy daycare, overnight boarding, and I make sure every dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and individualized care throughout their stay. I have a fenced yard and two friendly adult dogs and a puppy, providing a comfortable environment for your pup. I prioritize safety, supervision, and each dog’s individual needs, boarding, and training. I have years of experience caring for and boarding/training dogs since I was 21, and I treat every dog with the same care and attention I would give my own.

“I took a chance. We were in a huge bind. We have amazing friends that loooove their critters and they trusted Danielle. She had an opening and we went purely on faith. We couldn't be happier that our Daisy actually wasn't all that happy to see her "favorite" person in the world pick her up this morning. I was a little shocked that she wasn't all over my husband when he picked her up this morning. But, it's an incredible feeling knowing she felt that safe and spoiled without him.”

Will definitely be coming back next time I need to board my pup. Thanks so much for giving my pup a great first boarding experience.”

About: I'm a wildlife biologist and lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I've looked after pets for friends and family for years and have two beloved cats of my own. I've also volunteered at nature centers and helped care for farm animals, giving me a unique background in both domestic and wild animal care. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs extra TLC, I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine love to every visit. I work full time, so mornings before 8 am, evenings after 4pm and weekends work best for me! Within those hours, my schedule is flexible, so I’m available for daily drop-ins, walks, or extended stays. Whether it's an evening walk or feeding, or just playtime and cuddles, I’m happy to fit your pet's needs into my routine. I love for my pets and others’ pets to be spoiled and very loved in my home! If your pet is boarding at my home, I have an open yard for a dog to run around/play in, but it is not fenced in. I live close to parks and would be happy to take them on walks there as well! I have a comfortable home with plenty of comfy spaces for them to relax in as well.

About: I was an on-the-job trained vet tech for 6 years and loved every minute of it! I ended up transitioning to the human medicine world, and have been in the ER almost 11 years. From axolotls to parrots, I have had all kinds of experience with pet-keeping! Animals will always be my passion 🐾🩷 I work second shift at the ER, so my schedule is very sporadic! I’m pretty flexible on my days off though. On days I work, I’m happy to come pet sit before or after my shift. I have a fenced in yard, two sweet dogs and 3 friendly cats that would be around! I’m happy to kennel or keep pets separated if needed though.

About: Hi, I am a compassionate and dependable recent retiree. My two senior dogs passed away in the past 6 months and I am without any fur-babies for the first time in decades. I am honored to spend quality time with your loved one so you can have a worry-free vacation and I can have some doggy/kitty time! I am newly retired and have plenty of free time. I do have some community activities but I spend most of my time working on projects at home. So your pup will have company pretty much all day whether you are boarding with me or I am housesitting for you. I am a very active senior and have a daily exercise and yoga routine and my home is a healthy and veg-friendly household. I'll gladly walk your dog to the level he/she is used to (if it's hot I will walk early morning and/or evenings). My intention is to have your baby feel loved and safe with lots of attention and play and by sticking to the routine as you dictate. I am very tidy/neat and respectful of your home. I'm happy to water your plants etc. If boarding in my home, my husb and I Iive in a house with a big fenced in yard so there is plenty of room for your pup to do his or her business and run around and chase a toy. The neighborhood is very walkable and dog-friendly. I can also take your dog in the car to favorite walks (with your permission). I request that your dog is 100% house-trained and has good social skills/manners as well as being comfortable with having their own bed to sleep in.

About: I have 10+ years of experience with cat and dog sitting, and also have experience caring for farm animals (I've worked on several farms). I’m comfortable and experienced working with pets of a variety of ages, from young kittens to older senior pups. I am available for pet sitting gigs in your home most days of the week. I also offer doggy day care and overnight boarding in my home Thursday afternoons through Sundays. I’m a flexible and responsive sitter, please reach out to connect! Our home is located in a private, quiet country setting. We have a fenced in yard for pups to play in. We have a dog ourselves who enjoys time with other pups and we also have an outdoor cat. Happy to take dogs on walks, run around in the fenced area, play fetch. etc. And, if cuddling is their thing, then I'll be curled up right beside them. Snugs = the best.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Kona

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 134 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Kona. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

93% of sitters in Kona 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 Kona 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 Kona.

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 Kona 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 NC 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.
