“Great experience with Jacy. She is very caring and communicative. It was our first time boarding our dog with anyone and we were worried with his super active lifestyle. She sends frequent updates and our dog was able to play with others plenty. Great experience. Will definitely work with Jacy again on my next trip!”
“Our first sitter cancelled last minute and I was able to book with Anthony and Erika. They were great. Our dogs got along with their Hans. The got to run around in their yard and go on walks. We will definitely use them again.”
“Sherry really went above and beyond to take care of my fear-reactive and anxious dachshund. I received updates daily that reassured me she was taking extra care to care for him and his special needs. I look forward to my Bob spending time with her again, if we are in need!”
“It was my first time using Rover and leaving my dog alone overnight. However, Eric and his family made this process very easy for me. They were quick at responding and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them. My dog had a great time at Eric's place. There is a nice fenced yards for dogs to play around. I would definitively recommend them to anyone in the Homer area.”
About: What really sets me apart from other dog sitters is my personalized approach to pet care, driven by a deep understanding of each dog's unique needs and personality. I prioritize creating a nurturing and stimulating environment, tailored specifically to your dog's preferences and routines. With a background in canine behavior and training, I not only ensure your dog’s physical well-being but also engage them mentally and emotionally, fostering a sense of security and happiness. My commitment to open communication means you’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can rest assured your furry friend is receiving the highest level of care while you're away. I work part time, walking/watching dogs and cats is how I would like to spend the other half of my week. Monday - Sunday I’m available. I focus on maintaining your pet's routine as closely as possible, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable. I provide consistent feeding, exercise, and playtime, as well as any necessary grooming or medication according to your instructions. I also respect your home environment, keeping it clean and tidy.
About: Our family travels for part of each year, which makes having a dog of our own impractical right now. But we absolutely adore animals. Our daughter, Sequoia, spent part of her childhood on a working dairy farm. She’s an enthusiastic little skipping encyclopedia of animal facts, conservation efforts, and animal behavior. One of the highlights of her day is meeting neighborhood dogs on our walks, learning their names, and offering a treat and a little affection. We are posting here for the extraordinary pleasure of having doggies in our lives. We accept dogs from just one household at a time because we want the experience to be thoughtful, slowed down and personal. Before booking, you’re welcome to visit our home for a complimentary visit. Once you’ve booked, we’d like to come meet your dog in their usual home. We’d like to learn their routines, favorite games, funny habits, and where they are most comfortable. Sequoia’s involvement is always supervised by an adult, and we only welcome dogs that are genuinely comfortable around children. The adults handle all care and responsibility, with plenty of loving support around the household. We’d love to send you photos, little videos of your dog’s adventures, and even arrange one-way FaceTime hellos, or two way calls if your dog enjoys that! And if we’re lucky enough to capture those ears flying in slow motion on a romp, you’ll absolutely be getting that video. Our hope is simple: You’ll have a wonderful trip, your dog will have a wonderful stay, and we’ll all make new friends. After your return our daughter would be delighted to see her furry friends again, whether or not there’s another booking on the calendar, so let’s definitely stay in touch and make some play dates! I am home essentially all day, so visiting dogs can enjoy companionship rather than spending their vacation waiting for someone to return home. Whether you have an enthusiastic adventurer who could happily walk for miles or a professional napper who considers a leisurely sniff around the garden a very successful morning, I’ll learn your dog’s normal routine. I’m happy to include runs for dogs if they can handle! Between outings, there’s time for play, exploring our fenced outdoor space, relaxing indoors, getting attention, and simply enjoying the rhythm of home. With your permission, I’d also love to offer a daily home-cooked, real-meat treat. I’ll send updates throughout the stay, and we’re happy to arrange FaceTime calls if your pup enjoys hearing from you. I know how much trust it takes to leave your love bug with someone new. That’s why we welcome you to visit my home before making a booking. Come, see where your dog would spend their days, explore the environment, and ask every question you have. I’d much rather take the time to make sure everyone feels comfortable than rush into a reservation. My home has a dog-safe outdoor area, and I am home essentially all day. I accept dogs from only one household at a time so they won’t be unexpectedly sharing its stay with unfamiliar boarding dogs. Because I have a young daughter, every visiting dog must be comfortable around children. She is wonderfully enthusiastic about animals. Interactions are supervised, and dogs are always allowed the space and quiet they need. Before a stay, we’ll discuss your dog’s feeding instructions, health considerations, medications, temperament, behavioral triggers, walking preferences, and emergency contacts. You can expect genuine updates—not simply proof that your dog is still here, but glimpses of how they’re actually doing. Eating well? Settling comfortably? Discovering a favorite spot? Enjoying a particularly funny moment? Your doggie will only be as far away as the phone in your pocket.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lihue
Jacy was amazing! We were gone for about 3 weeks and she was able to keep our puppy happy and we'll looked after the entire time. Sent consistent updates via message/photo and video. Bella was a very happy pup the whole time. Jacy gave us peace of mind while out of the country. Mahalo!!!
Jacy was fantastic - caring and attentive to Archer, with a professional approach and excellent setup for success. She also has a professional dog washing setup and we booked her to give him a shampoo and conditioner and blow dry bath before we picked him up! Highly recommend and would use her again!
Sherry really went above and beyond to take care of my fear-reactive and anxious dachshund. I received updates daily that reassured me she was taking extra care to care for him and his special needs. I look forward to my Bob spending time with her again, if we are in need!

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.
90% of sitters in Lihue 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 Lihue 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 Lihue.
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 Lihue. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 90% 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 Lihue 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.
