“Arianah is a wonderful sitter for Levi. She always gets him to eat all his food and takes care of him like her own dogs! Levi loves hanging out with her when I have to work.”
“Alexis took exceptional care of CASH! This was his first time with a sitter and Alexis was so patient with him and made him feel comfortable!! She provided plenty of updates and sent lot of pics! I know that CASH can’t wait to see her again!”
“Jessica is the absolute best!! She takes so good care of my baby, send updates, pic, and videos. We love her abs highly recommended her. Thank you Rover for helping us find a diamond in the ruff 🐾🐾🐾🐾”
“You can tell Niome has a heart for animals. Niome always makes Phoebe feel right at home. Phoebe has the best time playing with the other pups, and comes home exhausted from a full day of play.”
“Robin was great! Very sweet and responsible with our Chihuahua pup Ripley. Easy to communicate with - frequent updates and did so much to make me feel comfortable being away. Will definitely book another stay!”
“When Haku did the initial meet & greet, he seemed nervous and ill at ease with Penny's two dogs. Imagine my relief when we left after dropping him off for his first playdate and within minutes hearing from Penny that Haku was thoroughly enjoying himself and bossing the other dogs around. :) Penny is great at communication: she sends texts and photos and videos - I can see for myself how much fun Haku is having. We'd meant the daycare to be temporary until our son returned from CA; but Haku loves it so much we plan to take him at least once a month. Haku was 7 months old when we first started his playdates with Penny; I think it was SO important for his socialization: he loves meeting new dogs and people. I feel extremely lucky that we found Penny and Oliver and George!! :-D”
“Truffles loved his time with Arianna and family. Lots of great fun with zoomies in the park, walks, and resting snuggles with the family. Truffles had a great time, with lots of photo/videos of his fun time. Highly recommend.”
“Tracey was super responsive and provided frequent updates about our Bodhi boy. He had a great time playing with the other small pups. Definitely recommend!”
“Maribell was amazing! She took away so much stress of needing a reliable dog sitter when our moving company was packing up our house. I could not have gotten through this move without her. I wish we’d met sooner, but anyone looking for an above and beyond dog sitter should absolutely meet Maribell!”
“We are repeat visitors and Bishop has fallen in love with one of Christine’s dogs. He looks forward to coming over and looks back everyone he leaves. As new dog parents we are relieved to give Bishop a chance to socialize and not be home alone all the time during the work week.”
“Recieved lots of updates and great communication! My dog struggles with seperation anxiety and I know she was well cared for because she wasnt stressed out or desperate to see me when I picked her up, which was a major relief.”
“Truffles always enjoys his time with Sierra & family. They engage all day, with lots of play, walks and naps. He always comes home so happy, with many pictures to show his fun times in the house. Definitely recommend!”
“I never used Rover before and I am a helicopter dog mom but Haily made me feel comfortable. I love the video and pictures that i get throughout the day she’s with him. Milo (my puppy) absolutely loves going to doggy daycare with her.”
About: We are a work from home couple with over four years Rover experience! I grew up owning dogs, and I have spent a lot of time training them. Our Eurasier is named Izzy and our Shitzu is named Bailey. They both get song well other dogs and love to play. We have a lot of experience with dogs and love them! We have a fenced in yard a fenced in yard and both work from home. We have flexibility for scheduling times for walks and for boarding. Because we work from home, we are able to give regular walk and give plenty of attention. We have a very happy and energetic home for your fur baby to visit. Hope to see you soon! Because I work from home, I am able to give plenty of attention and walk them regularly. Our dogs are very social and used to having dogs come and go. We feed our dogs twice a day. We always separate dogs during feedings to make sure there is no unexpected food aggressiveness. We walk them three times per day. We are always open to adjusting schedules to accommodate your puppies.
“Madelaine was great with my fur babies. She even made my old girl so comfortable that she didn’t fight the leash or harness. I really appreciate and trust her moving forward with loving on my baby dogs. She treated them as her own and even gave special time and attention with them so they were comfortable in her home.”
About: I’m new to dogs but would love to learn! I can guarantee that each and every animal will receive the love, care and attention they deserve! I’m currently working from home so I’m open to taking care of the fur baby whenever, unless they’re staying with me I won’t walk dogs after 6:30. Booking with me entails; nonstop attention and love, especially since I work from home. Their leashes, litter and food must be provided with pickup/drop-off (If certain things aren’t attainable due to just getting to the island I can get them myself as long as the money is provided) Dogs— I have a back patio that they would be in the shade, a yard that they can play in and I will take them on multiple walks throughout the day and they’d get plenty of play time. Cats— I have two friendly cats myself, but if your cat would prefer to be by themselves I have a spare bedroom, litter box and cat tower they can use.
“Our mini Aussie Brew loves staying with Lily and her goldens! He has a blast and doesn’t want to leave. He is always well cared for and we get videos of him playing which we love! Recommend for both boarding and doggy daycare!”

Karen has been absolutely amazing watching my Husky daily while im at work! She take him on so many walk and adventures! Our pups get along very very well and seems to always be playing! I would 100٪ recommend her watching your loved ones, she really does care!
BB gets so excited now when I say she's off to see Navi and Luz. Her little head tilts and she knows when we pull up outside their home. She's cared for so wonderfully and that reflects so much when I pick her up. She's just super happy in their company and loves the little walks with Navi. The best thing for me is that I know I'm leaving her with someone I trust.

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 Makakilo 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 Makakilo, 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.
