“Tracey and her family are a true team effort. I appreciate the good, clear communication and the expectations. I can leave my Rosie with them with confidence that she will be safe. I got a ton of pictures and a number of coorespondence thru the portal for peace of mind. I appreciate what they do and how they do it. Having multiple eyeballs on my dog is a huge relief and peace of mind. Thank you Tracey and Family!”
“Tanya and her family took amazing care of my two rambunctious pups. My dogs were happy and healthy when I picked them up. In the photos she shared, it looks like they had a blast.”
“I would recommend Christine as a sitter for your pet. She genuinely shows how much she cared and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable while I was away. She kept me updated shared photos regularly. She provided extra attention to my pup as he has medical issues. Her attentiveness, transparency, and honesty about how everything went meant so much to me.”
“My puppy can and was a handful. Regardless Yiye and family were great!. Lots of communication and I can tell they truly care about your family member! Mahalo for the 10 days of taking great care of Rocket!”
“Simeon was great and knowledgeable about dogs. We are appreciative that he accepted our booking request last minute as our previous one failed through a day before. We had “meet and greet” with him and his pup a day before, which went well. We will definitely board our dog with him again. Thank you!”
“Jessica was amazing. She sent pics daily. i really felt comfortable leaving my little chihuahua with her. I loved that Lexi had other dogs and children to play with. i would certainly recommend Jessica”
“Miho walked our pup every morning and evening. She sent pictures and updates daily. I know that our fur baby was in good hands while we were away! I would highly recommend Miho!”
“Shandri provided loving care for our pet Tuffee. She went out of her way to assure he was comfortable and safe. He came home in good spirits and it was like he had been on great vacation himself! We would want to book with Shandri again for sure.”
“Stacey was wonderful! She kept us informed, sent lots of pictures and really kept our dogs happy. We were new the area and she helped us find a Vet and a Groomer. She goes above and beyond and you can tell she genuinely loves dogs. We are so happy we found her to watch our little guys.”
“Kelly was amazing! From the start of the process she made us feel comfortable and made it so easy to book with her. She made sure our Perla felt comfortable and loved. We received pictures and updates daily. Definitely will use her again!”
“Daniel and his family were outstanding when taking care of our goofy handsome boy Neji. I think what separates them from other care takers, is how well they communicated during the duration of boarding. I received lots of great pictures, understanding of our dogs status in regard to his deficiencies, and awesome responses. Overall, amazing service and can be trusted. We will be booking again in the future.”
“She took really good care of Spoofy and always kept me updated. She kept his best interest in mind and made sure that he was very happy the whole time. Thank you for making Spoofy feel at home!”

Until next time.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life as I grew up with small breeds and now have two of my own huskies. I’ve had four dogs at once before (german shepherds). I have also owned two cats. I’ve trained three of my dogs since they were puppies. I absolutely adore animals and there’s no better experience than loving your fur babies as if they were your children. That is the type of care I can provide for your fur babies. I am teacher so Monday through Friday I get home around 4pm and stay home for the rest of the day. Saturday and Sunday and I am very flexible. Feel free to message me with any questions. I have a fenced patio and two friendly dogs to play with your fur babies. If your pet needs to be crated, that can be accommodated. While I am home, all pets can hang out with me and have free roam of my house. I also live directly across from a park to go on walks and play. The beach is within 5 minutes and I would gladly take them there if requested.
“Bambi loved his stay! She was attentive and gave me updates with photos daily. I could tell he was in great hands with Rieko and her family. Bambi played along really well with her daughter and other dogs. We will definitely use her services again!”
“I had such an easy experience with Kayla! She’s responsive and very friendly :) both her dogs are lovely. I had no worry at all leaving my Miso with her. My pup had such a fun time and was cared for completely. I highly recommend Kayla!!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Makakilo City
Tanya was amazing! We used her before for our golden puppy and she was so kind to her! She has kids that were super helpful and sweet too! 😊 This time I messaged her super last minute to see if she was available to watch our Bella again for a very last minute trip and she was able to accommodate within a couple of hours. We even needed to extend beyond our original time and she just took great care of us and our fur baby! Sent pictures and updates when requested. Our fur baby even came home with pink bows on her ears lol 😂 So grateful to have someone that loves on our pooch while we are gone so we aren’t constantly worried! Such a blessing! 😊 Her location is super convenient for the Kapolei/Ewa Beach area too! Will absolutely use Tanya and her girls again! 🌺 Mahalo Tanya!
Been taking my dog Makana to Ines since 2023. He absolutely adores her and sometimes I think he likes her better than me lol. Shes so attentive to him, goes on walks, has play time and is so knowledgeable of dogs. She has prior experience with behavior training and has helped Makana with all types of training. He usually goes to her house and stays, the longest has been for two weeks. I even needed her once to go to my house to pick him up(needed to leave the island), I trusted her with my key and she locked up and picked him up for me. There was also a time where he wasn’t feeling well and I think had some allergies. She kept me updated and even suggested a few things to help him feel better. I know he’s in good hands! If you’d like to ask me questions as a reference for Ines. Please reach out to her and she can connect you to me.
Excellent experience. I wasn't worried one bit after dropping Haukea off. Jessica was professional, sent cute pictures (not an overwhelming amount of photos) and communicated well! Haukea had a GREAT time! I highly recommend Jessica and will definately use her in the future.
Our dogs had a long stay with Angela as their first experience and I was so thankful that she was so responsive and providing updates and pictures on their stay. We had a meet and greet prior to boarding and Angela even set up a meet and greet with another dog that was going to be there at the same time for a few days. That was a great first impression and I knew she would provide great care to our babies. Thanks again for the great stay!
Miho was amazing! She took great care of our dog Apollo and sent lots of pictures with updates. She was very flexible when we had to extend our out of town visit twice and she was able to watch Apollo for longer. She was very communicative and responsive and our baby boy was very well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Miho!
Rachel watched my Husky pup Koda for two weeks, and I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She was absolutely amazing with Koda the entire time — incredibly sweet, dependable, and clearly treated him like one of her own. Koda was happy, comfortable, and well cared for, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated, was easy to communicate with, and handled all of his puppy energy wonderfully. I would absolutely trust her with Koda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Mia is an awesome sitter we have used multiple times to watch our two girls. We are are very comfortable with Mia and her family. Much mahalo to Mia for her help over the years, which helped us to enjoy and relax on trips knowing our fur-babies were in Mia's excellent care.
Carolina is a wonderful sitter and person! She has experience with dogs especially having raised Akitas, rotties, etc. in the past. She currently has two small dogs that played well with Tasha, a Shiba Inu. She had so much fun playing with Chili, her younger miniature American Shepherd. I would gladly use her again in my next trip abroad. Thank you!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Makakilo City 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 Makakilo City.
<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 Makakilo City 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.
