“My fur baby looks so happy, spending time at the park, beach, and playing with the other fur friends. Loved receiving all the daily pictures throughout the day. My fur baby loves hugs, cuddles and he surely got his fill of attention and love. Definitely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a sitter that will treat your fur baby like family. ❤”
“Vanessa and her family has been the best dog sitters I’ve ever had! I say family because her kids n her hubby all love n cherish any dog that visits. My dog literally did not want to leave. That’s how amazing she is! 100% highly recommend!”
“Madelaine and her partner are pet lovers. They took such good care of my pet dyring my business trip. I plan to have them care for my pet again dyring my next business trip!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my weekend trip! She was absolutely outstanding professional, dependable, attentive, and genuinely caring. Knowing Ziggy was in such good hands gave me peace of mind while I was away. Her kindness and dedication truly stood out, and I appreciated the care she provided. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional sitter!”
“Kaitlyn was great. She took in Bree with just a few days notice and Bree enjoyed herself. Kaitlyn is energetic and took Bree on daily walks (long) and that was important to me. As a pit-mix they need to be walked so they can sniff everything. Kaitlyn followed my lead on using the snacks in the puzzle toys to break up the boredom that Pit's can get if not stimulated. She was a great dog-sitter.”
“Tanya was amazing! From our conversations before our fur baby’s stay, to drop off, during and pick up- she was amazing! Bella was so well loved and cared for and gave us so much peace to enjoy our stay away. Her daughters sure loved on our puppy to! She sent pictures and communicated well throughout the entire stay and made me feel safe to leave a puppy. She clearly loves dogs- all stages and so I know she would love on anyone else’s fur baby well too! Will definitely use again and recommend to anyone that n Oahu!! Such a seamless, good experience! Mahalo Tanya, we so appreciate you!”
“Second booking with Tracey and this time it was a last minute booking. Tracey was very flexible and took care of Wally. Got updates multiple times a day. Thank you and will book again!”
“Our hunny bunny loved his stay with Diana and family. Diana sends updates daily with pictures which made us feel at ease. Will definitely book with her again!!!”
“Kary was great with our dog. We have had greater sitters on the past, but this was the first time our pup seemed to be happy and not super sad while we were away. Kary was very accommodating with our pup and sent me daily updates so we could keep up with how things were going. Overall I would recommend Kary 10/10.”
“I wss blessed enough to have chosen Devena and her family to watch over our dog for a week. Easy to communicate with and I could tell that our dog was very comfortable and happy with them. We will definitely be back! Highly recommend 🤙🏽”
“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!!”
“Stephanie was an excellent match for our 4 year old English Bulldog Ripley! She was very patient and helped Ripley feel comfortable in the new environment. We got frequent photos/videos and updates, and Ripley really enjoyed the attention and walks she got over her 2-week stay.”
“Kavina was very responsive and she kept us updated with pictures and videos two times a day for all of the days that our dog stayed with her. She took care of our dog very well and our dog had a very good time. Would book again.”
“Jocelyn was great. She made the drop off/pick up so convenient. She kept me informed on Chuck Norris’s stay throughout. I will definitely try to have Jocelyn watch Chuck Norris in the future. Jocelyn made the whole boarding process seamless and easy. From the early intro to the final pick and updates throughout the whole experience was perfect.”
“Emma has an amazing knack of making our pooch feel like family. Our dog was so happy. Instead of being left at home for family get together in the park he joined right in. Great photos and videos and communication while we were away. I think our dog may have wished he could have stayed with her longer. We’ve tried many sitters and Emma is by far the best! Thank you Emma?”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Makakilo City
We are forever grateful for Yiye and her family taking care of our senior dog while we were away. It was our Kisu girl first experience away from family and she had difficulty with the transition. Yiye sent lots of pics and videos daily and communicated often throughout the day. With the challenges that came with caring for Kisu, Yiye provided the best care and biggest heart. Our Kisu girl was well taken cared of. We can’t thank her enough. We highly recommend Yiye & Ta and hope Yiye will be open to pet sitting Kisu in the future.

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!
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, 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.
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 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 , 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 .
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.
