“Wanda and Lonnie are incredible. They are the dog whisperers. Our Enzo and Leo received exceptional care. My husband and I were so worried with our doggies first time being boarded….we were beyond fortunate to find Wanda and Lonnie. They are such nice people and so experienced with doggies. They really eased all our worries. Leo and Enzo have found their new home away from home.”
“Randi watched our two fur babies (Rosie and Ridley) last weekend while we got married! My two Chihuahuas are my children, and I was super hesitant and nervous to leave them with anyone! Randi walked me through the entire process. She wanted to know all about them before they arrived, what they liked, what they disliked, what they liked to do, eat, etc. She genuinely cared about them as if they were her own. She had a ton of space for them to run around and play in, and even let them sleep with her!! She is very friendly, easy going, and a natural doggy lover. She sent me a ton of photos and videos which helped me while I was away from them. Because of The Fox Estate, I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding weekend without worrying about my babies being in a kennel.”
“Bridget and her family were excellent caretakers for my dog Rhino! They are such a nice family and have a great yard for the animals to explore. Bridget sent frequent updates and photos which was nice.”
About: I've been a dog, cat, and chicken owner for much of my life. I am a dog walker, previous dog groomer, and volunteer at the Maui Humane Society. I have fostered many animals and my family and I are used to introducing new animals Into our home and loving them like our own. I would love to meet you and your pets and see how I can help them feel comfortable while you are away! My current schedule is very flexible, so let's discuss what you need! I am home most of the time and available on weekends for pet sitting, but not dog walking. I live upcountry on two acres in a gated subdivision. My yard is not fenced, so your pet will be kept with me in our home and leashed at all times when outside. I do not have any other pets, so yours will get all the attention!
“Emily is a great sitter and kept us updated about Noodle's health and his daily activities. She also made sure to send plenty of photos which we loved seeing while away from him. Noodle came back happy and well cared for and we will certainly reach out for future bookings.”
“What a amazing pet sitter. I would highly recommend her she was very good to my dog. She sent me videos and pictures every day. I felt very at ease on my trip that was out of country. If there was an option to give 10 stars I would have gave her 10 stars.”
“Our dog Nani had a overnight stay failure at other boarding place. At meet and greet with Eric & Nancy, Nani got too excited she started whining so I was a bid nervous for two nights stay. It all went well with great care and attention from both Eric & Nancy I’m now confident for another booking. They have a great property with huge fenced yard dog can run around yet peaceful if they need to be chill. Thank you Eric & Nancy! Nani is looking forward to another stay with you soon!”
“Lauren did a great job caring for our dog Barry. She sent us updates and pictures throughout the day. She is very caring and loving. She made sure she understood our dog s daily routine. Our dog was in great hands with her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Makawao
We are so grateful we found Nicole! Our usual sitter canceled right before a trip, and with our senior dog being such an important part of our family, we were nervous about leaving him with someone we didn’t know. From the start, Nicole was responsive, kind, and reassuring. She kept us updated with messages and photos, took him on hikes, and treated him with so much care and attention. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind and allowed our family to truly enjoy our vacation. We would highly recommend Nicole and would happily trust her with our dog again in the future.

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.
96% of sitters in Makawao 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 Makawao 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 Makawao.
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 Makawao 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.
