“Wanda & Lonnie are the best! More than a life saver… they took me at the last minute without hesitation. And my dog Cannon really made himself at home in their lovely home in Wailuku. They are attentive, caring and very loving towards our 4-legged fur babies. And now that we’ve established a relationship I won’t bring my Cannon to no one else but them. And, believe or not, I never worried about him a single time, I knew in my heart he was in VERY good hands! Mahalo a million times and hats off to the both of them!❤️”
“We are so grateful to have found Amber, Abe, and Einstein!! They sent us pictures and videos throughout Willa’s stay while we were out of town. It was so comforting to know that she was being cared for and loved by them. She had plenty of lap time, potty breaks, rest time and lizard hunting! We couldn’t imagine better pet sitters than these guys!!”
“This was the first time i have ever left winter with anyone other then family. Randi was amazing she new i was nervous about that so she sent all kinds of videos and photos. With winter being so small only 3 pounds needs extra care and attention. I will only be leaving winter with randi for now on i highly recommend her. Thanks again Randi”
About: I have extensive experience in dog training and care as my Dad’s business was in rehabilitation, training and boarding for dogs. I worked as an employee for 5 years and also had opportunities to help train and care for the dogs from 12 years old. I love learning more every time I interact with a new dog. I am skilled at training dogs to get over leash aggression and constant pulling. I have worked with many different breeds of dogs and have learned a lot about how this can alter their specific needs. I have a part time job where I’m busy on Wednesdays and Fridays. Otherwise I am available to enjoy time with your doggo all day. I live on a large property with lots of fun things to smell and explore! It isn’t fenced, I intend to keep your dog close with a leash unless you feel they aren’t likely to try and run away.
“Madison and her husband were great! Great communication. Sent us pictures. Swaggy seemed happy and very well taken care of! I believe he would definitely like to play with Madison again!”
“Bullish had an amazing time and I would definitely recommend Casey! I had an emergency and had to book him for a 2 say stay less than 24 hours from dropping my pocket bully Bullish off and he was able and happy to watch him. Bullish had an amazing time with plenty of play time and walks! Casey was communicative with updates. Definitely recommend and will be booking again! Aloha 🤙🏽”
“Mo is the BEST!! She took such great care of Nalu! Mo made us feel so confident and comfortable leaving Nalu overnight. She provided updates and pictures along the way and made sure Nalu had everything he needed. We will definitely bring Nalu back for a stay. Mahalo nui Mo!!🫶🏽”
“The best sitter we could’ve hoped for! Everything went better than expected, loved all the pics they sent throughout the week and put us at ease that our baby was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Michele & Brian took such wonderful care of our 1.5yr old Kruz, and we’re truly so grateful! He’s a high-energy pup and can definitely be a handful, especially in a new environment with new people and dogs but they handled him with so much patience, structure, and care. They have a beautiful & fenced property — kept him active with daily walks and dog park visits (which he absolutely loved!) and even worked on some training. It was so reassuring to know he was not only being cared for, but also engaged and learning. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We truly appreciate the time, attention, and extra effort they put into caring for him. Thank you both again for keeping up with our energetic boy - you’re amazing ⭐️🤗”
“Leah was great!! Louis Vuitton had a great time with Leah and Marley. At first I was worried but Leah took care of Louis like it was her own and Marley was a super companion. Overall rating a 5 star!! Louis will be back there again when we go on another trip. Thank you Leah and Marley.”
“Mehana took such incredible care of my elderly dog, Koa, while I was away for three days getting married. Leaving him can be stressful, especially with his extra needs, but she made the entire experience worry-free. She kept me updated with pictures and regular messages, which meant so much. I always knew how he was doing, especially during times when he was having trouble eating. Mehana was also able to administer his medication without any issues, which gave me so much peace of mind. What really stood out is how she made Koa feel like part of her family. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and that level of attention and kindness is priceless. I’m so grateful for her responsiveness, communication, and the love she showed my dog. Mahalo, Mehana!”
“Gio did an amazing job taking care of my 8-month-old puppy, Mariko. She was great about sending me photos and videos of Mariko playing with her dog, Miki, and getting plenty of exercise. I really appreciated how attentive she was—when a problem came up with Mariko’s eyes, Gio was very prompt in letting me know and worked with me to figure out the best solution. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Mariko was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be using Gio’s dog-sitting services again the next time I need to travel off island!”
“Fantastic pet sitter! Taylor is so kind. She truly cared about our dog having a pleasant stay. She kept us updated with lots of photos which clearly showed how much fun our little pug was having. We felt so comfortable that she was in a safe and loving environment.”
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!
About: Aloha! I grew up on a small farm in Washington State, where animals were part of everyday life. That early experience gave me a lifelong comfort and confidence caring for dogs of all personalities and energy levels. After 10 years traveling the world running a windsurfing tour, I’ve now settled full-time in Haiku, Maui with my two kids (ages 4 and 6) and our 2-year-old Australian Kelpie, Marshall. Our home is a lively, active, and very dog-friendly environment. Marshall is energetic, social, and loves playing with other dogs, and our kids are also very comfortable and engaged with animals. Because of this, our home is best suited for dogs who enjoy activity, interaction, and being part of a busy, engaging household. We live on a spacious property with a large fenced outdoor deck and room for safe play and movement. Dogs in my care are always supervised, and I prioritize safe structure and routine throughout the day. I work from home, so dogs are not left alone for long periods and get consistent attention, interaction, and care. Daily life here often includes playtime, outdoor time, walks, fetch, and plenty of social engagement. This is a great fit for dogs who: • Love other dogs and kids • Enjoy activity and play • Are social, confident, or high-energy • Do well in a lively home environment I understand every dog is different, and I’m intentional about making sure each guest feels safe, understood, and well cared for. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your dog is doing. Looking forward to meeting your pup!
“Rochelle is amazing! My dog has anxiety so I can tell when he is comfortable and has a good time, and he was very happy being with her. She only takes small dogs so this was also a plus as Chewie is nervous around big dogs, especially as he was attacked by a larger dog in the past. I will certainly use her again. She is a gem!”
“Beau's first overnight with Nicole and I know he had an amazing visit. Nicole took the time to meet Beau before our visit and introduced us to her beautiful puppy, Delilah. Communication during the stay was great, we couldn't be happier. Thanks, Nicole and Delilah!”
“Madilyn was great! She really connected with our dog well. Her dog and our dog were like twin new best-buddies. But she gave us lots of flexibility, whether ours would stay with her by himself or if her dog would be there. It was perfect. Will definitely use her again. Mahalo.”
About: Hi there! We’re Shayele and Carl — a pet-loving couple who truly understand that animals are family. Between us, we have two amazing dogs of our own: a playful 3-year-old Boston Terrier and a sweet 13-year-old Cavalier King Charles mix who’s taught us the art of gentle, patient care for senior pets. Shayele works hands-on with animals every day at a local farm, caring for everything from donkeys and alpacas to goats, sheep, cows, chickens, and horses. From feeding to administering medications, you can trust that your pets are in experienced, capable hands. Carl brings a calm, steady presence and a big heart for animals of all kinds. Together, we’re reliable, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with furry (and sometimes feathered!) friends. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some cuddle time, or consistent, compassionate care while you’re away, we’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. 🐶 Reliable. Caring. Animal-loving. Always treating your pets like our own. 🐾 Pet care is a big part of our daily routine. Our schedule is flexible, and someone is usually home to watch the dogs. On the rare occasion we can t be home, we re happy to work with owners to meet each pet s specific needs. We love taking dogs along on outings and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. "We live in a safe, gated community with a large yard and a spacious field behind our house, perfect for pets to run, explore, and play under supervision. Inside, pets enjoy plenty of cuddle time on the couch, interactive toy play, and attention from us throughout the day. Our dogs often accompany us on walks, to the park, or on other adventures, helping your furry family member feel included and socialized. We carefully follow all instructions, including administering medications and accommodating any special care or routines your pet may require, ensuring they are safe, happy, and loved while in our care."

Makawao dog parents share their Rover experiences
It’s my first time ever to board an animal and using the Rover app. We were desperate in finding a boarding place and everywhere we looked were all booked, except for the folks on Rover. We are so grateful for Shanelle who took our little puppy in. Caring for a puppy is hard but caring for a puppy in rainy weather makes it that much harder. Shanelle provided pictures and details on what was going on. Her texts gave me comfort in knowing that our fur baby was in the best of hands. She cleared her calendar so that our little guy was the only animal that she was boarding. One would only be so lucky to have Shanelle board your pet. Definitely we would have Shanelle board our fur baby again when there’s a need.
Gio did an amazing job taking care of my 8-month-old puppy, Mariko. She was great about sending me photos and videos of Mariko playing with her dog, Miki, and getting plenty of exercise. I really appreciated how attentive she was—when a problem came up with Mariko’s eyes, Gio was very prompt in letting me know and worked with me to figure out the best solution. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Mariko was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be using Gio’s dog-sitting services again the next time I need to travel off island!
