“Wanda and Lonnie were fantastic! I’m so glad we found them. My two Frenchies were well taken care of. Between the large yard and animals on property, my fur babies had an endless amount of fun. It was like my dogs had a vacation while we were on vacation. I highly recommend Wanda and Lonnie for any of your doggy needs. Thank you so much!”
“My little dog, Buddy, had a marvelous time with Leah. Leah provided great communication and kept me updated while I was traveling. Buddy made a new friend in Marley. We would absolutely use Leah again!”
“Bridget and her family were wonderful with Echo, who enjoyed the extra attention from the children. Bridget even gave Echo a bath at the end of his stay, and he came back looking cleaner and better groomed than he has in years. I recommend her strongly, and would definitely bring him back for another stay if I need to travel again.”
“Madison and her husband were awesome! We had never used Rover before and they made everything so easy and were very helpful! I loved the updates and photos we got from them! Thank you so much Madison!”
“Jurassic Bark is the perfect spot to drop our dog when we head out of town. I feel comfortable he’ll be safe, taken care of, and have a blast. My dog always comes home happy and tired from all the fun. Would recommend!!”
“Yen took such wonderful care of our pup, Blue, while we were on vacation! She kept us updated with lots of pictures, and it was clear that Blue was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We came home to a calm, content dog, a true sign he was in good hands. Highly recommend Yen and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Carrie & Jonathan take care of her and updated me. Carrie was very flexible and willing to accept her my request when my plans was changed. I appreciate it your willingness, and I am grateful for your support and care of my dog.”
“Dee was wonderful, the dogs had a great stay in her home while we were gone. I was happy they had someone to stay with so I didn't leave them home alone. She walked them and took them on car rides and played fetch with our one dog who never stops playing fetch. He actually wanted to stay & keep playing fetch with her instead of going home with me when I picked him up. I enjoyed the picture text updates we got too. Definitely satisfied and will use Dee again!”
“Daria was amazing! She took care of my 3 month old kitten while I was away for a few days and always kept me updated with pictures and videos. She had everything packed and ready for me as soon as I arrived. I would recommend her to take care of your furry friend and will definitely have her cat sit nine I the future!?”
“Our dog is a little anxious around people she doesn't know but Johnathan made her feel comfortable and took great care of her while we were away. He gave her lots of cuddles and took her for walks (her favorite things). He was really fast at responding to messages, and we'd love to use his dog-sitting services again.”
“Randi was very delightful and attentive to our 4.5 month old Pug. It was last minute over the July 4th weekend and she gladly welcomed our “Gus” to her beautiful home. She kept us posted with pictures, posts and videos to let us know how much fun he was having at camp! We will certainly use her again in the future.”
“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.”
“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 ⭐️🤗”
“Farah was great! My dog, Cali got to run around Farah’s big outdoor area with her friendly dog, Hoagie. Farah sent me update pics and was responsive to my last minute requests. I would definitely use her again for any dog sitting needs.”
“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 🤙🏽”
“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.”

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.
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!

FAQs for Boarding - Makawao
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Makawao on Rover is $64.38 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 59 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Makawao. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Makawao 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 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 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.
