About: Aloha :) My dogs and I would love to have your dog stay at our house in Olinda! We have a fenced yard and a few (partially fenced) acres of land beyond that for the pups to play and fetch the ball (depending on your comfort level with that, of course). Delilah is a sweet 4 year old golden retriever who loves equally to play and chill. Bear is a 2 year old golden Aussie who *always* loves to play and love on other pups! We live 10 minutes from both Olinda forest and Makawao forest so we usually go for morning walks there 4-5 days week. We would love to bring your pup along with us! I work from home during the day. I’m never gone for more than a 5-6 hour time frame at a time and on top of that, we have a doggy door for the dogs to go in and out freely in our fenced yard. I have a fenced yard for the dogs to hang out in and a few acres beyond that (partially fenced) for them to run around and get their energy out in. I’m always watching the dogs when they are beyond the fully fenced yard. I will also make sure you are comfortable with your dog in this situation before doing so.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have an awesome 5 year old cattahoula mix who loves to make friends! We live at the back of Iao Valley, right next to the stream and have a beautiful fenced in half acre for the dogs to run around on. I work from home so will be w pup all day! They have free range to be inside or outside whenever they want. Lots of attention and love. I have a huge fenced in yard. Dogs have their own door that is always open for them to come in and out. Lots to explore and sniff!
“Becca was wonderful with Lily and her human. She went well beyond what was asked of her to make sure Lily was well cared for. We immediately rebooked with Becca for additional days and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for kind and compassionate care for their pet.”
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.
“Casey was absolutely amazing with Goku! He treated him like her own, gave him so much love and attention, and kept me updated with the sweetest photos. I could tell he felt safe and happy the whole time. Truly five-star care — I’d trust Casey with Goku any day!”
“Steph was outstanding, on time, attentive to our pets needs and kept us in the loop daily. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to other pet owners. Very trustworthy and responsible... thank you Steph for everything!”
About: I’ve always been around various animals (rabbits, horses, turtles, cats, dogs) as my mom was a vet tech and loved to foster. I love (and own) big dogs and operate a pet friendly cleaning service as well. I’m a residential housekeeper so due to my schedule I would ideally be shooting for afternoon walks and/or checks ins- typically between 3pm-5pm. As for walks, my dog is about 70lbs and my boyfriend’s dog is about 40lbs and I usually walk them together so I’m used to dealing with a lot of weight in tense situations. Please share any concerns or preferences beforehand and I’ll be sure to make a note (my dogs are still triggered by cats no matter how hard I try, so no judgement here). For in home visits- I will make sure the animals stay in designated contained areas and follow any dietary restrictions or preferences. Comfortable with giving medicine when needed (outside of injections).
“Kiaya took great care of our cat, Merlin. We have specific instructions about coming and going from our house (to keep him from escaping) and Kiaya was super respectful and attentive to them, and played/snuggled well with him every day, which is huge for us. Felt very comforted & comfortable having her take care of our little guy while we were away!”
“Megan was SO awesome!! I was in a huge bind trying to find someone to help out for a hospital stay, and had no advance notice. I joined Rover in a panic! Megan responded to my Rover request right away, and made time to get the key (in one direction on the island), and then head back to help the stranded pups (in the other direction) all within HOURS!!! She came up with creative ideas on her own (that she ran by me) to help out in this unique situation. She really was a lifesaver, and was an EXCELLENT communicator the entire time. She really went above and beyond, and I am SO grateful! I would definitely recommend her!!”
“Great experience. Jess maintained great communication and was flexible with my needs. she has an easy way about interacting with the dogs, and they responded well to her.”
About: I’ve always had a passion for dogs and recently loss my chocolate lab who lived 14 years. I do still have a 9 year old black lab who needs a playmate during the day. I’ve worked at the Boise zoo for 5 years and have experience in administering medicine. Im currently a full time BSU student and since most of my classes are online, I’m home all day to take care of dogs full time. I have a fenced in yard and I’m walking distance from several dog parks. I have a very friendly black Female lab who would love to have a playmate during the day. I’m a big guy (6’4”)so I can walk 3-4 dogs on a walk. Currently unemployed and looking for jobs in Kihei, Hawaii for now until I find either walk or until I figure out something just let me know and I’ll be there in a jiffy. I talk with the client and make sure to either give them a choice of daily or every other day updates on the dogs progress/mood if anything is out of the norm I will contact them immediately
“Leilani did great with Pebbles and her little kittens. They all grew closer to her each day and looked forward to seeing her in the mornings and nights. Leilani prepared their meals - all separately from kittens to mama Pebbles, washed all their feeding and water bowls when they were done and even cleaned out their litter box each day. She showed up on time and send me photos of Pebbles and the kittens twice a day. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Leilani and look forward to having her watch Pebbles and the kittens again.”
About: I can care for your pups as well as horses and cats. I have a nice fenced in yard and lots of love to give. I currently work part time, and have a pretty flexible schedule. You can drop off your pet or I can pick them up. Thank you I have an older beagle mix and one cat. I have a nice fenced yard and lots of room for pets to run and play.
About: Hi! I’m Rae! Ever since my dad handed me my first Boston Terrier when I was a little girl, my heart has belonged to the animals. I was lucky enough to grow up in a household with pets, and as an adult I couldn’t imagine not having pets. I also recognize that even though we wish we could take our furbabies everywhere, it’s just not a reality for a lot of us. So, I’m happy to be able to ease the worry of wanting or needing to travel, work, etc by offering to take care of your babies while you’re away. I’ve also traveled to help take care of pets while they’re pawrents were away, tending to both their pets and home. Currently I have a lot of open availability. I prefer to be able to come to your house as I have two pups and three kitties in my home, and I know a pet is usually more comfortable in their own environment. The less that has to change for pets, the better so they don’t have to experience the stress of a new place or dog boarding. So I’m happy to provide potty breaks, walkies, play time, and in home sitting if needed. With direction from you, I’m happy to follow guidelines that you have set up for your pets in your home from their daily routine, to walks etc.
About: I have spent over 18 years in the veterinary field & pet sitting throughout. I bring a level of skill & experience for pets the have medical needs or just prefer to stay at home. This is my full time gig at the moment. Looking for pet sitting opportunities. Love that this gives me a flexible schedule needed to be available as a pet sitter. I have two dogs that a vetted properly. They are also walked several times a day & receive constant love & care. We do positive reinforcement & focus on praise. Love giving them the affection & time to build a quality bond.
About: I started off at a large animal vet hospital as a teen and since then I have taken care of coworkers' and friends dogs, even my chiropractor. I'm a school counselor so I'm only available afternoons and weekends. More during the summer months and holidays. Flexible on time and schedule, especially for feedings. I only offer in home care as I am not allowed to have pets at my own place. Preferably, I would like to remain outside of the home when coming to pick up your baby but it is not necessary.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Makawao
Catherine saved us last summer when our dog sitter canceled in the middle of our trip! We had her watch our pups again this summer and she was amazing. She was flexible and reliable. She was very patient and caring with our fearful dogs. I highly recommend if you are looking for someone you can trust to take great care of your pets.
For never meeting Koda prior to these visits, she did amazingly well. She was so calm when she introduced herself. Koda is selective and he took her quickly. It seems she has common sense and intuitiveness with dogs. She followed all the instructions, kept in touch and sent pictures. Koda seemed very relaxed when we came home. We will definitely use Cora again!!

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Makawao choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Makawao with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
