“Paisley was great! She took Dumpling to the dog park and he looked so calm and comfy at her place. He’s an anxious dog but seemed right at home. She’s quick to respond and very informative! I would highly recommend her!”
“Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Kule was so well taken care of! Jo and Tame treated our baby like their own and absolutely showered her in love. Kule unexpectedly went into heat during her stay and I felt so bad but they took care of her and went out of their way to make her feel comfortable. They always sent pictures and videos of her on her walks and was very communicative during the whole 3.5 weeks. I will totally stay in touch with them and even meet up at the dog park for the pups to play. It’s hard trusting people with our fur babies while we are away but I 100% recommend them to everyone and will use them if ever we are off island again.”
About: I have a husky mix Kea and we are super active! Daily walks and animal care is in my daily routine. I have been doing rover for a long time now. Apart from dogs, I worked/lived at a cat sanctuary in Haiku that had over 200+ cats as well as chickens and cows. My job consisted of feeding, giving medicine/attention, and cleaning after them everyday. I take care of my husky mix Kea everyday! I work from home m-f and have lots of free time. I love to take care of all kinds of animals. I am looking for some extra jobs on the island! I would make sure I am aware of the clients needs and expectations when being in their home. I will be aware of any precautions and contact the owner with any issues. I will take care of the animals with anything that is needed (walking/feeding/put into crate/attention), I am a quick learner and am open to any specific jobs.
“Daria was great and attentive to Mowgli’s specific needs! She took him on several long walks a day, played with him and would keep me updated by sending pictures and videos of him throughout the day. Highly recommend her as a sitter for your pup!”
“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!”
About: Lifelong pet caretaking is rooted in the belief that pets are not just animals; they are family members deserving of love, respect, and dedicated care throughout their lives. This philosophy emphasizes the importance of understanding each pet's unique needs, preferences, and personality. Ive had dogs all my life and firmly believe they need to be cared for as the family members they are. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my work-from-home life by providing companionship and stress relief during breaks. Daily walks and playtime offer essential physical activity, while structured feeding times establish a routine. This balance enhances productivity, creating a nurturing environment that benefits both your work and your pet's well-being. My apartment is a short walk to the beach park and dog park where they're is space to roam and exercise. While in my home they enjoy constant companionship and attention.
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!
“We will definitely book Christina again. She took amazing care of our puppy Miley. She sent us updates and pictures daily while we were off island. She kept up with her training and even gave us training tips to use going forward. She gave us amazing recommendations to help us ease our dogs separation anxiety. She knew exactly what to do when our dog wouldn’t eat her food on our first day away from her. Miley was in the best hands possible and we felt that Christina took care of Miley as if she were her own. If you are looking for someone to take the best care of your pup while you’re away, Christina is hands down the best!”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and if you were to ask people who know me they would tell you how much I love dogs! I have experience dog sitting on the mainland I moved to Maui 3 years ago and I am missing having some furry friends! I currently work 4 days a week in Paia. If your dog is well behaved they may come to work with me! If not Friday-Monday I will be gone for 8hrs. I enjoy going for walks either in the morning or after work!

About: Hi there! We’re a family of animal lovers and would be thrilled to care for your pets. We have one small dog of our own, a 10 year old Shiba Inu, who is very chill and gets along great with other dogs! Both my husband and I have had dogs our entire lives and have plenty of experience caring for them. My husband is known in our family as the “dog whisperer.” We have family on the mainland and travel back a couple of times a year, so we understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets while you’re away. Whether you need daily drop-in visits or boarding while you’re off island, your pets will be treated like part of our family and will be in loving hands. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule. We’re an active family and would love to include your dog in our daily outings when appropriate. We live in Kihei near a dog park and the beach and spend plenty of time outdoors. Because we have two young children and a small dog in our home, boarding is best suited for dogs that are friendly and comfortable around both children and other dogs. We’re also more than happy to provide drop-in visits! However you would like your pet to be cared for; walks, fetch, feedings, scratches, cuddles or simply some company while you’re away, we’re here for it!
About: Hi!🐾 I’m an experienced animal lover with over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than spending time with animals. Over the years, I’ve worked in pet hotels, animal shelters, and with several professional pet sitting companies, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering medications, monitoring health and behavior, providing enrichment, and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. Working in animal shelters taught me how to care for pets with unique personalities and special needs, including those who are shy, anxious, recovering from medical procedures, or require daily medication. I’m comfortable administering medications and always prioritize your pet’s health, routine, and well-being. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away by providing dependable, attentive, and compassionate care. I’ll treat your fur babies with the same love, respect, and attention I’d give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members!🐱🐶 I’m currently building my clientele and focusing solely on pet sitting so I have all the time in the world to love on your fur babies and give you a peace of mind while you’re gone! I will always make sure your pet feels safe and comfy in their own home and make sure to give them all the love they deserve!

“Kevin and Ashley were fantastic sitters for our cockapoo, Gabby! From start to finish, their communication was excellent, keeping us updated with messages and photos. It was clear that Gabby felt right at home with them—she was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We could tell they genuinely love dogs and treated Gabby like one of their own. Highly recommend Kevin and Ashley for anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters!”
About: I’m a country, animal loving young girl. I’ve spent years caring for farms and ranches or just housesitting with many dogs, cats and much more. I just enjoy soaking up extra time with the critters. I’ve spent time training two of my own dogs and also several others. Experience fostering both cats, kittens and puppies is also something I can offer. It’s so rewarding to watch the dogs learn and grow with training and time. I can take your dog on walks and play with them or just chill with your cat. I currently work 3 days a week on a boat and 1 day as a bartender. Feel free to message me for scheduling and availability. If your pet is ok with me being gone on the boat 12 hrs on a couple days I’m happy to housesit for a length of time. My partner can often times let your pet out to potty on my long work days. Usually just Wednesdays are 12 hr shifts. I like to keep the pets routines as close to what they are use to as possible. Playing with, exercising, feeding and even doing some training are all things I like to incorporate in my daily schedule.

Pet 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!

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
