“Thank you Senne! Senne was very kind and also sent photos and updates of our pup so we knew our pup she was well taken care of. I would recommend Senne for dogsitting and consider having our pup stay with her again while we are away. Again, thank you Senne!”
“Best overnight sitter ever! We left our 4 month old puppy with Tracey and her mom for 2 nights. We were updated with pictures daily. And our dog had so much fun at the house. Would schedule again in a heartbeat, and definitely recommend!”
“Kate and her military family were absolutely wonderful with Kaila! They kept us updated with detailed notes and plenty of pictures throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. The location is super convenient—right across from the airport—and the whole family treated Kaila with such kindness and care. They were very communicative and easy to work with, and it was a huge plus that they also have doodles, so Kaila felt right at home. They followed her strict diet perfectly and made sure she was comfortable the entire time. I would highly recommend Kate and her family to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter—and we’ll definitely be asking them to care for Kaila again in the future!”
“Kenn did awesome! As a first-timer leaving my dog with a stranger, I felt completely at ease as soon as I met him. He kept me updated daily on how my pup was doing, which made the whole experience stress-free. Highly recommend!”
“I had an amazing experience with Summer! She is attentive, caring, and treated our pet like family. Communication was excellent and she sent lots of great photos throughout the stay. It was clear my boy was happy and comfortable with her. I felt completely confident leaving our pet in her care and will definitely book again!”
“Alexandra was stellar! She proved she truly cared throughout Mindy’s care with regular updates, pictures, and top notch care. She was thoughtful and thorough with preparation and was always prompt with her communication. We felt our pup was very safe and well taken care of. I would absolutely make this your go-to sitter if you are reading this review!”
“First time taking our baby to her and it was phenomenal. We did a meet and greet before our trip and right from the start we fell in love with her and her ohana. My baby wonder around the house, Jacque showed us around as well. She really made our visit comfortable. During our trip, she updated us on everything our baby did which made it better and worry less for us being it was the first time for us. I can go on and on about Jacque, but I will keep it short and simple. She is incredible, she made our stay away comfortable knowing how she cares for our baby and for her very own babies. I would definitely recommend her to my friend and would ALWAYS have trust in her for caring for our Queen Emma. Definitely using her for all vacations away. Mahalo nui loa Jacque for caring and loving our sweet Queen Emma”

About: I’ve been hired to dog walk, dog sit, dog board, & do basic wash/groom in Honolulu for about 6 years. Let me know how I can help your family! I’m currently at home full-time with my 2 small dogs which means I’m available morning/afternoon/evening for services. For boarding services, I live in a two bedroom apartment with my 2 small dogs and can accommodate up to 2 more small dogs. They will have access to a small fenced yard and regular bathroom breaks/walks. A typical day in my house looks like waking up, going for a morning walk and then eating breakfast. There will be plenty bathroom breaks throughout the afternoon with playtime and relaxation. Our nighttime routine is dinner followed by a walk around the neighborhood. My 2 dogs sleep in their crate when I have to leave the house or when it's time for bed. I respect the rules and requests you have when it comes to the care of your dog. Please let me know of any preferences and I will do my best to accommodate.
“Angela was great! I felt very comfortable leaving Finn with her, not to mention she was SUPER flexible with me changing dates and drop off/pickup times last minute. 100% recommend.”
“I just got my pup back from his weeklong. Stay with Diana and her family. He is so happy to have spent time with her two dogs and children. I will definitely be a return customer. Your animal and Diana‘s care will receive love and cuddles and play. She’s awesome at updating you with how your baby is doing. I had total peace of mind, knowing that my dog was in such good hands.”
“We are so grateful for Daisy! Our pup Lily stayed with her for 2 nights and had the best time. Daisy was incredibly responsive and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. You can really tell she’s calm, caring, and genuinely loves dogs. When we picked Lily up, she was happily tired out from all the playtime and fun she had. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Daisy again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pup like family!”
“This was our second time using Diana, and she exceeded expectations again! Her communication was outstanding! Quick responses and adorable photos of Dwight and Zoe throughout their stay gave us great peace of mind. Diana went above and beyond with their care, staying on top of feeding schedules and making sure Dwight got his medicine. When we picked them up, our babies were clearly happy and well-cared for. We’re so grateful Diana was available last minute! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, loving pet care!”
“We left Lucky with Emma for 2 weeks. Our first to be away from each other for that long. We missed her alot but Emma regularly updated us with videos and photos which we very much appreciated. Usually shy, we saw that she was having a great time and even made a best friend. We came back to a more outgoing and relaxed Lucky! Thanks auntie Emma!”
“Ratchanoo is amazing. She took great care of my pups while I was away. She send me pictures, videos and kept me updated about how my dogs were, which I love. She’s also such a sweet person with a great heart and you can tell she loves dogs. Her dog is also the sweetest little guy. He just hangs out and shares his space amazingly with other dogs. Overall an amazing experience and I feel so grateful that I met her!”
Makiki dog parents share their Rover experiences
Alexandra was so wonderful with our boy. She was attentive, playful, took him on plenty of walks. Our boy is high energy and she was able to tire him out for multiple naps. Very lovely and very accommodating, she was wonderful and is great when looking for someone who cares.
Victoria was absolutely amazing! From the moment we connected, her communication was outstanding, she asked thoughtful questions, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were on our trip to Japan. She was so kind and attentive with Lily, and it was clear how much she truly cared. We came home to an impeccably clean house, which was such a wonderful bonus. We couldn’t have asked for a better Rover sitter and feel so grateful to have found her. Highly, highly recommend, thank you so much, Victoria!
Abigail is wonderful. My long-time sitter moved and so I was looking for another long-term relationship because I travel a lot for work. And I believe I've found it. Abigail is a pleasure to work with. She (and her young children) clearly love animals and they gave Barca genuine love and attention--even gifted her a new bed and leash for Christmas--and she came home happy and content. Abigail's kind, easygoing nature made the 3 weeks I was away worry-free and effortless. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our beloved Barca!
Daisy is an amazing sitter I highly recommend. She sent updated photos of my pet and made sure she felt safe and comfortable. This was my dogs first time sleeping somewhere without me and she did so well because she trusted daisy! She had the best puppy sleepover!
Karen was absolutely wonderful, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she completely put me at ease, which means everything when you’re leaving your fur baby in someone else’s care. She was incredibly attentive and so loving toward Lulu, treating her like she was her own. Karen also sent lots of pictures and updates, which I truly appreciated and loved seeing, it made being away so much easier. It was clear Lulu was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We’re so grateful to have found Karen and will absolutely be using her again.
So thankful to have Lovina and Lucky to take care of my fur babies! It’s great to see that they had a good time and are still in good spirits when we pick them up. My babies seem to really like being with Lucky and Lucky watches over them especially my older baby who is kind of fragile. Lovina takes great care and sends me much needed photos to help with me missing them. Thank you so much!
They did a great job with Peril! I felt super comfortable leaving him with them. I didn’t do the math right and he ran out of food a few days before my trip ended. They were able to go pick up my order from the store so he could have food. 10/10 would use again!
I am super impressed by the excellent care and communication from Ellie and Aaron. We had last minute travel plans and they were extremely accommodating and flexible. Both my elderly dogs (16 years old) have been through many boarding experiences but this was one of the best by far! They came back happy and relaxed. Thank you for going above and beyond. Shredder and Binky will definitely be back.
I have nothing but good things to say about Stacey! She went above and beyond with my little Sunny! Sunny is anxious around others so it can be a bit challenging, but Stacey was able to get Sunny to settle in and join her family for the time I was away. I truly appreciate all the updates and cute photos I was sent of Sunny. I didn’t have to worry about whether my little one was being taken care of because Stacey was on top of the updates and was very open about asking additional things to make Sunny’s stay with her better. I would highly recommend Stacey for any little princesses out there and I will definitely be returning to her in the future for Sunny’s care!
