“Sarah takes great care of my dog Mason. She was understanding and accommodating to the changes in pick up time as my flight was delayed over and over again. We are very grateful to her!”
“This was my first time boarding my dog Boogie. What a great experience for him as well as for me! Blair was superb in helping Boogie adjust to being away from home: Within 24 hours, he was already feeling comfortable and enjoying being there. The daily photo updates helped me to adjust to being away, too. :) Blair was also very accommodating in agreeing to an evening pick up after I returned from my trip. I recommend her wholeheartedly for anyone wanting a safe and loving home-away-from-home for their dog. I will definitely board Boogie here again!”
“She was so great with our puppy and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter while we were away😁 I appreciated the daily pictures and updates that Cheryl gave as well! It was such a huge stress relief for us to not have to worry about who might be taking care of him, and Cheryl did an amazing job❤️ I would definitely take my fur baby back to her in the future!!”
“Alex was great! Roxie had a fun time playing with his dog as well as the other dogs staying there. She was so tired when she got home from having so much fun. I don’t even think she missed us that much while we were gone. He has a nice big fenced back yard for the dogs to run around and play. Alex was able to send us pictures / videos to update us on how she was doing which we appreciated. I will definitely be bringing her back the next time we need a dogsitter!”
“Athena took really good care of our corgi Roxy in her home. She would send pics and videos throughout the day to let us know how happy Roxy was doing activities with Athena and her dog. They all got along so very well. Roxy loved her time with Athena. I hope that Athena will be available to watch Roxy again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Dianne was a lifesaver. First time ever doing something like this especially with my son’s dog since I had to be away for a few days. She walked me through the process and put me at ease that Tator would be in good hands. Dianne keeps me updated with pics and reports of how he was doing which kept me reassured.”
“Vanessa, did a fantastic job caring for our pet dog Baby while we were away for 4 days. We will definitely call upon her again. We high recommend Vanessa who are in need of a pet care.”
“We don’t have much experience with dog sitters but Alayna and her partner Ben made us feel very comfortable leaving our boys with them. Great communication always. Notwithstanding the stress the dog, cat and myself endured with this separation, we are all in good shape. Alayna and Ben are animal lovers and you can rest assured your pets will be well cared for.”
“Just a wonderful experience. Kandice is caring and thoughtful with her care of my dog Eevee. I felt that she was loved and in a family environment. Just couldn’t have asked for more. Will use her services again.”

About: 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through every stage of life, from energetic puppies to dignified seniors approaching 18 years old. My family and I have successfully raised and cared for dogs of all sizes (small, medium, and large breeds). I understand that each dog is unique and requires tailored care based on their age, size, temperament, and health needs. I work from home full-time and am available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I like to take the dogs for daily walks along Beach Rd. Schedule is flexible, but prefer cooler times of day morning/afternoon. My home is shared with three well-socialized dogs (two chihuahua mixes and one larger dog), a friendly outdoor cat who roams our property, and backyard chickens. I have a gated property (not fully fenced, so I supervise outdoor time) with space for dogs to explore safely. Dogs who stay with me will have access to indoor comfort, outdoor supervised play, and structured routines that include regular walks, feeding times, and rest periods.
About: I lived on a dairy farm growing up and love all animals. I can service the Hilo and surrounding area, just reach out and let me know how I can help. I currently live in the Kurtistown and Kailua-Kona area and open to help with any kind of pet, not just dogs and cats. I wanted to offer services to all pet lovers, including fish and feathered babies, such as chickens as I know how to help with common issues such as sour crop, egg bounding, etc. I want to offer both, depending on where and the situation. Please let me know what your needs are. I am here to help :)
“Okay I was skeptical at first because he had only one review but how come Austin does not have as many reviews as he deserve? I absolutely am glad that I found him. He was just so great. He would send me pictures as often as he could and I could tell my dog was enjoying her time with him for sure in the pictures. Thank you!!”
About: I am a conscious Christian teacher of 20 years and care for all animals in a special way. Each pet is unique and so should be cared for in an individual way. I Uber around my Rover and private Spanish lessons. I am an early riser and love long walks with my puppy and others who may be with us (-: I keep a clean, minamilist household with space for everyone. I have very few guests and enjoy home life in my Hilo apartment. Please call.for references.
“Aly went above and beyond to make sure my dog was taken care of. My dog has anxiety and Aly kept me in the loop as to how he was doing. She sent photos and was in contact daily with me. I felt assured that Frankie was excellent care. I recommend having her watch your dog!”

Sarah was an excellent host for our two pups. She communicated every day and asked one question about our blind dog’s medications to ensure she had the sequence correct. Their property was perfect for two semi-active dogs. Plenty of socializing and exercise. Sarah is highly recommended and we would definitely ask her to sit again!!
Cicely is amazing! She gives our dog so much love and makes her feel at home. She sends updates with pictures, communicates well and is always so kind. We have booked with her twice and she will always be our first choice when needing a sitter for our little Frenchie, Robin. Mahalo Cicely! 🙏🏼🐾
I had an amazing experience with Vanessa! She watched my two dogs overnight and took such great care of them. She kept me updated with photos, made sure they were comfortable, and treated them like they were her own. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved being with her. I truly appreciate her kindness, communication, and the extra effort she put in. I’ll definitely be booking with her again whenever I need a sitter. Highly recommend!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Pahoa
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Pahoa on Rover is $52.84 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 32 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Pahoa. 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 Pahoa 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 Pahoa.
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 Pahoa 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.
