“Our dogs have boarded with Blair several times and they always come home happy and healthy. Both of our dogs are high energy herding dogs and enjoy her large yard to run and play. We love getting updates on how they’re doing and photos or videos. We know Blair gives them the best care while we’re away. Thank you.”
“Alex took great care of my dog. He provides a safe, loving, home-away-from-home environment. I will be totally comfortable leaving my dog with him again, next time I travel.”
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful with Tanga, and I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent me regular photos and videos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I was especially happy to see how well Tanga got along with her dog, Toby, and it was clear that Sarah made him feel comfortable and at home. She was reliable, communicative, kind, and very attentive to him. I’m extremely grateful for the care she gave Tanga and would absolutely trust her with him again. I travel from time to time and will definitely reach out to Sarah again in the future. I feel very lucky to have found someone I can genuinely trust with Tanga. Highly recommended!!!”
“I’ve left my dogs with her multiple times now, for long and short stays. I get tons of updates/pictures throughout the day and the dogs always have a blast, and they get excited when I drop them off there. Definitely recommend!”
“5 Stars! Dianne cared for our dog so well, I don’t think he wanted to come back home! Dianne is a total sweetheart, super easy to communicate with, and kept us updated. Highly recommend and we will definitely solicit her services again. Mahalo, Dianne.”
“I visited Randy at her home beforehand and immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She welcomed us with a very friendly dog, and it was clear right away that she truly loves dogs (and other animals). Her place is wonderful for dogs — spacious, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. Randy is warm, friendly, calm, compassionate, and very accommodating to your needs. I’m sure my dog had a great time with her and made some new dog friends. I would happily leave my dog with her again. I also briefly met her husband, and he seemed very kind and sweet. Thank you, Randy and William, for taking such good care of my dog!”
“Lucky was well taken care of when I left her with Raye for 2 weeks during Christmas. I received multiple pictures and updates on how she was doing. It was a long time to leave my pup but when I picked her up she seemed happy and healthy”
“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.”
“Rebecca was exceptional; a Godsend at the last moment. She and our kitten took to each other immediately and her attention and mature enthusiasm was very reassuring. Rebecca is indeed the best and has our highest recommendation. She’s our go to sitter from now on!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, bunnies of my own and just being with them is my passion! I would love to be able to take care of your pets. I am trying to find a job for some extra cash for college. You can contact me any time and I will most likely be free! I’m very flexible and loving when it comets to animals. As long as you have directions I’m sure I will be able to take care of your animal!
“I recently boarded my dog with Austin and had a WONDERFUL experience. Austin provided a warm and welcoming home environment for my furry friend, making the transition from my home to a boarding situation much easier for both myself and my dog. He was attentive to my dog's needs, offering plenty of love. The updates and pictures I received of my dog made me feel confident that my pet was in good hands. The boarding facilities were top-notch, with a spacious backyard for my dog to play in and a cozy bed for him to rest in. Overall, I would highly recommend Austin for anyone looking for a dog boarding option that feels like a second home for their pet. The level of care and attention Austin provided was exceptional, and I would not hesitate to use their services again in the future.”
“Michael did an exceptional job taking care of Milo and Chloe. I was a little skeptical at first about leaving my two dogs with someone I had never met, but that feeling went away pretty quickly. He sent me pictures and updates throughout their entire stay, which I really appreciated. I got to see them playing, making friends with the other dogs, eating, napping, and just genuinely having a great time. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were happy and being well taken care of. Michael is also a super nice guy, and you can tell he genuinely loves and cares about animals. Milo and Chloe came home happy, and the whole experience was great from start to finish. I’ll definitely be using him again anytime I need someone to watch them. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dogs. Your pets will be in great hands!”
About: I have loved and trained our own Bernese Mountain Dogs (Germany and Belgium) for over 20 years, and fostered dogs (senior dogs, puppies, and Animal Control rescues) the past 3 years, sometimes taking in dogs who had no reason to trust humans, dogs that learned through our care that comforting routines and training through play helps them to trust again, and leads them to becoming more adoptable dog companions. I believe trust has to be earned with our dogs. Only then, will they let us care for them with love through routines they can count on. I look forward to continuing the routines you have already established with your pupper. I raised our dogs believing every day, every moment is an opportunity for training of basic dog citizen behaviors (come, sit, down, leave it, etc.) through active engagement and play, and daily walks and cuddles. Note: We still welcome in Foster dogs, and hope your non aggressive dog(s) will also be good pup ambassadors in interacting with senior dogs or other fosters. I work remotely part-time from home, and I am retired so aside from short trips away from the house for errands, I am here to care for your dog(s). With our own dogs, we held to a consistent schedule: a morning walk (7-ish), then breakfast, rest (to avoid bloat in large dogs), playtime several times per day in our fenced yard, and an afternoon walk, then dinner. We have a fully fenced yard on 1/4 acre. Potty-trained dogs are welcome in the house and on some covered furniture. We have a 30ʻ deck with an outdoor couch and chairs with with rolling gates to the outer yard. We also have a smaller fenced area for dogs who prefer to be outside in cool shaded grassy areas. I specialize in large non-aggressive dogs. Most of these dogs do not like like to sleep in human beds; I welcome pet guests to bring their own large dog beds for their stays.
“Athena was great. I received daily updates (photos and videos) of my dog Max. Max was very happy and relaxed throughout his stay with wagging tail. I highly recommend her and definitely will be booking with her again.”
“Absolutely fantastic caretaker for our two fur babies. Vanessa worked around her schedule to ensure the girls were cared for, had adequate outside time, and were well fed and loved. We will return to here for future sitting needs as she has earned our trust.”
About: I bring years of experience of loving and caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes, both at home and while families are on vacation or on a weekend getaway. I look forward to getting to know you and the needs of your fuzzy companion.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Papaikou on Rover is $35 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 37 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Papaikou. 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 Papaikou 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 Papaikou.
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 Papaikou 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.
