“Greg was great. I was very anxious to be off island for a couple weeks since we hadn't needed a dog sitter since moving to Oahu over a year before. He sent pictures nearly every day and checked in with us. Communicated very well. His home is a dog retreat and we think Giz may have had an even better vacation than we did!”
“This was our first time sending our dog off to a sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything worked out. Kyrie and her family did a wonderful job watching Tuxedo, our boston terrier. We were gone for a whole week. She sent daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their pet!”
“This being our first time leaving our 2 young dogs at a first time sitter we were nervous, but after being invited to tour Tracey's home and talking with her family we felt her home was full of love for all pets that came over toys, bedding nice outdoor run area and very clean. Every day of our trip away we were sent pics of our boys interacting and looking very happy at camp, we will definitely use Tracey's home for future boarding.”
“First time using Rover and so glad we found Joel! He took great care of our dog Naia, even while she had an unexpected injury. It meant a lot to know that she was in good hands while we were gone, and seems like she had a great time. Mahalo Joel!”
“Emma seem to genuinely care about the well being of the pets that she care for. She noticed right away our Lucky's anxiety of us not being around. Lucky is very shy around people and other dogs, and Emma took great care and patience in handling her character. I think she has the ability to take Lucky out of her shell. We'll be bringing her back to Emma for overnights again.”
“Jacque was a lifesaver—available on very short notice and incredibly flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. She kept me updated the whole time with prompt, sweet photos and videos, which put my mind completely at ease. Caring, reliable, and professional — I’ll definitely book her again.”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! In fact, she's such a great sitter that I almost hesitate to write this review because selfishly, I'd love to keep her availability to myself! This was our very first time leaving our puppy with a sitter, and naturally we were a little nervous. Samantha immediately put our minds at ease. Before our trip, she took the time to meet with us and show us where our puppy would be staying in her home, which made us feel so much more comfortable and confident. While we were away for nearly two weeks, Samantha kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos. It meant so much to know our puppy was happy, safe, and well cared for while we were gone. What impressed us even more was that she actually helped reinforce our puppy's potty training during our time away. We came home to a puppy who had continued making progress, which was such a pleasant surprise! Samantha is truly a sweetheart, and it's obvious that she has a genuine love for animals and a heart for what she does. The care, attention, and affection she showed our puppy exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful we came across Samantha and couldn't recommend her more highly. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Pei, what a professional. Our dog was in his care and we were so happy that we could go on a trip without having to worry about our dog that we love so very much. Pei communicated with us, and showed us how much knowledge he had with not only caring for our dog but what he offered as a dog trainer and dog whisperer. He met with us and our dog to ensure that we were all a fit to proceed with this interaction. I will forever take my dog to Pei anytime my family and I are out of town. He also let us know that we can utilize his skills to train our dog to be more balanced and this is exactly what we plan to do. Thank you Pei!!!”
“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 had an absolutely amazing experience with Casey. She took wonderful care of our German Shepherds and handled everything with confidence and ease. From daily routines to overall care, everything was managed seamlessly and without a single issue. For the first time, we were able to go on vacation and truly relax, knowing our dogs were in great hands. That peace of mind is priceless, especially with large breeds like German Shepherds. We came home to happy, well cared for dogs and a calm, orderly home. We are incredibly grateful and would be more than happy to have her care for our dogs again. Highly recommended!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with my two furbabies! One who never slept out and the other who didn’t get along with other dogs, she understood them and their needs! And to top that off, she took this job with only a day’s notice! I recommend and have her saved for future trips 🫶🏼”
“"Johenid was amazing! Leaving my cat in a new place is always stressful, but her home was a total cat paradise—safe, quiet, and very welcoming. She gave my cat time to adjust and sent photos of him everyday. I could tell he felt right at home. Drop-off and pick-up were incredibly smooth. I will absolutely board him here again!"”
“First time using Rover. Needed a sitter for 10 days for our large dog. Shauna help eased that stress. She was very accomadating, upfront, provided updates, adressed any concerns and most of all, very caring. Her house and environment was perfect for my dogs needs. Highly recommend!”
“Natalia is amazing! Our dogs had a seamless transition to her home, which she made so accommodating to the dogs she hosted. Natalia provided daily photos and updates of their adventures, which were all above and beyond! She was flexible when we thought our plans would be impacted by the Kona Low, every bit of communication was timely and thoughtful.”
“Brody had a fantastic stay. He is one tired pup now and that can only be down to the incredible attention and playtime he got whilst with Jay and the family. They provided photos and videos frequently. Kept us up to date on anything important and gave Brody so much love and attention. I think he’s going to be missing his buddies for a while! Thank you for taking such good care of him 🐾”
“Here’s a warm and appreciative Rover review you can post for Daylin: Daylin did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away! She made sure to walk and feed her on schedule and kept me updated every day with pictures. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was well taken care of and getting the attention she needed. I really appreciate how responsible, caring, and attentive Daylin was. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet!”
“As usual, McKenley was reliable, attentive, and caring throughout the entire stay. Communication was excellent, and our dog received outstanding care. We appreciated the regular updates and peace of mind while we were away!”
“Again, took great care of my fur baby. I appreciated all the updates and their fur babies get along so well with mine. He is always happy to see them and sleep over. Would easily recommend.”
“Christine provided an amazing blend of professionalism and genuine thoughtful care for my beloved fur baby. She was knowledgable and forthcoming about her own pets' personalities and ability to incorporate Kala into their home. Her daily pics, videos, and commentary let me know how Kala was truly doing and what they were doing for her to have the best experience away from us. It wasn't just "fluff" it was genuine care and concern for Kala's wellbeing and our piece of mind. I without hesitation would provide the highest of recommendation for her providing the best of care.”

“Mary-Ann was great. Attentive to each cats personality. Knew when to play and knew when they just needed love (lots of pets). She helped put our mind at ease while traveling.”
About: I’ve always had a special affinity towards cats, I have experience with all kinds, from energetic and playful, to old and sleepy, and even the tricky ones that don’t trust easily. I respect cats and truly think it’s important to listen to their body language to cater to how they feel.
About: Hi there, I’m Tiffany, I am 24 and I just moved to Island with my husband in March, my schedule is super flexible so, it’ll be good to get to know the areas a bit more! I have always loved caring for animals or being around them. So, I would love to hang out with your babies! They bring so much joy to the space, and each of them have so much personality! I grew up with 3 cats and a dog. I am great with any size and age animal, as well as dogs + cats! I have a pretty flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my week! I’m able to make time for morning and evening visits, walks, and occasional weekend care. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and give them lots of attention, love, and care while you’re away!! I currently do not have an animal, but I do help out with my friends pups sometimes when it’s needed! I take them on walks or just make sure their bowls are full!
“Absolutely fantastic dog sitter. Latai is so attentive and took such great care of my two dogs. My work schedule is always changing and she was so flexible and patient with me. I highly recommend her!!”
About: A few of my friends got cats during covid and I started watching them when the world opened up and My friend's started traveling again. I can feed cats, clean litter boxes, and give them some play time. One set of kittens I took hiking in their outdoor backpack!
“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing with my cat! She definitely made my trip away feel stress free knowing that she was giving Beef (my cat) all the attention and love he needed while I was gone. Highly recommend her!”
About: i’ve been around pets big and small, from kittens to huskies, I love animals. I am a long term care giver for a Australian shepherd. i work part time, so on the days i’m not working i would love to get out and take a dog for a walk or two. I care for pets in a loving way, discipline can be very important, but i like to reward for good behavior and ignore bad, but of course use appropriate discipline when needed.
About: Hi, I’m Maddy! I’ve been living in Hawaii for about a year now and currently work in a veterinary clinic!! I have several years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. My background includes working as a kennel technician and receptionist at a busy doggy daycare, boarding, training, and grooming facility. This has given me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safety, and individualized care of dogs and cats! At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home, but I’m more than happy to provide care in your home depending on location. I strive to keep your pets’ routine as normal and stress free as possible while you’re away, and I’ll always go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Before and after work, I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins, and I make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. If close by, I am able to use my lunch break to come by for mid-day care and potty breaks. On my days off, I have much more flexibility and can accommodate longer visits or extended care. I always prioritize making time for each pet to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I am unfortunately not offering boarding services in my own home, as I have another dog. Depending on distance, I am more than happy to stay in your home! Keeping your fur babies safe and happy is my number one priority, I am willing to go above and beyond to care for your baby.
About: I have had dogs my entire life, but what truly sets me apart is my professional, hands-on experience working with them every day. I spent over three years at a dog daycare, where I grew from a daycare attendant to a dog trainer, and eventually became the daycare manager. This experience gave me the opportunity to work with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities in a structured and supervised environment. In addition to my daycare and training background, I have been a responsible dog breeder since 2022, raising four successful litters of Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers. This has given me an even deeper understanding of canine behavior, development, and attentive, hands-on care from early life stages through adulthood. I have a strong understanding of dog body language and behavior, which allows me to safely handle everything from high-energy dogs to more nervous or reactive ones. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and positive experience for every dog in my care. Dogs are not just a job to me, they are a huge part of who I am. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a Labrador Retriever, and they continue to deepen my love and understanding of what dogs need to feel secure, happy, and well cared for. When caring for your pet, I treat them as if they were my own. You can expect consistent communication, reliability, and attentive care throughout your time away. If you have any questions about my experience or would like to see if I’m a good fit for your pet, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love to connect with you. Pet care is a consistent and important part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule around providing dependable, attentive care, including regular feeding times, exercise, and enrichment tailored to each dog’s needs. While I do have dogs of my own, they are on a stable routine and well cared for, which allows me to plan my time responsibly and show up fully for the pets in my care. Because of this, I am mindful about how long I am away from home at a time, but I ensure that every visit and stay is intentional, reliable, and focused on your pet’s comfort and well-being. Whether your dog needs structured walks, playtime, or a calm and consistent presence, I am able to incorporate their routine seamlessly into my day. At this time, I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so that your pet can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take pride in following each dog’s specific needs, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, or simply providing a calm and attentive presence. I am very mindful of safety, structure, and reading dog body language to ensure your pet feels secure and well cared for at all times. If your dog enjoys walks, I am happy to take them around your neighborhood or to appropriate outdoor areas, depending on your preferences. I tailor each visit to match your dog’s energy level and routine. I offer a range of services including drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting depending on availability. My goal is to provide reliable, thoughtful care while keeping your pet happy, safe, and comfortable in your absence. If you have any questions, special requests, or concerns, I am always happy to communicate and make sure I am the right fit for you and your pet.
About: I’ve cared for friends and family dogs since 2020, offering boarding, sitting, and even basic training to keep pups happy and learning. I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Pup care fits easily into my daily routine since I currently have plenty of free time and love spending it with animals. I’m living on base and unemployed right now, so my schedule is very flexible — which means I can give pets my full attention for walks, playtime, and keeping them comfortable throughout the day. Your pet safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every walk is safe, fun and suited to their energy level. If your pup prefers staying cozy at home, I’m just as happy to play with them in their own comfort zone.
“Much appreciated. She took the time to walk my doggies and give them the attention they needed. She is reliable and I was able to book with her on a short notice. Would book again.”
About: I’ve had kittens and cats since I was little. I have also fostered over 20 cats and kittens from the humane society including giving medication, bottle feeding, litter training. My current cat Boo is 4 years old and I adopted her when she was 10 weeks old as foster fail. I’ve taken care of up to 8 cats/kittens at one time.
About: I have been blessed to have grown up with dogs in my household so being with them is like being with family. For 17years I got to learn common behaviors, body language, and how to do basic training with them. I get along well with all animals, but I love being with dogs the most. I am very reliable and believe communication is key, it's very important in providing the best care as possible. I am available most days but I just need a heads up so I can plan and prepare for your pet. I can give full care to your pets such as feeding, walking, bathing and even some much needed belly scratches. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pet! Mahalo for your consideration. I am a home caregiver and have short hours throughout the week usually 8am-12pm and off for the rest of the day. Weekends are completely open and I can be with your pet. I do not have a yard, but we often get out of the house and go to the park or to a nearby beach to let out some energy. I work 8-12pm and off for the rest of the day. So fitting in a drop in or a walk is perfect! So getting in your pets daily walk while you’re away at work fits perfectly with my schedule. I have pet seat belts when going for car rides to the beach or to a hike to keep them safe while transporting. Keeping all gates and doors closed while in the home will avoid any quick get aways.

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: My dogs have always been my best friends. I have had experience with small, medium, and large dogs. I am careful to listen to and respect the routine and rules that you have for your fur baby, no matter how big or small. I’m a big fan of taking them for walks on the beach and shady hikes! I also love a good excuse to drive around looking for a good place for my pup to stretch her legs, or be a good cuddle buddy. I am currently a small business owner in private practice as a healthcare provider. Dog sitting was something I loved doing for many years, but paused to do to care for my senior dog for the last 3 years. After recently losing her, and not being ready for a new love of my own, I’d be honored for the opportunity to care for your pet. I live in Kaaawa but am able to travel anywhere on island to care for your pet(s). Thank you for reading my profile, & I hope to hear from you soon! I work from home doing telehealth, largely from 11-4 M/W/F so I have lots of time and breaks to spend with your pet. I spend most days at home, able to provide exercise and maintain routine feeding throughout the day. I am used to administering meds on a schedule and provide frequent updates to owners (if they’d like!). I am careful to follow the house rules and your pet’s routine. I know it takes a lot of trust for someone to care for your fur baby, and I am a trusted member of the community. I am transparent about my stay in your home and understand it is a privilege to be there and be trusted to care for your animal. I provide lots of play time and cuddles! I always leave homes cleaner than they are left. My reviews are older because of the break I took from Rover to care for my senior pup, but I still value the same service.
“Greg is amazing! I couldn’t asked for a better place to leave my dog while I’m away! Greg is very professional and knows what he is doing (better than I do)! His place is very accommodating. His dog, Zephyr, is the sweetest and becomes best friend with my dog. It makes me very happy to know that my dog is in a good care and have best friend to play with. Bonus points, Greg sent cute photos of my dog during his stay! I already re-booked Greg for my long trip and will definitely book him again if I’m away.”
About: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals, including more than 5 years as a kennel assistant and 5 years as a veterinary assistant. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve developed strong skills in administering medications, including insulin and asthma treatments. My time in a veterinary hospital has also given me valuable experience working with animals of all temperaments, allowing me to stay calm, patient, and attentive in any situation. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your pet gets my complete time, attention, and care. I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved, and that their time with me is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I have 5 years of veterinary medical experience and feel confident providing a wide range of care for pets of all needs—from those requiring more involved medical support to those who simply need extra love and cuddles. I take cleanliness and safety seriously, thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing between each client to ensure a healthy, comfortable environment for your furry friend.
“Rose took wonderful care of Mana. She was kind, caring, Mana was happy and well looked after, and I could tell she was in great hands. I’m so glad I chose Rose as our sitter. Thank you so much for your excellent care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for more than 20 years and have always been the person friends and family trust with their pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine and needs. I have a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own! My husband works from home and I work a few hours every day on campus, so someone is always here to keep an eye on the pups. We currently have a 7-year-old dog who is very gentle and loves canine company. We do multiple daily walks, scheduled feedings, and lots of snuggles! In my home, our lives revolve around our dog! It’s important to us to take walks out of the house, scheduled feedings, and playtime. We don’t have kids around, so we appreciate the energy and companionship of our dogs.
“I rescued Millie a couple of weeks ago and since then (and probably before then as well), she has shown aggression towards people strangers. Tracey and her mom welcomed Millie with open arms and spent the day making sure Millie was comfortable at daycare. I appreciate their flexibility and care and highly recommend them for daycare!”
“Shauna greeted us friendly and was able to see in early morning. Our family went to Kualoa Ranch which has no pet policy so we had Shauna for few hours. After pet sitting, my dog vomited few times since he ate sitter's dog food and I haven't been informed that.”
About: Aloha! I have grew up with many pets. Rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, quail, chameleons, birds, fish, axolotl and my favorite dogs. I believe in routine and positive training. I am available most of the day to help give your pet enrichment,check ins, attention, feeding, snacks, grooming or time to relieve them self and get fresh air I offer home check ins, at home or yard play and enrichment. I offer grooming at your home or after walks at a park. I have a Golden doodle with a long coat and very familiar with daily grooming. I am open to help with other grooming needs as long as pet allows.
“Michela did an amazing job taking care of our dogs, Donut and Bobo! She was incredibly patient and enthusiastic, making sure they got plenty of playtime and walks. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent the cutest pictures of them having fun, which gave us great peace of mind. Michela is truly one of the best sitters we’ve met on Rover — we highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!”
“Lauren and her family took great care of our Penny! Lauren was really good at providing us with updates, photos and videos. Penny actually passed out on the way home and slept for much longer than she usually does so I know that she must have stayed busy.”
About: A retired marine biologist. I have had dogs my entire life. Raised puppies and watched them grow old. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels. Retired. I’m available most days if you need your pets to be simply fed, let out to pee, or to be entertained. While I take same day requests, there are no guarantees because I have several regularly scheduled walks and drop ins. Please reply promptly, I archive when no response in 24 hours. I have a fenced yard and a young corgi who has full run of the house. He can be shy to other dogs. If your dog has any aggressive tendencies or Keahi does not get along with them for whatever reason, we cannot board your dog. Meet and greets are mandatory before any boarding or daycare. Dogs must be house trained for boarding or daycare (paper trained is not house trained). I cannot and will not leave food out. If your dog has issues eating when they are fed (I feed them when I feed my dog), I have to take your dog’s food away and store it. This is a house, not a kennel where your dog has an assigned lot. If your dog has these feeding issues, consider another sitter. Same goes for finicky or difficult medical application. I have no kids on property.
“Rebekah is amazing! She’s so considerate and puts so much care into watching my little dog Edgar :) After every daycare day, you can tell he’s had lots of fun and is so content. Her little dog Nova is also an angel, very polite and playful! Could not recommend Rebekah enough!”
“Keyshla has gone above and beyond for our fur babies! We are very thankful for the care she provides and we know our dogs are always safe when we drop them off to her. Thank you so much Keyshla!”
“I never used Rover before and I am a helicopter dog mom but Haily made me feel comfortable. I love the video and pictures that i get throughout the day she’s with him. Milo (my puppy) absolutely loves going to doggy daycare with her.”
About: My husband and I have always cared for and owned dogs, but we currently don’t have one and are missing our fur friends! I recently moved from England to Hawaii to join my husband here for work, and before welcoming a dog of our own, we’d love to spend time caring for yours! I will be the primary caregiver, as I work fully from home. Back in England, I looked after my mom’s dog almost every day for the past six years whenever I wasn’t working at the hospital, as I worked from home a lot too. I also regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs for overnight stays, weekends and holidays. In fact, I became the go-to dog sitter in our little English village! As a healthcare professional, I understand the importance of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and I bring that same level of patience, compassion, and commitment to every dog I care for. We know that every dog has their own unique personality and routine, and we’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and so very loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, we’ll care for them as if they were our own! I (Carmen) will be the primary caregiver, with Cam (husband) home in the evenings for cuddles and post-dinner beach walks with us. I currently work from home, part-time as a UK-registered Dietitian. I’d love a fur colleague to keep me company! I walk, run or swim at the beach every morning or lunchtime and evenings too, and Kalama Beach is only a 10 minute walk from our house. My husband who is as pup-obsessed as me works with the military (he’s a ex-marine officer) so he’s not around as much but he would absolutely love doggy kisses to welcome him home after work. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a large shared yard that is fully enclosed, with two access points that we securely block off whenever a dog is outside, so they can enjoy the space safely under our supervision. We share the yard with three lovely neighboring couples who are also dog lovers, creating a friendly and welcoming environment. Our home is a spacious two-story, three-bedroom house with plenty of room for your pup to relax. After beach adventures or muddy walks, we even have two bathtub showers ready for rinsing off sandy paws and giving your dog a little spa treatment! We’ll follow your dog’s usual routine, provide lots of love and attention, and ensure they’re always supervised and cared for as if they were our own.
About: I’ve grown up with animals (dogs, cats, birds, Guinea pigs) my whole life. I also managed a dog daycare & boarding shop for 7 years and am a certified vet assistant. I’m an aspiring kickboxer and run around throughout the day, however my family helps with dogs that are boarding overnight. Dogs have access to the yard 24/7 to use the bathroom/run around 😊 I have done dog boarding for 10 years at my own home. We have 4 large dogs but they are very used to having friends over. We have a double fenced yard and additional gates for extra safety (for escape artists)
“10 out of 10 highly recommend! We love Nicole! She's a great communicator and kept me updated. My dog thinks he is a is a human baby and Nicole did such a great job taking care of him and nurturing all his neediness. He got to spend lots of time outside and play with other dogs in a safe loving environment, and we love it!”

About: Proud stay-at-home dog dad. Experience with large and small and in between. Always happy to have new dog friends come and stay. Fun is important to us, but safety comes first. Always looking for study breaks to walk some beautiful pups! Studying full time for now, at home. Partner works full time. Primary caretaker for our two dogs - food, meds, walks. I am home all day, with transportation. For boarding, I will be in the house almost constantly. For my own dogs, I manage their medication and feeding. We walk several times a day and get out to the dog park or the beach every day.
“I have waited to review MaryAnn until after 2 weeks of walking my lab Megan. She has been a godsend and treats Megan wonderfully. My wife and I can't keep up with the attention Megan needs as we got older than we expected due to circumstances. MaryAnn has been walking Megan regularly 4 times per week as we wanted, Megan has a big yard so she can get out as needed, but walks provide socialization that the dog needs. We are thrilled with MaryAnn and how great she is to our dog. Anyone wanting a really good dog walker would be lucky to have MaryAnn.”
“Sova had a great time with Camilla and Ash. She was awesome, right on time, communicative, and instantly great with Sova. She even took her swimming, which Sova loved. I really appreciated how she listened carefully about Sova’s resource guarding and handled it with knowledge and confidence. It’s clear she truly understands dogs and cares about what she’s doing. Would absolutely book with her again.”
About: I have taken care of pets for over 10 years now, both my own and for family or friends! I love hanging out with them, going on walks or runs, to the beach, playing fetch, cuddling in the yard, and giving them the love they deserve. I will treat your pet like it is my own! You will always come home to them happy and loved! I’m currently free all week mornings and afternoons. We can enjoy walks around the neighborhood, runs or swims at the beach, or fetch at home or the park. I always make sure to scan the surrounding environment to ensure the utmost safety and care. I make sure to avoid any uncomfortable situations for you or your pup or any mishaps with other dogs. I am trained to de-escalate high stress situations in a calm manner.
“Alexis was so good with my big boy! He took to her immediately. ? She provided great updates on how he was doing and took great care of him. Highly recommend her to look after your fur babies! I will definitely be using her services again.”
About: Aloha 🌈 I have been a pet owner for the last 11 years (dogs, cats, goats and ducks) and walked professionally on another app for 3 years in Los Angeles. I’m trustworthy and patient with reactive pets and am open to whatever your friend may need! I can take short walks, long walks, hikes, beach swims and really any activity your pet likes. I just love to be outside with animals. I can also visit at home and give lots of belly rubs and home care if that’s what’s needed. I have had elderly dogs as well and am happy and comfortable to provide special care for them. Great with huskies and couch potatoes alike. I am currently working an on-call position and always have Mondays and Tuesday off with fluctuating schedules week to week. I am available before 1pm every day though. I do travel occasionally. I will keep to your home rules and needs based on how you care for your pets. If they have a crate or area, they will be secured on your request with whatever food/water/ snacks are needed. I always prefer owners to provide snacks as many animals have allergies. I am happy to fulfill any special requests like feeding or medications.
About: *Location: Hau'ula, HI* Registered Nurse for 10 years. Competitive athlete for 20 years. Throughout my childhood I grew up with Dobermans, Bichon Frise and Standard Poodles. I have unconditional love for all dogs and all their personality. Some breeds I've watched over the last 6 months include Rhodesian Ridgeback, Pitbull mix, French Bull dogs and Standard Poodle. I've trained dogs to swim and even surf. I am comfortable with post operative care and administration of medication. Pet sitting experience also includes rabbits, cats, exotic birds and small reptiles. Happy to spend time with your pet at any time of the day. Starting next month my goal is to transition to provide full time pet exercise service to the community. I enjoy going to the beach and being outdoors which is something I have found most dogs to enjoy as well. I can do as little or as much exercising as you request and the pup can handle. If they just want to cuddle and cruise I'm well versed in that program as well.
About: I've been around dogs many years. Resume includes work at dog boarding learn to feed, clean, and handle pets. Hobbies include play with dogs, exercise, healthy habits, travel, shopping, and eating out. I am available to house sit and to provide day services. Seeking income and I currently stay at home. I am willing to have clients. Dogs are on property in a fenced yard with a few areas. We have morning and evening walks and play and training time throughout the day.
About: Special experience in puppy training. Over 8 years of dog sitting experience. Grew up with 4 big dogs in the house. Personally have an almost 3 year old Aussie who is very high energy and loves long walks and outdoor adventures! Work in remote marketing from home full time, just looking for some extra part time work. Available days and nights for short visits or longer activities/ overnight care I take pride in my attention to detail when it comes to the safety and wellness of furry friends as well as the spaces they spend their time in.
About: I got my first dog when I was 4 and started dog sitting for neighbors when I was 8. I worked with a group when I lived in Kansas City that did short term in-home dog fostering for 1 day to two weeks. My puppy experience comes from a few of my friends having puppies, but adult dogs are my favorite. I work full time from home, and can schedule walks in between meetings during the day. If the dog(s) are up for it I would love to take them hiking, SUPing, kayaking, to the beach, and to hang out with my friend's dogs. I prefer to keep the dog on a similar schedule to what they are used to and not overwhelm them with new experiences while their owners are gone. Please provide me with the needed information of your dog's routine.
About: I have had dogs my entire life, but what truly sets me apart is my professional, hands-on experience working with them every day. I spent over three years at a dog daycare, where I grew from a daycare attendant to a dog trainer, and eventually became the daycare manager. This experience gave me the opportunity to work with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities in a structured and supervised environment. In addition to my daycare and training background, I have been a responsible dog breeder since 2022, raising four successful litters of Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers. This has given me an even deeper understanding of canine behavior, development, and attentive, hands-on care from early life stages through adulthood. I have a strong understanding of dog body language and behavior, which allows me to safely handle everything from high-energy dogs to more nervous or reactive ones. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and positive experience for every dog in my care. Dogs are not just a job to me, they are a huge part of who I am. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a Labrador Retriever, and they continue to deepen my love and understanding of what dogs need to feel secure, happy, and well cared for. When caring for your pet, I treat them as if they were my own. You can expect consistent communication, reliability, and attentive care throughout your time away. If you have any questions about my experience or would like to see if I’m a good fit for your pet, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love to connect with you. Pet care is a consistent and important part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule around providing dependable, attentive care, including regular feeding times, exercise, and enrichment tailored to each dog’s needs. While I do have dogs of my own, they are on a stable routine and well cared for, which allows me to plan my time responsibly and show up fully for the pets in my care. Because of this, I am mindful about how long I am away from home at a time, but I ensure that every visit and stay is intentional, reliable, and focused on your pet’s comfort and well-being. Whether your dog needs structured walks, playtime, or a calm and consistent presence, I am able to incorporate their routine seamlessly into my day. At this time, I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so that your pet can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take pride in following each dog’s specific needs, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, or simply providing a calm and attentive presence. I am very mindful of safety, structure, and reading dog body language to ensure your pet feels secure and well cared for at all times. If your dog enjoys walks, I am happy to take them around your neighborhood or to appropriate outdoor areas, depending on your preferences. I tailor each visit to match your dog’s energy level and routine. I offer a range of services including drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting depending on availability. My goal is to provide reliable, thoughtful care while keeping your pet happy, safe, and comfortable in your absence. If you have any questions, special requests, or concerns, I am always happy to communicate and make sure I am the right fit for you and your pet.
About: I’ve cared for friends and family dogs since 2020, offering boarding, sitting, and even basic training to keep pups happy and learning. I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Pup care fits easily into my daily routine since I currently have plenty of free time and love spending it with animals. I’m living on base and unemployed right now, so my schedule is very flexible — which means I can give pets my full attention for walks, playtime, and keeping them comfortable throughout the day. Your pet safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every walk is safe, fun and suited to their energy level. If your pup prefers staying cozy at home, I’m just as happy to play with them in their own comfort zone.
About: I grew up in a household that loves animals. I’ve always had dogs around whether it was my own or I was taking care of others dogs. I also worked as a bather for over a year so I have experience with all kinds of dogs, big and small, old and young. I am working a part-time job right now and would love to be able to spend time taking care of dogs on my days off. Since I moved away from home I’ve missed having dogs around I have experience in walking both big dogs and small dogs so I know how to handle either and I know how to walk multiple dogs at once if needed
About: Hi Everyone! My name is Drew, I moved back to Florida this month from Hawaii. I love walking and taking care of dogs. I’m comfortable with all different breeds and sizes of dogs! Growing up, my family would always rescue dogs. I’d love to help out with your dog(s) in anyway I can, whether that’s dog sitting, walking, or stopping by to let him/her out! I work mornings so I can feed/let out dog before I leave and when I get back. My schedule is very flexible and I can be more available.
“Our 2 dogs had so much fun with Casey and her adorable dogs. They were worn out every evening (not a small feat). One of the days she wasn’t able to take them out due to weather, but she took them for double time the next day and issued me a refund for the missed day. I would definitely book with Casey again! Thank you!!”

“Greg was great. I was very anxious to be off island for a couple weeks since we hadn't needed a dog sitter since moving to Oahu over a year before. He sent pictures nearly every day and checked in with us. Communicated very well. His home is a dog retreat and we think Giz may have had an even better vacation than we did!”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! In fact, she's such a great sitter that I almost hesitate to write this review because selfishly, I'd love to keep her availability to myself! This was our very first time leaving our puppy with a sitter, and naturally we were a little nervous. Samantha immediately put our minds at ease. Before our trip, she took the time to meet with us and show us where our puppy would be staying in her home, which made us feel so much more comfortable and confident. While we were away for nearly two weeks, Samantha kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos. It meant so much to know our puppy was happy, safe, and well cared for while we were gone. What impressed us even more was that she actually helped reinforce our puppy's potty training during our time away. We came home to a puppy who had continued making progress, which was such a pleasant surprise! Samantha is truly a sweetheart, and it's obvious that she has a genuine love for animals and a heart for what she does. The care, attention, and affection she showed our puppy exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful we came across Samantha and couldn't recommend her more highly. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Pei, what a professional. Our dog was in his care and we were so happy that we could go on a trip without having to worry about our dog that we love so very much. Pei communicated with us, and showed us how much knowledge he had with not only caring for our dog but what he offered as a dog trainer and dog whisperer. He met with us and our dog to ensure that we were all a fit to proceed with this interaction. I will forever take my dog to Pei anytime my family and I are out of town. He also let us know that we can utilize his skills to train our dog to be more balanced and this is exactly what we plan to do. Thank you Pei!!!”
“We had an absolutely amazing experience with Casey. She took wonderful care of our German Shepherds and handled everything with confidence and ease. From daily routines to overall care, everything was managed seamlessly and without a single issue. For the first time, we were able to go on vacation and truly relax, knowing our dogs were in great hands. That peace of mind is priceless, especially with large breeds like German Shepherds. We came home to happy, well cared for dogs and a calm, orderly home. We are incredibly grateful and would be more than happy to have her care for our dogs again. Highly recommended!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with my two furbabies! One who never slept out and the other who didn’t get along with other dogs, she understood them and their needs! And to top that off, she took this job with only a day’s notice! I recommend and have her saved for future trips 🫶🏼”
“Natalia is amazing! Our dogs had a seamless transition to her home, which she made so accommodating to the dogs she hosted. Natalia provided daily photos and updates of their adventures, which were all above and beyond! She was flexible when we thought our plans would be impacted by the Kona Low, every bit of communication was timely and thoughtful.”
“Brody had a fantastic stay. He is one tired pup now and that can only be down to the incredible attention and playtime he got whilst with Jay and the family. They provided photos and videos frequently. Kept us up to date on anything important and gave Brody so much love and attention. I think he’s going to be missing his buddies for a while! Thank you for taking such good care of him 🐾”
“Here’s a warm and appreciative Rover review you can post for Daylin: Daylin did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away! She made sure to walk and feed her on schedule and kept me updated every day with pictures. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was well taken care of and getting the attention she needed. I really appreciate how responsible, caring, and attentive Daylin was. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet!”
“Christine provided an amazing blend of professionalism and genuine thoughtful care for my beloved fur baby. She was knowledgable and forthcoming about her own pets' personalities and ability to incorporate Kala into their home. Her daily pics, videos, and commentary let me know how Kala was truly doing and what they were doing for her to have the best experience away from us. It wasn't just "fluff" it was genuine care and concern for Kala's wellbeing and our piece of mind. I without hesitation would provide the highest of recommendation for her providing the best of care.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for more than 20 years and have always been the person friends and family trust with their pets. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine and needs. I have a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own! My husband works from home and I work a few hours every day on campus, so someone is always here to keep an eye on the pups. We currently have a 7-year-old dog who is very gentle and loves canine company. We do multiple daily walks, scheduled feedings, and lots of snuggles! In my home, our lives revolve around our dog! It’s important to us to take walks out of the house, scheduled feedings, and playtime. We don’t have kids around, so we appreciate the energy and companionship of our dogs.
“Paige and her husband did a great job making sure my very shy cat was comfortable during the week I was gone. She was very responsive in updating me when I asked about my cat. 👍👍👍”
“Brianda was AMAZING with my dog. She opened him up to her home and family and treated him like her own dog. She provided daily pictures and updates, I would leave Enzo with her anytime!”
“Angela was a great dog sitter. She and her boys cared for our 14-yr old black lab, Willie. Willie bonded to Angela's son and enjoyed his visit. Willie has arthritis and is still recovering from a torn knee ligament in his rear leg. Angela took great care of him, giving him his prescribed medication and keeping him comfortable. We'd definitely recommend her and we look forward to using her pet sitting services again.”
“Let me first preface with there's not enough good things to say about our experience with Ashley! She deserves more than 5 Stars! Suffice to say, we have found a permanent boarder for our Husky, Hana! Quick, efficient and detailed updates and correspondence with plenty of photos. Our puppy Hana, is a delicate flower, very timid and practically scared of her own shadow when around strangers or in public, but it was in her stars to have someone like Ashley whom gave her the compassionate, loving care she needs. It's obvious the experience was exceptionally good for her, as she has matured so fast in just 2 weeks of boarding. We have to be thankful as well of Ashley's fur-baby Apollo, as having a grown husky to show our pup the ropes has helped her come out of her shell further. Ashley then went a step further with follow up correspondence to ensure Hana had a nice transition back home. We're so thankful, Mahalo nui loa!”
About: I petsit frequently for family, friends and neighbors for weeks at a time in my home and their homes. I have years of experience around all kinds of different animals. I understand different personalities in pets and can work around them. I stay at home with my two kids, who love animals. My schedule is always open so I am able to follow a unique routine. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of toys, energetic kids and two cats. One cat likes to play outside while the other stays inside. I have rooms set up in my home for animals who prefer to be by themselves.
“Becky is a very nice lady and has s lovely family. My dogs seem to have had fun with her. She sent photos while I was away for a short trip. I like that she does a meet and greet at her home instead of a dog park. I feel more welcome and comfortable. Thank you Becky for caring for Raijin & Kuma. We will definitely use her again.”
“Aloha, Katherine and Daniel did a wonderful job taking of my fur baby kingsly. This was my first time using Rover and found them. Send your fur baby to them they will care for them like their own. I definitely will use them again.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was hesitant. Dale and Lauren (and family) were fantastic communicators and I received multiple updates each day. You can tell they have a lot of experience and understand dogs really well. Kukui got tons of belly rubs, soft cushions to sleep on, and plenty of fun interaction. In the past, Kukui has eaten only sparingly when we are away. He had a healthy appetite at Dale & Lauren's house -- a testament on how relaxed he was.”
“Makayla was absolutely wonderful with Huey! From the moment I booked, her communication was exactly what every pet parent hopes for when leaving their dog in someone else’s care. She sent regular updates and photos, asked thoughtful questions whenever she needed clarification, and was proactive about sharing any concerns related to his care. I booked on very short notice and still received top-tier service. It was clear that Makayla genuinely cared about Huey’s comfort, safety, and well-being. Knowing he was in such kind and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I trust Makayla completely with my fur babies and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Thank goodness for Andrea, who helped with boarding Alika after my heart procedure. I asked for a last minute request and she was able to help with that as well. Alika came back a happy dog, which tells me he had a good stay with Andrea. Appreciate all her help with Alika. When she picked him up he did not hesitate to jump in her car. He really loves his time with her when she comes and walks him as well. I will definitely use Andrea again.”
