“Rayder had the active fun day! He got to explore the mini farm and have other doggy playmates to fill his visit. he had so much fun that it took him a full two days to recover 🤣 such a loving and fulfilled home to leave your pups”
“Carrie & Jonathan take care of her and updated me. Carrie was very flexible and willing to accept her my request when my plans was changed. I appreciate it your willingness, and I am grateful for your support and care of my dog.”
“What an awesome experience! Bridget gave us great updates throughout our pup’s stay. We had no doubt that our pup was living his best life the whole time. We have nothing but good things to say!”
“Highly recommended!!! I’m so happy I found a trusting sitter for our fur baby! I reached out last minute in need of boarding services due to a last minute off-island trip, they were so prompt with responding to our urgent booking, both Zoe and Danica were so kind and sweet, they made sure our HoneyGirl was comfortable and had everything she needed and was very well taken cared of throughout her boarding time. We’re so grateful for the attention and care they gave to our fur baby! We had piece of mind knowing our 🐶 was in good hands. We’re blessed to know Zoe and Danica especially for caring and looking after our HoneyGirl🐶, 10/10 care and service. 🐾💕 And excellent communication with us, they were also so kind enough to send us photos of our pup which made me feel at ease, my pup looked happy and relaxed. So Do not hesitate and book now you won’t be disappointed! Your fur baby is in good hands!”
“Rochelle is amazing! My dog has anxiety so I can tell when he is comfortable and has a good time, and he was very happy being with her. She only takes small dogs so this was also a plus as Chewie is nervous around big dogs, especially as he was attacked by a larger dog in the past. I will certainly use her again. She is a gem!”

“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We were texted an update and video half way through so we could be reassured our dog was having a fun time. Jurassic Bark is a super professional set up: basically doggy Disneyland! Our dog came home happy and tired out from playing all weekend! We couldn’t recommend this sitter more!”
About: I am an animal lover who has been helping friends and family with sitting their fur babies for years and i want to take my skills to the next level by sitting on rover 🐾 I would love to sit during the week and on weekends. I have a flexible schedule and live an active lifestyle and would love to go on long walks and hikes with your pets or enjoy time cuddling on the couch. I keep a very tidy house so there won’t be much to worry about your pets getting into and I will leave your home better than I found it as well. I live on col de sac so the road is not busy and very good neighborhood for dog walking
About: Hi there! We’re Shayele and Carl — a pet-loving couple who truly understand that animals are family. Between us, we have two amazing dogs of our own: a playful 4-year-old Boston Terrier and a sweet 14-year-old Cavalier King Charles mix who’s taught us the art of gentle, patient care for senior pets. Shayele has experience with animals at a local farm, caring for everything from donkeys and alpacas to goats, sheep, cows, chickens, and horses. From feeding to administering medications, you can trust that your pets are in experienced, capable hands. Carl brings a calm, steady presence and a big heart for animals of all kinds. Together, we’re reliable, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with furry (and sometimes feathered!) friends. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some cuddle time, or consistent, compassionate care while you’re away, we’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. 🐶 Reliable. Caring. Animal-loving. Always treating your pets like our own. 🐾 Pet care is a big part of our daily routine. Our schedule is flexible, and someone is usually home to watch the dogs. On the rare occasion we can t be home, we re happy to work with owners to meet each pet s specific needs. We love taking dogs along on outings and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. "We live in a safe, gated community with a large yard and a spacious field behind our house, perfect for pets to run, explore, and play under supervision. Inside, pets enjoy plenty of cuddle time on the couch, interactive toy play, and attention from us throughout the day. Our dogs often accompany us on walks, to the park, or on other adventures, helping your furry family member feel included and socialized. We carefully follow all instructions, including administering medications and accommodating any special care or routines your pet may require, ensuring they are safe, happy, and loved while in our care."

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waikapu
Julia was amazing with our babies - we have 2 older dogs - one that is 16 and the other is 11. She took wonderful care of them and gave us updates, sent us photos and walked them a few times a day. I could see that they were so happy staying with her. We are excited that we have found our babies' second home when we are away! Thank you Julia.
Megan goes above and beyond to give the care and exercise that my pup needs. She provides a personalized sitting experience and only sat my pup with her pup at her home. When I forgot to leave a specific food topper that my pup needs, Megan was able to find it. She can be counted on.
Farah was a life saver for us. We had a family emergency and she went above and beyond taking care of our dog. Farah took our dog a week early and dealt with some destructive behaviors with such grace and care. She waked her on beautiful hikes, handled meds and food allergies. We feel so grateful for Farah!!
Rochelle was super friendly and accommodating. She had great communication and sent us numerous text during our pups stay. Coco took to Rochelle extremely well, which is not very common for her. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt extremely comfortable and could tell that Coco did too. Rochelle’s space was very dog friendly. Our Pup was even on several medications at the time, which Rochelle made sure to give her and stayed on top of. I would definitely recommend Rochelle for your pups next stay! 10/10!

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Waikapu can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Waikapu 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 Waikapu.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waikapu. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Waikapu 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
