“Excellent care for Coco was received. We were provided with daily updates which we looked forward to receive. From the beginning we could tell she felt right at home. Very clean and spacious surroundings. We would recommend Tracey and her team to anyone looking for a place for their small pet.”
“Emma is absolutely fantastic, she is very communicative and always sends photos of my Natsu to keep me updated on how she’s doing. It was great to see how happy Natsu was to be able to have some more space to run around ar Emma’s place. Emma is very thorough and flexible as well, I will definitely rebook her in the future!”
“I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Camille. She was the sweetest person ever. She took such great care of Ziggy. She sent multiple daily updates and pictures letting us know how our baby was doing. It was clear Ziggy was family his entire stay. 100% recommend. Thank you so much.”

“John (and family) were amazing and we're very happy we were able to book a stay with him for Eva. He is friendly, super communicative, and made Eva feel right at home. She got lots of love, attention, and belly rubs. I knew she was in great hands from the start. I can’t recommend John enough, and look forward to booking another stay when we have to leave island for a few days since Eva was treated like family.”

“Tanya was amazing! From our conversations before our fur baby’s stay, to drop off, during and pick up- she was amazing! Bella was so well loved and cared for and gave us so much peace to enjoy our stay away. Her daughters sure loved on our puppy to! She sent pictures and communicated well throughout the entire stay and made me feel safe to leave a puppy. She clearly loves dogs- all stages and so I know she would love on anyone else’s fur baby well too! Will definitely use again and recommend to anyone that n Oahu!! Such a seamless, good experience! Mahalo Tanya, we so appreciate you!”

“Mindy and her family are absolutely amazing!! Our golden retriever Rocky stayed with them for 2 weeks and truly had a vacation of his own! Mindy kept our minds at ease our whole trip back to the mainland, with picture and video updates daily! Rocky got to play with the kiddos, went to a baseball game, walks and a water/spa day (head massages included)! Will definitely be using Mindy again in the future and highly recommend! Thank you again to Mindy and her family”
“This was our first time using Rover and Giselle made me feel so comfortable from the start. She followed any instructions that we left and let me know if MeiMei strayed from her norm. Giselle sent pictures of MeiMei at least twice a day and in all the pictures you could tell she was in doggy heaven! MeiMei was comfortable and taken cared of very well; she even had a spa day with Giselle which included a bath and nail cutting, which we appreciated so much! MeiMei was in good hands and I would not hesitate to use Giselle 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!”
“My puppys first full weekend away from home. She was very welcoming and made him feel like part of her family. Followed my instructions, kept puppy safe and happy. Not much more I could ask for!”

Aimee was super amazing with our dog hero. She would consistently send us photos while we was on our trip. I would have her watch our dog again when we go on a trip again. Plus this was our first time doing this with our dog and she made us feel confident that everything will be okay while we were away.
Keyshla is super friendly and did a phantastic job with our 2 shizu chihuahuas!! The dogs were happy, and that was evident in the photos that Keyshla shared of the dogs during their stay. I warmly recommend this sitter!! Great job, Keyshla, we’ll hopefully see you next time we need a sitter!
Emma is awesome!! While on our trip we were so comfortable and at ease knowing our dog Saydee was well taken care of. Emma gave Saydee her daily required meds and sent us updated pictures and videos and we could tell Saydee was content and relaxed. I would highly recommend Emma as your pet sitter when planning a trip. When we plan our next trip we would definitely use Emma again. Thank you Emma for taking care of Saydee!!!
We reached out to Eilymar on short notice for a weekend getaway, and she graciously agreed to set up a meet-and-greet that afternoon. The moment we met her and her dog, I knew our dog was in good hands. Eilymar was warm and unfazed by my anxious pup’s initial barking. Her dog was equally patient and calm. Throughout the stay, she kept us updated on how he was doing and promptly answered all my questions. Eilymar went above and beyond in taking care of my pup when he had an accident and got himself messy. Even though I felt bad that she had to deal with that, I was so thankful she kept him clean and comfortable. I highly recommend her!
Katarina and Daniel did such a great job during our first overnight visit. They are so caring and sweet!!! Thumper had a great time with Ganja and enjoyed the scratches and snuggles. I was updated frequently and got lots of pictures about how he was doing and questions to confirm things that I may have missed. I can't wait to see them again for Thumper's next visit so he can be with his new friends.If you need someone not too far from the airport or centrally located on island, they are a great couple and sweet doggo to connect to your dog! I'm so thankful that I reached out to them!!!
Jonathan did a great job taking care of my two dogs while I took a short trip away. He was very responsive and sent photos during their stay. Jonathan had a dog of his own, which my dogs and his dogs became friends in a very short time. I would highly recommend Jonathan for your next dog vacay and I will use him on future trips.
Kymberli and her family took phenomenal care of Goose! She was super easy to work with and helped us out with our short-notice booking. Gave my pup lots of love and made sure to send plenty of updates throughout the trip. We’ll definitely be booking again! Thanks Kymberli!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
95% of sitters in Waimalu 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 Waimalu 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 Waimalu.
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 Waimalu. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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 Waimalu 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.
