“This was my very first time using Rover. Tracey and her mom was very professional. Tracey answered my messages right away, they sent pictures throughout the day, I got a summery of the day and TK seemed happy to be there. I would definitely leave my baby with Tracey and her mom again! They understand that our furry babies are so precious to us!”
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. I have no kids on property.
About: Our oldest dog is 5 years old, being an intelligent, high energy breed she’s taught me everything I know! I wanted to start dog sitting specifically for military families, so you can be confident your pets are in good hands for an affordable price when you need to leave the island or are working long hours! MUST have access onto Hickam military base I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always home! I have plenty of time and space to give your pets the attention they need I keep my dogs on a strict feeding/potty schedule and pay attention to their cues, I can provide the same level of care and attention to detail for your pets! I have a fenced in yard and the AC is always on!
“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!”
“We are repeat visitors and Bishop has fallen in love with one of Christine’s dogs. He looks forward to coming over and looks back everyone he leaves. As new dog parents we are relieved to give Bishop a chance to socialize and not be home alone all the time during the work week.”
“Megan is absolutely amazing with Rick. We refer to her as Rick’s second family. He’s always so excited to go over. I can always count on Megan to be available, even in the last minute. She’s truly the best.”
“Truffles had such a lovely time with Sherrie & family. They took such great care of him, giving lots of love and play and activities for him to do. He has lots of great memories, and I definitely recommend Sherrie and will rebook.”
“Makayla was very patient with my Labrador puppy despite a hectic drop off. My puppy was anxiously barking, jumping & whining. Makayla did a great job comforting her, took her on several walks and to the dog park to play fetch. I know my puppy can be a handful, so I’m extremely grateful that doggy day care went so well! I would hire Makayla again.”
About: Hi! I’m Becky, and I absolutely love animals. I’ve spent my life around both dogs and cats and have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My own dog recently passed away, and we miss her every day. While our family isn’t in a position to have a pet of our own right now, we truly love having animals around and enjoy every opportunity to care for them. I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day. If your pet is boarding with us, they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I have the autonomy in my job to take breaks for walks, playtime, potty breaks, belly rubs, fetch sessions, or simply spending quality time with your pet. When your pet stays with us, they’ll be treated like part of the family and loved as if they were our own. I have two young children who are gentle, kind, and respectful of animals. Because of this, I only accept pets that are comfortable around children. Whether your pet prefers long walks, active playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having company throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their needs and routine. I care for both dogs and cats and will do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Thanks, Becky Wheeler I work from home and I can take several breaks throughout the day to play or walk. I have a lot of autonomy in my job, so if your dog has a certain schedule, chances are I can customize my day around them. I have a big fenced yard or a big comfy couch. Your pet will be able to choose if it wants to be outside or inside.
“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover and the first time leaving Lilly, our puppy Goldendoodle at someone else’s house. We were glad we found Madara. She sent us photos of Lilly during her stay and was very responsive at all time.We will definitely consider her again when visiting Virginia.”
“Truffles had the best spa-like experience in Nichole's care! Play, rest, care, he got it all. Her puppies were also able to play well with Truffles, and helped wear him out, for a good night's sleep. Definitely recommend, and thank you for taking such great care of Truffles.”
“I highly recommend Catalina if you need someone to take care of your pet. She is dedicated, compassionate, and understanding towards animals. If you want someone who will treat your pet with love, then Catalina on Rover.com is the right person for you. I recently booked Catalina for doggy day care on Rover.com when I was in town. Even though I arranged it at the last minute, Catalina was a lifesaver for my 12-year-old Miniature American Eskimo, Nimbus, who has slight separation anxiety. Catalina was very friendly and welcoming from the beginning, which helped me and Nimbus feel at ease. Even though I forgot to bring Nimbus's toys, Catalina took care of her well during the seven hours she was with her. Catalina went above and beyond to make sure Nimbus was comfortable. Nimbus was given specific treats that I provided, brushed, and walked. It was clear that Catalina cared for Nimbus and was aware of her anxiety. Catalina was also mindful of Nimbus's behavior. Nimbus is not good with other dogs and has a tendency to chase cats. Catalina kept Nimbus in a safe and comfortable environment and made sure she was away from anything that could distress her. This shows how much Catalina tailors her care to each pet's specific needs. Catalina's ability to adapt to Nimbus's specific needs proves why I highly recommend her services on Rover.com.”
“Recieved lots of updates and great communication! My dog struggles with seperation anxiety and I know she was well cared for because she wasnt stressed out or desperate to see me when I picked her up, which was a major relief.”
“You know when Bishop loves his dog sitters when he jumps out of the car and leaves me behind. He loves his Ate Theresa and Uncle Clint. Theresa like many other of the awesome dog angels in the community she has given me a peace of mind while on travel, work or taking care of appointments for my Kupunas. Communication with Theresa has been great and we appreciate some of the last minute changes due to work schedules. Thank you for taking care of our new member to our family.”
“Alexis took exceptional care of CASH! This was his first time with a sitter and Alexis was so patient with him and made him feel comfortable!! She provided plenty of updates and sent lot of pics! I know that CASH can’t wait to see her again!”
“Our mini Aussie Brew loves staying with Lily and her goldens! He has a blast and doesn’t want to leave. He is always well cared for and we get videos of him playing which we love! Recommend for both boarding and doggy daycare!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Waimalu
Chelsie was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the start, she was so kind, responsive, and clearly cared deeply about giving him the best experience possible. My pup is pretty anxious and definitely high-maintenance, requiring a lot of extra care and attention, and Chelsie handled it all so effortlessly. She truly went above and beyond—taking him everywhere with her and making sure he felt included, safe, and loved the entire time he was away from me. He also has a pretty intensive medication schedule, and she managed it perfectly, which gave me so much peace of mind. She kept me constantly updated with tons of photos and detailed messages, so I always knew how he was doing. It was clear he was getting lots of great care and attention. I’m beyond grateful and would 100% trust Chelsie again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like their own! 🐾💛

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Waimalu
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Waimalu on Rover is $39.96 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 508 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Waimalu. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Waimalu commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 508 sitters in Waimalu, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
