Dog Boarding in Pahoa, HI

“Cheryl took wonderful care of Oda for a multi-day stay. Oda was newly arrived to Hawaii and had several housing changes in the past two months. Oda was anxious and reactive and responded well to Cheryl's calm and comforting manner. Part of the anxiousness Oda experienced resulted he her rubbing her nose into things until it was raw. Oda was so comfortable with Cheryl that Oda quit rubbing her nose and it actually began to heal. Cheryl definately provided the tender loving care that Oda needed to relax and start enjoying Hawaii. It's not everyone that will take on a large, active, and anxious dog. I highly recommend Cheryl for pet care and owner care. It was the first time I left Oda and she was very reassuring. I will be a repeat customer! Thank you, Cheryl!”

“Blair was very responsive and accommodating in my last-minute booking! She is clearly a major dog lover - Coconut looked so happy playing over there, and Blair was great about giving me updates and sending pics. Thanks for taking such great care of her!”

“Kayla Raye was absolutely wonderful with my puppy, Luka; I'd give extra stars if I could. We met in person, and I saw right away how she handled his puppy jumping by slightly turning and asking him to sit instead (clearly experienced with puppies). While talking, she asked all the right questions (are there any foods he can't have, how's his recall, does he play well with other dogs, etc.). While Luka was at Kayla's house, she sent multiple daily updates coupled with adorable photos. He even came back brushed better than when I'd left him! Kayla cared for my puppy like he was her own, and I cannot recommend her enough. Kayla, thank you SO much for taking care of Luka! We'll be back. :)”

“Tess has been an animal lover all her life and has a special way of interacting with pets that makes them immediately comfortable with her. Every dog or cat Tess sees is the "cutest one she has has ever seen," and she loves spending time with them and taking care of them. Besides showing lots of love to every pet she encounters, Tess is very responsible and committed to making sure they get the care they need, whether it's feeding, medications, grooming or visiting the vet. I have 100% trust in Tess and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a special helper with their pets.”

“Very pleased with the experience. Rachel was flexible and communicated well. I highly recommend Rachel for Boarding or day long drop offs.”

“Dawn was accommodating, and very friendly! My pup enjoyed his stay there, thanks!”

“Another excellent experience ❤️”

“Delia and Kim took great care of my two kitties for the day. They are both very friendly and helped me out on short notice. Thank you so much!”

“Fabulous. Ziggy had the best experience and made new doggy friends. Natalie is amazing. She sent me tons of daily update photos that alleviated my worries and concerns (my dog can be a little anxious sometimes) and text updates, as well. Five stars, 10/10, will definitely be a return boarder. Thank you, Natalie!!”

“Alfie had a great time! They were super attentive and accommodating. Got updates with photos which really made my day. Thanks You...We'll be back.”

About: Animals are my passion, and I have been around them my whole life. I grew up around cats, dogs, reptiles and chickens. I hope to get my own dog one day when I have a backyard. I have tons of pet sitting experience, from watching cats and dogs for long periods of time to walking dogs on a consistent basis. I even had a dog hiking job, where I walked up to 8 dogs at a time! I also used to volunteer at the Humane Society as a dog companion. I currently work as a veterinary assistant, and I love it. I am normally available on Thursdays, saturdays and sundays. Friday nights could work for me, as well. I am always willing to talk more about scheduling I always ensure that pets have a safe environment to rest, eat and play in. I love to provide enrichment for animals in my care, such as taking dogs out on frequent walks or playing with cats.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats every since I can remember. I have experience training puppies, raising kind pit bulls and taken care of elderly animals gently and compassionately with lots of love. I am currently starting up my yoga business. Classes are 3 days a week. Most days I am home gardening or at the beach. I have more then enough time to share with a fur baby or 4!!! I have a 1/4 acre with plenty of room for animals to enjoy. I just added in a fenced in area to my side yard. Perfect for allowing pups to run off leash. I can walk the dogs around the yard and the neighborhood. They would be treated like family. My home is my sanctuary. My home very peaceful, quiet and serene. I love to play with animals

“Meredith is a long time friend, she has always been very caring and nice around animals. I would trust her to walk my dog. She seems to have a way with animals.”

“Ashley & Chaz , were wonderful with my dogs , they took such good care of them. Highly recommend..”

“Our dog had a wonderful day. She played with their kitten, her first cat friend. Yernando and Cindy sent photos, one was our dog sniffing the kitten, both lying in their daughter’s bed. A lovely family, felt very safe and well cared for. Thank you so much . We’ll be back for sure!”

“lahi is truly such a blessing to myself and my sweet cooper. lahi was quick to respond to my messages and quick to help out when i needed it the most. she has quickly become a trusted friend to myself and my cooper. she has a friend for absolute life. cooper was so well taken care of and loved. my heart and soul couldn’t be more grateful.”

About: I have never not taken care of a dog. When I move to new places I usually adopt a dog. When I moved home from Tonga I brought my Tongan doggy. I have trained many puppies and love hosting doggie play dates. I currently work out of my house 3 days and in office 2 days. My office is a short drive away, so I am home frequently throughout the day. My dog hangs out on a big lanai while I’m gone. I have a crate of crating is what you desire. Dogs are allowed in our home as well if they are well-behaved.

“Lyndsey cared for our pup Taz while we went one a three day camp trip. She was amazing! Everything you’d want in a sitter-friendly, communicative, and responsible. From the moment we dropped Taz off we knew he was in good hands. She sent us daily video and photo updates during his stay and It was obvious he was having a good time. At pick-up, we caught Taz snuggled up with her on the balcony. He was content and happy. We are very pleased with the care she gave him. She will be the first person we call when we need a sitter.”

“She is truly amazing with all types of dogs. Her passion and care shine through in every interaction. I couldn't be happier with the service they provide for my furry friend. Highly recommend!”

“Excellent boarders. Friendly, very reasonable cost, dogs treated very well, flexible… overall just excellent. We live on the Hamakua coast but are more than willing to drive the 45 minutes to them to know our pup is well looked after.”
