Dog Boarding in Hilo

“Alexander was great again with our pup, Koa. We've hired Alexander for doggy daycare several times, but this was the first boarding. There was a small mix-up at drop off, but he apologized and worked quickly to rectify the mistake. Koa is an anxious little guy, and Alexander was great with him. He accommodated our needy pup wanting to be glued to him the entire stay. They worked on the computer together, mowed the lawn together, and I'm sure there were countless other hours of lap snuggles. Warms my heart knowing that our little Koa was treated with compassion and support while away from home.”

“Béla was absolutely fantastic looking after my 4-legged furry little girl. She was super easy to work with, perfectly communicative, and went above and beyond taking care of my pup - even over the noisy New Year's holiday. I would 100% recommend Béla to anyone and am grateful to know that someone so caring and capable is available when I need someone to take care of my precious furkid. Thanks Béla!!!”

“The pups had an amazing time! Rebecca is attentive, caring, and fun. Great communication and we loved the updates. We really appreciate her help and will be booking with her again! :)”

“Great sitter for our two dogs. We will definitely be booking with her the next time we go out of town. She communicated with us the entire time we were away. We loved the pictures of our dogs during our vacation. She worked around our travel times and was so kind to allow us to drop our dogs off early in the morning. They had a great time because they were worn out when they got home. We would definitely recommend this sitter!”

“Here are why I recommend leaving your fur babies with Cheryl. She is at home all day so the babies are taken cared of 24/7. My elder dog needs 3 medications every 12 hours and Cheryl was able to give them to her. Lastly, while on my trip, the daily photos along with a little info about their day that I received helped me to know they were doing great.”

“My dog had a wonderful stay! She got to play and swim and was exhausted when I brought her home. I got lots of pictures throughout the trip and I know my dog would be happy to return!”

“First time boarding my fur baby and it was so scary! But Sarah made the process as easy as possible and was so communicative. She sent daily pictures and updates which was so nice! I definitely recommend and will definitely be back to her for future boarding needs!”

Kimberly S.

“Dianne was very attentive and caring to our dog, she responded fast which was great since our booking was quite last minute as our previous house sitter cancelled. I was so grateful for her daily updates on Kui and am so relieved to have found such a great pet sitter close to us!”

“Athena took really good care of our corgi Roxy in her home. She would send pics and videos throughout the day to let us know how happy Roxy was doing activities with Athena and her dog. They all got along so very well. Roxy loved her time with Athena. I hope that Athena will be available to watch Roxy again the next time we need a sitter.”

“Amazing experience with Xuan!! Murdoch loved his stay, was well taken care of and was tuckered from the enjoyable time with Xuan. Dropoff and pickup were super easy, and Xuan provided updates throughout our dog’s stay with pictures, videos, and other info (feeding, walking, playing, napping, etc.). Overall just an exceptional experience for us and our dog, we would highly recommend.”

About: I’m very patient and allow animals to introduce themselves to me instead of forcing an interaction. I love seeing all the different personalities that animals have and learning what their special love language is. I’m currently living in HPP in Keaau and I am willing to travel island wide for house sitting. I work remotely so I need reliable internet but I am available to be home with your pet most of the day. I have a little dog with a warrior spirit. We are willing to do a meet and great if you think I can bring my dog for house sitting. If you’d rather I don’t bring my dog, I can manage that too. He’s used to playing with large dogs including pit bulls and poodles/doodles. Feel free to reach out and ask questions. I am willing to just let your dogs out and feed them but I am also willing to be present day and night if requested. Just let me know your expectations.

“Rachel is great with Bella. She makes her feel comfortable and puts her at ease. Love all the updates and pics I get throughout the trip!”

About: I'm an animal lover. All my life I've had furbabies, I've trained them myself, nursed, raised, and care for others furbabies also. Walks, skateboarding, or rollerblading. Playtime is important. All my furbabies have massages, Maine care and they love bathtime with massage in nice warm water. When it's hot out, playtime in the pool is substantial and necessary. Of course grindz time following water play is a must. Play and learn go hand in hand, animals are incredibly intelligent. An amazing experience is when they smile and show their love with cuddles and kisses, my furbaby gives great hugs and with training yours could too. Message me and we can collaborate your needs and an availability to welcome your fur love at our joyously, harmonious blessed home where I mālama (caretake) all myself. A fenced secured yard is throughout premises. Open, Nice clean and clear yard with ample space to run and play. Meals, treats are on hand. Special snacks, medications, specific diet and such will need to be presented and kept with your furbaby. If there are special storage requirements of such items, please advise and indicate on each item.

“Shelby and Jesse's place was like Disneyland for my Minnie - from what I could see in the pictures Shelby sent, Minnie had an absolute blast with their dogs. I think she was a little sad to return home with me! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a homestay option that is both convenient for the owner and fun for the pup :)”

“Crystal was God sent. We were looking for somewhere to board our dog overnight while our home was being fumigating. The night before my service a friend on Facebook book suggested rover.com. I sent a request to Crystal. She accepted by last minute booking and my last minute request for an extended stay because my home wasn’t ready at the time it was supposed to be. My dog was so well cared for and happy. She sent frequent updates. She also had toys (I forgot) to keep my dog entertained. Mahalo Crystal.”

“Very pleasant host to deal with. Her farm has plenty of animal diversity and room for our old pup to roam. I would plan a return visit!”

About: Had a family dog at my dad growing up. Always had cats around. Had a some pet rats and fish throughout the years. Been learning a lot in the months now that I’ve rescued my dog. Would combine caring for your dog with my own. Love going on walks and hike along with lounging around. Like to help out other fellow dogs and their owners because been finding out work with a furry loved one at home is not always ideal. Following golden rule, treat others and pets we want to be treated. And the Hawaiian golden rule, leave a place better than how you found it. With love and respect.

“This was the first time using Spencer to sit our two dogs at his home. Things could not have been better! Spencer is not only a terrific dog sitter, but he clearly LOVEs dogs. His communication was excellent right from the beginning as we were inquiring of his availability, setting up a meet-and-greet, as well as through the time our dogs stayed with him. Daily status and photos! The dogs were well cared for, and he followed the instructions my wife provided him to the letter. We look forward to using Spencer again in the near future, and would highly recommend him as a first-class dog sitter.”

“Best dog sitters ever! The family took care of our one year old pug for 11 nights while we were on the mainland. Maka was well cared for and we received communications with pictures every other day. Highly recommend!”

About: Hey guys, I have two dogs now and I've taken care of cats, dogs and birds since I was a kid. I love getting exercise with my dogs. I know how hard it is to find a good sitter (I am occasionally looking), so let me help you. If our schedules work out I am happy to help out! I work from home, so I am always around to help, talk to and keep company your loved pets. They will be cared for and in the company of my other frenchie's. I have a fenced yard. Within the fence we also have another fenced area in case one of the pets needs to be separated. It's a nice space because it's warm, with lots of toys and covered. We live on an acre, so taking walks is a plus! We allow the pets to sleep inside and we have lots of comfy beds.
