Dog Boarding in Kurtistown, HI

“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!!!”

“We are new to the island and had been looking for a safe place for our pup to stay overnight while we explore the island. Sarah took great care of our guy. Her home is open and very welcoming/dog friendly, and she has a large yard perfect for running a playing. We would definitely consider leaving S’mores with her again.”

“Cheryl was just amazing! She sent updates and took amazing care of my boy, who absolutely loved hanging out with her pup Jimmy. He came home happy and tuckered out. We are just in HI traveling, otherwise would absolutely use Cheryl again!”

“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.”

“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. :)”

“I don’t think there is anybody in the world who would treat my dog better. I feel bad every time I pick my pup up and she has to come back to live with me! I highly recommend Nat!”

“Dianne was simply awesome. After nine years with my fur baby, this was the first time I had a relaxing vacation. Communication was great, pictures daily showed she was being well cared for. I was a little worried cocoa puff would not welcome me home. Thank you Dianne for such great care of my “baby””

“Andrea did a great job taking care of my dog, Milo. She was very accommodating with Milo's needs. This was the first time in his 3 years that he spent the night in someone else's home. Also the first time he played with a dog off leash. Andrea's doodle, Finn, was a great companion for Milo. After Milo warmed up they played very well together. I definitely recommend her to take care of your pet.”

“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.”

Differently will ask her to watch my girl again. Thank you so much Danya!!”

About: Need someone to watch your pet in a pinch? I'm your girl! I grew up taking care of my family's cats and dogs. Now that I don't have any pets of my own, I'm committed to providing the best possible care for yours. I TAKE LAST MINUTE BOOKINGS! Because I run my own online business from home, I can shift my schedule around you and your pet's unique needs. I have a huge, fenced yard great for running and playing, and a screened lanai where we can soak up the sun. I live in a safe, quiet neighbourhood perfect for long, peaceful walks. There are no other animals or children in the home, so your pet will have my full attention. My calm, cheerful demeanour helps pets (and people!) feel safe in a new environment.

“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 :)”

I work from home full-time and am available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I like to take the dogs for daily walks along Beach Rd. Schedule is flexible, but prefer cooler times of day morning/afternoon. My home is shared with three well-socialized dogs (two chihuahua mixes and one larger dog), a friendly outdoor cat who roams our property, and backyard chickens.

Please let me know what your needs are. I am here to help :)

“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.”
