A One-on-One Dog Retreat

.One-on-one, in-home boarding for dogs who don’t do well in kennels or group settings. Only one dog or two from the same household is cared for at a time, with a near full-time presence so your dog is rarely left alone. Care is active and hands-on throughout the day. Dogs are engaged with, guided, and supported. Set on a fully fenced quarter-acre, there’s space to move, relax, and settle into a calm, structured home environment. Steady, attentive care so you can step away without second-guessing.

Denise was AMAZING! She gave our dog so much love and care. It was wonderful to have peace of mind when we were out of town. We especially appreciated the thoughtful videos and all the special ways made our dog feel comfortable. Mahalo Denise!

Denise was amazing! She really took care of Toro so well, and gave us such peace of mind while we were on our trip to Japan. There really isn't another place or person like this in Hawaii that is so understanding of more independent dogs like Shibas. We're so happy with the exercise Toro got in the yard, the beach walks, the updates/photos, and the extra care she put into helping our friend take Toro back to our house.

Genuinely couldn’t have been a better match for my Maka girl. This was her first time being sat and we were both a little nervous but Miss Denise took such good care of my girl, made me feel worry free the whole week. You don’t meet many compassionate people like her too often, thank you so much! Will surely book again (and Maka loved the big yard and walks on the beach)

Very responsive and communicative! Pepper had an amazing time. Would definitely recommend Denise, as she’s an experienced dog sitter, would definitely have her watch Pepper again if needed!

Denise went above and beyond for Kai and I think Kai was ready to spend the rest of her life with her new mommy! LOL! We have a toddler so she truly had a vacation retreat experience with Denise. Kai is anxious and can be aggressive around strangers, but she took to Denise right away and was immediately friendly. Denise took her to the beach every day, which she loves, and was clearly super happy and comfortable at Denise's home. Denise is super knowledgeable about dogs and took amazing care of her. She even gave Kai a bath and took care of a rash. I highly recommend Denise!

Safety, trust & environment

Each day follows a calm, structured rhythm based on the individual dog. Mornings begin with outdoor movement, followed by relaxed, unhurried meals. The day balances activity and rest, with space to move, play, and decompress, while gentle guidance is naturally integrated throughout. Evenings are calm and predictable, allowing each dog to fully settle in a safe, peaceful home with one-on-one attention..

A typical day

I'll be engaged with your dog anywhere from 21 to 24 hours daily. Every dog is treated like family. You'll be able to see everyday what we are up to!
