To make sure every stay goes smoothly for everyone, here's what I'd love to know before we book. Please share any details about your dog's personality, quirks, routines, and any medical needs or medications they require. The more I know upfront, the better I can tailor their stay. I welcome dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages — including seniors and those with special needs. Multiple dogs from the same family are absolutely welcome and often do better together away from home. I'm comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines, just walk me through everything at our meet and greet. The one thing I ask is that dogs coming to stay are non-aggressive toward people and other animals. Because our property is open and I want every dog to feel safe and relaxed, a calm and friendly temperament is important. If you're unsure, let's do a meet and greet first — I'm always happy to assess fit before we commit to a booking.

A typical day starts with a morning explore across our acreage — plenty of fresh air, new smells, and open space to stretch their legs. Throughout the day your pup will have free roam of the property, belly rubs on demand, and as much or as little activity as suits their personality and age. For more energetic dogs we'll play fetch, go on walks through the tropical surroundings, and burn off that island energy. For senior dogs or those who prefer a slower pace, we keep things gentle — quiet companionship, easy strolls, and lots of cozy rest time. Living on Hawaii's Big Island means every day outside is genuinely beautiful — birdsong, warm breezes, and lush greenery that most dogs back on the mainland could only dream of. Your dog won't just be watched — they'll be on a little Hawaiian vacation of their own.
