Caring Retreat Center & Dog Day Spa

Pet care experience

My specialty is providing a relaxing, fun, and pampered experience to distract your furry friend from the stress of missing you, even if that just means a mid-day walk and paw massage while you're at work. I have experience with special needs pets. From food allergies and meal plans to the administration of oral and topical medications, I'm happy to work with you and your pet's individual requests. Multiple pets from different families are generally welcome for daycare and overnight stays. However, I am happy to accommodate requests for your pet or multi-pet family to have a private retreat. All dog-care in my home is accessible for the young and old alike on a single floor with no stairs and direct access to a fenced yard that is perfect for sudden potty breaks or long evening sniffs & strolls. Please disclose all health and behavioral concerns so that I may give your dog or cat the best possible experience. I look forward to meeting you and ensuring that your furry family member has a stress-free day with plenty of love and attention.

Rachael was amazing with my 2 dogs! I went off-island for 5-days and was so nervous to leave my fur babies behind, but I felt at ease with Rachael caring for them. She made my dogs feel right at home and gave them extra attention with fun play time and new walking places. Rachael even gave me daily updates with how they were doing with cute pictures and videos of them playing. It allowed me to worry less about them and enjoy my vacation! I will definitely use Rachael again for my dogs and am now feeling better about traveling more! Mahalo so much, Rachael! :)

Rachael is a friendly, caring pet-lover who is fun to communicate with and very professional. She is responsive to any messages and very detail oriented for any needs you may have with your pet. Rachael goes above and beyond to treat your pet like her own. I trust her with any 4-legged child of mine and always look forward to help!

Rachael H. is a dog’s best friend and because she lthe four footed beings . I chose to keep my beloved cats company when I went away. She’s smart and level headed on her way to becoming a Doctor. She counts many dogs as among her dear friends.

Rachael H, is by far the best dog sitter I've ever had the pleasure of hiring. I make numerous off island trips to the mainland, sometimes I've been gone for a month at a time. I have 2 dogs. One is a very hyper 2 y/o pitbull puppy that Rachel actually helped me train as well. She was very patient with her and I noticed they bonded very well, Rachael wasn't scared and established dominance when needed. My other dog is my koa buddy he is a 6 y/o pitbull mix, and very loyal to me so he hated when I left even to the grocery store, he fell in love with Rachel at first sight, and while away on my trips he didn't get depressed like he had in the past with other sitters. Rachael was different she actually cared about their needs and even whipped out some Homemade dog food to ease them during my travels. One time I had to rush my girl pitbull to the vet (3hours away) for emergency stitches and x-rays. I called Rachael, and she was at my house within minutes to care for my other aniamls and secure the place. I left in a rush and came home to a beautiful arrangement of flowers and a sweet "get well soon" card with treats for my pup. Having her on the job made me feel so much better and that I didn't have to rush back from trips. If anything my dogs might have liked her more than me. I don't stress vacations and business trips anymore because I know my dogs are cared for extremely well and loved like family.
