Highlights
Pet care experience
I'd rather hangout with your dog
With over 20 years of experience, I’ve learned that a dog doesn’t just need a place to stay—they need a staycation. If you’re looking for a home-away-from-home, I offer a safe, cozy environment where your fur-baby is a pack member, not just a guest. My home features a spacious, half-acre fenced yard, perfect for zoomies and sunbathing. Toby, my dog, is always ready to make new friends and play. Whether you’re heading off-island or just need someone for the day, I’m here to make sure your fur-baby's time away is just as fun as it is safe. Every dog is part of our pack. I provide regular photo and video updates so you have total peace of mind while you're away. Let’s chat! I’d love to meet you and your fur-baby to discuss how I can make your next vacation, their staycation. Message me to schedule a meet-and-greet!

Ratings and reviews
Sarah was absolutely wonderful with Tanga, and I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. She sent me regular photos and videos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I was especially happy to see how well Tanga got along with her dog, Toby, and it was clear that Sarah made him feel comfortable and at home. She was reliable, communicative, kind, and very attentive to him. I’m extremely grateful for the care she gave Tanga and would absolutely trust her with him again. I travel from time to time and will definitely reach out to Sarah again in the future. I feel very lucky to have found someone I can genuinely trust with Tanga. Highly recommended!!!
Sarah was an excellent host for our two pups. She communicated every day and asked one question about our blind dog’s medications to ensure she had the sequence correct. Their property was perfect for two semi-active dogs. Plenty of socializing and exercise. Sarah is highly recommended and we would definitely ask her to sit again!!
Sarah always does a great job caring for Mochi. She keeps me updated with pictures. Mochi is always excited when she gets to Sarah’s so I know she’s being loved and cared for while she is there!
Sarah was great. Dogs were well cared for and taken care of. Will definitely be using her next time we need someone to watch our fur baby’s. Mahalo
Sarah was great, from “greet and meet” to the end of Stella’s stay. Stella received all the attention and love she needed during her stay with Sarah, and I enjoyed daily updates with pictures and videos! She got to meet Sarah’s dog Toby as well as other pups that was under her care, got to run around and explore in her fenced yard, got to walk in the neighborhood, all kinds of fun! I would recommend her to anyone! Your doggies are going to have a great time with her! Thank you Sarah!
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.

Schedule
Enjoy peace of mind knowing your dog is in loving hands. I’m home all day, providing constant care and a secure, comfortable environment for boarding dogs. For drop-in visits, I’m available for morning and evening sessions to fit your dog’s routine, with flexibility for custom schedules. I travel within a 10 mile radius from Pahoa, covering Keaau and nearby areas, ensuring your pup gets timely care, whether at my home or yours.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Guest dogs enjoy a safe, loving home with a fully fenced half-acre yard in Pahoa for playtime, plus a cozy indoor space for rest. I offer frequent play sessions and potty breaks every 0-2 hours. I’m experienced with administering oral and injected medications and handling special needs dogs. My household has no children, and my own sweet 6 lb dog, Toby (neutered), is friendly with other dogs (no females in heat accepted)—he enjoys company, so I especially welcome calm 20 lb (or 21-40 lb) dogs who are already accustomed to living or playing with small dogs. This helps ensure everyone has a relaxed, fun stay!
Pets
A typical day
Dogs in my care enjoy a fun-filled day in Pahoa with outdoor play in my fully fenced half-acre yard, and plenty of indoor relaxation. I provide morning and bedtime potty breaks, meals, and lots of personalized attention—think fetch games, belly rubs, treat time, one-on-one cuddles, and cuddle puddles! While guest dogs are not allowed on our beds (to keep things clean and comfortable for everyone), they each get their own cozy bed right in our bedroom so the whole household goes to bed together and sleeps peacefully in one room. This setup helps dogs feel secure and included, just like family!
