Dog Boarding in Papaikou, HI

“Alex was awesome, handled Azumi's new medical issue well and took good care of both dogs while we were away. They were happy, tired, and ready for a long nap when we all got home. And Alex was flexible about pick up when we got stuck in traffic getting back to town. Very happy!”

“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!!!”

“From when Shelby (4 month old crazy puppy) and I first met Sarah at our meet & great, Sarah seemed to be kind and a bit of a dog whisperer because Shelby instantly felt at home and started to get along with Sarah's little dog Toby. After the meet & great I was wondering if Sarah was going to accept Shelby but Sarah agreed to board Shelby and it almost seemed like she looked forward to us going on vacation. Sarah sent pictures and a video every day that we were gone and informed us how she was doing. She gave our little puppy carrots and sweet potato to help with her teething and we still practice that to this very day. It really helps with not having her chew up everything in the house. If anyone needs someone that is reliable, kind and just flat out knows what she is doing I highly recommend giving Sarah a chance. Trust me you won't be sorry! I know if I'm ever going off island again I'm defiantly going to use her again! Mahalo Sarah”

“We absolutely love Dianne! Ellie stayed with her while we were in Kona for my niece’s graduation party, and it was such a relief knowing she was in great hands. I was so busy with the party that I often forgot to check in, but Dianne always sent thoughtful updates and photos multiple times a day. A friend reminded me that it wasn’t that I forgot—it’s that I knew Ellie was safe and well cared for, and that couldn’t have been more true. Ellie had the best time, and I’m sure she can’t wait to visit her Aunty Dianne again!”

“Kayla really helped us out in a bind. We had a dog sitter cancel on us and so contacted her the same day we needed to drop off our sweet Millie. She took her last minute and cared for her perfectly. My sweet girl was a happy dog when we got home. Thanks Kayla!!!!!”

“I’ve left my dogs with her multiple times now, for long and short stays. I get tons of updates/pictures throughout the day and the dogs always have a blast, and they get excited when I drop them off there. Definitely recommend!”

“Perfect boarding for our small Lhasa Apsu . He had a good buddy their dog chewy. Athena sent good pictures with commentary everyday. Will use Athena again but now afraid our Bohdi will want to stay with them :)”

“We recently had the pleasure of having Crystal take care of our dog, Koa, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! She was outstanding in every way. Throughout the time she had Koa, she kept us updated on how ‘our little guy’ was doing, sending occasional pictures that truly comforted us and reassured us that our ‘baby’ was in great hands. Her exceptional care was evident in every interaction we had with her. She took the greatest care with Koa, and her experience really showed. He was happy and well-cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing Koa was in such capable hands. We highly recommend Crystal to anyone in need of an experienced and loving dog sitter. She went above and beyond to ensure our dog’s well-being, and we are incredibly grateful for her exceptional service.”

“I had an amazing experience with Vanessa! She watched my two dogs overnight and took such great care of them. She kept me updated with photos, made sure they were comfortable, and treated them like they were her own. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved being with her. I truly appreciate her kindness, communication, and the extra effort she put in. I’ll definitely be booking with her again whenever I need a sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Rachel is great with Bella. She makes her feel comfortable and puts her at ease. Love all the updates and pics I get throughout the trip!”

“Very pleasant host to deal with. Her farm has plenty of animal diversity and room for our old pup to roam. I would plan a return visit!”

“Xuan is a kind, sincere and caring person, as well as a genuine animal lover. My family and I needed to be away for a family trip thus we need to find someone to help boarding my dog Cody. I am truly glad that we found Xuan on Rover. Together with her husband Wallence, they have given Cody a great place to stay and a fun vacation of his own to enjoy. Their two golden retrievers Mysli and Zeepha are fun companions for Cody to play during his stay. I feel Cody has been well taken care of, and I am very grateful for Xuan's (and Wallence's) help so my family can also enjoy our vacation. Thus I hope anyone else who has dog sitting needs can also consider Xuan as your pet's boarding choice too. And you won't be disappointed.”

“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 :)”

About: 20+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs through every stage of life, from energetic puppies to dignified seniors approaching 18 years old. My family and I have successfully raised and cared for dogs of all sizes (small, medium, and large breeds). I understand that each dog is unique and requires tailored care based on their age, size, temperament, and health needs. 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. I have a gated property (not fully fenced, so I supervise outdoor time) with space for dogs to explore safely. Dogs who stay with me will have access to indoor comfort, outdoor supervised play, and structured routines that include regular walks, feeding times, and rest periods.

“I recently boarded my dog with Austin and had a WONDERFUL experience. Austin provided a warm and welcoming home environment for my furry friend, making the transition from my home to a boarding situation much easier for both myself and my dog. He was attentive to my dog's needs, offering plenty of love. The updates and pictures I received of my dog made me feel confident that my pet was in good hands. The boarding facilities were top-notch, with a spacious backyard for my dog to play in and a cozy bed for him to rest in. Overall, I would highly recommend Austin for anyone looking for a dog boarding option that feels like a second home for their pet. The level of care and attention Austin provided was exceptional, and I would not hesitate to use their services again in the future.”
