Doggy Day Care in Volcano

“Natalie and Mark have been awesome! Working with my precious 8 week old pup on pottie training and more. They treat Kai as if she was their own! So happy to have found them.”

“Alayna and Ben are wonderful pet sitters! I can tell that the dogs had a good time. They were able to accommodate for their quirks. The dogs even got to socialize with their pups and learn some doggie manners. Ben is truly a dog whisperer. I won’t ever feel bad about leaving the dogs behind with Alayna and Ben because I know they’ll enjoy their time there, be loved and they are in good hands.”

About: Hey! My name is Katie. I’m a freelance photographer, so if you want any cute pictures of your fur babies I got you! I live in an off-grid house with a big grassy yard perfect for dogs. I used to work at a veterinarian office as a Kennel Technician and just love dogs. I’m good at giving them attention, playing with them, and giving them love. I love hiking and being outside so your dog will definitely be tired after we go out. Animals and I connect really well. I have a very calm demeanor that dogs & cats get along with. I’m 34 years old and have been a dog walker/sitter for 15+ years. I pay close attention to detail so your fur baby is in save hands. I have two dogs myself so I know all about the love and care they want and need. Let me hangout with your puppers! I’m a dog mom and a freelance wedding/family photographer that works from home. I’m available most days to check-in on or walk your fur baby ☺️ I do both, I can care for your pup at my house or your house. My husband & I just moved to the Big Island earlier this year, we’re working on fencing in our yard. I’ve mainly stayed at peoples homes, but this is the first time I’ve had a yard in awhile so I wanna use it haha

“Big dog daycare can be a challenge to find. An all around excellent experience. Thank you so much.”

“This is the second time with Dianne watching our dog, and we can’t speak highly enough of her. She’s prompt, terrific with our pup and just a really nice person! We feel so lucky to have found her.”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was young. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and large breeds, plus those that need a little extra patience and attention, and I'm fully comfortable administering medications and handling special care routines. My partner and I work from home on a large, open acreage property on Hawaii's Big Island, which means your dog gets constant supervision, fresh air, and the freedom of a true home environment. Our dogs are currently off island, which means your dog gets our undivided attention and is always the star of the show. Your fur baby is family, and we'll treat them exactly that way — with aloha I work from home full-time, which means your dog is never left alone. My days are built around flexibility — morning walks, midday play, afternoon lounging, and evening wind-downs are all part of the routine. Your pup will have a consistent, attentive presence throughout the entire day, every day of their stay. I'm available for boarding 7 days a week, and because I'm always on the property, last-minute needs and extended stays are never a problem. Whether your trip is a quick weekend getaway or a longer vacation, your dog will have the same loving, supervised care from check-in to pickup. Your dog's safety is my top priority from the moment they arrive. I'm trained in pet first aid and know how to recognize and respond to health concerns quickly and calmly. Because I work from home and am present on the property all day, your dog is never unsupervised outdoors — every outside time is accompanied and attentive. Our large acreage property is open and natural, which means dogs enjoy real freedom to roam, sniff, and explore — always with me by their side. For pet parents who prefer a crate or have a dog that feels more secure in one, I'm happy to accommodate that with advance notice. I'll always follow your care instructions to the letter and communicate any concerns promptly. You'll receive regular photo updates throughout your dog's stay so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and in good hands.

“Becky is the best with our pups! She is our go-to sitter because she is so attentive to their needs and gives them a fun time! We love her so much 🩷 Mahalo!”

About: 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! 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. 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!

“Took great care of my new puppy! She was on meds and had a cone for her paw with stitches and he took great care of her and kept her paw clean and cared for. Will definitely go to him again and highly recommend”

“Daisy had a great day with Blair! We would definitely have her there again. We popped over for a meet and greet a couple days before and Blair showed us around. It’s a great, simple and secure play space for dogs. We received several pictures over the day which was really nice of her. We will be back :)”

“Athena provided updates and photos throughout the day and went the extra mile of taking Dawson out to the park with other doggie friends. Athena is reliable, trustworthy, and kind. I will definitely use her doggy day care and pet sitting services again. Mahalo, Athena!”

Leisha I.

“Alexander was caring and kind to our little pup, Koa. He was intentional and slow in introducing the dogs to each other. He has a large, fully fenced-in backyard, but for this first dog sitting, he brought Koa out on a leash in the yard and for a walk around the neighborhood. Alexander was accommodating and flexible with pick-up/drop-off times and was available with short notice. We will book with him again.”

About: As a graduate of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa with a major in Marine Biology and Animal Behavior, I bring a unique understanding of animal care to every pet I work with. My academic background has given me insight into animal needs, communication, and behavior, which helps me provide attentive and compassionate care. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet needing extra patience, I tailor my approach to suit their individual personalities. With my passion for animals and a professional, science-based perspective, you can trust your furry family members are in expert hands. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I have two large dogs and a cat, so my day revolves around their feeding, exercise, and playtime needs. Each morning, I ensure they get their walks, followed by meal times and any grooming sessions needed. I also make time for cuddles and attention to keep them happy and healthy. Weekly, I focus on additional activities like training sessions for the dogs and extra care for the cat. My pets’ well-being is my top priority, and their routine is an essential part of my day-to-day life. In my home, I provide a safe and spacious environment for pets, with a 6,000 sq ft backyard fully enclosed by a 6 ft high fence, ensuring they can play and explore freely. I have two friendly, well-trained dogs – a German Shepherd and a Labrador – who stay outdoors and do not enter the rooms. I also have a cat that lives in the rooms and has grown up alongside the dogs, so they all get along harmoniously. For clients, I maintain their pets’ routines and ensure they feel safe and comfortable in a welcoming, pet-friendly space.

About: Aloha, My name is Sarah. I am a pet lover full with overabundance of love with I would live to share with your Ohana. Big tall small & mighty 😍 I love them all. Open communication with praise is what its all about. I am very reliable & able to do most tasks. Walking feeding & most of the stuff in between would be of need.

Let me know if time place & tasks & we can let you know how many be of service to you. Thank you for your timely consideration.

“Hands down 5 star experience from beginning to end. The booking process: Quick to respond, great communication. Was able to accommodate my pup on (very) short notice. Meeting Rachel: We had a few minutes to talk before drop off and Rachel has incredible energy, is very knowledgable and asks great questions to ensure the best experience for your dog. Doggy Day Care: Our pup had the privilege of spending the entire day with Rachel and her day care pack. No exaggeration, it was the best day of her entire LIFE. She is just shy of four months and is a big breed (Cane Corso) that needs to get a lot of energy our for several hours per day. Let's just say she is still taking long naps and it is the day after! We will definitely be making her day care a part of our weekly socialization routine and also use her services whenever we need someone we trust to take care of our furry family member. Cannot recommend her enough!”

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.
