Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Yuki boarded at Mari’s house and she had a great time. She loves running in the background. Thank you so much for taking good care of Yuki.

Keera was great with Archer and went at his pace! I got a ton of updates and Keera was super responsive and gave great updates! Keera was flexible when I was coming home sooner than expected.

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

Ulu La'au Waimea Nature Park

Ulu La'au, or Garden of  Trees, is a project of the Waimea Outdoor Circle and is extremely popular with the Waimea area dogs and their owners. The park is a 10-acre plot of land leased by the Waimea Outdoor Circle for environmental research, restoration, and education. The park is open to the public for dog walking, picnics, native plant identification, and nature enjoyment. The park is well-maintained and planted with native species as part of the efforts to restore the land. There is even access to a 1.05-mile shady stream trail for you and your canine companion to explore. All dogs should be leashed and cleaned up after while enjoying the park!

Kawaihawae Harbor Beach Landing Shipping Docks

Does your doggo enjoy romping through the waves? Kawaihawae Harbor Beach Landing is one of the best places to get your pal some sand time. Keep in mind leash laws are still in place on the beach- your dog may only be off-leash while in the water. There are two great areas for dogs at this destination. The first is a long, wide stretch of beach with a gradual walk-in, perfect for your pal. The water here is protected by a breakwall and is quite calm. The other area is past the beach and along the breakwall, a grassy area with shade trees, picnic tables, and a two-head rain shower system. Here, there is a staircase leading to the water that dogs and their humans often utilize. Come take a tail-waggin' good dip in the sea!

Pu'u Hinai Cinder Cone Trail

This nature trail just a short distance outside of Waimea is a favorite among island dog owners. The trail features plenty of sniffing, exploring, and bounding opportunities for your pup! Choose your own section to roam, as this lengthy trail continues for several miles. Enjoy unique views of the Waikaloa cinder cone, a steep, conical hill built from lava once ejected from a volcanic vent. This interesting geographical feature of the area, with its hidden caldera and mysterious cinder spot, is quite awe-inspiring. Locals often exercise their dogs on this trail. Be sure to clean up after your pet!
