"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.

Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!

. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.

Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!

Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.

Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Chelsey
Windy & Dustin are some of my top go-tos! They are wonderful sitters who I can trust to take care of my cats and goats and love them like their own! They are so respectful of my house and are always flexible with me when plans change last minute.
Inma
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Clare
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Nancy
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.

She does a greatb job Very good with animsls
I am so grateful to have found Su Lin Kennels! I was able to relax a bit knowing my cat was in good hands. They went above and beyond for a fair price. The service that they offer is priceless so they could have charged more. There are not enough stars! Good people! G and I thank you.
This is the only grooming place where the staff is consistent and friendly. My dog started biting other groomers (never happened before), so I found Su Lin Kennels. My dog has never attempted to even bite again! This is huge. I recommend to all! Best groomers on the island!!!!!!
You can depend on Su Lin kennels staff to take great care of all your pets! I highly recommend their services. Zeisja cared for and fed our cat, chickens & fish so we could enjoy our holiday. We are grateful.
Took my two dogs to trim their nails. Super fast and efficient. Friendly staff. I will definitely be back.
Very friendly and nice people. They do a great job, and my dogs love going here!

My long hair chihuahua loves Shear Magic! She gets groomed there and they do a fabulous job. She has also been boarded there in the small dog area. The staff are so nice. They called because I forgot to get her Shiba Inu stuffed animal when I picked her up. They had it all clean and ready for me. My pup does a happy bark anytime we drive by the facility.
The people and the quality of care with which they treat my whole family is amazing. We immediately feel like part of the community when our puppy goes in for his deluxe spa treatment and hair cut. He feels luxurious after each visit. We’re extremely loyal to Shear Magic because our puppy knows that this is his extended family that he can trust 🐶🐾🐶🤙🤙🤙
Miska loved her time here. She is so soft. Thank you for welcoming us from Alaska!
Thank you for grooming Maxi today. I have been to many other groomers on this island and you have been the most professional and kind to Maxi. I appreciate you all at Shear Magic. The 2.5 hour drive to bring Maxi to you is well worth it. Mahalo for all you did for him today.
Great work with my dog Cinderella. Holding pets for longer than 3 hrs seemed too long. She has sensiti e skin, and they helped her with good care.
...staff was on time, accomodating for nail trim services on two pets, cat and dog -- very personable and made it happen!!! especially with a challenging, super sacred, muscular strong mix terrier having had a vaccination with the Petco Hilo pet clinic folks just 3 days earlier! 🐕🦺🐈⬛🫶🏽💕 We're happy campers now! Much appreciation.
They were so wonderful with our three days. Got them flea baths and while they were there, they also cut their nails. None of them were traumatized. They came back happy. I definitely would use them again and, if needed, would take them to board there. I highly recommend them.
It was great, friendly staff and Hoku did well overall.
I've never taken my dogs to a groomer, I've always done it myself, I'm very particular. But,due to circumstances I haven't been able to for several weeks, they were dirty & overgrown, toenails too longthe works. I'm so glad I chose Sheer Magic, they were super sweet to my dogs & did a fabulous job. I will be taking them back. I wish I could give more than 5 stars
UPDATED: Finally got in touch with them about application. My partner had to call with his phone because I guess my phone wasn't working. However, the review was solely about the communication and not the facility itself and the people working because definitely can email should the phone not be available. Hopefully can get this solved and looking forward to being a client in the future. I have submitted an application to board my dogs almost a week ago but no one ever got back to me. I called regarding application and was told to send vaccination paperwork which I did. I called again to confirm that it was received and if someone would get back to me. I shouldn't have to keep calling and checking on application. Communication is horrible. Definitely should change how that's handled. So people can move on and look for other accomidations.

I only spoke to the owner on the phone, but she was SO helpful and knowledgeable. After taking the time to talk to me about what she offers, she asked me about my dog and my situation. It turns out there is a dog daycare that is much closer to my job, and since I'm already commuting, she thought it might make more sense for me. How awesome is that? I wish her kennels made sense for me because I would have dropped my Lucy off there with no hesitations or worry, and will definitely recommend Hilo Kennels to anyone. I was just so impressed with her professionalism and how much she truly cares for the animals. Your dog will be home if you take it here, it's easy to see why they're successful.
It is so awesome to have a safe place for our 3 Chihuahuas to stay while we travel. David & Jenipher love our dogs almost as much as we do. Highly recommend Hilo Kennels!
We have had remarkable RESPONSIVE returning our call also answer my call when i check up on nibbles. RELIABLE with Hilo Kennel for our weekend from waikoloa. Nibbles would stay couple days at a time & very well taken cared of.

A happy dog, a happy mom. Real nice place, and clean. People are real nice. My Tilda gets all that energy out of her.
This place is amazing. My dog doesn’t even look back any longer after I drop him off. He knows that he is in for a good day of fun.
David and Jen are great people to watch your dog.
