A comfortable house set in farmland in the Brittany countryside, close to a small village and about 30 minutes' drive to the nearest beaches and coves. The cats were lovely company: Darcy and Bingley are 2 lovable and affectionate males; Moby and Dik-dik are shyer females, but with some patience you can win their trust. They all love their food! The cat-feeding duties were quite straightforward and they 'do their business' mainly outside. There is an occasional mouse-part to clear up! but that's the countryside. Ian showed me how to load the wood-burning boiler each day, before departure, and Judith showed me around the kitchen. They were both very helpful and welcoming, and made me a nice meal on my first evening. There are gites on the premises but they were empty while I was there as it was November. Despite autumnal weather (sometimes stormy) I really enjoyed this sit for its peaceful location and the characterful cats.
Devo is genuinely the sweetest lil doggie ever and I am going to miss him! He has been such a pleasure to sit and I will miss taking him to the park and watching him zoom around. I enjoyed him being my little shadow and he loves attention and treats!! He is lovely at making friends with other doggies at the park, I would be proud to have him. Ian is super chill and communication has been easy and great, keeping updated daily. He was on hand with any questions I had. The flat is fun and vibrant and full of lots of arty things, and I enjoyed the sonos sound system thoroughly haha. I would happily recommend as a place to pet sit and explore the area :)

Amy and Zeisja are the absolutely best! They are professional, friendly and super helpful. Callie absolutely loves them both and I appreciate them so much! I cannot recommend them enough. Simply the best!
Amy and her staff are so amazing. From little fur babies to BIG ones they do it all. Amy does her magic with my spoiled Shitsu. She looks so pretty when I pick her up. Thank you 😊 …
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!
I highly recommend su lin kennels! They are friendly and professional I am so grateful that they are here in Hilo to take care of my dogs 🐕 …
My two huskies are a job and a half. Couldn't ask for better care or better grooming.
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!

My dog has been having a wonderful time at Day Camp twice a week. The owners are so kind, caring and knowledgeable.
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.
