It is clean and pets well taken care of. Only concern is / was / at that time ( maybe changed now) all the cats are held together in one large room but it has wonderful cat furniture. Only my two cats were there, but for my spoiled paranoid older cat, it was a challenge. I would have no problem returning, if not for the older cat. The other two seemed to have a great time. The owner is also very nice, and finally is very conveniently located for where I live.

We couldn't ask for better care -- and fun -- for our 1-year-old puppy/dog Kiki. She's stayed at…read morePampered Pooch twice. The first time, she'd never stayed anywhere with anyone else. We struck out at various other pet boarding facilities -- they were booked, had big demands like our dog stay with them for the day before they could stay overnight, which I kind of get -- but it was too hard for us to do. I'm REALLY glad we held out for Pampered Pooch. Kiki warmed up instantly to Eric -- she ALWAYS had growled at strangers, except for the vet herself. Eric kept us posted on how she was doing. We were so grateful to have PP for our following, longer trip. We felt comfortable knowing she was being well cared for. When my husband picked her up, she'd been playing constantly with a couple of other dogs her size. Very pleased and not trusting anyone else with our dog. The grounds are spacious and well cared for, too.

Dr. Castro is seriously the best veterinarian I've ever had for my pets. He is kind, gentle,…read morethorough, and really good at his job. He and his wife Anne run the business in a way that allows them to keep costs down, so not only are they providing excellent service, their costs are very reasonable. I used to take my two mini poodles to another vet (one that is very highly reviewed here!), and their service was so poor that I switched - I'm so glad I did! When Scooby bit a cane toad in the middle of the night, Dr. Castro met me at his office and stayed for hours to administer medicine and monitor Scooby's recovery. When Sam fell off the back stairs, Dr. Castro managed to calm me down AND make sure Sam had no serious injuries - they weren't even open when it happened, but they didn't hesitate to have me bring Sam in. Seriously - the office is humble and may not look like much, but Dr. Castro knows what he is doing, AND cares about animals, AND is very affordable. Best vet ever!

I am so grateful to my friend who referred us to Dr Castro. I have never had a vet I felt so comfortable with. He takes the time to answer all my questions and it's clear that he truly loves caring for animals. He is gentle and calming. He and his wife Anne are a great team, and I truly appreciate them and the great care they give my girls! I love my dogs and want them to have the best care possible. Mahalo Dr Castro!

Living within a very short drive of the Lancaster County area of Pennsylvania, I've seen more than…read moremy fair share of cows but never like this and never in this format. The setup here is very simple. If you're staying in Hilo, or are in the Hilo area, this is a very short drive up route 19. If you're heading north like we were, you make a hard switchback right turn on to Kopilimal Road and then the first left which takes you down a short driveway that feels wrong, but just follow the signs because it is right. There is a small makeshift parking area that I would highly recommend backing into whatever area you choose, and a port-o-pooper in the parking area. Come under the first tent and pay with cash or I believe they have a QR code to scan to make an electronic payment of your $20p/p "donation". After that you get a few basic instructions (I mean you're interacting with cows, it's not really that involved) and then you go through the fence and into the first area. A member of staff is there and they will give you the basics and from there it's mostly pet away, watch your feet if one gets up so that you don't get stepped on and watch that they don't get up and unload on or near you (which if they do drop a deuce - said member of staff will clean it up NASCAR pit crew quick - it's not even done steaming and it's been dealt with). Between the two areas, there were about 15-20 cows there and after a while you can see that all of them have their own personalities, some far more pronounced than others. The sanctuary is open daily from 11-2 and once you are in, you can stay for as short or as long as you want during that time. They do sell a few merch items on site, but if you go to their website, there is a good bit more. www.krishnacowsanctuary.com/collections/all Is this a must do? I don't know. I wouldn't say that exactly but it's certainly interesting and unique and if you're in the area when they are open, why the hell not?

HOLY COW. One of…read morethe highlights of our Kona-to-Hilo roadtrip was cow cuddling. My daughter, her boyfriend, and I had this on our list of places to check out. I'm glad we made time for this...who knew cows are basically big puppies? There was one particular cow, Tulsi, who reminded me of my beloved cocker spaniel who passed four years ago. He loved hard scritchy-scratchies...so does Tulsi. Tulsi just might be my cocker spaniel reincarnate. Cuddling takes place under a covered area, wood shavings keep the grounds pretty much mud-free. Wish they sold merch!
