My poodle mix rescue needed a full groom and I didn't have time to trek into Wailuku to my usual…read moregroomer so I called Catherine to see if she could fit him into her schedule. Easy to text and arrange. Unfortunately due to an unexpected family emergency I had to cancel and she was understanding of the situation. So, I rescheduled a few weeks later and again she was very happy to try another date and time and give me a 2nd chance. Catherine is a mobile groomer, she has a setup on the back of her truck with a grooming table, etc. She bathed our boy in our kitchen sink (we have a huge one specially for washing our dogs!) and took him out to her truck to do the fluff n scissoring. I was a bit uncertain about him being in our driveway on a busy street as he is a bolter, especially without a collar on, but Catherine kept him safe the whole time. I asked that his face was kept to a rounded puppy look with short ears and she did a really nice job. I also requested she shave his paws, the first time we have tried this, since sand and plant matter are always stuck to his fur and he chews away at his paws after every walk. He looked odd to begin with having never had poodle paws, but it is beginning to grow on me and I think it is going to make a huge difference to him. He looks like he has had a pawdicure....hahahaha. His nails are nicely trimmed and the fur perfectly shaved around each toe pad. A great job on a dog who doesn't like his feet touched! Catherine was kind and careful with my soul puppy, and he was happy to be with her, which isn't always the case with groomers in his past. If you are looking for a groomer for a dog who doesn't like the car, or going to a grooming salon, is older, younger or you are house bound this is the groomer for you. The groom was $75 which is the going rate on the island for salon groomers. I had actually expected the groom to be more expensive so I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you Catherine, Finn looks fantastic :)

We had a wonderful experience with Sit Means Sit Hawaii and are so grateful for the work they did…read morewith our dog, Jimbo. He's a young, high-energy working breed, and the team really met him where he was. When he came home, the difference was clear--he's more focused, responsive, and regulated, while still being his happy, playful self. Just as valuable has been the support for us as owners. The follow-up guidance has helped us carry everything into our daily routine, and it truly feels like an ongoing partnership. We also really appreciate the calm, well-run environment they've created at the ranch and the genuine care they show for each dog. Mahalo to Scott and the team--we highly recommend Sit Means Sit Hawaii!

This is the review every pet lover dreads....so tearfully here it is. Our senior Good Boi (2…read moremonths off 16yrs old) had an infection which was turning into sepsis and there was nothing we could do, apart from make sure he passed peacefully and not in the painful throws of sepsis. He wouldn't survive surgery as he was already taking meds for heart and kidney failure, and had doggy dementia and was blind. It is a heart wrenching decision but our vet Dr McCurdy (Makawao Vet Clinic) always said "a dog's last day doesn't have to be the worst day" and with that in mind I called Kehau and arranged a day for Dr Lacey Palomino to come over and help us say goodbye to our good boi at home. Kehau organised everything with me by text because....well....I couldn't speak I was weeping so much. Kehau was such a help and full of empathy, she organised everything and covered cremation and ashes so we can spread our boi's ashes on his favourite walks. Kehau and Lacey arrived on time, explained the process (which we knew as we have had dogs all our lives and unfortunately they don't live as long as we want), administered a sedative and gave us 10 mins to give our boi lots of love on our knees on the sofa, then when he was sedated they administered the final drugs in the vein via an IV, which our good boi knew nothing about. Of course we howled through the process...this was my Soul Dog, my dog of a lifetime and it hurt. However Lacey and Kehau somehow made it slightly bearable, were full of empathy and understanding and made sure we knew exactly what was happening. Lacey checked our Boi had passed and told us he was gone so we knew it was over. They gave us time alone to introduce our other dog to our Soul Boi when he had passed, so he understood he had passed. Then we carried our Boi out to Kehau's car in a blanket for his last ride. Lacey sent us a bill via Square on our phone so we didn't have to go through any distraction during the process which we appreciated. It was easy to pay online, a godsend at such a time. It is hard to say goodbye to your faithful friend, Lacey and Kehau will help you send them on their way peacefully, after enjoying their last good day with steak, ice cream and a walk at the beach and lots of cuddles and love.

She loves watching shows about animal rescues, so I knew had to try to make a visit here happen. I emailed in advance and scheduled a tour. The story of how EMAR started is very touching. When we arrived we were greeted by many ducks and chickens, ducklings and chicks. The volunteers were all super friendly and showed us around. EMAR clearly feels a void on the island and takes in almost any animal. It is volunteer run. We saw cats, a dog, pigs, goats, sheep, deer, Macaws, carrier pigeons, and more birds. Not to mention the ducks, geese and chickens. There is an opinionated goose named Mike Tyson that could easily have his own stand up act. The child loved the visit as did the adults. We will definitely be adding it to our donation rotation.
