Hilo Holiday Pet Hotel

Hilo Holiday Pet Hotel provides dog boarding and cat lodging in Kurtistown, Hawaii, at an address on North Road on the Big Island. The business describes itself as a country retreat, and the layout follows that idea: open-air kennels and large outdoor play yards rather than a hallway of indoor runs. Staff stay on the property around the clock.

Services and amenities

• Dog lodging kennels and cat lodging in kitty condos
• Open-air kennels with comfortable bedding
• Large outdoor play yards for exercise
• Bathing for boarders and non-boarders, with nail trimming as an add-on
• Pet shuttle transportation, plus pickup and drop-off

What makes it different

Supervision runs 24 hours a day, so pets are not left on their own overnight. Staff administer medication and follow special diets, which matters for a senior dog or one on a prescription routine. The kennel is listed for both traditional and cage-free boarding, so owners can ask which setup suits their dog.

Bathing is offered to boarding guests and to pets who are not staying over, and nail trimming can be added. The pet shuttle covers transportation, which helps owners who cannot make the drive out to North Road themselves. Cat lodging in kitty condos means a household with both a dog and a cat can book one place.
