Just a few tasks we can teach a dog to do to help their person with a disability. To identify the tasks most beneficial and realistic for both pup and person, it is usually best to consult with doctors and physical therapists and assess the environment. Not every dog is suitable for public access work, but may still be able to help their human at home. 🐾🌺

Are you passionate about dogs and looking for a job that fills your heart? Happy Dogs Maui is on the hunt for a part-time team member who loves being around our furry friends as much as we do! 🐕💖

We believe in creating a joyful and nurturing environment for our dog visitors, offering boarding, daycare, and training services with a personal touch. That's why we're looking for someone special - someone who is reliable, quick to learn, enjoys a bit of spontaneity, and pays attention to the smallest details, ensuring our facility remains clean and our dogs happy.

No need to have tons of experience - just a genuine love for dogs and the eagerness to learn, as we provide on-the-job training. We are looking for someone with the ability to cover at least 3 of our 2.5 hour shifts per week.

If you're easy-going, have a knack for cleanliness, and dream of spending your days surrounded by wagging tails and happy barks, we'd love to meet you!

For more details and to apply, hop over to our website: https://happydogsmaui.com/job

On Friday evening we said good bye to our sweet Lily bug and our hearts are heavy as we are grieving her loss. 💔🐾 So many thoughts and memories yet so difficult to put words together in a public post when this process is such a personal one. We are grateful for the support we had in her last hours and that we could say good bye to our sweet girl in the comfort of our home. I am personally incredibly grateful for the divine timing and the chance to be with her all of Friday and give her lots of the thing that she loved the very most (well, next to food…) and that is snuggles. 🥰 Diagnosed with early stage kidney diseases 2.5 years ago and then with a non-healing hole in her cornea over a year ago, we did everything we could to try and keep her feeling great for as long as possible with the support of our amazing vet and dog nutritionist and her blood tests kept coming back great until just recently. Having adopted Lily when she was guesstimated to be between 5 and 7 we have no idea how old she actually made it to be, but we know we had an absolutely amazing almost 10 years with her and are grateful for that too. When Lily came into our lives she filled a hole in my (our) heart(s). We had been going through a couple of early miscarriages and two second trimester losses and it was a tough time for us. I can never thank Lily enough for all the love, snuggles and companionship she gave me back then. ❤️ As Lily’s sweet soul has left us, her love is still alive inside all of us. Sweet Lily bug, you will always be in our hearts ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Your mom, dad, human and dog brother ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Please say hi to Red dog from us and we hope you two will finally be reunited and having a blast together! 🙏🏼🙌🏼😘

Before we have another evaluation day tomorrow, it’s about time we post the evaluation pups from the last three weeks! Happy to say many of these boys and girls passed with flying colors 🤗🌺 also happy to say we survived another couple of weeks without our daddy (yep, another work trip) 😂 Thanks to our fabulous team for always being here for the pups 🐾🌺💗

While we did have some fun taking these pictures this afternoon, we are not having the funnest new years pawty over here… fireworks already started to go off pretty consistently before 7pm and 3 of our guest pups plus one of our pups are particularly nervous… the music is on the loudest setting, all windows are closed, medications and calming supplements have been given, pheromone diffuser is going and snuggles are being given. We truly feel with all the people and animals that are sound sensitive and get triggered by these big bangs… 😭 It’s going to be a long night and we are ready for 2023 to be over and the first morning of 2024 to shine bright (and quiet) for us. 🌺🍀 Happy new year everyone

Bringing you the evaluation pups from the last 3 evaluations with a big delay once again… it seems like the whole Happy Dogs Maui team has been sick more than once these past couple of months (including our little guy…) and Instagram just isn’t on top of my priority list in those times…. Taking care of everyone around here and uploading pictures for the dog parents every evening is! 🤗 So please admire these beautiful pups with me now that everyone over here is happy and healthy again and before we head into the new year. 🤗🐾🌺

We hope it’s not going to be a good bye but rather a see you later to this beautiful lady here! Our wonderful dog attendant left today to move to Australia and pursue a PhD in rainforest ecology. We (and all the pups!) will truly miss her smiling face and positive vibes but we wish her all the best and know she is going to succeed in anything she sets her mind to. 🌺🤗 We truly wish Skye the best of luck 🍀 We know it won’t be easy to fill Skye’s shoes, but if you know anyone with as warm a smile (even when picking up p**p!!!), as interested in learning about pups and their care (or even already has some experience working with pups) and as comfortable and happy in the company of doggos as this young lady was, then please have them reach out to us. There is a Job Opportunity page on our website with the job description, check it out at

We have been getting into the Christmas vibes over here 🎄🎅🏼 the Christmas lights are up, the Christmas tree is decorated, A bunch of the Christmas calendar doors have been opened by now and our Happy Dogs Maui Christmas dinner is in the books as well 🤗🎄🎄🎄🤗 it’s still kind of odd to me to think about this as the snowy Christmas season when it’s so hot out 🤣 but putting on a little Christmas music always seems to help 🧑‍🎄

Today I just want to give a huge shoutout to who single-handedly saved our daycare day today by running it on her own 🌺🤗🐾 With the man of the house away on a business trip and the toddler sick with croup I considered to call of this weeks day care not wanting to leave Rachel with the sole responsibility. Rachel, who has been running our daycare under supervision for a few months now however did a fantastic job and I really didn’t need to worry! I think it’s safe to say that all the pups and people were just as grateful to her as I was. 🌺🤗🐾 Thank you so much Rachel 🤗🌺🤣

We only had this one very sweet little girl show up for her evaluation this week and she made it super easy for us and herself and quite enjoyed her meet and greet with us and the other dogs. 🤗🌺🐾 We also had one no-show (which very rarely happens since we sent out multiple reminder emails) and a couple of pups that had to postpone till next week due to an emergency. We totally understand emergencies happen of course and that life happens, but if you do book with us and can’t make your appointment or simply don’t need our services anymore then please do let us know as soon as you can. Mahalo 🌺🐾 With this unexpected time window to my free disposal I managed to pick up Jack and Jill for and afternoon of play and fun. Please see more about Jack and Jill in the next post. 🌺🌺🌺

And last but not least… these pups came for evaluation too. 🌺🤗 Not all of the pups in those last 3 posts passed their evaluation here (though most did 🤗) but everyone truly has their own story to tell and their own unique personalities. We always try to find the best fit for everyone’s needs… if this is staying here or rather suggesting a pet sitter or other boarding situation. 🌺🌺🌺🐾🐾🤣

Here are the next 10 pups who got to come and check us out. 🤗🐾 Evaluation visits are crucial in our social home-style setting to ensure everyone’s safety and the peace and quiet around here. While the pups get to hang out here for 2 hours we then also give their humans a tour of our place when they pick their pup up and tell them how they did. It’s a a meet and greet for pups and people. 🌺🤗

Wrapping up fall break at Happy Dogs Maui with a few more pictures 🐾 Our furry guests have been living their best lives, from energetic playtimes to peaceful breaks, and those bonding moments where they just hang out together. Although the hustle of fall break is fading, our paw-packed adventures continue. The energy here is always pawsitive, no matter the season! 🐶✨

The Happy Place For Maui Dogs

Hello dog lover and parents and welcome to our doggie paradise in Waiehu/Hawaii on the slopes of the West Maui Mountains.

Our Happy Dogs Ohana consists of us (Sky and Kristin Solbach) and our 3 “host pups” Red, Lily and Harley (plus some chickens and turkeys).

With our kennel-less in-home dog boarding service we open the doors to our house to puppies from other family that don’t just want to leave their dog in a boarding kennel when going on a trip.

If you bring your pup to us for a stay, our home becomes his/her home. Our home becomes your dog’s home away from home and he lives with us just like our own pups do.
