It helped getting daily pictures and updates on him while I was gone (including one of Cooper sleeping on the bed!), and upon returning, he seemed to be doing great! Tara gave Cooper a bath before I picked him up - this alone was worth the price I paid for boarding him! For a 25 pound dog, he's kinda like Cujo in the bathtub! I'm not sure if I should be incredibly grateful or apologetic to Tara for that, but Cooper came home happy, healthy, clean and so very soft! Great for all the snuggles once we got home!

I have known Kellie for several years and we had the honor of working together as teachers. She has a background as a Special Education teacher and is incredibly compassionate and innovative. She is also a true animal lover. She doesn't just walk my (very difficult to walk) senior dog, but takes him on mini adventures to the coffee shop and sends lots of photos and updates. I have used several services in the past, but no one has given the peace of mind Kellie does. I love the time and care she puts into each visit. When she told me she was starting a pet sitting business, it was a relief as there really is a void of quality pet sitters in Honolulu. Mahalo nui, Kellie! Aloha, Kate and Spunky

Thanks Kellie for being the best aunty to our fur babies

We just had a short trip outerisland, but couldn't bring our fir babies. Usually the parents or a friend can watch out pups, but not this time around. We called around and found it very challenging, almost like sending a toddler to daycare for the first time, they need vet records and a company to vouch that your pup isn't crazy and dangerous to others. We called these folks and they were very friendly and made it as easier to request vet records and willing to do trial run overnight to see how our dogs would do. We drove down and it's a little confusing to find, but basically aim for Salz Lock and Safe, pull into their parking and continue to the chain link fence and you'll see it mountain side. We met the couple that takes care of the fur babies. They were very welcoming and most importantly our dogs sixth sense accepted them right away. Their tails kept wagging, which made us feel better. Our dogs actually shake when we go to the vet and tail down, between the legs. We provided food for the morning, leashes and harness and that's it. They recommended not bring the beds because other dogs might mark them, since it's not a kennel environment. They can walk freely in the rooms and act like they do at home. We left them overnight and we're ready for a phone call, but no complaints came. Then in the morning we went to pick them up. On arrival the couple were still their smiling with our pups. Our dogs seemed happy with their tails wagging. They reported back to us how the dogs did and everything went well. I would recommend Barks and Purrs, because they genuinely seem to care for our dogs. Our dogs were happy and we felt safe to have them watched there.

Can't ask for a better location, just drop off your baby, and you can access the highway nearby heading either east or west. Richard is fantastic, very knowledgeable and he has such a way with animals. My little pupster gets super excited when we get there and now when I say "doggie daycare" he starts running around in circles and heads to the car, ready to go. He always looks forward to going to visit Richard and his furry friends. He comes home absolutely wore out. He wolfs down his dinner and then sprawls out on the floor to sleep. Richard is flexible with scheduling and very responsive and communicative. They also offer bathing services on site which you can avail yourself to while your fur baby stays in their care. I send my pup 2 days a week so that he gets much needed socialization and I get peace of mind knowing he's in capable hands.

Dr. Putnam is truly one of a kind. She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and took her time walking us through every step of the evaluation. Not once did I feel pressured into extra services or upsells... just honest, thoughtful care. She was also so patient and sweet with my child, answering their curious questions without missing a beat. That kind of grace is rare. The entire staff was amazing, and a special shoutout goes to the office manager, Sierra, who went above and beyond to accommodate our scheduling needs. You can really tell the whole team operates with compassion and professionalism. We left feeling informed, supported and genuinely cared for. Highly recommend Alii Animal Hospital if you want your pets (and your family) treated like ohana.

From the very beginning, Stephanie at Loving Paws Dog Boarding was incredibly well-organized and provided detailed instructions for everything needed--nothing was overlooked. During our initial visit, K.O. immediately took to her, which gave us instant peace of mind. Stephanie has such a warm and calm presence, and it's clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She also sent us photo updates throughout K.O.'s stay. In the first photos, he looked a little shy (totally expected for a young pup), but by the end, he was happy, relaxed, and playing with his new furry friends. It was such a relief and joy to see him so comfortable and having fun! We're beyond grateful for the care and attention Stephanie gave to our pup. We'll definitely be bringing K.O. back for future stays. If you're looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and truly loving dog boarding experience--Loving Paws Dog Boarding is it!
