Le'a returns - she loves the staff and her furfriends!
Tracy A.

Once a week Le'a enjoys a day filled with fun with the fabulous staff and her furry friends

Cooper loves KK9! He is a very high energy breed with pretty bad anxiety, and KK9 employees have been wonderful taking care of him. No other daycare on the island compares.

Our happy dog.
Rosanna T.

We have been bringing our dog at KK9 Adventure to prepare her on her extended stay while we have our vacation. We started with half a day care, then a full day stay, and an overnight stay to get her used with the place and the staff. It helped to ease her anxiety separation. I like their Gingr app as one-stop shop for all the services she needs. I look forward on getting her "woof report" and happy pictures with her furry friend. I'm glad there's an outdoor boarding care nearby for our pooch. The cost is reasonable. The staff are wonderful. They sure are expert dog handlers. It gives us a peace of mind knowing she's in good hands.

My fur baby.  All clean but tired from her stay!

Fantastic, attentive and caring staff. My dog ALWAYS has a great time there! I've used Kamaaina K9 mainly for extended overnight boarding when traveling and have never been disappointed! I totally recommend them and often do when others ask me where I take my fur baby! Additionally I use their bath options cuz my girl likes to get dirty while having fun fun fun!

Sores on his paws and has been bitten.

He was supposed to have a bath before picking him up and that did not happen at all. Needed to go to the vet because of sores on his body. Then I look at there so called dog report it is pictures taken the same day and they spaces them out the time of the stay. They accidentally sent me pictures they already sent me in a report and I looked at all the pictures and they were done all the same day. They send you a warning that basically says that if your dog is jacked up not our fault, so be warned of this place.

PUPDATE! We still love at kk9! Its such a great feeling knowing he is out playing and doing corgi things while Im at work. I pick him up and he sleeps for the rest of the day! They also have add on services from peanut butter filled kongs to baths! The staffs are so sweet! Thank you!!!

Her stitches :(

We brought olive here a few times and she loved it! She was very shy and anti-social at first, but as she kept coming back she got used to the place and the handlers and got more confident playing with the dogs. However she got into an accident which resulted in her getting stitches. The handlers said she must have ran into one of the metal reinforcements and got cut, and that it wasn't from a dog fight and they checked the cameras and didn't see anything like that. They said when they walked the property after, they saw something metal sticking out and they think that's what stabbed Olive. When we took her to the emergency vet, she said because of the bruising around the wound and the way it was angled, it looked to be from a dog.. so I'm not sure exactly what happened?? The handlers cleaned Olive's wound and separated her until we came to pick her up. I asked if we needed to pick her up asap if it was an emergency and they said it's up to us, they could hold her there if necessary. But looking at her wound (which i won't post) they should've said it was urgent and to take her to the vet asap (which we did on our own accord). They did stop her bleeding though. Olive was still in good spirits and didn't notice her wound. She was in stitches and a cone for 2 weeks, and i did receive text messages and phone calls of them checking on olive and apologizing for her getting hurt. They also offered to reimburse us for her vet appointment which was really nice and helped a lot. We're really sad because this was olives favorite place to go, and she LOVED her handlers. It was an accident but just as a precaution she won't be going back. I do appreciate how kind and caring they were to her and that they did daily woof reports and pictures at no extra cost.

Teddy is our rescued terrier and Boris is our Rottweiler. We can't bring ourselves to take them elsewhere when we're out of town- the spacious property here in Kunia is unmatched. KK9 takes the time to report on behavioral issues and health changes. Enjoy your time away in peace knowing that your four legged family are in excellent hands!

Miguel G.

What a wonderful place to give me peace of mind when I leave my two fur babies here. The staff is very friendly and loving of both Blue and Sonic. These two start jumping with joy whenever I ask "Who wants to go to the farm?" Mahalo KK9 for looking after our babies and sending us those awesome update reports with pictures of their day activities... We would not think of leaving these two anywhere else!

Happy and got to jump in the water for playtime
Alyssa M.

The place is really spacious, and clean. Lots of areas for your dog to explore and do. Our dog loves to come here, he doesnt want to leave when we pick him up after being there all day. Once he is in the car though, he falls asleep fast. I love the woof reports that are sent via email, along with the pics of the day. I appreciate the easy pay option thats sent as a link to pay before pickup. Scheduling is easy to do online for future dog boarding or daycare visits. Staff are really friendly and i haven't had a problem with any communication. Also, i really like that they put sunscreen on the dogs if need. Trust leaving your dog here its awesome.

K9 adventures always puts Kekoa to sleep on the ride home. This is his favorite spot to exert all that energy!

Doesn't he look so happy?!

I took my time to wait and write this review because I wanted to compare this place with another doggy daycare I tried in town. Kamaaina K9 rocks!! I have to say that I was a bit skeptical because it's outdoors and it was my first time ever leaving my baby at a daycare. I wanted him to be socialized, though, and have fun experiences so I chose this place after our friends recommended them. First off, this place is SO much better than an indoor doggy daycare! Dogs love to be outside and why not provide them with wonderful fresh air and plenty of places to run around while they mingle at this park? The indoor facility that we tried smelled so bad of chemicals and the loud barking just echos and you get this immense chaotic feeling as soon as you walk through the doors. Not this place... it's refreshing, dogs are sunbathing in the sun and overall much happier. I was so sad when I watched my dog at the other indoor daycare facility through their webcam. There were no windows, tight space and all the dogs just looked so uncomfortable. My dog loves this place and I love how we get the woof report with excellent photos and feedback on how it's going. The workers here are so caring and I found that they are just full of energy and understanding compared to the other doggy daycares. Here's a rundown of my pros to this place: 1. It's outdoors! Dogs love being outside and not cooped up in some dingy building that reeks of chemicals and urine! 2. Lots of space for my dog to run around! 3. Safe- because it's not such tight quarters, dogs are more relaxed and my dog never came back with any injuries! 4. Online booking and ease of website: love this feature! And I could pay directly from my phone quickly. You also upload your vaccine info. Super convenient and organized! 5. Vaccine and fecal testing requirement: lots of other daycare facilities don't require a clear fecal testing but this place does. I think that's very important because so many diseases could be passed around through feces. I know, I used to work for an animal shelter! 6. Availability- I love that they're available for doggy daycare on the weekends. I called a different facility one time and they said they're only open Monday, Wednesday and Friday. That is so silly, I need time on the weekends! 7. Woof report- I love that they do this! It's so cute and I look forward to the report with the most adorable professional photos of your dog! You can tell they really care about your dogs. 8. Workers- I love picking my dog up and the girl who hands him over to me is just so energetic and always has great things to say about him. My experience at a different daycare, they were griping how they had to put my dog on timeout. I have only a few tips if you do decide to bring your dog in. It's outdoors so I put a bit of sunblock near my dogs nose because it was a little red last time. No big deal. I wish they had web cams so I could see my baby having a blast! It is up a dirt road so be prepared if you take your dog there. It's a bit bumpy... also, wish they had bigger signs leading up to the place because it was a little confusing to find the place. Just look for the small red signs if you so go. Overall, great experience for my baby. I feel comfortable taking him there to meet new friends and I will always bring him here than others doggy daycares.

Trey T.

This place is definitely an off-roaring trek to get to... but entirely worth it! We've been so pleased with the staff and the way they do business - they for sure get A++++ for CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE. It really is something, when they keep their website up-to-date on their holiday hours and even allow you to email/update records instead of printing it. The top outstanding features: Online Booking, Apple Pay, and Directional signs do you can't get lost finding the place. Pros: -Reasonable flat rate for all-day daycare! -Cage-free and I LOVE that they let my pupper play with the big dogs... I fee that she'll be better socialized that way rather than only playing with small dogs. -They give the CUTEST report card with some PRO-Level photos! Cons: -Okay, this place is literally up/down dirt roads in the mountains up Kunia... your car WILL get dirty and it WILL be bumpy. -The prices for the other services are meh... I'm sorry, $15 for nail trimming?? It should be like no more than $8 + the cost of daycare.. but that's just me.

See all

I have a female German Sheppard, about 8 months? She barks and growls at other dogs and will lunge. I've got her under control when I walk her to not do it with the off command. I really want to socialize her, and give her more to do? Can you help?

Are owners allowed to stay with their pets? I would like to bring my boy to play for his birthday!

She asked me what kind of cut I wanted and I let her know I wanted a mohawk style cut and she said she didn't understand what I wanted, I then tried to show her using my dogs body and she was still confused and started getting an attitude. She told me to pick a blade size before she could proceed and I tried telling her that I wanted to first show her what I meant and she ignored it and walked away and turned off the music and then started to walk back. My mom had been with me and told me I should leave and not allow her to cut my dog. She must've overheard my mom say this because her attitude immediately shifted and she became a little bubbly and kinder. I let her know I didn't want the mohawk anymore because it seemed too difficult to communicate with her what I wanted and I would just do a trim all over and to round his face out. She then let me know typically only poodles do that cut and asked if I was sure I wanted that cut (completely unnecessary comment). I let her know he has been getting groomed and that is his typical cut when we don't do something fun/funky. I only stayed because my dog was in need of a haircut and I was already there. I really hoped the haircut would come out great since it was the same cut on his entire body and then just face shaping and she made it a point to let me know she's been a stylist for 30 years. I had to fix up the parts that were extremely uneven and I fixed behind his ears which were not groomed in the same places. She also let me know when I picked him up how much of a good boy he was for her so I'm even more confused by the uneven cutting. I will definitely not be returning and I am so disappointed by her service because the guy (Chris) who booked my appointment was so friendly and helpful.

My chow chows were neglected during the last month of my pregnancy and three months after the birth…read moreof my baby girl. Their fur got so matted I knew I needed professional help. I called around to get them groomed. Two places flat out refused to groom them because they are chows. When I contacted Maikai via yelp, Lita was agreeable to get them groomed and scheduled my appointment. The appointment day and time came and no groomer showed up. I called Lita who told me she'd find out what happened. She called me back within half hour and let me know the groomer got bitten at the previous appointment and wasn't able to make it. She offered to reschedule the appointment and we did. I wasn't there for the rescheduled appointment and was worried my dogs would be temperamental since they never been groomed by an outsider, but it was my husband who got temperamental since he didn't understand what needed to be done. My mom was there to alleviate concerns and told me the groomer did the best she could. Because they were matted, the only option was a shave. My mom said the groomer took her time and really cared about her work. After the grooming was done, I received a call from Lita who discussed with me how the grooming went. I appreciate the call since I couldn't be there and I'm the primary caregiver to my boys. I give them five stars because 1. They took my boys in when other places wouldn't, 2. My mom said the groomer took care in grooming them, 3. Lita was professional in communication, 4. They're chows chows, not the easiest breed to groom because of fur and temperament, 5. They came to the house which made it easier to handle my boys. I hope to use them again in the future, but with my boys fur in better shape the next time around.

What can ii say? Maika'i mobile grooming is AMAZING!!! I messaged Lalita (owner) inquiring about…read moreservices and she responded instantly thru YELP. She immediately was able to set an appointment to accommodate my schedule (after work @530). My Lilo has been going to PetSmart to get groomed but the last couple times it wasnt a successful visit :(. Her nails were getting long n she gets very excited around other dogs, so I turned to YELP as usual n found Maika'i Pet Sitting n Mobile Grooming. Lalita and April came promptly at 530 if not a couple minutes early. They dont have a mobile truck so they do use your yard to do their services, but thats not a problem because it made Lilo feel even more comfortable at home. As Lalita and April began Lilo immediately took to both of them n they were able to get to work. She got a basic service of a bathe, nail clipping, and ear cleaning. Lilo enjoyed every minute of it. They also mentioned that not only do they have house sitting, they do drop in services if ur on vacation as well:). You best believe I will be calling them again for Lilo's SPA treatment as ii called it:))) Give them a try you wont be disappointed:))
