Your weird reviews make me feel obligated to leave a legit review from an actual customer. We found Barkhaus last year and use them as often as we can. We were thrilled when one of our neighbor dogs started attending Barkhaus outings too, now the neighbor doggies can go on field trips together! Natalie and Andres go out in the mornings (M-F) and pick up all the dogs. They then meet up for cool dog friendly hikes and the raddest photo seshes. Im serious, the photos you see on IG of your dog having a blast will make your day! I have friends who are not dog owners, who follow Barkhaus because their social media is totally awesome and completely heart warming. Seeing my dog chilling with all the homies brings me pure joy, and I know it makes his day. His favorite thing in the WORLD is hearing Natalie pull up. Natalie shames the dog whisperer, okay. She is pure canine magic. It's wonderful to watch. A quick google search will let you know, these folks are both highly educated and well versed in the canine world and Honolulu is lucky to have them.

My dog feels loved when he's with them and he looks forward to the next visit! I also know he will get plenty of time outside, as both Natalie and Andres are the most outdoor-loving people I know.

Dogwalker Etc. has been an absolute lifesaver for our family. They provide excellent, reliable, and…read moretruly professional dog-sitting services. We have a large female German Shepherd (who has a very small circle of trust) and a small Pomeranian, and they are wonderful with both--patient, attentive, and clearly experienced with different personalities and needs. They always show up exactly when they say they will, which gives us total peace of mind. After every visit, they send photos and updates, and it's obvious they spend quality time playing with our dogs and making sure they are comfortable, cared for, and happy. It's not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, especially when anxiety is involved, but Dogwalker Etc. consistently goes above and beyond. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate pet care.

I feel really bad that I forgot I had written this review years ago. Because of a series of…read moreproblems with dog sitting while I was on extended trips, I called this business again a few years ago. The woman who answered was named Bonnie, and this time, she said yes to my Belgian Malinois. She even encouraged me to tour the kennel. I did, and was I impressed! The kennels were huge and clean! My hubby and I take trips that are at least 3-4 weeks long. Since the pandemic ended, we have been on 3 long trips and a few shorter trips. I trust Bonnie and her husband completely. They took outstanding care of my Belgian Malinois, including helping her celebrate her 13th birthday. (See pic) If you have an older dog or a bigger dog, I recommend this kennel without reservation!

It didn't look like they did anything at all. His whiskers were look like they cut any hair.

After a lot of research I found Pampered Pets recommended from someone and I thought I would look…read moreinto it. The price is very reasonable and the pets are allowed to roam all day which I like so that they are not cooped up in kennels for part of the day. My dog is a rescue dog, and he is very shy and I had not had him long when I needed to board him, and I found Deirdre at pampered pets and I cannot say enough good things about her. She is professional, courteous and treats your pets as if they were her own. She goes above and beyond. She kept me updated while I was away with pictures and how he was doing. I cannot recommend pampered pets enough. The office contact is quick and easy, and the price is so reasonable for what you get compared to doggy daycare places on the island. The pets at pampered pets will be in small groups and get the love and care that they deserve. Any time I go out of town, I will use pampered pets/ Deirdre.

Each time we came back from vacation in the past, he was depressed and would hide for 1-2 weeks. When we picked up our baby from Deirdre - he was so cheerful and happy! He had been housed with a cockatiel for company the entire time. He wasn't sad or depressed at all - there was no adjustment period. He seemed eager to tell us all about his new friend and all his good experiences. It was obvious they took excellent care of him and made him feel taken care of and safe. They sent us photo updates on him periodically. We will most definitely be bringing him back to pampered pets each time we go on vacation from now on!

THE BEST KEPT SECRET DAYCARE AND BOARDING FOR SMALL DOGS!!!…read more I have to admit, I've been selfishly gatekeeping this place because it is hands down, THE BEST daycare and boarding on the island and I didn't want my baby's spot to be taken up...sorry Aunty Carly! I know a lot of my fellow VIPaws pet parents are also keeping this place on the hush for the same reason. However, since I'm moving soon, I had to do right by its wonderful owner, Carly, and give her the recognition she deserves. I've tried almost every daycare and boarding here, as my fur baby is our child and we want the very best for him. It was good to see what each place had to offer but let me tell you, you will not find another place that comes close to VIPaws. This is "the Punahou" of daycares. They specialize in only taking small dogs 25 lbs and under, which is perfect since our baby is fearful of larger dogs. The sign up process is organized and thorough, taking everything into account. We could tell she was on it and well prepared to care for him whenever we were away. This really put my mind at ease. All her policies/pricing are laid out and upfront so there's no surprises. If you don't read, that's on you. Their reservation based setup makes it easy to drop off/pick up. I've been to places without this and had to wait a while to pick up my dog since there was no reserved time. At VIPaws, I book a set time to drop off/pick up my pup so I can be on my way. I appreciate that! Carly does a tour of the setup on the first day and we were impressed by how clean and secure her home was. Multiple enclosures to ensure your dog's safety, lots of room to run and play, and comfy and clean with no smells at all. The energy there felt so calm and positive. All the pups looked so cute and happy! We love that they're very selective with the dogs they agree to take in, not letting any of the riff raff in. It's like an exclusive private school! She's strict but very loving and we appreciated that vs many other places where they let dogs run wild, pee everywhere, bark their heads off, etc. Not only can your dog pick up bad habits but it also really stressed my baby out. This was a welcomed change of environment. We could tell from the tour that this was going to be an amazing experience for our pup. VIPaws took excellent care of my baby every time he joined them for daycare/sleepovers. He can be a little nervous being away from us but it didn't take long for his nervous shakes to turn into tail wags. He would do excited tippy taps whenever we made the turn to her home, ecstatic about where he was about to go. He never did this for any of the other places we've tried! We ended up enrolling him in regular daycares because he would pout and get depressed when he didn't get to go. From a dog that had separation anxiety to this, there was no denying how much he loved it there. At VIPaws, we really felt that he was more than just a number. She took the time to really get to know him and knew things about his personality, likes/dislikes and quirks that even my own Mom didn't know about him. We could tell he truly felt comfortable, willing to show her his true self and thriving in the environment they create. The level of care and commitment they take for each dog is outstanding. In a short period of time, we could tell from his consistent daycare that he was not only loving his time there, but becoming a better behaved pup. Our baby learned manners and started coming home more balanced and well-behaved. Before VIPaws, he would get leash reactive on our neighborhood walks but since joining VIPaws, he got rid of that behavior right before our eyes...we were amazed! And she doesn't even charge for training, which in my opinion is a steal!! With everything you get, her prices are incredibly fair! We loved her insights shared via daily text message/pics. He always looked so happy! She is extremely knowledgeable and her advice helped us to be the best parents. I loved her honesty, letting us know the good with the bad. It was helpful to know areas we could improve on and got us excited when those improvements started coming to life. We would much rather have that than the generic "he did great" responses we got from several other places we've tried. With VIPaws, I could trust they'd tell me the truth on how my dog really was doing. VIPaws not only helped us care for our dog when we were away but also helped transform him into a confident, social, well balanced canine citizen. He has so many friends and we love seeing him live his best life! We've recommended them to our friends and they've raved about having the same experiences with their dogs. We are so grateful for all the time and attention she invested in him. This place is truly magical and such a gem. Trust me, VIPAWS IS THE BEST!!! Thank you Aunty Carly and Uncle Billy for all you did for us! We won't forget you!

Hi Carly & Billy, I…read morewanted to thank you both for what you provide for all our fur babies. Cherish & Sasha are much better at home. I've been out sick from work for the last 2 days but still able to take them on morning walks. They seem more calm and are not aggressive whenever we pass or are approaching other dogs. In fact they don't react at all when other dogs start barking or lunging towards our direction. When we are home there is no tension like we used to have. I have to remind myself to get up and correct them when they're overly barking at the mailman or people walking past the house. The entire household, humans and animals seem to be more at peace and relaxed , it's very nice. Thank you again.
