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!

Kehau first met with us to get to know Luca and understand his personality and needs, which we really appreciated. She handled both pick up and drop off, which was especially helpful since we were going on vacation. Throughout the entire process, she communicated with us consistently and sent updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Luca is basically a family member, so feeling comfortable and trusting the person caring for him meant everything to us. Luca has definitely shown improvement since the training and while we're still working on things at home, we can already see the difference. We looked into other trainers before deciding and I'm so glad we chose Kehau :) She came highly recommended by a close friend, and now I completely understand why. I would absolutely recommend her services to anyone considering board and train.

There was a chance I was going to need boarding for a dog and I inquired first via Yelp. As it is cumbersome to communicate solely on Yelp, Kehau asked if we could move to text. From there we were able to discuss timing of our potential boarding needs. Kehau was professional and responsive and I really appreciate the level of service she provided even before we were a client.

You know she doesn't just leave them alone because she's fully retired from the military so taking care of the dogs IS her full time job. She's amazing, try their services at least once and you'll see what I'm talking about. One of the best things I noticed is dogs are ALWAYS happy bcoz for them it's a time where they get to play with other dogs. 10/10! Highly highly recommend!

Our 10 year old pupper, Bailey has never been boarded so you can imagine how difficult this was for me.

The site is BEAUTIFULLLL and they have a giant yard for your pet to roam and run free! I'm so happy Bailey enjoyed herself and am so grateful for Mac and her family for taking care of her for one week.

I called around 8pm and they got me in for 9pm to see a doctor. Every tech, and doctor we interacted with were so nice and caring. They quickly did X-rays and discovered a severe case of bladder stones. Unfortunately, emergency surgery was our only option. It was expensive... $4,000 but everywhere else would of been around the same price. Their initial evaluation visit was actually cheaper than the quote I got at VCA. The doctor did an amazing job and called us as soon as he was out of surgery. She was able to get every stone out, including the tiny ones. She saved our fur baby's life!!! Not only that, but when we went to pick him up, the doctor spent a long time with us helping to figure out a better diet plan moving forward. I appreciated that we were not rushed. Facility wise, the lobby area is huge and very nice. There are lots of rooms... it feels spacious. My dog was in great care here and is now on the mend. If you need to take your pet to an emergency place, they will be in good hands here. They made us pay about $2,000 as a deposit to start the surgery and we had to pay the rest upon pick up.

I heard about Arms of Aloha in passing as others recommended them on various Facebook dog groups that I'm a part of. When my dog was diagnosed with cancer, one thing that popped into my mind was that, if possible, I'd like to let her cross over at home, where she was more comfortable. This thought was even stronger after having visited the vet so many times in the last weeks of her life. I had read up on the literature available on the Arm's of Aloha website (where you can also get an estimate) as well as preregistered. You can also look at their appointments available. They advise on making an appointment at least 1-2 days in advance, especially on the weekends. The hard part is knowing ahead what day that will be. My dog took a turn for the worst one day and I went back and forth on scheduling the only/last appointment available for the next day (appts can be seen/booked online). No one wants to make that call (decision), but it's also painful to watch your beloved friend suffer. They do have a thorough cancellation policy you can read online and I decided I'd book the last appointment to secure it and I could always cancel/reschedule more than 8 hours out. In the confirmation email, there is a link to a video to watch of the Doctor describing the process so you're familiar - I'd recommend this if it is your first time through this. I guess because it was already the next day, they called me shortly after to confirm my appointment. I could barely get the words out the confirm but I never felt judged by the person on the phone. The morning of the appointment, I received an invoice in my email. They suggest taking care of it ahead of time as doing it in the moment with so many emotion is harder. I appreciated this detail and was able to get it out of the way. At our scheduled appointment time, Dr. Naun came to our house. She has a calm and peaceful energy to her. She had some further paperwork for me to sign then we started the process. It was peaceful, and of course sad, but Dr. Naun brought comfort to the situation and we're so grateful for a service like this. We chose to have our dog's ashes returned to us and about a week later, we received a beautiful urn and our paw prints. With the service, they have a chaplain who you may access to talk to if you need help. I did not use it but they do also offer at home palliative care.

Oh gosh where do I begin? The short story is Pounce has my 3 felines this weekend.... I picked…read morethem up yesterday.... after a 4 night 5 star feline hotel visit. Here is my story: I usually have my cats under control at home or cat boarding at my veterinarian's location when I travel. but shucks! I wasn't lucky this past weekend. The other side of the coin is I was lucky because I found Pounce. A couple points 1. a walking distance to my office 2. pricing comparable to what my vet would charge 3. please environment for my felines 4. easy drop off easy pick up 5. daily follow up with pics of my felines from Pounce 6. comprehensive schedule of their stay; to and including when they use the bathroom... go figure! 7. they can/will administer meds if need be (one of my girls has asthma) My felines while happy to return home with me were treated with kindness and care. I will always go to Pounce from now on. Now then, the facility- clean, climate and air controlled facilities. I went to the Queen Street location and parking was easy. Right in front. You will need to call them when you get there. The doors are closed (for obvious reasons) and one of the gals will come out to get you. Same process on the way out! They have your fur babies all packed up and ready to go. Call them and they will wheel them out to your car!!! Sadly, I won't be boarding my felines at my vet any more as I'm so pleased with Pounce. Imagine! My own vet who cares for my fur babies want to charge you all sorts of things to board. Forget that; especially since my felines were not strangers to the vet clinic. But now! my felines are no longer strangers to Pounce. A definite must try if you have felines to board!

They were nice, had regular training and were bonded to cover expenses if anything bad happened. But the people who walked my dogs were constantly changing over and at one point they couldn't cover for my visit although they had said they could and also charged me a lot more than they originally said because they decided to institute holiday rates. That's when I looked for a more stable group of people and Aloha Pro was recommended. They are a couple who used to run a restaurant and then have been in this business for many years. OMGoodness if my dogs didn't immediately fall in love with husband Frank! I could tell when I came home that he had walked them that day because they were extra excited when they greeted me at the door. Seems they would tell me stories about Uncle Frank walking them, and sadly I didn't understand, but their excitement was definitely noticeable. And when I'd go on a trip before Aloha Pro, they used to stop eating for a few days until they had to eat, but when Uncle Frank watched them, no such problem. And when I returned from a trip they were excited to see me but not as crazy as before and again they were happy to tell me that Uncle Frank took good care of them. My dog didn't see him for a year and when he came for the key she squealed and jumped up and down like he was Bruno Mars. He is magical with dogs! Because there's only the two of them they only work with pets on the Leeward side. So if you want to experience the Uncle Frank magic you'll have to move to Leeward
