Doggy Day Care Highlands

“My little dog Clara absolutely adores Susan and Ian and their two big dogs. They have such a wonderful dynamic with their intelligent, energetic dogs, and it melts my heart to see Clara be welcomed into their pack. She comes home so happy and tired from a full day of exercise, play, affection, and relaxing among her favorite spots. Their pickup add-on is really wonderful, and Clara gets so excited when she realizes it's time to go have fun with Baz and Ruby! It is so special to see my little dog and other new friends in daycare all confidently playing together. Every daycare dog she's met with them has been an immediate friend--not always what you expect with a chihuahua away from mom and home--and that speaks to how thoughtfully Susan and Ian manage the group. They have a real gift for understanding different dogs so that they feel comfortable, safe, and included. I trust them completely with Clara and couldn't recommend them more highly.”

About: If you're a dog lover, you should have dogs, right? I've had dogs all my life and we currently have two small well-behaved dogs, Daisy and Buddy, both under 20 lbs. My 23-year-old son Sam is a co-sitter (I'm primary) and your doggie will receive all the love it can handle! Sam used to volunteer as a dog walker at the Maui Humane Society when we lived on Maui and we spent Saturdays at the pet-a-puppy adoption gathering at the Maui Mall. Animals seem to know we're safe and loving and tend to come to us when they need help. We've rescued a duckling, a Mynah bird, a baby squirrel, a lost kitten, and two adult dogs, caring for them in our homes until appropriately placed or returned to their owners. We also took part in a humpback whale rescue when visiting Maui Feb 2023. I work from home as an instructional designer; my son is an student in animation and is also at home and absolutely adores every animal he ever met. Two responsible adults are here at all times, so this makes it easy to give your fur baby the attention it deserves. Our dogs are indoor dogs and have free roam of our house. We have a large, fenced, dog-friendly backyard for exercise. Our two small friendly dogs can show your dog the ropes. We recommend a visit prior to placement so they can all get acquainted.

“I am very happy with Marla & Keith, because Cassie received a lot of one-on-one attention. Marla is an expert at making a new dog (Cassie) feel at home in a new environment. Cassie was welcomed on walks with the other dogs - all of them much bigger than she is. And she got lap time too. The photos were a nice bonus. 😊”

“I really appreciate Kristen taking care of our boy Sampson. This was the first time being with someone else other than the groomer and being around other dogs. I think she took good care to make him comfortable around the other dogs because he really wants to meet other dogs more than before. I would highly recommend Kristen to take care of your loved one’s. Thank you Kristen! Michael Parkison”

“Jami is very diligent with sending pics/vids even when we don’t respond right away, with also sharing all needed updates about Mango. She’s straightforward, super helpful, very nice, reassuring, and keeps it a big world for your dog as she did for our Mango. She’s now our favorite and top person for anytime Mango would need daycare for the day or boarding when we have to leave for a trip.”

Ramona G.

“We needed someone to do a long daycare for our very active and high energy doggy Maya and found a great sitter with Mersel! Mersel was great to work with, responded quickly and we were very impressed with her place for both the backyard and all the spaces in the house for the dogs to play and rest. Mersel also kept us updated regularly and sent us lots of pictures and videos as the day progressed. We will definitely be booking with Mersel again in the future!”

Sahan D.

“Peter is kind, has a lovely home and welcomed Max with open arms. Sounds like my pup has a great day with Peter and his family. Peter was also super flexible when I needed to make some timing changes based on my daughter’s unpredictable basketball tournament schedule. Highly recommend!”

“Nellie visits Dottie’s house at least once a month for the fun of it. She’s excited to get there so she can play, play, play. Our 2 year old terrier is happy and tired whenever she’s picked up; Dottie throws the best parties! I know she is loved and cared for and provided for by her dog smile. We’re grateful for your help, and for sharing your loving home with us.”

“Anupama took such great care of our dog Mimi! She sent photo updates, communicated well throughout the whole stay, and asked us thoughtful questions about Mimi to help provide the best care for her. Thank you Anu!”
