Doggy Day Care Highlands

“I needed day care services for the last 3 weeks. Susan & Ian were amazing! I requested dog pickup and drop off. I work 12 hrs a day and when I got home I came home to a tired and happy dog. It was like Christmas. I got pictures and video updates thought the day and report card at end of day. Kuka, my dog, loves their Rudy. They became buddies. I cant recommend them high enough!! Kuka went to doggie day care in the past and it always stressed her out. We tired 4 different places. She is super duper happy with Susan and family.”

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 know ollie had a great time at day care! He definitely got enough exercise without overdoing it as he’s a bit older now. Angelica was super accommodating with drip of and pick up times and made me feel super comfortable leaving him for the day.”

“Rio always comes home tired and happy after daycare. He gets along so well with Greer and gets plenty of attention. They are amazing sitters!”

Kami S.

“I had never left my little dog anywhere before so I was a little nervous. Mitzi went right into the house. Vanessa's updates were really helpful. My Cavpoo came home happy and tired.”

“Kangna and Saawan are excellent pet sitters. We left our sweet pups with them for a long day and our usually shy girl warmed right up after a short introduction to each of them. We were a bit nervous about this experience prior to dropping off Maggie because we’ve never left her with anyone else. So happy we did…these two people are the ideal couple to leave a beloved pet with for any amount of time! Thanks so much, Kangna and Saawa!!! We would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a safe, calm, and loving place to leave their pet for a few hours, a whole day, or an extended stay.”

About: Your dog should come home relaxed, not relieved it’s over. Some dogs want to come along on the good stuff with us: walks through Orenco Woods, hikes in the highlands, lazy afternoons at my sister’s duck farm. Others want a quiet couch and someone to sit with them, and that’s just as welcome. A year of professional sitting with consistent five-star reviews, and I’ve cared for everyone from a few-month-old puppy to a senior with arthritis. I take a maximum of two dog families at a time, so your dog gets real attention instead of a spot in a pack. No bite histories. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so dogs aren’t stuck alone for long stretches. Mornings start with yard time and breakfast. Midday is a walk or quiet rest, depending on what your dog wants. Evenings flex to the dog: longer walks and outings for the active ones, couch time for the dogs who’d rather decompress. You’ll get daily photos and videos so you can see how they’re actually doing. Plenty of dog gates and separation infrastructure means dogs and kids have their own space when needed, and new dogs can decompress before meeting my resident dogs. I do slow introductions before any overnight stay and keep food and medications on a clear schedule. Fully fenced backyard, single-story home, no stairs to navigate. Crates available if your dog prefers one. Your dog stays in a real household with people who actually want them there.

“Allison has been great every time we’ve taken our pups to her. She’s watched our boxer puppy twice and I don’t know how she still loves her little face after all the gremlining she does. Thank you so so much for watching and wearing out Keeley!”

Ashley M.

“Marley could not wait to stay with Kirsten's family and.always looks forward to going back! I was thrilled knowing Marley wasn't just safe but loved. Kirsten and her family are just the best.”

Amy P.

“Piggy had a great time with Marla and Keith. She got all her puppy energy out and came back ready for bed. They gave a great update at the end of the day about how it went and I felt very comfortable leaving her with them. 10/10”

“Otis loved his time with Daniel and Rico. Daniel’s home and neighborhood are perfect for Otis and similar to his home environment.”

Ramona G.

“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”

Michael P.

“Another awesome day with Damon and his doggos. Uki always leaves so tired and happy. She’s still tired the next day and has really blossomed in her social skills.”

Savannah S.

“Alexis and Jacob watched Baja for the first time and it was a total success! Baja is very sweet but can be a handful and so we were pretty picky about who could take the reins after her last sitter moved. Based on the friendliness, competence, reliability, and great communication we experienced with Alexis and Jacob, we’re thrilled to have a new loving and safe place for Baja to stay when we’re gone.”

Jan W.

“Jami was amazing and helped us out with a last minute work trip! She was flexible and did incredible hikes and outings with our dogs. They were so happy to be with Jami!”

Christen P.

“Mersal was a great communicator (clear, friendly, quick responses) and our high-energy husky shepherd mix had a blast with her for the day. Our goal was for our pup to get to play and have fun all day and Mersal and her dogs delivered! We loved receiving multiple photos and videos of all the fun. Will definitely book again!”

Lidia K.

“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!”

Michael A.

“The perfect experience for an old dog with some extra medical needs! Peter was responsive, flexible and so caring with my boy! During pick up, it was clear how much Guinness enjoyed his time as he came out to say hello to me and then promptly turned around to try and go back into Peter’s house which is pretty much the best sign you can get! So happy to have a great option for daycare and boarding!”

Nina K.

“I felt so comfortable leaving my older little pup in Stephanie’s care. She truly loves pups, and takes extra care to create a safe and comfortable environment for the dogs. Thankful!”
