Doggy Day Care In Kailua

“Gigi was very comfortable with Lauren and her son. She sent me a few pictures, two of which were of Gigi sitting next to Lauren with her head in her lap. We will definitely bring Gigi to Lauren again.”

About: I’ve been the primary caretaker for my dog for the past 7 years, handling everything from daily walks and feedings to baths and medication. I walk him at least four times a day and try to get in a longer mile-ish walk a few times a week so he can explore at his own pace. I’ve also cared for several friends’ dogs for multi-day stays ranging from a couple of days to over a week. Between that and growing up around pets, I’m very comfortable reading a dog’s personality and routine. My wife has lived with dogs her whole life as well, so our home is very dog friendly. Dogs are welcome on the couch and our own dog sleeps in bed with us. I’ve also done a fair bit of basic training with him. I taught him “wait” (stay), helped him get comfortable with paw cleaning after walks, and even set up a little “dog nest” on the bed that he now uses as his sleeping spot. I’m attentive to routines, meds, and the little details that make pets feel comfortable. I work from home, so pet care fits very naturally into my day. I’m around most of the time and able to give dogs attention, bathroom breaks, and supervision throughout the day. Our normal routine is a morning outing, one in the afternoon, another around 5–6pm, and a final one around 9pm before bed. If a dog needs to go out sooner or starts pawing at the door, I’m always happy to take them out. I try to fit in longer walks when the weather and work schedule allow, usually in the evenings. Because I’m home during the day, pets aren’t left alone for long stretches and get plenty of interaction. I work from home and have a wrap-around fenced yard, so dogs have plenty of safe space to wander and get fresh air. I keep a close eye on them when they’re outside and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. Inside, dogs are welcome to relax and make themselves comfortable. Our home is very dog friendly, and we’re used to having pets around. If a dog needs to be crated for sleeping or while we step out briefly, we do have a crate available. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, and any specific instructions from owners. I’m also happy to send photos or videos throughout the stay so you can see how your pet is doing.

“Rose was fantastic with our dog Bo! He came to her daily throughout our move to the island until we were settled into our new home. She kept him active by going on hikes and sent the cutest pictures of him being loved on in her home. We will definitely be booking again! 🐾”

“Very friendly and accommodating of a trip to San Antonio. Received pictures of the dogs playing and updated throughout the stay. Highly recommend. Great fenced yard to play in and inside playroom to cool off. Would book again if in the area.”

“My dog had wonderful time with Erin and her dog Remy. I highly recommend her. I hope to use her in the near future. Thank you very much!”

About: 🌺 I will be on hiatus July-August for surgery and recovery🌺 I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals, including more than 5 years as a kennel assistant and 5 years as a veterinary assistant. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve developed strong skills in administering medications, including insulin and asthma treatments. My time in a veterinary hospital has also given me valuable experience working with animals of all temperaments, allowing me to stay calm, patient, and attentive in any situation. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your pet gets my complete time, attention, and care. I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved, and that their time with me is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I have 5 years of veterinary medical experience and feel confident providing a wide range of care for pets of all needs—from those requiring more involved medical support to those who simply need extra love and cuddles. I take cleanliness and safety seriously, thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing between each client to ensure a healthy, comfortable environment for your furry friend.

About: Hi! I have 2 small dogs of my own so I understand what it's like choosing a sitter. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule. I have experience giving oral medication and shots because my previous dogs had Diabetes, Cushing's, Pancreatitis, Dementia, etc. I have also watched dogs with heart/stomach/back/vision/hearing issues. I will care for your dog(s) as if they were my own with extra belly rubs, back scratches and face massages! I don't mind your dog sleeping in my bed or we can use their crate. <3 <3 I have a flexible schedule during the week because I work from home. I often work out of the house 1-2 days over the weekend from about 7am-3pm. I can make sure my mom is here if I am at work so they won't be left alone for a long period of time. She stays in the same house so there are usually two of us here. I understand it can be scary to leave your fur babies with someone else. Rest assured that they will be safe (#1 priority!) and comfortable. I won't bug you with every little thing so you don't stress out, but I will also send you pics because I know you miss them! I have experience with anxious/needy dogs and can adapt my schedule accordingly.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up caring for Labs, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, Border Collies, Huskies, and a Mini Goldendoodle — so I understand everything from high-energy working breeds to small companion dogs. When I was 14 years old, I became the primary caregiver for my Chihuahua, who was under a year old when we brought her home. I cared for her throughout her entire life, including providing attentive, compassionate senior care as her needs changed in her later years. That experience taught me responsibility, patience, and how to adjust care as dogs age. I’ve also cared for an energetic Husky, so I’m very comfortable with active dogs who need structured exercise and mental stimulation. I raised my Mini Goldendoodle from 6 weeks old and handled all of her training, so I’m confident working with puppies and reinforcing good habits. I truly believe dogs deserve an enriching life beyond the home. I love beach walks and hikes, and I tailor each outing to match a dog’s energy level and personality. While dogs may be part of our world, to them we are their whole world — and I care for every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work remotely from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention for dogs in my care. During working hours, I’m available for shorter walks (up to 30 minutes), drop-ins, and in-home care. My meeting schedule varies day to day, so timing during work hours will need flexibility, but I always communicate clearly to coordinate a time that works best. After 3:00 PM, I have full availability for longer walks, outings, and dedicated time with your dog. In My Home: Dogs staying with me have access to my office/guest room, the main living areas, and a fully fenced backyard at all times. Because I work remotely from 7:00 AM–3:00 PM, I’m home throughout the day to provide supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention. Dogs are never isolated and can stay near me while I work, helping them feel comfortable and secure. They’ll also have the opportunity to play with my docile and friendly Mini Goldendoodle, Nova, who loves having company. Of course, I always prioritize safe, positive introductions and will separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I provide regular walks, playtime, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level — whether that’s relaxed outdoor time or more active exercise. I follow feeding schedules, routines, and any specific care instructions closely to make the transition from your home to mine as smooth as possible. Drop-In Visits (Client’s Home): For drop-ins, I focus on keeping your dog’s routine consistent in their familiar environment. Visits can include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of attention. I always respect your home and leave it exactly as I found it, and I provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: Have had dogs most of my life. We have a safe and comfortable space for dogs to run around in. I also take morning and evening walks to keep them busy. Flexible with our schedule! I am home all day so will be with your pup the entire duration of the stay. Any nuances in schedule will be reflected on the calendar. I have an acre fenced yard that is well maintained and all grass. Plenty of activities and toys to keep them busy. I am only looking to house one dog at a time.

“Alyssa was such a wonderful host for our dobie girl. Our pup had other pups to play with and lots of great attention. She fell right to sleep in the car after pick up. I definitely recommend Alyssa!”

About: Going on vacation should not be stressful for you or your pet. Your pet will enjoy their own mini-vacay with me! I enjoy creating interactive games or adventures outdoors. I worked 3 years emergency veterinary medicine and 2 years as a vet tech so I know what to look out for and can also provide special needs if your pet requires it. I have experience in training dogs also, so I can keep up with whatever your training plan is if your pup is still in training! I make healthy homemade training treats so I will share those and make them feel spoiled. If your dog is up for it, I would love to take them to hang out with friends' dogs, hiking, running, or some beach fun. It is best to keep a dog on a similar schedule that they are used to so please let me know what your dog's routine usually is. Please let me know if your dog is or isn't friendly with other dogs. I also have experience with cats and have had rabbits for 12 years so I can help no matter what your fluffy family is! Ask me about multiple pet discounts! *Limited experience with whelping and rearing puppies under 8 weeks. Let me know what your pet's usual routine is, or favorite toys, or what things they enjoy doing most so we can do them together. I can accommodate pet sitting in your home with a variety of scenarios, no matter if your pet is crate-trained or is a bedtime snuggler.

“Kaleo loved being at Michelle's and found a happy connection with her mom! He almost didn't want to leave. Loved the pictures Michelle posted, pampered pup. So glad we found her on Rover.com. Kaleo said he'll be back, and I agree. Thank you Michelle!”

About: I work from home, so your pet gets constant attention and care. Clean, calm home with a fenced yard for safe play. Daily walks that dogs love to join. I also love to run if your pup does! Experience in veterinary settings; comfortable administering medication. I only host 1–2 dogs at a time for personalized care. Single dog stays available upon request. Active or low energy, I match your pet’s needs. I work from home, so your pet will have consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I can easily step away for walks, potty breaks, or playtime whenever needed. I’m also close enough to walk to and from my kids school, so a twice a day walk is guaranteed. I’m happy to match your pet’s energy — whether that’s a relaxed day lounging in the sun, short walks, or going for a jog. On weekends, I enjoy hiking and being outdoors, but I also love quiet days at home with movies and downtime. Whatever your pet prefers, I can accommodate. In your home, I will stick closely to your pet’s routine and any house rules you have in place. I hold a Top Secret clearance, so you can trust that your home and belongings are in safe, responsible hands. In my home, I have a calm, structured environment. I have a spayed, very submissive hairless Xoloitzcuintli who does well with other pets. My kids are with me part time and are very respectful of animals and mindful about doors and boundaries. I have a cat who was raised in a foster environment and is very comfortable around other animals. My home is a safe, low stress space where pets can relax and feel at ease.

About: I love all animals! I have dog sat for over 10 years for various clients including a 14 year old lab, 5 year old dachshunds, 13 year old bichon, 2 year old rescue, 2 year old pit mix, 3 year old lab and 10 year old shih tzus. I also have experience with many cats. I have also cared for rabbits, parrots, horses, potbelly big, fish ponds, chickens and gardens. I am comfortable administering medication and preparing special meals. I also worked at Poi Dogs Daycare and Boarding, so I have lots of experience with many different types of dogs. I will respect your house and space. I look forward to meeting your pets! I work in Kailua and check in on them mid day.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes for over 15 years and have extensive experience providing loving, attentive care. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and dependable to care for your pets. I currently have a dog named Dolly, who is a huge part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pets in my home receive plenty of attention, supervision, and exercise throughout the day. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I take dogs on regular walks and use a secure backyard lead for safe outdoor time, bathroom breaks, and fresh air. I always prioritize pets’ comfort, safety, and routines to help them feel at home.

About: I have experience in training service animals. I also have a one year old Australian shepherd named bear and have raised/trained two other dogs in the past 5 years. Very comfortable with any kind of dog, big or small and will take care of your fur child like they are my own! I am currently a full-time student taking online classes so I am home a lot which means I have plenty of time to play and take care of animals. I am available most of the week except for Wednesdays and Sundays. I have a very loving/friendly mini Australian shepherd who loves other dogs but can be separated if needed. I have a fenced in yard and a crate if your dog needs it. Plenty of toys and treats to keep them happy as well!

“Arianah is a wonderful sitter for Levi. She always gets him to eat all his food and takes care of him like her own dogs! Levi loves hanging out with her when I have to work.”

About: I’ve taken care of a handful of dogs before and every experience I’ve had was nothing short of amazing. I hope to have the privilege to experience more of that. I’m currently unemployed and hoping to make a little money so fitting your babies into my schedule is no problem at all as I'm only doing school now. I currently only have Guinea pigs and cats in my home, we have had dogs before but not anymore. I would say the care I give my animals goes above and beyond, I absolutely adore my babies so nothing is too much for them. I feed, play and clean up after them every single day and I really do enjoy all of it. Animals are absolutely my passion and i hope to pursue something long term involving them and so it is my absolute pleasure to watch over your babies because they get me one step closer to being able to do that. Two words I would use to describe my cats, loved and spoiled.

“We love Piya…her warm personality & gentle demeanor were obvious when we met her…dogs pick up on that. After dropping our fur baby off with her we were confident that she was in good care. Piya even sent us a picture…the fur baby knocked out sleeping on her husbands lap. Plus she’s in a great location for both the customer (Ala Wai area) as well as for dogs…there’s a huge park that’s right out front from where she lives. We’re so glad to have found Piya on Rover and you will too.”
