Doggy Day Care Kalihi-Palama

About: I know that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re family. That’s why I provide loving, reliable, and stress-free dog-sitting services tailored to your pup’s needs. Whether you’re away for a few hours or an extended trip, you can count on me to offer attentive care, regular exercise, and plenty of belly rubs. With a passion for animals and years of experience, I ensure your furry friend stays happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Book with me today and give your dog the care they deserve! I’m currently a SAHM so my schedule is typically open. I do however only watch one dog at a time to provide them with a comfortable stay. They must have a bed or kennel provided with their stay. I will follow special instructions, if needed. I feed them, take them on walks, play with them, pet and cuddle them. Maybe, take them on a car ride if they like that.

About: Hi, I’m Chloe! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds, and caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have 2 cats and 1 dog, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. One thing I specialize in is caring for dogs with separation anxiety. Since I’m home full-time and don’t work outside the house, I’m able to provide constant companionship and can stay with your pet all day if needed. I’ve cared for many dogs who become anxious when left alone, so I understand the patience, consistency, and reassurance they need to feel safe and comfortable. I’ve also cared for family and friends’ pets for years, helping with walks, feeding, playtime, medication when needed, and keeping them company. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra attention, I’ll treat them like one of my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Since I’m not currently working, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets my full attention. I’m home a lot, so I’m able to keep a close eye on them, stick to their routines, and make sure they get lots of care, playtime, and company throughout the day I live in a townhouse with my dog Roxy and my three kittens. Roxy is a small Chihuahua, very energetic, friendly, and used to being around other animals. My cats are also very social and comfortable in a multi-pet home. It’s a calm, pet-friendly space where animals are part of everyday life. I also love staying active with walks, trips to the dog park, and going to the beach when the weather’s nice. Pets staying with me would get lots of attention, care, and companionship in a safe, relaxed environment (with lots of cuddles)

“I can not say enough great things about Luis and Christine!! They truly love animals and could not have provided a more welcoming and loving environment for my dog. Christine baked homemade,nutritional treats specific for my dog :) Luis and Christine not only took my pup on several walks throughout the day, but took her on adventures throughout the island! They really are not your average sitter, but so much more! I hope to book again as they really are amazing people.”

“Nichole was phenomenal and treated our fur babies with love and care that was above and beyond! She made us feel at ease knowing our kiddos were taken care of while we were at work, and the updates and photos really made our lives stress-free. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you so much Nichole!”

“After my last river sister moved away, I was a apprehensive about someone else watching Thumper. Hailey and Benjamin made everything easy from the first meet and great, slowly introducing their dogs one at a time and then letting them all roam around their yard, to the first drop off. Thumper was a bit nervous when he was dropped off, but slowly calmed down and enjoyed himself there. Everything made me calm down as well. I got a check-in update and lots of pictures. I am excited for his next visit and glad I found someone that both Thumper and I are both comfortable with!!!!”

“Aris took such great care of my little fur baby. She was very nurturing and so kind. She sent updates often and gave my baby all of her attention. I would definitely recommend! Thank you Aris for taking care of Sammie! She had so much fun with you! ❤️”

“Truffles had such a lovely time with Sherrie & family. They took such great care of him, giving lots of love and play and activities for him to do. He has lots of great memories, and I definitely recommend Sherrie and will rebook.”

About: I have grown up with and taken care of dogs my entire life, dog-sat multiple times, and am also raising a sweet doggo of my own. Now with a place of my own with no stairs, I love to included services for senior dogs. I am currently working from home part time so I am excited to take your pups out for a daily walk, check in on them during the day, or even board them over night! I have flexible availability other than Saturdays. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own. I do not have any stairs so my home is senior-dog friendly. I crate trained my dog as a puppy and happy to do that for your dog as well.

About: I had dogs since I was very young. As a child, I wanted to grow up to become a vet, but I realized I'm allergic to cats, and some dogs. Even with allergies I'll still watch them because I love them and that's what allergy pills are for 😆. Care taking animals at home is one of my dream jobs, and I'm very lucky to be able to have a safe space for my furry friends to hang out at. I've been fostering with Paws of Hawaii for almost 3 years. I love being able to help provide a home to those in need, and it's so much fun seeing all the different personalities. I just love being surrounded by dogs. I like to train simple and fun tricks with them! My house basically became a doggy day care with fosters and dog sitting my friends furbabies! I'm currently working part time for music and acting so I have a lot of time. I spend most days hanging out with my dog, a foster, and sometimes my friends dog when I get asked to dogsit. I have a fenced yard, 1 dog of my own, and usually 1 foster or 2 fosters. We hang out multiple times a day out in the yard, to play and relax. They are allowed to roam around the house, I'm very attentive. I also have a crate for when I need to leave the house. All dogs are crate trained, and fed in the crate at my house. I change out the water frequently and give them filtered water.

“Had our first daycare with Karinne and the pups came out smiling! She was very thorough from before meeting to during and with good follow up after; took time to understand each of their behaviors and personalities; and showed a lot of care and kindness. Deeply appreciative of having someone to trust and watch my doggies especially since they have a bit of separation anxiety. They were calm and pleasantly tired after long day!”

“Amy was great with our timid little rescue pup! We're excited to have someone in town that we can trust Kona with. We'll definitely book with Amy again!”

About: 🐕🐈‍⬛🐎🐁🐹🐇🐦🐢🐍🐟 My earliest memory of having animals goes back to when I was three. Over the years, my parents owned a Cocker Spaniel, a Miniature Pinscher, Boxers, and a Toy Fox Terrier, but there were always more than just dogs around because I was tooootally that kid who fed (and eventually brought inside) the stray cats, had a fish tank, nursed injured birds I found back to health, volunteered at local stables, or raised baby bunnies who were abandoned from their mother. The trade-off for keeping all of the animals around was always as long as I took care of them, so I learned a lot about animal husbandry and responsible pet ownership from a young age. This helped me become the go-to kid among family, family friends, and the neighborhood to hire to drop in and feed, poop scoop, house sit, or walk their dogs. -`♡´- My love of animals only grew as I did. Almost as soon as I moved out on my own as an adult, I got my first dog, my Italian Greyhound, Paisley (who, over 15 years later, I am so lucky to have still curling up next to me every day). For all of my adult life I have been a dog mom, and for most of my adult life, I have not only done pet sitting but have worked with various rescues as a transporter, foster, or on the backend doing marketing/fundraising. -`♡´- In all, I have shared a significant portion of my life primarily with dogs and cats, but also various other manners of domesticated animals, including horses, rodents, birds, fish, and reptiles, including exotics, rearing them from as early as hours old, syringe and bottle-feeding, all through their lives and into old age. As such, I have experience that comes with some age-driven nuances, like navigating naughty puppy behaviors and training, to seniors who require mobility assistance and need help taking medications and eating. I never wanted human children, so my furbabies ARE my kids! I know how difficult it is leaving them for any amount of time, especially with a stranger. With that knowledge, I hope to make the experience as smooth, easy, and stressless as possible for you and your pets! 🐾 I lost my soul dog to Cushing's Disease in August 2025. It changed a lot for me. So, when my Italian Greyhound was diagnosed with CKD and I welcomed my puppy into my life, I decided to leave traditional work to pour my time and energy into who and what matters most, including my animals. 💖 I occasionally do other freelance work, and of course take care of my own furbabies, one of which is a show/sports puppy (aka we do a TON of training and go to a lot of events)...but otherwise I am pretty open. Overall, I am a flexible person and appreciate likewise flexible people. ⚠️ My Azawakh puppy is very dog-selective, so at present time, I can only reliably offer drop-in services in client homes and dog walking. ~ *I MAY be able to take on one well-behaved small to medium dog boarding or doggy day care client on a case-by-case basis at a time, but will require proof of all vaccines and monthly preventatives for the safety of my animals, as well as at LEAST one initial meet and greet in a neutral place (i.e. not my home or yours) with my Azawakh to ensure that it will be a good, fair, and safe match for everyone involved.* ~ 🏡 In YOUR home — I am comfortable with security/pet cameras (my own home has like five Furbo cams, so I get it!). As both a Sighthound and cat owner, I understand living with wannabe escape artists, and employ a number of safe entry methods to ensure that your furbaby stays safe and secure, because I know how stressful it can be on them when their paw-rents leave and their routine changes and suddenly there is a stranger in their home! ~ 📸 I am ALWAYS happy to text updates and send photos/videos so long as YOU want them (I don't want to bother you if you don't)! ~ 📝Typical care provided in my base drop-in rate: 🐶 DOGS — Check on, feeding, water refresh, pick up poop in yard, treats/brief play/training/tricks/cuddles if time allows, and at owner's instruction. *Dog walking is an additional fee/booking (please book appropriate length of time based on length of walk required AND your dog's walking style)* 🐱CATS — Check on, feeding, water refresh, scoop litter box, treats/brief play/cuddles if time allows, and at owner's instruction.

“Tracey and her family are truly the best. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that our fur baby was being spoiled and well taken cared of. Thank you for everything❤️”

About: Our oldest dog is 5 years old, being an intelligent, high energy breed she’s taught me everything I know! I wanted to start dog sitting specifically for military families, so you can be confident your pets are in good hands for an affordable price when you need to leave the island or are working long hours! MUST have access onto Hickam military base I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always home! I have plenty of time and space to give your pets the attention they need I keep my dogs on a strict feeding/potty schedule and pay attention to their cues, I can provide the same level of care and attention to detail for your pets! I have a fenced in yard and the AC is always on!

About: I’m a reliable and caring animal lover with experience both as a pet owner and working in hospitality, where attention to detail and excellent care for others are essential. Having my own pet has taught me how important it is to provide animals with patience, consistency, and lots of love. I understand how much pets mean to their families and always treat them like my own. My background in hospitality has strengthened my responsibility, communication, and ability to create a safe and comfortable environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether that means energetic walks, playtime, or calm companionship at home. My goal is to make sure every pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for while their owners have complete peace of mind. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I already maintain an active lifestyle with daily walks and a structured schedule, so incorporating dog walks, check-ins, and pet sitting throughout the day works seamlessly for me. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and caring for them is something I prioritize in my routine. Because I also come from a hospitality background, I’m very attentive, responsible, and used to providing high-quality care and service. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening visits, I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care as if they were my own. care for every pet the same way their owner would in their own home. My goal is to keep their routine, comfort, and environment as consistent as possible so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routines, playtime, medications, or simply giving them extra attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and responsibility I would my own. I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where your pet receives personalized care, exercise, and companionship. I also like to provide a premium experience for both pets and owners. That means attentive care, regular updates and photos, clean and organized spaces, and making sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own.

“Yesenia took such great care of my pup!!”

“This was our first experience with a dog sitter and Daisy was the BEST! She made our Snickers feel right at home at her place. She was so patient and caring with him. She communicated very well with us all day and sent us so many fun videos. We recommend her 100%. We'll definitely call Daisy again when we're back on Oahu.”

About: All my life since i was a kid i already love Dogs i have owned Dogs and taken care of them most of my life i never met one that didn’t like me and i make sure they get treated as a human being they are very smart and unique very loyal and they deserve a lot of love and attention.Being away with them can really create stress so i made sure they have nothing to worry about. I am currently staying home and weekly is not as busy my weekend can definitely be scheduled and dog walking will be a perfect fit for my availability. We live in a Condo gated community and we have a big park next to our place most of the times i will be taking your lil fur baby outside, walk around our friendly neighborhood and enjoy a nice stroll.

“I highly recommend Catalina if you need someone to take care of your pet. She is dedicated, compassionate, and understanding towards animals. If you want someone who will treat your pet with love, then Catalina on Rover.com is the right person for you. I recently booked Catalina for doggy day care on Rover.com when I was in town. Even though I arranged it at the last minute, Catalina was a lifesaver for my 12-year-old Miniature American Eskimo, Nimbus, who has slight separation anxiety. Catalina was very friendly and welcoming from the beginning, which helped me and Nimbus feel at ease. Even though I forgot to bring Nimbus's toys, Catalina took care of her well during the seven hours she was with her. Catalina went above and beyond to make sure Nimbus was comfortable. Nimbus was given specific treats that I provided, brushed, and walked. It was clear that Catalina cared for Nimbus and was aware of her anxiety. Catalina was also mindful of Nimbus's behavior. Nimbus is not good with other dogs and has a tendency to chase cats. Catalina kept Nimbus in a safe and comfortable environment and made sure she was away from anything that could distress her. This shows how much Catalina tailors her care to each pet's specific needs. Catalina's ability to adapt to Nimbus's specific needs proves why I highly recommend her services on Rover.com.”
