Doggy Day Care in Makaha Valley

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. My first furry friend was a rescue puppy that needed to be nursed back to health, which sparked my passion for caring for animals. Over the years, I’ve fostered many dogs and gained hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities, medical needs, and behavioral challenges. I’ve trained both puppies and older dogs alike, understanding that patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are key at any age. I’m confident, calm, and prepared to handle most situations with care and attentiveness I’m currently a stay-at-home dog mom, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I occasionally take on side work, but I’m home the majority of the time, so your dog will rarely be left alone. We are a crate-trained household, and I do ask that owners provide their dog’s crate for their stay. If I need to step out briefly, your pup will be safely and comfortably crated in their own familiar space. Otherwise, they’ll enjoy plenty of companionship, supervision, and engagement throughout the day. We also have a spacious yard that offers safe outdoor time and plenty of room to play and burn off energy. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in yours. In my home, we provide a secure and structured environment designed to help dogs feel comfortable and relaxed. Our yard is fully fenced, and I supervise all outdoor time. I go outside multiple times throughout the day with the dogs — whether it’s for potty breaks, play sessions, or simply relaxing outdoors. Depending on the weather and your dog’s energy level, we may spend anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour outside playing games like tug-of-war or fetch. After playtime, dogs can cooloff comfortably inside with air conditioning. My dog is gentle, especially with smaller dogs, and stays close to me outdoors. I carefully monitor all interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. When it comes to feeding, I follow each pet’s established routine. While my dog free-feeds when alone, I understand that many dogs do best on a schedule, and I am happy to follow your specific feeding instructions. Clear communication, supervision, and consistency are the foundation of the care I provide. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own

About: I’ve always had a love for dogs and cats and am happy to be able to care for others pets! I know how hard it is to leave them and I will gladly step in and give them the love they deserve. I am willing to travel and can be flexible and am very available. I understand the dedication and commitment required to take care of a pet and am prepared to treat each pet as good as if they were my own. Each pet has their own personality and I will adapt to each pets needs and wants. Being a pet care provider will help me experience a diverse range of four pawed friends and allow me to have fun while doing it. I recently graduated college and am currently only caring for others’ pets! I will have plenty of time to check in and love on your furry friends! I will be patient and calm with scared animals, as I know it can be hard for them when they meet new people. I will maintain their schedule as much as possible.

“You know when Bishop loves his dog sitters when he jumps out of the car and leaves me behind. He loves his Ate Theresa and Uncle Clint. Theresa like many other of the awesome dog angels in the community she has given me a peace of mind while on travel, work or taking care of appointments for my Kupunas. Communication with Theresa has been great and we appreciate some of the last minute changes due to work schedules. Thank you for taking care of our new member to our family.”

“We are repeat visitors and Bishop has fallen in love with one of Christine’s dogs. He looks forward to coming over and looks back everyone he leaves. As new dog parents we are relieved to give Bishop a chance to socialize and not be home alone all the time during the work week.”

About: Hello Pet Parents! My name’s Samantha, currently I am a single mom to an 19 month old boy and also a dog-mama to my Shih tzu named Cheech! I have had dogs my entire life and have been doing Rover for many years now. I take pride in my work and take it seriously, if I was going to have someone watch Cheech I would want to know they are trustworthy, diligent, understanding, and patient. So that is how I am with the pets in my care. I'll do anything to make a pups tail wag!! 🐾💝 I currently am a stay at home mom of one. I have the ability yo keep your pups schedule on track while they are in my care. I only work one a day week away from home ( I come home in my lunch break) and do property management from home on the side. My sister watches my son on the one day that I do go to work, so if your pet stays with me I would always be around or my sister would be at my home to let your pet outside, walk them, and care for their needs. :) I do not normally host more than one families pet/s at once but if I was going to, I would let both owners know before doing so and only with dogs that I had watched before and know that there would not be any issues. I offer pet/house sitting, I need to be able to bring my son with me & if possible I like to bring my shih tzu Cheech with me to boarding jobs. (But I do understand sometimes that isn’t an option. I don’t want any dog or cat feeling like their home is being invaded.) I have a small yard at my home to take dogs out but there isnt much running space if your dog is high energy. Luckily I do have a bike path right near by we can walk to for walks! If I have multiple dogs staying with me I do have the ability to separate them if necessary during eating, sleeping, or when I do run errands.

“Did a great job caring for my baby for the day. Thank you so much!”

“McKenzie and her assistants (doggos Lilah and Koa) were so welcoming. I received frequent updates and photos. McKenzie asked great questions about Delta’s care and was also open to a meet up prior to our first day of doggy daycare! We will definitely be booking again!”

“Mia took really good care of Gus. It’s been awhile since I left him by himself, so he was really shy. Mia understood this and let him go at his own pace. Her home is lovely with a great front yard set up. I hope Gus opens up more next time. :)”

About: I’ve taken care and been around dogs for my entire life! I’ve personally always had dogs as pets and am trusted by my family and friends to watch and care for their own dogs! I currently work from home and thankfully have the ability to create my own schedule! So I am available generally anytime of the day for any and all your pet needs! I have two pet dogs personally and they are well taken care for! My dogs currently do not live with me, meaning my house is dog-free! And I will be able to house your dog for the time being! I of course will take care of your pets the same way I care for my own!

About: I bring years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. What sets me apart is my calm, intuitive approach and deep understanding of animal behavior. I’ve also cared for exotic pets like macaws, so I’m confident with animals that require patience and special attention. Whether it’s administering meds, sticking to training routines, or just giving your pet the love and structure they’re used to at home, I’m all in. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, seen, and spoiled while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work from home, giving me the flexibility to provide consistent attention, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to stick to each pet’s schedule—whether it’s feeding times, medication, or playtime—without distractions or long absences. Having animals around is a joy, and I love making them feel like part of the family while they’re in my care. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I follow their usual routines closely—feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest—to help them feel comfortable and secure. In your home, I respect your space and follow your care instructions down to the detail. In my home, pets have a cozy, supervised space with plenty of attention and affection. I provide regular updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands.

About: I’ve cared for pets almost my entire life and have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m comfortable with energetic puppies who need structure and consistency, as well as older dogs who require patience, gentleness, and a slower pace. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any special needs to make sure every pet feels safe and cared for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, basic training, or simply keeping your pet company, I always treat animals like they’re my own. I’m reliable, calm, and very detail-oriented, which helps pets settle in quickly. I take the time to understand each animal’s temperament so they feel comfortable and supported. I’m experienced with puppy basics like crate training, leash manners, and reinforcing good habits. I’m also confident with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra monitoring. Communication is a big priority for me—I send plenty of updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you complete peace of mind. I’m currently working part time on the weekends and I’m free during the week. So I’ll have plenty of time to care for you’re pets! I make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable. My home has a big fenced yard with nice grass and plenty of space to run around. Inside, there’s lots of room to relax and play too. I keep a close eye on pets, follow their routines, and make sure they feel right at home the whole time.

“Abbi was quick to respond for a short notice dog sitting for our puppy Moose. Unfortunately Moose became sick the night before so we had to cancel. She was really empathetic about the cause of cancellation and we will definitely be looking forward to requesting her services in the future when our pup is healthy.”

About: I'm very passionate about animals—I love being around them and taking care of their every need. I understand it can be hard when someone else is watching your pet, so I'll provide regular updates so you know how they're doing. I love staying active on walks. If your pet enjoys running, I'll join them; otherwise, we'll take a leisurely stroll. You let me know exactly what you need and how you want it done, and I will provide that service for you—I'll follow all your rules to the letter, as I have a dog myself and know how important those details are for peace of mind. I'm a very outgoing, responsible, clean, and helpful individual. I'll make sure your animal gets everything they deserve! Aloha! I'm Ciara, a passionate animal lover who recently moved from sunny Southern California to the beautiful shores of Hawaii with my beloved Great Dane, Chanel. We're loving island life and all the outdoor adventures it brings—whether it's regular walks (and the occasional jog) throughout the day, tending to the garden, hitting the hiking trails, or splashing in the ocean. With no current job commitments, I'm excited to make pet sitting my full-time gig. I've grown up around animals and understand how important it is to follow your rules exactly (as a dog parent myself, I get it!). As an outgoing, responsible, clean, and helpful person, I'll ensure your furry friend gets the love, care, and fun they deserve while you're away. Let's connect—I can't wait to meet your pet! I have a tall fenced yard, not big but a good size. I am open to welcoming in you pet as long as both dog's get along. The safety and well-being is most important.
