Doggy Day Care Waimanalo

“Our dog had a great time with Lauren! She was super attentive and sent pics and a video during the stay. She was caring for a few other dogs at the time and our dog loved playing with them and got lots of attention! Will definitely rebook!!”

About: My husband and I have always cared for and owned dogs, but we currently don’t have one and are missing our fur friends! I recently moved from England to Hawaii to join my husband here for work, and before welcoming a dog of our own, we’d love to spend time caring for yours! I will be the primary caregiver, as I work from home. Back in England, I looked after my mom’s dog almost every day for the past six years whenever I wasn’t working at the hospital, as I worked from home a lot too. I also regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs for overnight stays, weekends and holidays. In fact, I became the go-to dog sitter in our little English village! As a healthcare professional, I understand the importance of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and I bring that same level of patience, compassion, and commitment to every dog I care for. We know that every dog has their own unique personality and routine, and we’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and so loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, we’ll care for them as if they were our own! I (Carmen) will be the primary caregiver, with Cam (husband) home in the evenings for cuddles and post-dinner beach walks with us. I currently work from home, part-time as a UK-registered Dietitian. I’d love a fur colleague to keep me company! I walk, run or swim at the beach every morning or lunchtime and evenings too, and Kalama Beach is only a 10 minute walk from our house. My husband works with the military (he’s a ex-marine officer) so he’s not around as much but he would absolutely love doggy kisses to welcome him home after work. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a large shared yard that is fully enclosed, with two access points that we securely block off whenever a dog is outside, so they can enjoy the space safely under our supervision. We share the yard with three lovely neighboring couples who are also dog lovers, creating a friendly and welcoming environment. Our home is a spacious two-story, three-bedroom house with plenty of room for your pup to relax. After beach adventures or muddy walks, we even have two bathtub showers ready for rinsing off sandy paws and giving your dog a little spa treatment! We’ll follow your dog’s usual routine, provide lots of love and attention, and ensure they’re always supervised and cared for as if they were our own.

“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! 🐾”

“James is the BEST! He took such great care of our baby, Maya. He made sure to make her feel comfortable and safe. We are so lucky to have him to take care of Maya!! Highly recommend James!!”

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.

“Daisy took great care of our high maintenance pug and accepted all of our requests without batting an eye. She sent regular updates. Will definitely repeat.”

About: 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: Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds. I recently lost a beloved family dog in Japan, which deepened my appreciation for the importance of compassionate, attentive care for animals. Although I do not currently have a pet of my own, I stay closely connected to animals through volunteering at the humane society, where I help care for and socialize dogs of different temperaments and needs. I am active, reliable, and very attentive to each animal’s individual personality and routine. I enjoy providing safe, loving care, regular exercise, and meaningful companionship tailored to each dog’s needs—whether that means calm indoor time, structured walks, or active outdoor time for more energetic dogs. I work mostly remotely, so I’m home the majority of the day and can provide consistent care and attention. I do have occasional appointments, but I plan my schedule to ensure pets are always checked on and cared for regularly. I’m also very active and enjoy hiking and outdoor time, so I’m happy to include pets who enjoy walks, exercise, and being out and about. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care or medications. In the home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and not alone for long periods, giving them consistent companionship and supervision. I keep the environment clean, calm, and stress-free, and I’m very respectful of the client’s home, treating it with care as if it were my own.

“Rebekah is amazing! She’s so considerate and puts so much care into watching my little dog Edgar :) After every daycare day, you can tell he’s had lots of fun and is so content. Her little dog Nova is also an angel, very polite and playful! Could not recommend Rebekah enough!”

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.

About: Aloha! Official animal lover here, who’s had and taken care of various types of pets from Tarantulas, Turtles, Hamsters, Gerbils, Chameleons, parakeets, frogs, to rabbits, fish, cats and dogs! I would love to watch your furbaby and take great care of her/him! I’m experienced with caring for dogs of all stages, big or small. I like to exercise, so your dog will get plenty of exercise (walk or run) with me:) I also speak Japanese and Spanish! I do not work, but do travel often to mainland as I have elderly parents. So when I’m on island I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. My husband works from home, and we recently bought a spacious single-family home with a yard and large lanai, so your dogs can enjoy hanging out inside or outside.

“Lilian did an excellent job watching Lucy. I would highly recommend her to anyone ?. I look forward to contacting you in the future and will recommend you also. Aloha”

“Taylor is fantastic. I was in town for work with my wee guy and she took care of him during the times I couldn't have him with me. Rowlf and Taylor made a fast friends. They played and walked and cuddled, she took tons of pics and kept me up to date about their time together, and really supported me while I was working. I'm so grateful I found her. Taylor is super friendly, thorough, and loving. It can be so hard for all of us to trust the care of our babies to a stranger. You can't go wrong here!”

“During my recent move, I needed a sitter for my two dogs during the day & Aralie responded in a timely manner. Aralie watched my dogs for three days and reassured me that they were doing okay by updating me with pictures throughout the day! I definitely recommend!”

“Sis was wonderful with our dog! Our pup is only nine months old so I was a bit worried about leaving her, but Sis made her feel right at home. She loved going over there every morning for doggy sitting. I would definitely use her again.”

“Maple was great, we’d definitely love for her to watch our pup Lovely again. Maple accepted our last-minute request, and responded quickly. Then, during Lovely’s day with Maple, Maple sent lots of updates, with pictures and videos. Lovely is shy around new people, but Maple was patient with her and let her take the lead on what she was comfortable with. For example, Lovely was shy to go in the house at first, so Maple set her up on a long-line on the deck and kept the door open so Lovely could go inside whenever she was ready. This was our first time using Rover, and we’re so grateful to have found Maple!”

About: Caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it's a genuine lifelong passion that began in my childhood. As soon as I was old enough to volunteer at the humane society my father and I would go to help out on our free time. It wasn't just a job, it was a formative experience where I learned the importance of compassionate care and responsible pet ownership. I have a diverse experience from the delicate needs of fish and birds to the unique requirements of guinea pigs, bunnies, turtles and chameleons, in addition to cats and dogs. I understand that each animal is an individual, and I'm committed to providing personalized care that caters to their specific needs, ensuring their well being and happiness. Since I'm working from home, your pet will benefit from consistent attention and care. I'm available throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and of course, plenty of cuddles! I can easily accommodate your pet's specific needs and routines. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family! I provide a safe and fun environment with plenty of opportunities for playtime, socialization (if appropriate and with your consent), and relaxation. My home is thoroughly pet-proofed. I carefully monitor each pet's behavior and make sure to meet their individual needs. I also prioritize hygiene, with regular cleaning and disinfecting of pet areas. I'm committed to creating a home away from home experience where your pet feels secure and loved.

“Naudia is very responsive and love that she can take my pup to an enclosed area for him to exercise in the middle of the day and provides companionship with her other doggy day care companions.”

About: I've always loved dogs, especially small ones since that is what I've had my whole life. My family's Yorkie is only 5lbs so I know how to be very careful and protective over them. I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I am currently working from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible! If your house is close by, I could go a couple times a day to let the pet out or even bring to my house if you wanted so they would not be alone all day! We are very pet friendly so your pet would not need to be in a crate unless you wanted them to be! We also have a fenced in yard!
