Doggy Day Care In Waimanalo

“My 1 year old lab loves being at Dale and Lauren’s for doggy day care. Lauren sent us many pictures/videos throughout the day and I could tell my fur baby was having so much fun. I trust them 100% to take great care of my girl, Violet. We already booked boarding for another stay coming up! Definitely would recommend to anyone interested!”

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.

“James is the BEST ever! He takes care of our fur baby, Maya, like she is his own. She LOVES him and is so excited to see him!! We are so fortunate to have found her BFF!!”

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.

“Rose was incredible with Kuma!! She responded to all of my messages quickly, sent photos, kept her busy and happy all day. She was also very flexible when I had to push back my pick up time. I will absolutely be booking with Rose again!! 😊”

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 and cats 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, we recently bought a spacious single-family home with a yard and large lanai, so your dogs can enjoy hanging out inside or outside.

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.

“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”

“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!”

“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.”

“Alexandra was really nice and updates us regularly. We were worried taking Budders to a stranger because he’s a shy dog and isn’t good with strangers but Alexandra knows how to handle Budders.”

About: I worked as a veterinary assistant for 6 years, pet owner of cats, dogs and birds all my life. I am kind, respectful, responsible and friendly to all. I love getting to know any animal and see their different characteristics and personalities! Currently I’m focusing on my art and caring for family, so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to change my schedule according to what is needed. It is easier for me to care for pets in their own home as I have multiple pets in the household. I will try to maintain your pets normal routine.

“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 will take care of your fur babies as I do my own! Comfortability is key and I can accommodate to any special needs as needed! I work full time from home, but not working everyday. I have a lot of free time and will be able to cater to your fur babies, and take them on adventures! I have a fenced yard and dog park near by that I go to everyday. Dogs are free to roam around my house and the backyard! They will feel right at home with my little pug.

“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!”

“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.”
