Dog Sitters in Kapa A, HI

I have been a client of Kamuela Pet Care for 14 years and Lisa has always been a safe and trusted pet sitter. My dog Mochi loved staying there it was a second home to him. He was so excited to be dropped off there he would run into the house like a bullet and not look back. We have a new puppy now and plan to take our dog there when we travel again. Very safe.

Lisa at Kamuela Pet care is an absolute gem. She truly cares for all of her guest pets as her own. My dog has been visiting her for years and gets so excited every time we turn down her street.. he is ready to jump out of the car! As soon as my car door opens he runs to her front door and starts barking in excitement until she opens the door. The second the door opens he runs inside and starts playing with her other dogs! We don't have to worry one bit when he is with her. I don't know what we would do without her. We travel a ton for work and vacations which we would not be able to do without her!! Our boy is well fed.. we always bring his food and he gets to eat with the rest of the “pack”. We bring his bed for him to sleep in although sometimes I think he sneaks into bed with her and he husband who is also just amazing with the dogs! Our boy gets plenty of love and attention at his Auntie Lisas and when we pick him up he is sad to leave and all worn out from so much play time! Its a dream!! 🐶🐶

Lisa and her family have been dedicated sitters to my fur baby (which cane before my human baby) for years. Being my first (kid) it was imperative I felt I could trust Lisa and never once have I had an issue. Lisa's kind, loving, inclusive pack is an ideal setting for my little darlings, and I have never considered an alternate sitter. Lisa hasn't ever turned my request for service down and i always know my babies will be well fed, safe, and cozy. Kudos to Lisa and her entire family!!!!

Our pet sitter moved to the mainland after 10 years, and we were very concerned to find someone who could give our 11 year old French Bulldog the care she needs as a senior dog. We were thrilled to find Lisa and Kamuela Pet Care. Lisa is very focused on the dogs' needs and comfort and our RuthAnne was as happy and healthy as ever after her first stay with Lisa. We have already booked a long stay over the holidays and are so happy to have Lisa available to us in the future. Daniel and Christina

We would not trust anyone else with Annie than Lisa. I love that she cares for smaller dogs and has them indoors at night. My Annie is timid and not much of a socializer. Lisa picked up on that right away and takes extra care. Her yard is nicely landscaped and well gated allowing dogs to explore, play and do their business. Lisa will text photos to you by request which for us is every time we she sits for us. We are so glad we found Lisa for Annie.

Lisa is amazing!! Her experience and dedication shows. Whether I need her ahead of time, or last minute, she’s always available. The environment and care that she provides is unmatched. Thank you Lisa for taking care of our doggy whenever needed.

I am so grateful to Lisa and family~ my dog 🐶 loves going there! I feel so relieved to find such loving people to take care of my fur baby like their own family member: he has so much fun. …

I’m so happy to have connected with Kamuela Pet Care. My pups haven’t had much social exposure, I was worried, but they did great and I know it’s because of Lisa, she’s amazing!!! 🐾 Mahalo nui, Nancy, Oscar & Maya ☺️ …

I’ve been taking my dog Makana to Kamuela Pet Care since 2018. I love taking him there because he gets such excellent care, He gets so excited when we’re getting close to the house and when I pick him up he looks so content. What more do you need ❤️❤️

Great place to leave my dogs when going away. Have dropped them there a few times. Dogs are treated better there than at home😂 Received some pics of my 2 girls sleeping on the furniture there! They don’t even get to do that at home. Highly recommended. 2 🐾 up! …

Tiphany was fantastic. She provided lots of feedback daily and took the cutest photos and we really felt good that someone was watching our for babies. She was really excellent and we really appreciate her. She did a great job I would recommend Hailii to anyone interested in going away and not knowing what would happen to their cats dogs etc. in fact I’m looking at scheduling another couple of days after the beginning of the year. Thanks Pet Gals

We have been using Shelley for almost 2 1/2 years now on a weekly basis to let our dogs out during the day while we are working and for overnights when we are on vacation. She is wonderful with our dogs and with us! She always lets us know how things are going. She was pet sitting our dogs during a brush fire last year that came close to the village and we were off island, and she had everything under control in case they needed to evacuate. She's marvelous! Now we always check to see if she's available BEFORE we make our vacation plans. I can't recommend her enough. Happy dog mom and happy dogs.🐾

We have had months of great experiences with Noreen and Bre! Noreen has been our main dog walker and Bre the backup so we know they will always show up. Noreen sends us great pics and shares the story of her visit, we love getting updates while we are at work. We highly recommend using this service for your fur babies

This was our first time using this service for our cats since moving to the Big Island. We received a text when the sitter arrived and a summary of the visit along with photos of our cats while they were playing with the sitter. We are now confident we can use this service for future visits and longer travel plans we have going forward, knowing our pets will be well looked after.

Shelley is amazing! We lost our 12 year old Rhodesian just before leaving for the mainland to see family. We knew we were leaving our other boy in good hands even though he missed his brother terribly. Shelley kept him close, made sure he ate and by weeks end he was playing again. It's also nice to come home to a clean house and surprise goodies - thanks Shelley!! Until next time.... :)

Wainoloa pet sitting is a great company to do pleasure with. They took care of my 2 dogs while I was on the mainland , they send pictures of the dogs and give updates on them too . I'd recommend them to look after your pets!

Love these gals!!! My dog is notorious for trying to run from anyone that’s not me but the team has been so great and understanding of our concerns. I love the pics they send of his walks too!!

Sam was awesome! You will be the first to call the next time pet sitting is needed!

It was a wonderful experience. I will definitely be doing it again on my next vacation. Thank you so much!

very nice to have this service! would love to use it so much more just a little to pricy

If you're seeking a worry-free getaway for your furry companions, look no further! Kona Dog Care is the perfect retreat. They provided daily updates with photos while I was away for 9 days, ensuring my Pomeranian was well taken care of. The facility is safe, comfortable, and boasts a beautiful garden where dogs can roam freely. My dog felt like he was on vacation himself! If you're searching for a trustworthy place, I highly recommend Kona Dog Care.

We are very lucky to have found Kona Dog Care. It was obvious from the moment we arrived, that Bruce and his wife are kind and caring dog lovers. They took such great care of our doggie baby and did everything they could to make her feel comfortable and at home. Our dog was not the least bit nervous or stressed when we picked her up, which says it all. We could really tell that she was cared for with love and compassion. The home is a safe and friendly environment with a positive and fun atmosphere for dogs. Thank you for everything, we are grateful for you, and for the heart-forward pride that you put into your service.

Everything was perfect. My senior dog Skipper was very well taken care of and loved while I was away. We received texts with pictures of him everyday. Bruce even gave him a bath before we picked him up!! We will definitely use Kona Dog Care again in future. Thank you Bruce!

Bruce was an unbelievable dog sitter! Wow did he take incredible care of our pug Roxy while we had to be off island for 10 days! She was loved, sat on his couch, had sit in the sun time in their beautiful backyard, and he even sent daily text updates! I highly recommend Bruce and Kona Dog Care as they are SO much more than a do sitting service, they truly care about the pets they care for. Thanks Bruce!!

Bruce and his family went out of their way to settle our skittish dog Amber. After 2 days she settled in and had a good time both indoors and outdoors with the other dogs. After 8 days together Amber will be happy to go back the next time and Bruce will be happy to have her.

We can’t recommend Kona Dog Care enough. This was out first big trip since our pups joined our family, and we were very, very nervous about leaving them. We are so thankful to Bruce, Tata and Harry for the love and care they showered on Kea and Mea. We received almost daily updates, with pictures, which gave us peace of mind, and allowed us to have an amazing trip. Bruce has such a kind, gentle nature, and really helped Kea and Mea feel settled. Honestly, they had such a wonderful time and bonded so well with the other dogs that were in-house at the time that I’m not sure they were thrilled about coming home 🤣 It is a small, family run operation where the dogs live in the home, which makes all the difference in the world. Mahalo Bruce, Tata and Harry for taking such amazing care of our furry family. We are so happy to have found you. With aloha, The Kletts

Bruce and Kona Dog Care watched our dogs during Memorial day Weekend. They worked with us on food and eating schedule. We made sure that food was labeled with clear instructions. Bruce was so kind to ask about their personalities and habits. Bruce's son supplied lots of extra attention to our youngest dog. They limit the number of dogs allowed so each dog is well cared for. They have a fenced area for play and doing their business. We appreciated the daily notes and photos, making our trip less worrisome. We texted them as we left the airport to head to their home. Both dogs were leashed and ready to go when we got there. I feel like we have found treasure with this family. I made new travel plans the next morning. Finding an honest, kind, generous family that loved my dogs is such a blessing. I highly recommend them for your smaller dogs.

We are very pleased with the care of our pet provided by Kona Dog Care. It is very difficult to find someone you can trust and care for your pet. We had a great boarding kennel that we intrusted for over thirty years until they retired. So finding a boarding for our pet was a important process. We had a site visit and was very satisfied with the home that only took in small dogs that had other dogs with a outdoor run. It was a home type environment with no cages to house the pet. Bruce was very accommodating with food and feeding. Daily photos and comments on how our pet was getting along with the other dogs was sent to us on our 17 day trip. Our pet did very well and adjusted back at home upon his return.

Thinking about leaving home for our first trip to the Mainland since becoming dog parents was stressful for us. We searched for a place where our baby could be in a family environment where he would receive individualized attention from loving humans and no regimented schedule or long periods alone. More importantly, we wanted to make sure that his Canine Good Citizen training would be reinforced. Finding Bruce and TaTa was a blessing. Pete, our 18 month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, had a great time interacting with the other dogs. Daily updates and photos kept us from worrying about him. Thank you Bruce and TaTa.

We are happy to have Kona Dog Care take care of our dogs while we are away from home. We felt very comfortable with Bruce and his family the 1st time we went to see their place with our dogs. He even sent us this picture of our dogs sleeping while we were away. Thank you Bruce and family for caring for our dogs like your own while we are away. We are happy to have Kona Dog Care take care of our fur babies.

Susan from Pet Gal Kona took wonderful care of my multiple cat household. Her visits were on time and very thorough and she provided detailed reports about each visit and each kitty. I highly recommend her and will be using Pet Gal services in the future for all my pet sitting needs.

We had not used a dog walker before so we didn't know what to expect. Turns out it was a wonderful decision! Susan was exceptional! And our dog absolutely adored her. In fact, she would wait on the couch for her to come and they became best buds. Highly recommend!

Danielle was a terrific cat sitter! She communicated with us daily and provided pictures of our cat; as well as the water fountain level, cleaned cat litter, wet food set on the feeding station, and the dry food dispenser. She also cleaned everything up and retrieved our mail. I am extremely happy with the service she provided and will definitely be using her/Pet Gal in the future.

Pet Gal, especially Danielle, was fantastic! Danielle was able to get my shy little Lucy to come out of her shell. The reports and pictures made it much easier to be away, knowing she was in good hands. I will only use Pet Gal in the future.

Danielle was wonderful . . I loved the photos I got and my Kitty loved Danielle . . :)

I recently went on a mother/daughter trip. My husband cannot physically walk our Whippet/Border Collie mix, Thalia, so while I was gone she started misbehaving. I was desperate because she was taking her own walks and sneaking into the neighbors yard. Yikes! I knew she needed her walks and I contacted “The Pet Gal Kona” to see if they could help me. Mind you, I was not home, traveling on the Mainland but was able to easily contact them via their website. Wow, I got a response immediately! Susan was quickly set up the next day for a meet and greet. My Thalia is a bit on the shy side but Susan won her over on their daily walks. She gave me a follow up of their walks everyday. Wonderful that they show they care about us dog mamas ❤️ It was such a success that I will continue to use them. Mahalos to the team at The Pet Gal Kona!

Susan was kind enough to open our home for a day long drop off of our very elderly Peanut. Susan is very experienced and tremendously companionate. She sent us several updates through out the day (including videos) and we felt our Peanut was in the perfect hands. We have already booked Peanut for another stay this week. Thank you so much to Per Gal Kona and especially Susan.

I have been using The Pet Gal weekly for 3 months now, and I can absolutely vouch for their service. My main walker is Bre and she is just fantastic! I think my dog loves her walks with Bre more than with me. Bre gives her enough exercise and then reinforces my dog's training with healthy treats. I live the app they use to track what is going on during the walk and to add commentary and photos from the walk. It is very comforting to know that my dog is getting what she needs in my absence and that she enjoys it.

Super easy to get started and they have really efficient booking processes. Was able to book just a couple days before I went out of town. They fed my cat everyday, scooped his litter, cleaned any messes and really cared about my little guy, and the process was so easy. Will be using this service for all my future travel.

We were delighted with the help from PetGals. They were very very dependable, kept our dog happy, and provided a steady stream of email and photos to show how well things were going. Definitely recommend.

We take our little dog Peach here to Holly who grooms her. She does an excellent job and is so very nice. 5 stars

This is my go to, local, dog boarding spot whenever I have to travel -- from 2 days to 2 weeks. All of the staff is incredibly kind, accommodating and helpful! They're also amazing with the dogs. My dog is 10yo rescue with some anxiety and behavioral challenges and they've always said he's just great and does so well here. I would gladly trust them with my dog or any future pets.

Best grooming services ever!! Holly is fabulous! Cheeto was so calm and happy not to mention handsome! Highly recommended!

Breath taking view for the dogs during the day while they are outside.

Ohana Animal Inn is such a sweet & loving place to leave our sweet baby girl. She loves it so much that she practically jumps our of the car before we park! She loves hugs from Chris the owner & Francis her caregiver. When we pick her up she is bathed along with her bedding. She loves to play with Oreo, Chris's dog too. We enjoy ourselves away knowing she is well cared for & loved. We recommend them hands down for superb care of your fur baby while you are away!

Our two boys love staying here where Chris and his staff is very friendly. They get to stay outside and play during the day and that's exactly what they love doing. They seem well cared for when we pick them up.

These people are wonderful you can totally trust them to take the best care of your pets!

I recently picked up my dog from there and he had an injury to his foot and looked very thin. Could of been to his longer than usual stay but when he boarded in Kahului he was fine when we got him back. They didn't say anything about him when I picked him up. He acts and seems normal otherwise.

We love Ohana animal inn. The staff are professional and super friendly.

My dogs love this place! They act like it's a summer camp vacation-- Rufus and Dude give it full marks! Plus Oreo loves it when he romps with them there.

Amazing business, it's clear everyone goes through extensive training. You get to meet the owner before your pet is approved to come here to make sure it's a good fit. We are so pleased to see how happy our gal is when we drop her off. Professional and polite service, and very well kept facilities. Their system is so organized as everyone else mentions. We are completely at ease having our dog at Paws whether it's a day or weeks!

I am a registered nurse and this facility is super friendly helpful and extremely patient as my client was disabled and had service dog beyond just training classes they do boarding day care I know from picking up the owners dog their outdoor setting is cooler than most ideal close to airport convenient and most importantly fun ! it just takes a moment to be kind.

New customer of Paws University. My pup seems to enjoy her time there but I am dissatisfied with a charge they added to my bill. It's not about the $35. It is the principal. A boarding pick up at 12pm (for those who are new) will be charged an extra $35. When I reserved the boarding in person, I informed the person that I'll be dropping off my pup at 3pm and picking her up next day at 3pm. I was not informed that there's an extra charge of $35 for post 12pm pick up. There wasn't an email reminder regarding pick up and drop off time. It's not stated clearly on their FAQ or website. But, when called, the manager said that it is on the boarding contract and on their site, way at the bottom of the page. While I do not mind the $35, this in principal is uncool.

I haven't boarded my dogs here yet but I will say, 5 stars all around for communication. I had filled out the application in 1 day and they got back to me instantly as well as setting up an eval quickly. Because of unforseen circumstances, I ended up having to cancel and AGAIN, they got back to me the same day. I appreciate this as communication is important so people can work other things out. Looking forward to doing business with PAWS in the future.

The Paws team and facility are exceptional! My work requires travel to the mainland monthly and our GS, Kila, always looks forward to seeing the employees and other dogs each time we arrive. I couldn't do my job without Paws and the terrific staff. Brett K

Great tech.She clipped my cats nails in a flash. My cat usually is really very hard to trim. Very good experience, great team of Pros. I highly recommend them to all.

Wonderful well-trained staff, great system and organization, grooming and facilities top notch. They also send video/photos and updates when our dogs are kennelled. Thank you

Recently moved to island and needed groomer who not only does good work but is good with my older (age 14) dogs. Really happy with Nancy who has years of experience. The setting is great and my dogs seemed really happy. It's great to have found a really good groomer!

I’ve taken my dachshund to several different groomers here in Kona and Paws University is by far the best. They have many different services. We’ve never done the day care but the two groomers Colleen & Nancy are amazing.They obviously care a great deal about their job and adore all the pups that come in to be serviced. It’s a wonderful establishment!

Our Shepinois pup Koda loves going to Paws! He has enjoyed daycare and boarding. The staff are super friendly as well.

My dog had an awful experience here. I have never experienced such negligence leaving her anywhere. One of their excuses was that she is old but she lost 15 pounds over about five days and had poop on her butt when she was picked up. Never did I receive a phone call or text about her having diarrhea or not eating. She was shaking the whole way home when my sister picked her up and when I got her from my sister she wasn’t excited to see me. She was scared and thought she was in trouble which is very out of character and has never happened before with my high-energy and happy pup. Although I did get several follow-calls, their good standing doesn’t matter to me when the care could have been there all along. I’m very disappointed and she’s still recovering a few weeks later to gain her weight back. Do not bring your dog here or especially an older dog that cannot afford to have these experiences! They are not attuned to animals even though they’re probably nice people.

My dog's were full of life when I picked them up. Communication with the owners were easy and the area for them to run was awesome. Mahalo to Jim, and his team.

How do I know it’s a great place? My dogs jump out of the car immediately and then sleep for days after. And for a few days after if they are outside and we open the truck doors? They jump in

This is Buddy and Bailey third time to stay at Lucky D kennels. I am grateful there is such a place here in Kona to take your dogs. They don't have to be with a bunch of other dogs they have their own huge fence area to be with each other. My dog buddy isn't the most social dog so it is great that he doesn't have to be put with lots of other dogs. Jim, Megan and Dawn are great with my family - they are open to anything you might ask. I microwave chicken to add to the dog food and so does lucky D - if you ask them too...

My dogs LOVE Lucky D! All I have to say is "Wanna go to Lucky D?" and they get all excited! The private yards are plenty of space for them to run around and cruise. They have the company of other dogs, without the chance encounter of an agressive dog. Jim and Marie are the BEST! Your animals are your family, so when I'm away I know they are safe and having a ball! Mahalo for taking such great care of the Ladies!

They were a life saver when we needed a place for our dogs to stay in October 2022. I initially talked to the owner and he was very professional and friendly. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs in his care. Check in was good (rest of staff was just as friendly) and the facilities clean. When I picked my dogs up, they seemed well cared for. Thanks Lucky D!

My puppies 🐶 were well taken care of. Zippy the blk one. Izzy has Grey on her face Dozer is the big boy Or I also call them the Rat Pack

My poor puppy stayed for one night. I got a call an hour before pick up time asking if she came with a limp and when I said no the owner had lots of excuses as to why she was limping but no actual explanation. 7/27 update still no contact with owner

So happy to have found this place. My dog had never been boarded before, but she seemed to really like it here. Spotless facility. We’ll be back!

I've taken my dogs to Lucky D Kennels for years now. It's the only boarding facility I trust with my dogs while I'm away. The property and kennels are pristine. The experienced staff are absolutely wonderful and very friendly. They treat my dogs like family. My dogs recognize the staff and get excited to see them every time! I couldn't be any happier with their care and customer service. I highly recommend them!

Erica and her staff are amazing. I 100% trust her to take care of my Doberman. She will send pics daily and you can rest assured your pet is getting all the love, attention, and socialization they deserve! Thank you Erica for taking care of Indy for the past 3 years. We are both so much better for all the love you've given.❤️

Erica is amazing! She welcomed my 4 dogs (on short notice) with love and attention! The dog kennels are larger than others and well maintained. She sends daily pictures with updates. All my dogs just loved her and her staff. This is the only boarding place that i will use here on the island.

To sum up Erica's service: Exceptional! She went above and beyond all we could hope for! She lovingly watched our rabbit Lucy and cat Loki for 15 days. She sent so many pictures and spoiled them like they were her own. From day one of when I contacted her, she was always super prompt and answered my questions thoroughly. I could tell right away that she loved animals and that our fur babies would be in excellent care. Not a day went by where I didn't get at least 10 pictures of them looking well taken care of. I highly recommend her service and we will definitely be repeat customers!

Nozomi, pictured, had a wonderful time . We were given constant updates and pictures of both our Samoyed and ginger cat. Would definitely recommend. Thank you!

Great place to board your dog. We have used Erica to overnight our dog over the last 3 years. She is great with all the animals and has an intricate dog run where she can adjust the runs to the size of the dog. Her application is well thought out. It includes temperament of you dog, medical issues and verification of required shots and kennel medication. We have never had a problem there and our dog always comes home to rests from all the fun and running around with the other dogs. The dogs are paired up with like size and temperament and she closely watches them interact before introducing other dogs.

Best dog boarding that I have ever used. Such a wonderful person and team that take care of your dogs. They send picture updates to you so you can see them enjoying themselves while you are away.

Erica and her staff are the best and my dog is so happy there🐾🐶👍 …

Best place on the island to bring my dogs. I don't even consider other places now.

Erica and her team are wonderful. Kind and very caring!!

The service was great. The daily photos were a bonus.

I cannot recommend Heidi and her team enough at Don't Sweat I Got Your Pet. Marci, took care of our eight cats while we were traveling. She went above and beyond to give our kitties love and kindness and made sure they got their meals on time every day. The portal is super easy to use to keep visits and communications in an organized manner, and Marci was always very responsive and accommodating. I loved getting a report after each visit with pictures and video... specially while being far away in another country and missing my babies. Thank you so much, Heidi, for putting together such a helpful service for us pet owners and for always being so kind and loving towards our babies. It really shows!!

OMG. Best pet sitting service. They care so much and one time went out of their way to take my baby kitten to the vet because he was looking a little sick and they didn’t want him to suffer until I got back. Love the thorough emails and the thoughtfulness involved in. It only caring for your pets but your home.

Heidi and her team took wonderful care of my two cats. Marci and Kate would visit with the cats and gain their trust so they got lots of pets and love. I got a report card each day with how the cats did along with pictures. I would absolutely recommend them

Thank you so much for making our experience with you so easy and seamless! We felt confident and happy that our pet was cared for with love by our pet care team member! We received daily written updates, photos and suggestions by our pet sitter. 5 stars!

My go to pet sitter and my kitties absolutely love them! They take such great care of my fur babies, are super friendly, organized, and thorough. Each visit I get an update with pictures, which gives me peace of mind when I'm traveling. The portal is easy to use and is a great way to communicate with staff. Highly recommend them!

Heidi and her team at Don’t Sweat, I’ve Got Your Pet helped me rest easy and focus on long work days for weeks. They have a great team of different folks who assisted in caring for our two dogs when we needed in home care. Our Chihuahua mix is a tough one to win over but he quickly fell in love with all 3 care takers. Our Catahoula mix is really tough on leash and Kate gave him all the grace and redirection he needed to walk successfully during her visits. I truly was able to keep my mind focused on traveling and work and didn’t have to stress about my fur babies as I knew they were in the caring hand of the folks at Don’t Sweat, I’ve Got Your Pet.

Heidi and her staff are very professional. They’ve taken great care of our 3 Poodles, sent pictures of them with every visit and brought such peace of mind during our time away from our babies. So glad we found her!

We are so glad that we have Heidi as our pet sitter. She is extremely reliable and we completely trust her coming to our home when we are gone. She is an excellent communicator and keeps us updated daily, including photos of our pets. What really makes her special is that she provides compassionate care. We recently had an older rabbit who was not doing very well and Heidi fed her, held her, and washed her every morning and evening. She even took her home with her to be able to provide her with better and more frequent care. We couldn’t be happier with Heidi and her services.

We went to the mainland for 5 days, and we wanted to make sure our fur babies were kept on a consistent schedule while we were gone. I reached out to Heidi, who immediately connected us to Marci. Marci came over for a meet and greet a couple weeks before we left, and she was so good with the animals. She asked where we kept food, treats, toys, etc and was extremely kind! After we left, not only did she do an excellent job caring for them, but she sent us 2 updates per day detailing everything she did for the animals according to the instructions we left. She sent so many cute pictures, and it gave immense peace of mind to know they were happy and well taken care of. Not only that, but our home&backyard were spotless upon returning. It was worth every penny! We will be hiring Don’t Sweat I Got Your Pet from now on!

Heidi is amazing! She was so good to our two dogs and will treat your pets like they are her own. Very professional and responsible, 5/5.
