Pet Sitters in Hawaiian Ocean View, HI

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!

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.

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!

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.

Lori is the best! We have used her over five years -- she is a God send! She is totally reliable and extremely flexible -- especially when we have unexpected events come up. We wouldn't trust our mutts with anyone else. She treats them like family. If you're looking for someone to take care of your pets -- don't hesitate to use Kailua Pet Sitters!

We cannot imagine life without Lori! She has been caring for our beloved pets since 2009 with daily visits and treats them like her own. She also looks after our pets and our home when we are on vacation. Lori is so dependable, trustworthy, caring and always goes the extra mile for us. We started out with one large dog, added a smaller dog, then a bird, and a then cat. All of the animals LOVE LORI! Even our very shy tortie cat makes an appearance when Lori visits. Our small dog, and even our large dog (when she was alive) waited by the door when it was around the time for Lori to visit. Lori has helped us in a pinch and is always available to help when we call or text her. She is AMAZING and you will not be disappointed with her services!

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!!!!

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. …

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! …

Hoku loves staying with Lisa. We sometimes drop off for the social interaction. Excellent and reliable care!

We are so happy that our “Legend” is so well taken cared of… and loved, when he’s with Lisa and her family. Mahalo

Lisa Cash money yo! Awesome place. Happy she decided to open on Big Island

Everyone at Pau Hana Pet Resort was wonderful! We had our puppy Rome in Doggy Daycare And he always came back happy and full of news what he did that day! They sent lots of pictures daily and kept me posted and how he was doing, will be using them from now on for our pets care!

Pau Hana has taken care of my four dogs many times and have done an outstanding job! I have a couple of dogs that are high energy, escape artists, and demanding. Pau Hana never ceases to amaze me at the hard work they put in to keep my pups excercised and well tended to. I have an immense amount of trust in Pau Hana because they deserve it and have earned that trust. Highly recommend.

Our American Bulldog Kobe for the first time stayed at a public sitter. We chose Pau Hana Pet Resort and we couldn't be more happy we chose them. We were able to enjoy our trip with no worries the staff took pictures assuring us our furry baby was doing okay. Kobe came home very happy and clean he got a nice fresh bath. We definitely will use Pau Hana Pet Resort again and we definitely will be referring them to others. Thank you Pau Hana Pet Resort.

I feel very secure that my pups are well taken care of at Pau Hana! Always eager to go there, and always eager to see me at the end of their stay. :-)

Pau Hana is an awesome dog kennel. We always board our dog here when we travel off island because they screen all doggie guests for behavior. Our girl comes back calm and in very healthy shape. We enjoy the pictures that PH sends us of our dog during the trip too! Highly recommend!

This is Bindi’s second stay at Pau Hana and I’m so pleased she has a safe and comfortable place to stay when we go off island. When she comes home, she is calm and not clingy, which tells me she felt comfortable. She also smells nice from her exit bath. I appreciate the update photos every few days so I can see her playing with the other dogs. I also really like that the owners live on site. It gives me the peace of mind of knowing they would be aware if something happened during the night.

Pau Hana Pet Resort in Hawaii is a true pet paradise! The facilities are stunning, with spacious enclosures and lush surroundings. The staff is caring and attentive, providing personalized care and regular updates. The range of amenities, including grooming and on-site veterinary care, is impressive. Plus, their commitment to sustainability is a bonus. I highly recommend Pau Hana Pet Resort for a top-notch boarding experience. 5 stars!

Lita was well cared for, clean and happy when picked up. The photo updates were greatly appreciated.

Buddy loved his stay at the resort! When we picked him up, he was happy and tired (which is a great to know he had fun playing with other dogs). He also got an exit bath so came home nice and clean. We’ll definitely be using Pau Hana Pet Resort again in the future. Thanks!!!

I am confident leaving my little baby here. They separate large and small dogs so mine has fun playing with other dogs his size. The owners remember me every time I hav contacted them even though my dog has only stayed twice.

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.

I can’t say enough about how amazing Kona Dog Care is. I have never been able to leave my 8 year old rescue dog, Ollie, alone or with anyone else due to his anxiety. When I had an unavoidable work trip scheduled, I was in a panic as to who could care for Ollie the way I do. I researched pet care all over the island and decided on Bruce and Tata because of their reviews. I was immediately impressed with the mandatory interview to see if Ollie was the right fit for them. They take great care in ensuring that those selected aren’t aggressive to other animals or humans. While I was away, I received daily updates along with pictures that really helped ease my own anxiety about leaving Ollie. They were loving and kind and paid extra special attention to Ollie’s needs. They even gave him a sweet bath before my arrival! If you’re looking for caregivers that will treat your fur baby like their own while simultaneously soothing your anxiety about leaving them, I highly recommend Kona Dog Care!

I am so grateful that there is such trustworthy dog boarding in Kona. My family enjoyed a daily note and a photo from the owner, Bruce. Highly recommended.

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.

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 are so happy that we found PetGals! Sam and Bre were great with our animals. We were given amazing updates and pictures with each visit. They went above and beyond what was expected and made us feel OK with being away. I definitely recommend them and will absolutely be a PetGals client from now on.

Zeus had the best weekend and made new friends at Jaydas house. Jayda sent me updates and I could tell Zeus had a wonderful time. Cant recommend highly enough

I have used Maika'i Pet Sitting for the past year and could not be happier with their services! I board my two dogs with pet sitters in the sitters' homes and I always have complete confidence that my dogs will be treated with love and compassion. The pet sitters send pictures and updates of my pets which helps me see how much they are loved and cared for while they're being boarded. The company owner is hands on and responsive and so easy to work with. Couldn't recommend this company more!

This locally owned business is BEYOND incredible. I had an emergency situation arise (thanks COVID) and needed a last minute boarding situation for my dog for an entire week. I called, and they worked for 2 hours to find me accommodations for my dog, and even offered us a military discount ontop of it! The customer service is so above and beyond, her attitude was cheery and helpful the entire conversation, I cannot recommend this business more. They’re amazing and I’m so thankful for how quick and willing they were to help a family in need!

Great local company super helpful and quick to answer my questions. They kept in touch with me while I was gone and got pics of my beautiful fur baby which made me feel super secure and that she was safe!!! Will continue to use them for my pet needs.

Was so happy with their services! They really did make me feel like my dog was in good hands. They kept him on the same routine and he was always happy in the pics they sent.

I've used Maika'i for the past year and a half. Hands down, my favorite pet sitting service. They are very careful with my dog and always considerate of my time. I recommend them to everyone I know with a pet.

Caring and professional! Wouldn't trust my little dog, Teddy, to any other place! Maika'i Pet Sitting is the best on Oahu!

Submitted a question using their website for more information more than 3 days ago and still no response. I guess they don't want my business.

Beautiful place... Even in the rain 😁♥️ …

Very unhelpful and an extremely misleading website

I have been bringing my dog, June, to Kona Doggie Daycare and Spa for the past year for both daycare and boarding, and Donna is GREAT!! June has fun with her dog buddies while she is there, and we are sooo thankful for the air-conditioned setting since Kailua-Kona can get sooo hot in the day!! Donna is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and their physical, behavioral and medical needs, and she has identified areas on my dog that needed further testing/follow-up by my vet so VERY THANKFUL for that!! June LOVES her time with Donna and her buddies at Kona Doggie Daycare and Spa!!!

Wasn't thrilled to leave my dog after meeting the "sitter" but had no other choice as the hotel i was staying in didn't allow animals. Got my dog back with a few bumps more and he drank a huge bowl of water like he hadn't had any in quite a while. He was also skittish. I don't know what happened BUT I won't use this doggy "daycare" again.

!!DO NOT LEAVE YOUR PET HERE!! Like mentioned in previous reviews I feel pretty strongly that there is some kind of mistreatment going on here.

It was such a relief to have found them at the last minute, however, we won’t use them again. The facility seemed to be very unsanitary and smelled really bad. Most of our dogs were dirtier when we picked them up than when they were dropped off and I’m sorry but when I pay for a service, I don’t expect a business to tell me they did me a favor and now I need to do them a favor!

Donna has been watching my dog Louie for over a year and a half, and even though he is old and has some health issues, she has no problem taking him in. He gets to socialize with other dogs (really important for him as we live alone), and she always makes sure he has/takes his medication. If I could give 6 stars I would.

Donna is great!

Missy Doggo spent a whole week at LoveBug Farm while we vacationed on the mainland. Rachel and Adam were incredibly kind and very communicative, sharing many pics and updates with me daily. When Missy wasn't too busy playing with other dogs or snoozing in the the shade, she was being snuggled by her newest human friends ❤ We couldn't be happier with the service and it's a relief to have another family kicking it with my dog versus being locked away in a kennel. LoveBug Farm all the way!!

My wife and I both work, LoveBug farm has become a second home for our pups. They actually fight to get out of the car to get to Rachel. The space and care are second to none. Reasonably priced, responsive we even get of few pics from there day. Absolutely the best experience. After a day at LoveBug they’re both ready for calm restful night.

LoveBug Farm did a great job helping care for my 3 dogs while we were on vacation. Rachel did a great job of communicating with us every day, even Sending us pics of our pups! LoveBug Farm dog care rates were affordable and her invoicing was simple to do via email. She made the whole process easy, so we could enjoy our time away without worrying about our dogs. Mahalo!!

LoveBug Farm is an exceptional place for your companion to be boarded. I've taken my Paka, a Chatahula/Pibull mix, on multiple occasions to LoveBug Farm. Rachel, the owner, made Paka feel welcomed and most importantly safe! My Paka loves going to LoveBug Farm! When he comes home, he feels at ease and ready to take the best sleep of his life. lol I only trust Rachel, at LoveBug Farm, to board Paka on the Big Island.

I was really nervous about ever being able to go on a trip and leaving my dog. But we heard about the Love Bug Farm. Rachel was amazing! We got to come check out their place before hand and have my dog meet her family and I got to ask all my questions. I felt so secure my whole trip getting pictures and check ins sent regularly. It felt more like a family friend was watching, hanging out and loving on our dog. We will definitely be using the Love Bug Farm Dog Oasis again!

Rachel is absolutely amazing! Once I reached out to her, she responded within minutes, and after our initial conversation, I could tell that she would be a great fit. She came a day early to meet my herd and she connected with my babies right away. She’s warm, loving, responsible, and passionate about animals. I immediately felt like I could trust her. While I’ve been off island, she’s gone out of her way to keep me updated, send me pictures and my animals absolutely love her! I cannot recommend her enough! If you’re looking for someone reliable and who cares, Rachel is your lady!

Nothing short of AMAZING! She came to my home and got to know the dogs before we needed her. You could tell the dogs liked her right away (my pups are a little picky about who they like). Then she let us know when she was coming and sent pictures of the dogs - every day - many pictures. It made being away just a little easier. I will use her again, for dog sitting, as well as doggie daycare!

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.

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...

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

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

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!

Seriously, the best kennel on the island. Everyone is so helpful and sweet. Our 2 dogs have so much fun every time. Great for short trips and long adventures.

I've been a customer for almost 10 years. Jim does a great job and takes my dog's care very seriously. Huge outdoor kennels. They also accommodate special diets and let me store marrow bones in their freezer when I board my dog. Nice people!
