Pet Sitters in Naalehu, HI

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.

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! …

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.

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

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.

We had the best experience at Pau Hana pet! Our dogs are not the easiest or smallest buddies to care for. Pau Hana pet worked with my family & dog’s personalities to ensure they felt loved & most importantly safe while we we on a two weeks vacation. I am sooo thankful for there support and business. We had peace of mind the entire trip with updates throughout the week. Highly recommended!!

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. :-)

My large dogs have been coming here for years, and Max and Mya have always taken the best care of them. They always send pictures of my happy pups while I'm gone. Canʻt thank them enough for the piece of mind knowing the dogs are in good hands.

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.

I had to go to mainland and boarded my 3 fur babies here. Was only supposed to be a month. Things happen I was delayed in returning home. Eric was absolutely amazing, he reassured me my boys would be taken care of till I could get back. I would definitely recommend him to anyone for any length of time. My dogs are all happy healthy and have been taken care. If I ever need to board my boys again I will only be taking them to pampered pooch. Mahalo again Eric.

Eric is awesome and was so attentive to my cat. I've used his services 3xs now and found them affordable, very clean and excellent. He has a large cat room with lots of ladders for them to enjoy and lots of large kennels for dogs in his facility. He also texted me pics and vids of my cat while I was away 😻😻😻 Highly recommend! …

Wow! So, I know there are not that many reviews for this business right now (5 at the time of this writing) but they are all 5-stars. I called to ask if they had openings for a certain time period. Eric asked me what time I would be dropping off. I responded that it didn't matter to me that day whenever in his open hours. Most people would have then just suggested a time that works for them since I was open to any time. Nope. What happened next was Eric, got real rude. Raised his voice saying, "It may not MATTER TO YOU but IT MATTERS TO ME! I'm not going to sit around here all day waiting for you!" It was then I realized that there was something wrong and there was no way I was going to leave my animals with someone that thought speaking to someone disrespectfully was normal. I also realized, he was telling me that he doesn't want to wait there with the animals he is supposed to be watching & caring for during his own business hours. I love my pets too much to ignore the warning signs. Even if he doesn't like people he should understand that pet owners love their pets and they are entrusting their pets to him. They need to feel they're safe with him. Would you leave your child with someone yelling on the phone? Just think about that! I'm not going to do less for my pets than I would my children. Hopefully, he learns from this and treats people with the same respect they show to him.

We love Pampered pooch pet hotel! Our three Dogs always looking forward and excited to stay in here. Eric is the best and my three dogs love him. I highly recommend Pampered pooch Pet Hotel! Thank You for taking good care of our fur babies.

Great place Wonderful energy and aloha spirit for your animal to be The service was kind and hospitable The facilities were neat and well structured Will gladly recommend pampered Pooch boarding

This business never ceases to amaze me. Quality service, spacious kennels, competitive prices, and caring staff. Every time I leave my dogs here when I return they are returned to me as happy as can be.

Pampered pouch has very reasonable prices. Everytime we're out of town, We drop off our dogs in here. We recommend This place!

So far only have experienced making a reservation and it was great. The price is really great too.

Clean and friendly Pet hotel. Eric is super nice and loves animals.

Very exceptional Veterinary

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.

If I could give Laurel more stars, I'd give her 100!! My husband and I purchased our first German Shepherd puppy from this breeder. We were nervous to make such a big financial commitment to a breeder (or puppies from a breeder) we've never personally met. However, after 30 minutes of thorough details about the puppies she produces and the quality of their pedigree, there was an unexplainable peace that I felt after our conversation that prompted me to submit our deposit to hold our place in line. The most difficult part was the wait. We waited almost a year to finally have our precious puppy in our hands. THE WAIT IS WORTH IT. Our puppy was shipped from the Big Island to Oahu (crate and cargo fees an extra fee) and it was a smooth process to pick her up. Laurel (and her team? I assume there's a team. unless she's super woman, which honestly is very believable after learning how amazing she is at breeding these puppies) began crate training the puppies prior to going to their new homes. Our puppy, Cinnamon, was crate trained for 3 hours. Of course the first night was tough because she was acclimating to a new environment, but the subsequent nights were peaceful and quiet as she laid in her kennel through the night. Fast forward to today, Cinnamon is now a little over 4 months old and she is our super star. We enrolled her in puppy training classes at Petco. She already knew more than half of the commands they were teaching, but we wanted her to get training with distractions as well as the socialization aspect. We quickly learned that: 1, she was intelligent beyond her years, and 2, she played the best with all of the dogs. This includes both timid, and rough/bold puppies. She knew how to turn on and off the "calm". Our 6 year old Beagle/Chihuahua/Terrier mix, Pepper, has gotten moodier in the last 2 years. She does not like energetic puppies getting into her face all the time and has been known to "snap" at other dogs if they get too close (big or small). Cinnamon has been toughing things out and continues to pursue Pepper's heart, but with tenderness and patience. Today was a BIG leap in their relationship as we found them laying in the same kennel sleeping. (They did this all on their own!) Cinnamon has adapted around her and quickly became the "gentle giant." PLEASE keep in mind, we put a lot of time, energy, and resources into training Cinnamon. German Shepherds, although extremely intelligent, require a lot of time, discipline, and rewarding because without a good dog parent, you get uncontrollable children. And GSD are smart. They will learn how to "get around you," if you let them. I'm not just saying all of this to brag about our good girl (even though yes, she is the BEST in our eyes), but also to show that she was bred with extreme care and attention to detail. She makes both a great companion and protector. She is bold, but not aggressive. She is gentle, but not shy. If you are looking for the perfectly balanced German Shepherd Dog, look no further. Alpha K9 Kennels is your last stop (and should be only stop) for a reputable, responsible, and well-educated German Shepherd breeder.

I have kenneled my beloved boxer twice with Alpha K-9 Kennels. Love the staff and the owner . They love their job and take extremely good care of my baby when I am on vacation. I can always rest assured that she will be well taken care of and love while I am away. They also set my pictures and videos of her being walked and played with. Her last stay she had medicine that need to be applied twice daily and tat was taken care of as well . Thank you very much AlphaK-9 kennels,we will definitely be returning ❤️

I’m so happy Laurel was able to fit us in. She answered every phone call and every question we had. We got updates every so often of tippi which helped to ease the stress of leaving our lil baby while we were gone. I recommend alpha k-9 if you’re on the fence.

We boarded our little terrier for 6 nights. Beautiful grounds and peaceful location. We brought her travel kennel so she had a cozy den and favorite toys. The put it in the kennel on a raised pad. The kennel is safe and secure. Each dog has its own large kennel with a cement wall divider. They sent me a video and she looked so happy on her walk. Laurel and staff are so friendly and kind. I felt safe leaving my fur baby with them!

Earlier this year we lost our 13 years old Shepherd. After several months of an empty home, we decided to start our search for a new fur baby. This is when we discovered Alpha K-9 Kennels. Laurel was empathetic to our recent loss and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in guiding us through the process of getting our new fur baby. Laurel and Aloha K-9 Kennels staff kept us abreast of the litter’s growth progress by posting pictures and videos. Laurel was patient with us as we chose our new puppy from the litter and took the time to talk with us and answer our questions. We now consider her a friend! This is our Harley. He is currently 4 months old. Healthy and full of energy. Our home is now full of happy puppy sounds. We highly recommend Alpha K-9 Kennels and will definitely be utilizing their boarding service in the future. Kenn Mitsunaga, Mavis Hirata & Harley

We just received our German Shepherd named Willow from Alpha K-9 Kennels. She does GREAT in her kennel and no accidents ever since she joined our Family. She is honestly So PERFECT!! We are Extremely Grateful and Proud of Her. Thank You So Much Again Laurel for All the Happiness that You've given us over the years with now our third Shepherd from You.

I started the journey to get Nui (a German Shepherd Puppy) from these amazing group of people back in June or July. They are on the Big Island but can ship anywhere, and they keep in touch with you every step of the way. I was having payment issues due to the pandemic and Laurel was sure to work with me on that, and I really appreciated that. The delivery process was so smooth, she ensured that I was notified when she shipped the puppy, and ensured that I got all the information I needed to pick him up. Any questions that’s I asked she was sure to get back with me at her earliest convenience (within the hour) and ensured that everything went smooth. I still ask her for tips on the puppy but all I can say is thank you, I would recommend this breeder to anyone!

We were warmly and pleasantly welcomed by the owner, Laurel, who is very knowledgeable in her animal breeds. We boarded two pets, a dog🐕‍🦺 and a cat 🐈‍⬛ for 7-days. She followed-up with text photos as they settled in their own kennel spaces. We're happy that she was readily available to accomodate our short-planned travel and grateful she is reasonable priced. Will we use her services again in the future? Absolutely!!! Mahalo...🌺🤙🏽

Our boy Leo attended the 14 day board and basic training at Alpha K-9 Kennels. We are so pleased with everything he's learned and the quality of care they provided. Laurel was so nice to communicate with and Eric, Amber, and Storm are fabulous trainers! Would definitely recommend their beautiful estate for boarding and/or training. THANK YOU!

Alpha K-9 Kennels is by far the best that i have experienced. They always take such good care of my german shepherd when I travel. i don't know what i would do without them.

I only spoke to the owner on the phone, but she was SO helpful and knowledgeable. After taking the time to talk to me about what she offers, she asked me about my dog and my situation. It turns out there is a dog daycare that is much closer to my job, and since I'm already commuting, she thought it might make more sense for me. How awesome is that? I wish her kennels made sense for me because I would have dropped my Lucy off there with no hesitations or worry, and will definitely recommend Hilo Kennels to anyone. I was just so impressed with her professionalism and how much she truly cares for the animals. Your dog will be home if you take it here, it's easy to see why they're successful.

It is so awesome to have a safe place for our 3 Chihuahuas to stay while we travel. David & Jenipher love our dogs almost as much as we do. Highly recommend Hilo Kennels!

We have had remarkable RESPONSIVE returning our call also answer my call when i check up on nibbles. RELIABLE with Hilo Kennel for our weekend from waikoloa. Nibbles would stay couple days at a time & very well taken cared of.

Our one and only kennel to use for overnight stay and day care! Dave is really attentive and love my dogs.

So kind and loving to our special needs dog Jeffie .

This kennel is animal loving with a great environment for pets.safe and clean. You may also have them baby sit you your beloved pets.

My dog has been having a wonderful time at Day Camp twice a week. The owners are so kind, caring and knowledgeable.

A happy dog, a happy mom. Real nice place, and clean. People are real nice. My Tilda gets all that energy out of her.

This place is amazing. My dog doesn’t even look back any longer after I drop him off. He knows that he is in for a good day of fun.

David and Jen are great people to watch your dog.

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!
