I stayed at Leah's in the autumn season. Her home is in a beautiful, quiet area of Connecticut for those who want to relax and enjoy the beautiful greenery and stone walls and steps on the property. One must love dogs as her pets are people dogs who are very loving and want to be near you. Leah's property is great to let the dogs roam and play freely and take them for walks behind the house.
We were excited to find Jasmine's sit while we were looking for alternative lodging after a bad airbnb experience. We met Jasmine before the sit and it was clear that she has the caring and welcoming spirit of the THS community. There is nothing quite like a homey, comfortable sit with a big cat personality like Miso. He's such a curious cat, who loves hanging out on the patio or closer to the AC when things got too hot outside. He came for his daily ear scratches and loved being by my side when drinking an early morning coffee. The bed was comfy, the patio cozy and the AC ideal for a humid July summer in Montreal. Thank you Jasmine and Miso!! Hope to keep in touch.

Beware, these two don’t seem to like dogs or have the temperament to handle them. We were looking to board our dogs while we went away on a trip. Went to drop them off and our timid dog was a bit cautious. The woman and man appeared to be in a rush. He rushed over to our dog and put the choke collar on him and told me to take off his harness and collar. He proceeded to yank our dog by his neck and our dog continued to refuse to go with him. I asked him to stop and he continued even as I tried to take the leash out of his hand. I asked him if I could walk our dog down to the kennel area and the woman said “no it will make it worse. We know what we are doing ma’am.” Finally after multiple pleas for him to stop choking our dog he got mad and walked off saying he didn’t want to watch the dog anyway. These two do not seem to like dogs or know how to handle them. They also do not want to listen to people about their own dogs. Glad we ultimately didn’t leave our dogs with them.
We have been customers for over three years. Nalowinds is very safe terrific for dogs of all sizes. Owner, Bonnie, understands dogs and their healthcare. Great price considering all the extras. To learn more, I suggest telephoning Bonnie.
Bonnie & Wayne & NaloWinds Kennels are wonderful. They are caring and skilled, and provided safe, clean, comfortable accommodations for my dog. I needed to board my large dog, who is fear reactive and has trust issues with people, while I had surgery. Bonnie asked questions that made me realize she understands dogs and would be able to board my dog. The day I dropped my dog off, Wayne showed the confidence around her that showed she would be safe. My recovery from surgery was complicated and I needed my dog to be boarded over twice as long as planned, and they were able to accommodate her. The day I picked my dog up I was able to watch as Wayne walked her up from the kennels. My dog walked comfortably on the lead beside Wayne. My dog receive excellent care. I would give NaloWinds Kennels & Bonnie & Wayne highest stars and recommendations to anyone who needs to kennel their dog.
I recently kenneled my four Rottweilers at The Nalowinds Kennel in Waimanalo. They were here for a total of nine days in April 2014. Bonnie and Wayne took very good care of my animals and I am extremely satisfied with their facility and their service. I will using them again next month. They washed my dogs for me which I did not expect but appreciated. I would recommend Nalowinds without any reservations whatsoever.
Don't ever leave your pets with these people, check out Yelp review before you decide. You can never be too careful with your pet. Beware of the owners, they are not animal lovers, all they see are dollar signs. When we dropped off our dogs that morning, the male (Wayne) took out a choke chain and drag our dogs away. Sadly it was too late for us to find another kennel because our flight was within hours. When we picked up our dogs a week later, their fur came off by chunks. We learned later it was due to extreme stress. What's more? They do not welcome friends or family members to visit pets trapped in their hands, saying they need at least 6 to 24 hours notice. What's the big deal unless they have something to hide??!!
Warning to people who think this is a good place with your animals, think again! Don't let the 4 - 5 star reviews FOOL you. We were introduced to this boarding kennel by our vet (Makai Animal Clinic) and thought maybe these people could be trusted with our four dogs, so we boarded them for a week. We brought our own food, toys & favorite blankets & were promised by Bonnie & Wayne that our dogs would be in "good hands". They seemed nice and sincere and asked for payment in advance. The dogs were so happy to see us when we picked them up a week later but I could see the sadness in their eyes. When we patted them, all of their hairs came off by chunks. We didn't think of anything then but we learned later that it was due to extreme stress. By the time we all got home, all 4 dogs rushed to their water bowl and started drinking & drinking and drinking for 5 - 6 minutes. We just can't believe how thirsty they were!!! How could people running a kennel NOT providing enough water to the poor animals trapped in their hands? Bonnie & Wayne's rates were not cheap by any matter of means but they simply did not want to waste their time or water to spray the kennels. The best solution was to restrict animal's water supply. How cruel & inhumane! These people were definitely NOT animal lovers, all they see are dollar signs. To all pet owners: Since your animals can't talk, you need to be EXTRA CAREFUL. The Operator/Owner may seemed nice but you never knew what's inside of them. I see all these people rating them 5 stars, hello! Only if your pet could talk then you will know the truth.
If you're looking for a place to board your dog look no further!!! Awesome place, huge yard for your dog to get exercise, air conditioned kennel with raised beds so your dog isn't laying on the concrete.... Awesome people, we know our dog is safe when we're away 🐕 …
Bonnie has been "Aunty" to many of my dogs, currently my 2 gentle giants, George and Grace. The care is wonderful and the exercise yard is a bonus for my Irish Wolfhounds. They know and love dogs.
I boarded my puppy there once before now and would not board him anywhere else!! The facilities are clean and well maintained. I love the location, the cost is affordable and the owners/operators are friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.
I was very pleased with their responsiveness and apparent caring for my dog.
Keiko was amazing in taking care of our two cats. Not only are her services reasonably priced, but she genuinely cares for the animals she is entrusted with. She sent updates and videos during their stay, and they had a large clean kennel to stay in and we're very happy. I wish I had found her sooner!!
I love this boarding place! I had a stressful situation when fumigating my home. Keiko was so warm and flexible. I strongly recommend you use her services. And she totally gets the cats!
This is the best place you can leave your cat if you are going off island. Kei truly loves cats. I have a pandemic rescue kitty who is extremely shy and scared of humans but Kei has taken good care of her more than once. She follows all specific directions and monitors your cat closely to make sure they stay healthy. Her kennels have alot of space. Her prices are affordable. She goes above and beyond to make your cat comfortable.
I previously used Keiko to board my late Patches, a senior cat that needed subq fluids several times a week. Glad to have found Keiko as there are limited boarding facilities that would perform this. She has a dedicated area inside her home with multiple enclosures for kitties to stay. She made the whole process easy and rest assured. One of her neighbors assists when needed and another neighbor is my colleague, so I feel more at ease.
I don't think I'd trust my Emma any where but with Aunty Kei... She is so warm and welcoming and truly patient with all her cats. Our Emma is very shy as we found her as a kitten near the free way in my place of work, and has difficulties opening up to strangers. Thank you for making Emma a part of your cat Ohana Aunty Kei
So happy to have found Keiko. Absolutely reassuring and caring. My kitty is in very good hands when we board her. Probably more interesting for her with other felines around.
She fostered our kitties when we were stuck in the hotel for a month and they were very well taken care of. She was very nice, would absolutely board with her again.
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!
