Pet Sitters in Aiea Heights, HI

The staff at Wags 'n' Wings Hawaii are incredible! I'm so happy I found a place where my pup can make friends with other bigger dogs, but the most important thing I've found is that they truly pay attention to the well-being of the animals. Rya has even implemented 'Water Play Wednesdays' and my pup Nala goes crazy for it!

Wags and Wings is great and having our loved one in their care gave us much peace of mind while we were on our trip. Rya is a very experienced animal caregiver whose love for all feathered and furry beings is super heart warming. This place is awesome.

I love this place! Rya and her husband are amazing and very professional. I felt I could trust her with my fur babies ever since the 1st time I met her. She has a set way of introducing each new client (dog) to the others and if the new guy doesn't pass the tests there's a different approach or the owner has work to do with their baby first. This ensures the safety of all furry ones and humans alike. She has a bird room and from what I hear she's also a very experienced and talented bird rehabber as well. There's something about animal lovers that makes them easier for me to trust and get along with. The whole facility is clean and decorated with the cutest paintings made by her mother. She's really talented! Anyhoo, I highly recommend Wags n Wings if you're looking for a place you can leave your doggie (from 630am to 630pm) and feel safe knowing they're in good hands.

Full AC and have plenty of rooms for different category or needs for your pets and in different levels (split floors) so it’s not just one big area but there’s separation which helps I think with noise management. There’s a Grand Opening Special until the 15th, hopefully more people can see it on their website and social media.

Very glad to have found Wags and Wings for our cat. The owner and staff are very caring and nice people. Our cat and our family felt comfortable. Would recommend.

1 word AWESOME

Leaving our dog for the first time while we went on vacation was really tough for my family and me. We were worried about finding someone we could trust to take care of him. That’s when I came across a place called Furever Friends on social media and thought we’d give them a try. Right from the beginning, their staff was very welcoming and friendly. They quickly answered all our questions, which made us feel much more relaxed. While we were away, they sent us photos and updates about our dog, Chewie. It was such a relief to know he was being well cared for. We’re definitely planning to return and may even send him to daycare just so he can play with other dogs for fun!

Furever Friends is a great place for your furry family to have a staycation while you’re on vacation. We’ve used them for years. Wendy and her team have taken good care of our furry family while we traveled abroad. Conveniently located on Ahua St in the Mapunapuna area on Oahu.

I was a nervous wreck when I had to board my dog for the first time. Furever friends eased all my worries, always sent a reply when I asked for updates. Every photo that was sent showed how much fun my girl was having! I would definitely board with them again! And Denali loved it too!

I had a fantastic experience at Furever Friends Play and Stay. The staff truly cares about the animals and goes above and beyond to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay . The facilities are clean, well-equipped and offering different fun activities providing a welcoming environment for pets of all sizes My fur baby Shelby enjoyed playtime and socialization with other pets. I also appreciated the regular updates and photos sent while I was away, which gave me peace of mind. Overall, Furever Friends Stay and Play is a wonderful place for pet owners looking for quality care. Highly recommended!

My dog loves going to Furever Friends for daycare and boarding. He always has a great time playing with his friends and getting lots of attention. They have many special events and are even available for dog birthday parties. It’s conveniently located near Fort Shafter. They also board cats which is a huge convenience to be able to take both pets to the same place when I need to go out of town.

We love Furever Friends for daycare and boarding. We received updates, photos, and knew that our dog was in good hands while we were away. Communication is easy and consistent and our dog is all smiles when she leaves. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to safely leave your dog.

My Pua always stays at Furever Friends when I am traveling. They take care of him really good and he always happy over there! He is a senior dog and not many boarding place accepts seniors, but Furever Friends always welcomes him. Thank you for making him happy!!

We are so glad we found Furever Friends. Our beagle loves going there. We've used them a couple of times for daycare and once (so far) for a "Staycation". The dogs are so well cared for. The staff I have dealt with have been professional, and caring. It is clear they love dogs. Their rates are reasonable and they are very upfront about the costs.

We’ve entrusted our dog Toby with Alea and her wonderful staff at Furever Friends for over 8-years, for both short and lengthy stays, and continue to appreciate the care, safety and attention they provide to our loving dog/family member.

We had the best experience having our Jack Russell Terrier Lula play and stay at Furever Friends. The kindness of the staff make us feel worry free when we go on vacation. Leaving Lula at Furever Friends feels like leaving her with family who care for her and love her as much as we do! Highly recommend their services!

Avoid this place if at all possible. Both the customer service and pet care was abysmal. Unfortunately, I had to board my dogs here after receiving notice of the death of a family member and needing to fly out within 24 hours. The staff approved my dogs’ vaccination status the day prior to drop off, but gave me conflicting information at drop off and had me sign a waiver for an annual vaccine despite the fact that it was still current. The next day I was asked to pay an additional fee for medication distribution and endured a series of three phone calls with various staff and management where I repeatedly had to explain that the multivitamin chew I had prepackaged with their meals was not prescription medication. Two days later I received two videos of my dogs who had been injured and were actively bleeding. The wounds on their noses had gotten progressively worse from day to day in the videos. Due to their business hours being restricted to 10am-2pm, we had to pay for an additional night as our return flight arrived later in the afternoon. The staff made no attempt to assist us in picking up the dogs outside of that 4-hour window. When I arrived for pick-up no one was able to explain how the dogs got injured, nor did they make any attempt to rectify the issue. We were given no information on how the dogs did while in their care, if they ate, pottied or drank properly. Anytime we were on the facility grounds other boarded dogs barked continuously and aggressively at us and no attempt was made by the staff to make it a hospitable environment for owners or pets. My dogs returned home exhausted, bleeding, dehydrated and hungry. Please avoid risking your pet’s health and safety here.

Nice facilities for boarding my dogs. Very friendly, knowledgeable & caring Staff. Clean facilities & well organized. They sent pictures of my dogs while I was away. My dogs were happy & well cared for when I returned. Looking forward to their new location & facilities in July 2024.

I’ve been stationed here 7+ years, and every time I travel stateside I leave my two dogs here since unfortunately bringing dogs in and out of Hawaii is a tedious process. The staff is super attentive, has great communication, professional, respectful, and accommodating. These kennels have the best price point in comparison to other boarding services on the island and are exclusively available for military. Our dogs always come home happy, and we know they enjoy all the other buddies they meet during their stay. I can’t stress enough how important it is to have a reliable kenneling service. I’ve heard of rover but quite frankly I prefer our dogs staying here because we’ve developed a relationship with the staff who goes above and beyond to care for our pups.

Dropped off our 2 pets, a 14 month old German Shepherd and a 12 year old cockapoo on 9 December. No health issues ever presented with either dog, both dogs had been housed here before. Received a phone call around 1500 on Thursday evening, the 12th of December that our German Shepherd had received a scratch on his nose due to trying to get at the dog in the kennel next to his and that they had been fighting. No other mentions of issues at that time, no concern or mention of further need for treatment simply an informative call. Received a phone call at 0700 on Friday morning that our 14 month German Shepherd was found dead. Was informed by the manager of the kennel that called that they would be paying for a necropsy to determine cause of death. Receive a text message an hour later from the manager, that they could not pay for the necropsy, but would take us to whatever facility we'd like to dispose of the remains/perform necropsy if we choose to do so at our cost. The misinformation after relaying our healthy german shepherd had died while in their care was unfortunate at that point. The kennel not having anyone on duty through the night to keep watch of the dogs is another issue of angst. The necropsy revealed a mesentric torsion was the cause of death. This can be treated if recognized and caught. Due to the time to death from beginning of this issue, and the time of the phone call you can easily assume the dog was already in stress and need of help whenever they had initially noticed something wrong with him. No follow up was done though, and again not having staff there overnight led to our pup dying in extreme, recognizable pain and alone. I have zero doubt in my mind whatsoever that our dog would still be alive if he had been at a different kennel and that's my fault. I will live with that choice for a long time.

Having just moved to the island, finding a place for my fur-baby to be taking care of, is essential. My husband & I left for a 4 day trip to the mainland and left our golden retriever in their care. My husband was skeptical as there was no air conditioned boarding and ALL kennels were outside in the heart with no beds or proper air flow. At the end of our trip as we were about to board our plane, we received a phone call and were told that we need to pick our dog up immediately. We explained that we weren’t on island and wouldn’t be until 4pm. The expressed that that they “didn’t care” and he needed to be picked up due to potential outbreak of kennel cough. Thankfully, we found someone to pick up our boy and noticed that he indeed have an intense cough. Took him to the vet and he tested positive for canine influence as well as another dog that was boarding at the same time as ours. This is the first reported case of canine influenza on the island of Oahu in 10 years despite my dog having the proper vaccinations as per our vet. Our vet explained that canine influenza can also be caused by unsanitary and unkept conditions. When we came home, we found maggots within our dog’s food container that we took to the kennel as well. Our previously healthy pup is now struggling and we also had to throw $90 food away despite an air tight container (never happened in our home). DO NOT RECOMMEND this kennel at all. Please do better!

Great place and people, my 100lb fur baby had a great experience. Standard kennel is perfect size with a nice private room partition at the rear. The kennel had an open section in the front that took up 80% of the kennel. The back 20% is a little room that has the fence covered to make it dark and comfortable. They have elevated outdoor rated beds and large stainless steel water bowls. Make sure your food container has a rubber seal, don't ignore this requirement. Great price and environment for you family member.

I had to ship my dog 3 weeks early to the island. The entire three weeks was full of panic hoping whoever was taking care of her was being nice to her. Once I picked her up and met Mallory and Dawn I immediately felt at ease and peaceful. My big girl was so good. I worried she would lose weight from the stress and anxiety and not eating. But she was as healthy as can be. And loved being pet by the staff. They were so friendly and forthcoming with information over the phone and in person. I will 100% be hiring them again and 100% recommend this establishment to anybody on the island in need of boarding. I am so pleased with this kennel.

Very friendly service, but seems a bit overpriced for fairly austere outdoor kennel runs. There were no beds for pets, just concrete floors. We brought mats for our pets. The Large Runs are decent sized and have a smaller privacy area for the dogs. Dogs have ok shade, but definitely can be very hot - especially for families with pets that spend most of times indoors. Staff is only on site for a few hours each day as well, and means pets are left unattended in kennels. They do let the dogs out to run in bigger area between kennels which is good. The location is also fairly hidden, behind a bunch of maintained/ grown over kennels owned/operated by the Hawaii State Animal Quarantine site.

Reasonably priced, staff is always super friendly. They remembered our dog from almost 2 years ago. Love that they let the dogs out to interact with each other. When we drive up, our dogs are always super excited, as soon as we pull down the driveway they start getting excited. We've been able to get last minute reservations with no problems.

Amazing pet care. The employees show true connection with my dogs every time I bring them. You can make reservations within a 3 month window, and the rates are reasonable. I have been using this kennel since we first moved here in 201. We're back now, and this is still my go to kennel! I highly recommend it!

They take care of your pet as if it was their own. My dog always leaves there with a smile on his face

Best price on the island for kennelling your dogs for the price. Just ensure that you have them washed while you are away, at least once right before pickup, it is a dusty area, and the excellent staff ensures that they get lots of outside play time.

I hated kenneling my pups, but MWR was very kind and were able to accommodate my request the night before I needed them to be boarded they are very professional and I love that they are shaded and have a cool place they can go in the back of the kennel if they get hot! I also loved being able to go see them every single day and bring treats and toys and take them out to play :) my pups were very happy here

It was well ran and very organized. Our pets were taken care of and treated kindly.

We left via AMC and they took great care of our dogs.

One of the best hidden gems of Oahu! The employees are fantastic and very helpful!

Great place for military pet owners.

The Dogwalker Etc. experience is AWESOME! 🤩 from start to finish, everything was perfect! We love the portal where the Dogwalker posts pictures, writes notes, records on multiple topics (poop, per, water refill, meds administered etc). SO AMAZING!! The meet-n-greet the day before was easy to do and hardly took any time at all. The staff know what they’re doing and are friendly- super easy to work with! 10 outta 10 recommend !! 🙌

Loved them while we had a walker for our area in Aiea. Then he moved off island and they don’t have enough staff( look online it appears they have plenty but I’d say that’s very very inaccurate). 5 star for his care during short time we had him. Negative -1 for not having a replacement and/ or viable option and time offering needed.

We love the staff and people at Dog Walking Etc. They are all so genuinely great with our dog. I especially like the fact that when we board our dog, he stays at the host’s home and not a kennel. He gets to interact with the host family and pets. They all go walking and playing together which he loves and I like getting daily updates with pictures. We initially used DWE to have our dog walked weekly along with weekly field trips. He gets so excited as he waits for his outings. When his walker arrives, he gets super excited. See picture below on how he greets his walker. When he’s done and returned home, he is one happy and tired dog which is exactly what our German Shepard needs. We are so happy to have found DWE.

Don’t let the name fool you! If you’re looking for a cat sitter look no further than Dogwalker etc!! We are so grateful to have Erin and her awesome team of cat lovers for our two babies Stiker and Goldie. It’s clear that the company loves all animals but we felt very confident in their abilities for cats specifically. We traveled recently for spring break and had the Dog Walker team come in twice a day every day for two weeks. They did everything from cleaning & feeding to playtime to grooming and also taking care of our house too. We came back and found everything better than we left it. Thank you so much to Dogwalker etc and the whole team!

I highly recommend dog walker etc! =D It’s hard to leave my guy and go to work but it’s so nice when I get a photo in the middle of the day of him having fun with Katie. Thank you guys!!

I’ve used dogwalker etc a few times for their dog walking services and dog sitting when we went on trips. It’s such a great service, they handle my difficult terriers (terrors) very well and the owner even came out once to assist the sitter with learning how to manage my dog. Coming from someone who has been turned away from doggy daycare, this was greatly appreciated!!! My dogs are very high energy, and intelligent, hence why I need a service. I also felt very comfortable leaving the island in this companies care, we got updates daily with photos, which is a nice touch. I will use this service again for sure.

We hired Ruth from Dogwalkers to doggie sit our fur baby while we were in Japan. We were super nervous since this was the first time leaving her with a stranger and we were out of country. Ruth is THE BEST. Rachael, the owner walked me through the process, gathered info and matched us up with Ruth. Ruth also came highly recommended by our neighbors. Our fur baby is very shy, so we hired Ruth to walk her before our trip to become familiar with Ruth. Ruth writes great detailed reports and the service includes daily photos which is great and comforting. Ruth even took out our trash bin and recycle bin and played with our fur baby. They really bonded. Ruth is great with animals. Ruth and Dogwalkers are pretty flexible about told return date in case of flight delays so your fur baby won’t be left hanging by themselves. We will definitely hire Ruth for future trips!

I have used Dogwalker ETC! on two different occasions and have been very happy with their service. The daily communication between the caregiver and pet owner is excellent. The staff are very professional and trustworthy. I felt at ease immediately after meeting the two people assigned to watch my pets and highly recommend this company and these wonderful, caring people.

When we took a trip in 2019, we needed someone to take care of our little girl for about 10 days. We found the perfect people who took excellent care of her! Misha was about 5 years old and this would be the first time we would be away for that length of time. Of course, we were concerned and apprehensive about how she would adjust in our absence. To our delight, she loved being with the dog sitter! The sitter would email videos of her daily activities and this gave us great comfort seeing her so content and happy. The personnel are so caring and genuine in making sure that your furry child is given the best care and they are also very professional. Highly recommended to entrust your dog in their care.

We used Dogwalker Etc for 9 days while away on a trip. Our girl was well taken care of, Ms. Sharee did an excellent job spending time and writing solid reports on how our dog was doing in our absence. I met Sharee before our trip and felt at ease with her. I explained to her all that was required, (you also write care instructions on their web portal) and we walked the usual route with my girl. I warned Sharee of all the neighborhood dogs that are possibly hostile and have broke off their leash in the past. I also warned Sharee that my dog could slide out of her collar (she's done so in the past) so beware of that, and that also my dog has bolted out of the house and went straight to the neighbor's dog that they keep tied up in the yard which I've been very leery of becoming unhinged at a blink of an eye. It can be nerve-wracking to leave your home and your pet to someone you just met, but Sharee was very professional and had been with the company for a long time so that put my mind at ease. Also, our dog is very strong, and I was a little worried that she would pull too hard down our stairs for someone unaccustomed to handling a larger dog, but Sharee has had a lot of experience with many types of dogs, and I felt confident that our girl was no issue for her. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and they are trustworthy. I will definitely use them again in the future.

We love Richard. He is so knowledgeable about dogs because he was a veterinarian technician before he opened his doggie daycare. My little doggie gets all excited when he knows he’s going to see Richard and his doggie friends ♥️

Richard and his wife are amazing. We were going on a trip and needed boarding for Molly, who was just a pup. To be honest, I was a hesitant because it’s so expensive! This is true with boarding in general, not specific to Barks and Purrs. Molly went for a trial stay and she passed the test. We left for our two week vacation and returned to a very happy dog. Richard and his wife took such good care of her. You could just tell by the way she was interacting with them. They gave us all the updates on her activities and behaviors. Worth every penny. Would not hesitate one second to hire Richard and his wife to care for Molly while we are away.

Barks and Purrs has been a five star experience for my very senior dog, Latté and me. When I pick her up after work she is always relaxed and content after a day of socializing and TLC. Richard's knowledge and rich experience in veterinary medicine and pet handling is reassuring - he knows exactly what to do if there's an emergency and is qualified to offer helpful advice and therapeutic services. The location is convenient with ample parking. Thank you, Barks and Purrs, for a big improvement in my dog's overall condition!

I was going to be out of town for a couple of weeks and was hesitant to board my epileptic dog in a vet kennel for that long but at the same time didn't want to pay so much for each dose of my dog's medications for other pet sitters. After weighing all of the options on Oahu (and Maui), I decided on Barks and Purrs and definitely felt this was the best decision for my dog. Having worked in a veterinary environment, Richard was very comfortable with my dog's condition and send me very detailed text with the time, duration, symptoms, and post-seizure behavior of my dog, giving me the peace of mind I needed while out of town. He also let our kids visit her while we were out of town which was very accommodating of him. My dog made new dog friends and was in great hands with Richard and his wife, and she is even a little better behaved after being socialized with his "pack." Thank you, Barks and Purrs!

Richard is awesome! He provides a safe and secure place for dogs. Our 9 month old puppy loves it here and we pick her up happy and tired! We're really glad to have found Barks and Purrs.

We chose Barks and Purrs once we found out it was operated by Richard. He used to work for our vet and took care of our cats and dogs. He genuinely cares for all animals and has a calming animal whisperer personality- definitely recommend as we are truly happy with his services and our dogs are well cared for.

Excellent care for your pet! I feel our dog gets a vacation. I think some folks use the day care services just because the environment is good for the pet. Tip: Plan ahead. They are always super busy.

Our dogs stay was beyond what we could have imagined. We brought our dog over for surgery from Kauai. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, our dog needed to stay an additional week longer than planned. Richard was amazing. Not only did he allow for our dog to stay with zero hesitation, He messaged us photos and communicated daily knowing both our dog and our family missed one another. Richards wife even came to give our dog more love and attention. We are forever grateful. 🐾💙

We can’t say enough about how much we love Barks and Purrs! We have used both the boarding and doggie day care services. We currently have two rescue dogs and Richard did a miraculous job socializing them to get along with each other and with other dogs! I would highly recommend Barks and Purrs to all my family and friends!!

This place is a very clean and nice cozy place. Richard is very helpful and kind to our cat. When I first walked in to the place, I was surprised that I didn't smell any pet store type of odor even though there were many dogs. He kept the place very clean. We were so impressed. My cat is not a easy cat, but Richard can handle magically. This place is very reliable so we will definitely come back!!
