I have known Kellie for several years and we had the honor of working together as teachers. She has a background as a Special Education teacher and is incredibly compassionate and innovative. She is also a true animal lover. She doesn't just walk my (very difficult to walk) senior dog, but takes him on mini adventures to the coffee shop and sends lots of photos and updates. I have used several services in the past, but no one has given the peace of mind Kellie does. I love the time and care she puts into each visit. When she told me she was starting a pet sitting business, it was a relief as there really is a void of quality pet sitters in Honolulu. Mahalo nui, Kellie! Aloha, Kate and Spunky

We have a large female German Shepherd (who has a very small circle of trust) and a small Pomeranian, and they are wonderful with both--patient, attentive, and clearly experienced with different personalities and needs. They always show up exactly when they say they will, which gives us total peace of mind. After every visit, they send photos and updates, and it's obvious they spend quality time playing with our dogs and making sure they are comfortable, cared for, and happy. It's not easy to find someone you can fully trust with your pets, especially when anxiety is involved, but Dogwalker Etc. consistently goes above and beyond. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable, compassionate pet care.

I learned so much about my dogs just from the original assessment. I now take my dogs there for day care, grooming and boarding. The dogs were reactive to other dogs before I started taking them and the socialization with other dogs and handlers has helped them so much. Now they are protective, not reactive, which is what I want. All the staff are wonderful and make the transfer easy and most importantly the dogs jump in the car to go and are happy when we get there. One of my dogs I had to manhandle to get in the car previously. Thats not easy with a muscled 45 pound dog!

Looking for a place to have your precious pets watched while your gone. We were too. If your in…read moreKaimuki or somewhere on the east side this may just work for you. We just had a short trip outerisland, but couldn't bring our fir babies. Usually the parents or a friend can watch out pups, but not this time around. We called around and found it very challenging, almost like sending a toddler to daycare for the first time, they need vet records and a company to vouch that your pup isn't crazy and dangerous to others. We called these folks and they were very friendly and made it as easier to request vet records and willing to do trial run overnight to see how our dogs would do. We drove down and it's a little confusing to find, but basically aim for Salz Lock and Safe, pull into their parking and continue to the chain link fence and you'll see it mountain side. We met the couple that takes care of the fur babies. They were very welcoming and most importantly our dogs sixth sense accepted them right away. Their tails kept wagging, which made us feel better. Our dogs actually shake when we go to the vet and tail down, between the legs. We provided food for the morning, leashes and harness and that's it. They recommended not bring the beds because other dogs might mark them, since it's not a kennel environment. They can walk freely in the rooms and act like they do at home. We left them overnight and we're ready for a phone call, but no complaints came. Then in the morning we went to pick them up. On arrival the couple were still their smiling with our pups. Our dogs seemed happy with their tails wagging. They reported back to us how the dogs did and everything went well. I would recommend Barks and Purrs, because they genuinely seem to care for our dogs. Our dogs were happy and we felt safe to have them watched there.

Can't ask for a better location, just drop off your baby, and you can access the highway nearby heading either east or west. Richard is fantastic, very knowledgeable and he has such a way with animals. My little pupster gets super excited when we get there and now when I say "doggie daycare" he starts running around in circles and heads to the car, ready to go. He always looks forward to going to visit Richard and his furry friends. He comes home absolutely wore out. He wolfs down his dinner and then sprawls out on the floor to sleep. Richard is flexible with scheduling and very responsive and communicative. They also offer bathing services on site which you can avail yourself to while your fur baby stays in their care. I send my pup 2 days a week so that he gets much needed socialization and I get peace of mind knowing he's in capable hands.

The day that we picked up Izzy from the breeder, we texted Natalie on the way home and she met us in less than an hour after introducing Izzy to her new home. Izzy's training began immediately, and I could tell that she adored Natalie and paid attention to EVERYTHING she said and did. We've since had additional training sessions and day outings. Izzy sees a HUGE benefit from every minute spent with Barkhaus. We will happily continue, and I would recommend them to anyone living in town. Super happy!
