Our furbaby's happy place…read more We've been bringing our 4-year-old, 10 lb Pomeranian/Yorkie mix to Aloha Dog for 3 years now, and it's truly become his second home. What started as a search for a groomer turned into a weekly daycare routine, plus home boarding whenever we travel, and we couldn't be happier. Naoko does an amazing job with grooming every 7-8 weeks. Our furbaby always comes home looking adorable and feeling fresh. But what really sets Aloha Dog apart is how much they genuinely care. The staff is so kind and gentle with him, and he absolutely loves going. Anytime we say, "Do you want to go to daycare?" he gets ridiculously excited and it's the highlight of his week! For home boarding, they take the dogs to daycare during the day and bring them home with them at night to sleep in their house. No kennels & no stress, just a cozy, loving environment. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he's being treated like family while we're away. Booking is super easy via call or email, and they're always responsive and accommodating. Aloha Dog is run by genuinely great people who love what they do, and it shows in every interaction. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, happy, and loving place for their dog!

Wanted to give him the opportunity to socialize with other dogs so enrolled him in Aloha Dog. Cried the first time we dropped him off but the friendly staff, live video feed on social media, and doggy birthday parties convinced us that this was just the place for him. He's always so happy to head over to Aloha Dog and we suspect he loves the friendly staff more than us. They also offering grooming services and overnight boarding. Thank you Aloha Dog for all that you do!!!!

Dogs just want to have fun…read more My bichon really enjoys this place. When I pull up to the driveway he can't wait to get inside. That's because he has other dogs to play with. And it's really assuring know they separate the big dogs from the small ones. Because my bichon would be attacking all the huskies in larger dogs. :) The staff post pics online sometimes throughout the stay. Overall five stars. He enjoys it there and I enjoy picking him up. Because he goes to sleep right after. M

The exterior of the building looks a little rough but it's to be expected since it is located in an industrial area but it's perfect for me as I work less then .5 miles away. Don't judge by the exterior, it's a great business and great doggy daycare you can bring your baby to and trust they are taken care of. My pup comes home so happy and exhausted from playing all day.

If I could imagine an ideal dog haven, Paw Patch would be it with daily hikes, other socialized…read moredogs, a free range yard, a doggie playground, and a loving care taker. I feel so blessed that I found paw patch and my dogs can go to stay there while i go off island on vacation. Before committing to Paw Patch, there was an initial a meet and greet and screening for both of my dogs. I appreciate getting updates and beautiful photos of my dogs daily. They looked like they were having a great experience. I was able to bring my older dog her blanket from home and she slept on it. Sara did not require them to be in a kennel overnight. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing I did not have to worry about my fur babies. Since my initial experience, I plan to bring them there whenever I need it and my life with my dogs is that much more enjoyable knowing that if I do need to leave them they are well cared for. Thay been there multiple times and a wonderful experience every time!

We recently left our 15 year old senior dog with Sara, and we honestly could not be happier with…read morethe experience. Our dog is very skittish, nearly completely deaf, and usually prefers to keep to herself. She does not play much and is slow to warm up to new people or environments. Sara welcomed her in with patience and care, and within just a couple of days we were shocked in the best way. Sara was sending us photos of our dog playing with other dogs, running around, interacting with people, and genuinely having fun. This is completely out of character for her. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, Sara went above and beyond by giving our dog her own Christmas stocking filled with treats and toys. That extra thought meant a lot to us. When we picked her up, our dog was kissing Sara nonstop, which she almost never does. My wife even noticed that she whimpered when it was time to leave, like she did not want to go. Seeing that kind of bond and change in our dog was incredible. Sara truly brought out the best in our senior dog. We will absolutely be using her services again, and honestly, we think our dog had a better vacation than we did. Highly recommend Sara. She is amazing!

I can't recommend Mokupini Paws enough! I have two pug sisters who have grown up together since…read morebirth. Earlier this year, they started having more frequent squabbles that escalated to the point where they were physically hurting each other. It became overwhelming and difficult to manage. I reached out to several training facilities, but many of them were hesitant to take my dogs because of how far things had escalated. Thankfully, Brandon at Mokupini Paws was willing to help. We enrolled in a month-long board and train program, and it made such a difference. At the handoff, Brandon walked me through all of the commands they had learned and how to use them at home. I was amazed at how obedient they were, while still keeping their fun personalities. Brandon is so committed to their growth and development, and his gentle way of leading them made the whole experience so positive and easy. The biggest change has been how much calmer and easier they are to live with. Walks used to be stressful--they would bark and pull on the leash whenever we passed other dogs. Now, they may whimper a little, but they stay under control and don't react like before. Playing with them, taking them out, and introducing them to other dogs and people has become so much more enjoyable. I'm so grateful to Brandon and the Mokupini Paws team for helping restore peace and making life with my pugs not just manageable, but fun again!

I can't say enough good things about Mokupuni Paws. From the very first introduction, I could tell…read morethey truly care about both dogs and their people. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and professional, especially Brandon. Brandon never raised his voice and always remained calm and collected. He made the whole process enjoyable and stress-free. I can tell he truly enjoys what he does. If you're looking for results, clear guidance, and people who genuinely care, this is the place. I highly recommend working with Brandon and Mokupuni Paws, you won't be disappointed. Actually... maybe a little disappointment, because my dog might actually like Brandon more than me now!

It helped getting daily pictures and updates on him while I was gone (including one of Cooper sleeping on the bed!), and upon returning, he seemed to be doing great! Tara gave Cooper a bath before I picked him up - this alone was worth the price I paid for boarding him! For a 25 pound dog, he's kinda like Cujo in the bathtub! I'm not sure if I should be incredibly grateful or apologetic to Tara for that, but Cooper came home happy, healthy, clean and so very soft! Great for all the snuggles once we got home!

We've used Island Dog Obedience for both their regular board and train and their service dog board…read moreand train for our two Australian shepherds, and their services have been life changing. The difference in recall alone is worth it. Our dogs come back reliably now, which is something we struggled with for a long time on our own. Their overall behavior improved across the board too, not just the specific things we went in wanting to fix. Raya is the reason this works. She is the real deal. She's incredibly responsive, and she sends updates throughout the training so you're never left wondering how your dog is doing. The videos she sends also provide instruction for you as the dog owner. She clearly cares about every dog that comes through, and it shows in the results. What sets her apart, though, is that she doesn't disappear when the program ends. She's still there for us, giving advice on how to keep the training going at home, answering questions, and helping us hold onto the progress. That kind of ongoing support is rare and it makes all the difference for us to keep up the training at home. If your dog needs real help, go see Raya. There's no one we would trust our dogs with more!

If you're reading the reviews trying to decide, let me save you some time -- you're in the right…read moreplace. Island Dog Obedience is AMAZING. Kristi is truly one of a kind My boyfriend and I came to her desperate for help with our new pup, Kona, who struggled with severe anxiety. He was scared of pretty much everything -- people, new environments, being separated from us -- and we were also dealing with barking, basic obedience, and some unwanted behaviors. After just 4 sessions, the transformation has been unbelievable. Today was our final session, and I honestly wish I had a video of how Kona used to be so people could truly understand how far he's come. At the beginning, he wouldn't even go up to Kristi and was extremely hesitant and fearful whenever she took the leash. Now? He confidently walks up to her on his own terms -- calm, trusting, and self-assured. That alone speaks volumes. Kristi didn't just train Kona -- she guided us on how to train him the right way. She's patient, knowledgeable, supportive, and truly cares about both the dog and the owners. She sets you up for success, but it's important to note that the progress comes from continuing the work at home too -- and her guidance made that possible for us. We are beyond grateful for Kristi and everything she's done for our pup. If you're dealing with anxiety, fear, or behavioral issues and want real results, Island Dog Obedience is 100% worth it. I cannot recommend her enough!

They both have very thick coats, and needed a lot of love on their fur. They have completely made my dogs look so fresh and clean, from a bunch of knots and tangles, to the softest, most pawfect coats. I can tell my doggies feel more comfortable and were so happy when they were home. It was so cute how they even were goofy with putting wigs on my dogs at the end. So cute and I appreciate how understanding they were on the help I needed. I will be coming back again, it's not easy to find a place that does well with such big furry babies and happy with the results. Thank you thank you thank you live love pets!!!

Follow-Up Review This is a follow-up review we did not want…read moreto have to make. This is not the response we were expecting from the owner, Alex. Unfortunately, rather than an apology or accountability, we were met with personal attacks. We were called hoarders, accused of being uncaring pet owners, and labeled dishonest. These accusations were hurtful and unprofessional. Support of Expansion We want to clarify that we have never been unsupportive of her business expansion. As an entrepreneur myself, I genuinely celebrate growth within our local community. Supporting local businesses is especially important here in Hawaii. Our concern was never about expansion it was about a personal invasion of privacy that made us uncomfortable and unable to maintain trust within our home. Passport & Privacy We have video surveillance showing that more than just the back of a passport was visible. The passport was opened and viewed. Regardless of intent, a passport is a private legal document containing sensitive personal information. It does not pertain to dog walking services and should not be handled or examined by a service provider. Refrigerator & Freezer Our surveillance also shows our refrigerator and freezer being opened unnecessarily. A personal food item fell out, was used to cool down her face, and then placed back into our freezer. There were no personal ice packs present only our food items. This was unexpected and inappropriate. "Hoarding" Comment We appreciated that chewed items were removed that day when our dog chewed up his slow feeder bowl. However, being publicly labeled as "hoarders" is inaccurate and damaging. We had storage containers stacked in a room partially used for storage something common in many Hawaii households where space is limited. This does not constitute hoarding. We maintain our home responsibly. Service Length & Charges We reviewed our app conversations again and found no direct communication indicating a change in service length. We did miss a community group post mentioning rate increases. While we understand that rates may change, we were unaware that our scheduled time had been reduced. Had a price increase for a 30-minute session been clearly communicated, we would have gladly accepted it. Refund & Account We have not received confirmation or documentation of any processed refund and would appreciate a receipt for our records.Our account still exists within the app and prior conversations remain accessible. The app was simply removed from our phone once services were discontinued. The review was posted after waiting several days without a response. She also had our phone number but did not reach out directly. Reviews Clarification There were no coordinated or duplicate reviews. One review was posted on Google and one on Yelp by the same individual. No multiple accounts were created. A Google account was created solely to share this experience, as this was the first time we have felt compelled to post a negative review. Grief Statement We understand pet loss deeply and would always extend grace in that situation. It was stated that certain issues were due to grieving and needing time to spend the last moments with a senior pet. We later learned through those who knew her, as well as publicly available posts that were shared with us, that those final moments had actually taken place 5-6 months earlier (March/April), not during the month referenced. We would have responded with empathy and understanding had the timeline been accurate. However, the discrepancy left us feeling confused and hurt, as the explanation did not align with the information that was publicly available. We did not want this situation to escalate. We expected professionalism, respect for privacy, and honest communication. Instead, we were met with personal accusations that do not reflect our character or the facts. We have documentation from that time but hope it will not be necessary to share it. Our intention is simply to clarify our experience.
