My dog isn’t very social but she loves staying with Richard and Cami at Barks & Purrs. She runs in the front door! Great for grooming, great for daycare, great for boarding. I’m so happy we found Barks & Purrs! 100% recommend!!!
Happy dogs everywhere! Highly recommend!
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 ♥️
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.
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.
Thank you Emily and Jason, Molly is such a treasure and we so much enjoyed her company. Hope to watch over her on your next travels. Aloha, Richard and Cammy
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.
rich is a great and accommodating business owner. I would take my dog only to here!
Richard is awesome with Khloe. Khloe's is always so happy to go there, and when I pick her up she's happy and she looks great 👍 😊 ☺ I love bringing Khloe here. If I lived closer she would go there atleast twice a week. Thanks Richard and staff
Renee, thank you for your kind words. Kylie would run circles around all my daycare pets. My boarders become daycare and get to socialize with others, she loves the camaraderie of others and makes friends quickly. Take care and be safe, hope to see her soon. Richard
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!
Betsy, thank you so much for your kind words. Latte is my special senior child and she just loves strolling around the back. Hope to see her soon, thank you again🤗🐶
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!
Thank you Jennifer for your kind words. We are always here for Lola. She had a great time with her new friends. Wishing her well and hope to see her again. Richard and Cammy
