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.

Writing this review is a double edged sword, I do not want the rest of you to book all the available dates at this kennel. I just picked up my small breed dog from Nalowinds. She is calm and happy. Unlike doggie daycares that have too many dogs running around and make your pet a nervous wreck, this place is a calm retreat. The facility is lovely and the owners are extremely competent. I felt my dog was in great hands and I will not feel as anxious the next time I have to leave the island. You could tell that they are people who truly love dogs and do their best to do more than just feed them while you are gone. I have experienced the doggie daycare with college student attendants who could care less about your dog, just what time they get off work to go to the bar. I will never do that again.

I always use them when I travel to the mainland and don't bring my baby with me. I pamper her ( some might say too much), so when I leave her I have to know she's in good hands. It is an extremely calm and relaxing setting for her, and when I get her back, she has never picked up any bad habits, like she has when I used to use other places. I have only used them since I found them through a friend.
