Barks and Purrs Pet Daycare and More

Barks and Purrs Pet Daycare and More is a cage-free facility offering dog boarding and daycare in Honolulu, Hawaii, at 3020 Waialae Avenue. It takes small breeds only: dogs 30 pounds and under, and 18 inches or shorter at the shoulder. There are no kennel runs, so pets roam the secured indoor and outdoor areas.

What the facility offers

The outdoor play area is large, covered, secured and gated, and there is indoor play space as well. Grooming happens on site at the doggie spa, and cats board in a separate air-conditioned room, so a household with both can book one stop.

• Cage-free boarding and daycare for dogs 30 pounds and under
• Covered, gated outdoor play yard plus indoor play areas
• Toys, a ramp area, a swing, and cots and bedding for naps
• Doggie spa with baths and nail trims
• Cat room with cat steps, cubbies, mini trees, plush beds and a private litter box

Who it suits

This is a fit for owners of small dogs who want a home-style setup rather than a row of runs. Staff are on site around the clock for boarding pets, and they can administer medication and follow a special diet. The owner, Richard Paiz, is a Certified Veterinary Technician.
