Aloha Professional Pet Sitters LLC

Our normal pet sitter was going to be out of town the same time we were so we quickly called some friends for pet sitting recommendations. It was three weeks before Christmas and we were nervous that no one would be available for 8 nights over the holiday on such short notice. But luckily two of our friends recommended Patti and Frank — who were available! We arranged for them to come meet the pups and talk through what we needed. Patti and Frank were calm, professional, and wrote down all the details and little quirks to make sure they got everything right.
While we were gone, they sent the occasional text with photos of the fur babies and quick updates. They also kept a daily log which we could read when we got home. They brought in the mail and even left a little Christmas toy for each of the dogs!
But all that aside, they really went above and beyond to help us when our flight home got cancelled due to weather and we had to stay overnight at LAX. They assured us it was no problem for them to stay an extra night and we needn’t worry about the pups. That was truly the biggest relief when we’d been traveling for 18 hours only to get stranded on the last bit. Had it not been for Patti and Frank I would have really been a mess! We would definitely recommend their services!

Patti and her husband took great care of my rescue dog (koko) while I was traveling to the mainland. I was going to be away for two weeks, and wanted to make sure that I would be leaving my dog with someone that I could trust. In the past, my dog has had difficulty getting along with unfamiliar people by lunging or barking at them. However, Patti reassured me that she and her husband have had plenty of experience with pets and animals. Patti met with me and koko before my trip, and Koko liked her right off the bat! Plus, Patti described her husband as the «dog whisperer.» While I was away, Patti sent me photos of my dog, and brief updates about how koko was doing. Patti and Frank took Koko on long walks at the park and beach, and kept Koko’s routine consistent. When I returned, Koko was so relaxed and happy. No separation anxiety or excessive barking while I was away. Plus, my neighbors couldn’t believe how great, calm and playful Koko was with Patti and her husband; they thought she was a different dog on her walks with them! Patti gave me helpful tips for walking and taking good care of Koko. Her and and her husband have a magic touch with animals, and they understand how to keep pets happy, safe, and well-​cared for while you are away!
I highly recommend them to anyone looking for responsible pet sitters! :)

Patti and Frank are the best! Always available when I needed them and took great care of my kitties! I trusted them and always knew that when I traveled I had nothing to worry about.
I recently left Oahu and needed assistance getting the cats to United Cargo. Since I was catching an earlier flight, I needed someone to get the cats checked in. Patti jumped right in with the assist!
Patti and Frank spoiled me in terms of finding awesome people who care about animals! And I highly recommend them.

My fiancé left for training for a month and a half and so i needed an extra hand with my dog Kai while i work. At first I was really reluctant to having a stranger in my house. But let me tell you, hiring Patti was the best thing I ever did! This company gave me a discount of $ 18 per daily walk which is about 1hr long. A daily walk includes walking your dog, playing with your dog, and making sure they have food and water. The first time Patti came to my house, my dog practically jumped into her arms! Which wasn’t normal for my 8 month old husky puppy! Kai went through a stage where she was really timid and scared around strangers. She also liked to nip people’s hands if you tried to pet her. So I was really nervous and warned Patti. Patti assured me, Kai would be fine! Patti has gave me tips about training Kai like how to walk her, how to make her come, and even how to get Kai used to children. It was like a free private dog training lesson! Patti gave me confidence in my dog. She reassured me my dog was a loving dog! My dog has shown so much improvement since I hired Patti. Kai no longer nips and walks right up to strangers to get love. I couldn’t thank Patti and Frank enough! I will def be using their services again!!!

I got on Unilocal to give Patti and Frank a WONDERFUL rating. I absolutely cannot believe those other low ratings at all and you shouldn’t either. They must have either made up the ratings to mess up their wonderful business or something along those lines! Unbelievable.
For a REAL review, we have been using Patti and Frank’s business for YEARS. We have many, many animals, since we rescue many pets that previous owners cannot medically care for or couldn’t have in their homes anymore. We have 6 dogs, 8 cats, and several chickens (We have a farm lot). We would never be able to go on vacation if it wasn’t for Patti and Frank!!! They are professional, kind, and love your animals as if they were their own. They write a daily log of what kind of day the animals had and are well worth the very affordable price for their services! We HIGHLY recommend their business and you can be happy to know your animals are in loving hands when in their care. The best!

I loved the quality services provided by Patti and her husband Frank! I was looking for a pet sitter once I found a job for my 4 month old Labradoodle, who at the time was too young to be left all day without a potty/​walk break. I had contacted Pet Sitters who suggested her services and from the moment my baby met her it was love at first site! I take extra special care of my little baby doodle, and he chose Ms. Patti as his care giver. Both she and Frank left me dairies on what he did also they included the kitty who eventually warmed up to them, ensured there was food, water, treats given, updates on both their behaviors. It’s difficult enough getting back into the routine of working, and being away for almost 12 hours can be tough on everyone. Patti has offered some very sound advice on training and grooming techniques and even noticed when my baby had an ear infection from a groomer I’ll never go back to. Her prices are very reasonable and I have recommended her services to all of my friends that live on the west end of Oahu. Thank You Patti!!!

Beware… Incredibly unprofessional, rude, and could not care less about the safety or well being of your animals. Definitely would not recommend. Her only 5-​star review came from herself.
Update– I lived in Hawaii when writing this review. I am a military spouse and do not change things every time we move somewhere new. You may not remember speaking to me or meeting a potential client but that doesn’t change your awful service :)

Today I was both heartbroken and taken back by the lack of professionalism and insult I received. I needed a last minute pet sitter to walk one of my four dogs while I went just overnight in town. Mind you, I typically travel with both my poodles but my husband and I thought a night pet free would be good for us. This woman Patti?(don’t recall her name) was recommended by a friend who thankfully had not yet used her services but intended to this wknd as she also was staying overnight in town. This woman ofcourse needed to do a last minute consultation. Mind you, this is the only thing I am guilty of is asking if she can accomodate me last minute. Upon walking into my home, I sensed my two poodles were immediately not comfortable with this woman. First, I was ridiculed for «rewarding» my precious standard poodle ‘Mirabelle” with her beloved ball for sitting and demonstrating quiet time. She exclaimed“You are rewarding her for barking!“Yikes Strike One! I then explained shed only be responsible for walking mirabelle and explained that murray is small, fragile, and fearful and has small accidents that we clean up. She looked appalled and horrified and insulted me again. Strike two! She then began to ask where my other two equally spoiled dogs were. I explained that one police dog was locked in the bathroom so that I may talk to her and that she is not comfortable around guests (in other honest words she will potentially attack you for being a new guest in my home and this is for your protection and only a few minutes) and my fourteen year old retired police dog was still in the car (with the windows down) as he and I had just gotten back from taking a quick ride and I left him in the car to rest so that I could accommodate this woman and do the dog walking consult. She then exclaimed“And you are the spca director and your dog is in the hot car???“Excuse me??? Strike 3! I then watched this wretched woman look around my house like she was doing a home inspection. She then proceeded to say she was uncomfortable in my home and began to storm out. As someone that runs a reputable business, I have never encountered such ridiculous behavior and followed her demanding an explanation and reason for this nonsense. She told me «I needed a house cleaner instead of a pet sitter, insinuated my dogs were bad, and insinuated they were not getting the best care. I just want to set some things straight for this very delusional woman as well as anyone who may encounter her
.1. I am often complimented on the cleanliness of my home despite owning four dogs. Today I was in the midst of cleaning when I allowed her into my home. If clean laundry, a wet mopped floor, some dog hair, and dogs toys thrown abut my floor makes my house filthy, then she will insult most devoted pet owners as this is what our houses tend to look like after a long work week.
2.My dogs are my children. Do babysitters for children insist to the parents their children are bad? No! People in such a business love all animals and understand their quirks, personality, and needs. Coming into someones home like the know all of animals is both insulting and quite comical.
3.As the director of the spca and spending the last 15 years of my life devoted to animals, animal welfare, and animal health, this woman had no right questioning or thinking my pets don’t receive the utmost care. A little insight to how my pets live? We have two overflowing toy boxes, our three large dogs get three walks a day, they are often cooked for and when not eat dog food costing $ 80.00 a bag. My retired police k9 who was resting in the car suffers from extreme dementia and anxiety and travels everywhere with my husband and I or enjoys days and nights at Tails of Hawaii where we have spent $ 20,000.00 in the last two years. My smallest often ill poodle sleeps in my arms and loved like a small infant. So yes, please be «uncomfortable «in my home since my animals are obviously quite neglected.
I spent the afternoon feeling violated, insulted, sad, and angry. I feel that it is important that people know about this horrible experience and opt to choose both a kind, pet friendly, people friendly pet sitter who doesn’t walk in your home with her nose up in the air and barely a kind gesture towards your animals. This business is a far cry from reputable pet sitting:(
