Spacious Dog Boarding with Private Outdoor Runs

Our canine guests enjoy one of three types of oversized, walk-in dog kennels—each with direct access to a private 25-foot outdoor run. That means your dog can relax inside or safely roam outside throughout the day, without ever being co-mingled with other pets.

We just can't say enough good things about Sandy, Alex, and everybody at Tradewinds. For many years, they've been the only place we've boarded our dogs. But recently they've gone above and beyond. Daisy and Boogu are both older/elderly dogs now, with significant health issues. Under the circumstances, we could not have entrusted them to anybody else. But Sandy and Alex have provided extraordinary care, treating our dogs like their own, getting us all through a tough situation--and, along they way, they have given our doggies a terrific vacation filled with fun and love. These folks are our family now, our ohana. We hope they know how much we appreciate them and everything they do.

I have been frequenting Tradewinds kennels for the past year and have been continually impressed by the professionalism of the staff. I work a job that tends to either send me out short notice and/or for long periods, which can add stress as a pet owner, however, I’ve been able to count on Tradewinds to have availability for Rocky. Finally, the posting of videos and pictures can help with the stress of being away and getting to see him having fun and enjoying his day.

We booked for our two big dogs last Christmas and already have our reservation in place for this year. The staff is wonderful and the dogs have a huge yard area for exercise and play. The sleeping areas are clean and shaded. We will continue to use Tradewinds Pet Suites for all our dog boarding needs.

Tradewinds has been like a second home for my dog, Lucy. It's never a stressful time for her. She knows when she's going to visit Aunt Sandy and Aunt Alex. In the year I've had her, I've had to spend a considerable amount of time away from home, but I always know that she's well taken care of when I leave her at Tradewinds. I live in Kailua so getting to Wainae is a trek but it's well worth the drive for the peace of mind that's afforded to me every time I take her there.*

I would recommend Tradewinds Pet Suites to anyone who is considering a place to board your dog! Your fur baby will be treated like family!

We love this place! It is spacious and beautifully maintained. Our furbaby loved it. We took our furbaby here when we left for the mainland to see family and felt very comfortable with Sandy and the crew watching him while we were away. They posted videos on Facebook of our furbaby so we could see how he was doing. It hit Christmas morning and we really started missing him but we knew we could check Facebook and see how he was doing later in the day (time difference). I will most definitely be bringing our furbaby here for any future trips we have planned.

Thank you for taking such great care of our baby—and we love the calendar!

I have been using Tradewinds Pet Suites for years! My dogs—past and present—love Sandy and crew. I was very hesitant at first after a bad experience with a different boarding facility, however, my vet recommended Tradewinds. After meeting Sandy and touring the pet hotel, I gave it a try and Baby Girl, Ted E. Bear, and Sarah loved it! They had a great staycation. We have used Tradewinds many times and highly recommend it to anyone who has a need for boarding. Ted and Sarah are looking forward to their summer staycation.

This was our first time to board our dog. We like to travel and I'm glad we picked Tradewinds. They were so awesome with our dog and he had so much fun! They have lots of room for him to run around and play and the kennels are nice and kept clean. They have outdoor kennels with individual runways and indoor kennels with AC—that's a plus for our English bulldog, Packer. The staff is nice and friendly while we were on our trip. I was able to go on Facebook and see how he was doing which was a plus. I recommend Tradewinds. If you need to board your pets, they will love it.

I am so last minute with my bookings all the time, and Sandy and her team CONTINUE to find ways to accommodate Koa and me. I cannot speak highly enough of their facilities, their professionals, and most importantly the amount of caring they have for animals. I cannot even count how many times I have used Tradewinds and I will always go back to them for all my boarding needs. Even if you're in Hawaii Kai, the drive is worth the doggie experience. Thank you for everything that you do and everything that you are Tradewinds.

Lexie and Rothko totally enjoyed themselves. I loved seeing them almost every day on Facebook. I wouldn't be able to travel if my dogs were unhappy with their accommodations! They came home totally relaxed. Tradewinds, we will be back!

Loving Care, Every Day!

At Tradewinds, your pet is family. Our dedicated caregivers treat every dog, cat, horse, bunny—even chickens!—with individual attention and genuine affection.

Dogs Love The Big Play Yard!

Dogs thrive at our nearly two-acre facility, where exercise, fresh air, and attention are part of the package—not an add-on. Tail wags come standard.

Private Pup Runs & Cozy Cat Suites

Dogs relax in walk-in kennels with private outdoor runs, while cats lounge in quiet, air-conditioned suites with sunny window views and cozy napping spots.

Why isn’t my dog allowed to socialize with other guests at Tradewinds?

Let’s ask Alex, Tradewinds manager and all-around pet aunty. She says it’s all about safety, an abundance of caution, and the unpredictable nature of pets, especially in unfamiliar settings.

“Dogs, cats and other pets have their own ways of communicating—and languages and gestures we may not understand. A friendly encounter can turn into a verbal altercation and physical threat in an instant. So we take no chances. All dogs get individual, supervised time to exercise and play, but for everyone’s safety, the only dogs who can play and board together are those from the same family who are here on vacation together, and special arrangements have been made.”

Can you administer any medications my pet needs?Your Title Goes Here

For an additional fee, we can give oral or topical meds and supplements if they are provided to us in premeasured doses with clear, written instructions. We can only give oral meds—no injections—and they are only administered in owner-provided pill treats. Owners must agree that Tradewinds will not be held responsible for any medication issues or errors.

Why do you require a negative fecal test within 90 days of boarding?

There are some things we believe in sharing. Parasites and communicable diseases are not among them. That’s why we require not only a recent negative fecal test but also vaccination and health records from your veterinarian—something we believe every boarding facility should do. Specifics are in our boarding agreement. We love caring for pets, and we want to be sure everyone goes home as healthy and happy as when they arrived.

My pet is afraid of fireworks. What do you do to keep him safe and calm?

Many pets, especially dogs, are terrified of fireworks, thunder and other loud noises, and we do everything we can to predict and plan proactively. If your pet is a known sufferer, the first step is to ask your vet to prescribe a mild sedative for as-needed use, and maybe bring along a piece of clothing or an item that has the familiar scents of home. Our feline guests stay indoors in their own private rooms with cat-centric music and cat-calming diffusers. Our spacious canine quarters feature indoor suites with high walls for safety and security. No dog or cat is left outside. We do our best to provide the most individualized care for every pet, and even have air-conditioned indoor accommodations for those who need the added security and comfort that a smaller, quieter enclosure can provide in scary times.
