We Speak Dog!
Tradewinds Pet Suites is a family-owned and operated pet boarding facility serving pet families island-wide since 2008. Voted a KITV-TV Best of Hawaii Awards finalist in 2024 and 2026, we are located on more than three acres in peaceful Lualualei Valley in Waianae, and offer spacious private accommodations with individualized care.
Dogs enjoy 30-foot indoor/outdoor suites with private runs and individual exercise and playtime—we never mix dogs who are not from the same home.
Our dog suites are available in three sizes—Queen, King, and Super King.
- Queen Suites are 30 feet long by 4.5 feet wide and include an indoor area that is approximately 4.5’ x 3.5’.
- King Suites are 30’ x 6’ and include an indoor area that is 6’ x 3.5’.
- Super King Suites have accommodations for up to two compatible members of the same Ohana. These suites are 30’ long x 9’ wide and have two separate indoor areas, each 4.5’ x 3.5’. This is the perfect arrangement for dogs who live in the same home and enjoy being together.

Fun in the Play Yard: Our Pet Aunties Love to Play Too
The point of a huge play yard is…play. And so we do. Every guest plays differently and we love to learn their ways. It may be frisbee in the morning and tug-of-war in the afternoon, or a chase around the mango tree until one of us drops. Some of our guests are more sedate and prefer a stroll in the park and a nap in the shade of the mango tree.

- A completed and signed pet boarding agreement.
- All required veterinary records. See the Guest Checklist below.
