Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Waimea

Waimea

Waimea isn’t separated into distinct neighborhoods, but instead is a census-designated area on the Kauai island with a low population. Still, it's a popular spot for travelers. Waimea sits on the Waimea Bay and features scenic, resort-style beaches, some of which allow your pup to run and splash if he’s on his leash. A popular place here is JoJo’s Shave Ice, which has more than 60 flavors of the deliciously cool treat – and some outdoor tables at which your pooch can join you! You can also bring him to Ishihara Market’s outdoor seating area to enjoy some local seafood and mouth-watering sushi.

Poipu

About 21 miles from Waimea is the Poipu neighborhood of Koloa. This area is home to the popular Poipu Beach Park, which has gorgeous sand and water and was also named “America’s Best Beach” by the Travel Channel. Dogs are welcome to visit the beach with their owners on their leashes, but they need to stay away from Monk Seals, which often give birth in the area. Right near the park is Bubba’s, a local eatery known for its delicious burgers. The restaurant has an outdoor table set aside especially for dog owners and their pups – he can even enjoy a Bubba Burger that’s safe for dogs!

Nawiliwili Ahupua'a

A 25-minute drive from Waimea will bring you to Nawiliwili Ahupua’a, a neighborhood in Lihue, Hawaii. This area is just a few miles from the water so you can enjoy some of the island’s beautiful beaches of the east coast. And, you’ll have your pick of dining areas in the neighborhood that will welcome your pup to eat with you. A favorite shave ice parlor in the area is Uncle’s Shave Ice, which has outdoor seating for you to sit with your pup. After you cool off, head to Freddie’s Dog Park, which the Kauai Humane Society owns and operates. This beautiful park has separate areas for small and large dogs, lots of grass, and benches for owners.

Town Center

On the other side of the island from Waimea is the town center of Kapaa, which will take you about 56 minutes to drive to. This area is the home of Kealia Beach, a beautiful beach that’s one of the hosts of the Kapaa Coastal Path that runs along the cost, which is a perfect path for walking or biking while enjoying some amazing scenery. Your leashed dog is welcome on the beach – just make sure you clean up after him! A few minutes from the beach is the wildly popular Green Pig food truck, which has outdoor tables that welcome your furry pal.

Wailua

A short distance south of Kapaa’s Town Center and about a 50-minute drive from Waimea is Wailua in Kapaa, where there are plenty of dog-friendly restaurants to enjoy. Verde Restaurant is a hot spot with unique Mexican cuisine and plenty of outdoor seating for you and your pup. If you’re looking for some outdoor activity, head to the Kauai Path, a part of the Rails-to-Trails organization that gives you a gorgeous, serene place to walk, jog, or bike with your dog in tow. Of course, the area is also surrounded by the Kauai coast, so feel free to take a splash and cool off your paws!
