The Furry Ohana

01/01/2025

As 2024 comes to an end, I can’t help but reflect on how incredible this year has been. One of my biggest goals was to expand my client list and grow my team, and I’m beyond happy with the progress we’ve made. We welcomed so many new furry friends into the Ohana, and it’s been an honor to care for each one of them. 🐾

This year has also been about growing my team with amazing, passionate people who share the same love for animals that I do. Together, we’ve made so many memories, and I am incredibly grateful for everyone who’s been a part of this journey.

I’ve finally found my true passion in what I do, and it brings me so much joy to be able to share this with the local Ohana. As you know, Ohana is more than just a word to me—it’s the heart of everything we do. I’m truly blessed to be part of your Ohana, and I look forward to continuing to serve you and your furry family members in 2025.

Next year, I’m only looking to do better and grow even more, and I can’t wait to see what’s ahead!

We are thrilled to introduce Lora, our newest addition to the Furry Ohana team. Lora is well-known in the pet community and has been assisting Alex with daily tasks since late last year. Her passion for animals and dedication to their care have led her to step up into the walking and sitting position.

Lora has three fur babies at home: Raiden, a 13-year-old white service Husky who is a HUGE mommy’s boy, and two-year-old twin kitties, Pa’ani, a male Siamese, and Mo’ili’ili, a female tuxedo.

At The Furry Ohana, we strive to ensure a seamless and personalized experience for you and your pets. Our comprehensive onboarding process begins with an in-home consultation, known as a “meet and greet.” During this initial meeting, we take the time to understand your pet’s unique needs, preferences, and routines. Here’s a detailed look at our process:

Meet and Greet: We schedule a convenient time to visit your home, where we get acquainted with you, your pet, and their environment. This allows us to understand their daily routine, favorite activities, and any special requirements they may have. It’s also an opportunity for your pet to become comfortable with us.

Neighborhood Familiarization: We familiarize ourselves with your neighborhood to ensure we can provide the safest and most enjoyable walking routes for your dog.

Customized Care Plan: We create a tailored care plan based on the meet and greet information, including exercise, feeding, and medication schedules, and any other special instructions you provide.

Service Updates: Each visit includes a detailed summary, photos, and any observations or concerns about your pet’s well-being.

Emergency Preparedness: We gather important emergency information, including veterinary contacts and procedures.

Peace of Mind: Our company is fully bonded and insured, providing you with peace of mind while you are away. We take our responsibility seriously and are committed to maintaining the highest standards of care and professionalism.

We understand that entrusting your pet to someone else is a significant decision. Our goal is to build a trusting relationship with you and your pet, ensuring they receive the best possible care in your absence.

Mahalo for considering The Furry Ohana for your pet care needs!

Aunty Alex & The Furry Ohana

Aloha fam, it’s Aunty Alex here and it’s about time I share a little about myself:

I hold dual Bachelor of Science degrees from UH Manoa: one in Animal Science with a focus on pre-veterinary studies, and the other in Marine Biology. My passion for animals has driven my academic and professional pursuits. Throughout college, I worked as a veterinary technician, refining my skills in a professional setting. Additionally, I’ve spent the last six years gaining hands-on experience in dog walking, pet sitting, and caring for various animals.

My journey in pet care began on Rover, where I quickly garnered a reputation for outstanding reviews. Once I graduated college, I decided to take the bold move to leave my job as a veterinary technician to embark on the journey of starting my own business, , a pet care business dedicated to providing unparalleled services.

The Furry Ohana is just one year into business and I stand on the cusp of launching my second venture, .pet.cbd. I am fueled by a relentless drive to innovate and elevate the standards of pet care. Every day, I pour my heart and soul into ensuring that your furry companions receive nothing but the best. I am an entrepreneur at heart, deeply passionate about my work and unwavering in my dedication to your pets’ well-being. While I take pride in my achievements thus far, I am driven by the pursuit of excellence and the desire to push boundaries.

Thank you for trusting me with the care of your beloved pets. Together, let’s continue to write the next chapter in their journey with love, compassion, and a whole lot of wagging tails.

Mahalo,
Aunty Alex
