HI-BK is an all-inclusive doggy daycare provider in Downtown Brooklyn, NYC. It was founded by Geraldine and Richmond, a couple who lives in the neighborhood and have an immense love for dogs.

HI-BK Doggy Daycare is a nod from Hawaii and Brooklyn, homes to our founders. Geraldine grew up in Hawaii and Richmond spent summers with his family on the islands. When they moved to New York, they fell in love with a Shiba Inu. They named him Koa, which means “brave” in Hawaiian and also refers to the reddish-color Koa Tree, which is native to Hawaii.

As local residents, we opened HI-BK to offer a reliable, trusted, and reputable provider of doggy daycare, overnight boarding, grooming & spa, training, and puppy socialization in a clean, safe, and spacious environment.

HI-BK Doggy Daycare is focused on creating a community for dog owners in Brooklyn. We’re also looking to partner with other businesses and organizations to spread the aloha.

Each and every day, our mission is to provide exceptional service, support, and care for the dogs that we take in and you, their humans. We want you to gain peace of mind knowing that your dogs are in the very best of hands when you can’t be there for them.
