Testimonials

From Pet Lovers Like You!

  • Aloha took good care of our Draco for 6 days! Their facilities are clean and well organized. The staff was excellent and were happy to answer any of our questions. You don't have to worry about your pets when you leave them in their hands of the wonderful people at Aloha.

  • My pup Tinsly has been utilizing many of the services at Aloha and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. She has received a few grooms and baths from Joy which have been great. She has also participated in fetch club and day academy training with Sarah. I have a completely different pup after her training. Going in she was pretty shy, timid and full of energy. Afterwards her impulse control, listening and demeanor are significantly improved. My overall experience has been wonderful and I look forward to many days of fitness club. Everyone is so friendly and I know they take great care of all the dogs. I also enjoy checking the Snapchat each day to see how much fun they have.

  • This is the best boarding experience we've ever had! We loved seeing how happy and loved-on our dogs were on Snapchat, as well as checking in on them at night through the camera in their room. The staff was very helpful, had excellent communication, and most importantly were dog-lovers!

  • This was our first visit to Aloha for grooming. Very attentive, caring staff. Joy (I think that was her name) was soft spoken and gentle to our schnauzer. Great grooming! Made another appointment for next grooming before we left!! Satisfied customer!!

Heather Robson

Owner

Aloha Pet Resort and Spa came to be when I saw a need for high-end care and luxury accommodations for pets. As a Veterinary Technician, I’ve been in the pet industry for over 25 years and see a huge change in what people want for their pets. They want them to be happy, healthy and beautiful. I believe that our pets deserve the best and I have the experience to bring that quality of service to Aloha Pet Resort and Spa. I can’t wait to meet your furry family friend.

Sarah Lindholm

KPA Certified Training Partner

Ever since I was a kid, I always knew that when I grew up I wanted to be around animals. From being kennel staff at a veterinary hospital, to cremating pets for nearly a year and a half, I found that nothing compares to just how rewarding the pet care industry is. Having people entrust us with their beloved pets is a huge responsibility, and one I am honored to take on! I continually seek further education in the field of dog language and behavior!

Fitness Club Supervisor

At Aloha you can find me up front greeting you and your fury friend, running around in fitness club, and everything in between! I came to Aloha just looking for change and always having a love for animals I felt I would really enjoy it and I have loved every moment since. I will be attending school next spring with a double major in Botany and Business with aspirations of owning my own business someday. When I’m not at Aloha you can find me outside enjoying the world and spending time with my dogs and family. I love being a part of a company that values not only its customers but every single employee they have. Everyday I get to come into work just brings me so much joy!

I am a junior at the University of Northern Iowa studying Business Administration. I've been a huge animal lover ever since I was little. I grew up on a farm and had my own ducks and a cow. I've been in the pet care industry for a few years and came to Aloha after moving to the Cedar Valley. I absolutely love the environment at Aloha and all the furry friends that come with. I can't wait to grow here and get to know all of you and your beautiful pets!

Being both a dog person and a marketing professional makes working for Aloha the best of both worlds. I enjoy having the opportunity to promote Aloha's amazing services and come up with fun, new ideas for your pets. I currently reside in Cedar Falls with my husband, Joe, and two dogs, and in my free time I enjoy just about any outdoor activity. I'm excited to continue making Aloha a fun place for all of our furry guests to visit!

Mekka Sims

Pet Stylist

I’ve always been an animal person since I was a kid. I used to volunteer at the local shelter, always asked my parents for new pets and the zoo was always my number one pick when we went on vacation! I knew I always wanted to work with animals but never knew what the right path for me was. Grooming stood out to me while going to school at Kirkwood Community College. I switched my career to grooming and have been doing it since. I love dogs, they have always been my favorite animals. I have my own dog named Nimbus. He's a 3-year-old Shiba Inu. He definitely keeps me on my toes. I also have a cat named Minx who is the sweetest girl ever. I’m married to my high school sweetheart Mekhi, who I married in June of 2023. I’m so happy I chose Aloha to be my work home. The staff makes you feel so welcome, you can tell we all love the dogs that come in.

Joy Back

Pet Stylist

I have worked with pets and their parents for almost four years. I have always had an interest in the upkeep of pets before I understood grooming was a career. I remember being six years old and unsuccessfully trying to cut my family's chihuahua's nails with human nail clippers! Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I am passionate about communicating with every pet parent to keep their furry friend as happy as possible. I cannot wait to get to know your pet and provide quality care!

Pet Stylist

Working with dogs is my passion, and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else! When I moved to the Cedar Valley in 2016, and found grooming, it was like a dream come true. To be able to combine my love of dogs with my passion for creative hairstyling is so incredibly rewarding. I especially live for the puppies! I love being able to watch them grow and grow with them. I am so excited to meet you & your pup, and create a long-lasting relationship with your fur baby!

I am currently a junior in high school and I have two fur babies at home: Oliver and Piper! I also have a sister and three brothers and currently live in Waterloo with my father and brother. Outside of Aloha, you can find me traveling with family, hanging out with friends, studying, and playing with my dog, Oliver. I came to Aloha because my sister, Sierra, is the Fitness Club Supervisor, and she always talks highly of Aloha. I also have a love for animals, so when looking for new jobs, I thought there would be no better place than Aloha! At Aloha, you can find me in lodging, taking care of boarding pets, and taking care of your fur babies out in Fitness Club!

I graduated in Veterinary Assisting at Hawkeye Community College. I enjoy horse-back riding in my free time and love all animals. I also have a dog named Ellie! In the future, I hope to work more with horses and dogs. Aloha has given me a chance to love dogs even more, and learn more about them no matter the breed!

I have been working at Aloha for a few months now as a fitness leader and lodging attendant which I love. I grew up around dogs and after losing my childhood dog, I figured Aloha would be the perfect environment for me, being able to be around dogs all day! I currently reside in Waterloo with my mom and my cat, Nova. I am online as a senior in high school and plan to go to school for early education. My favorite thing about Aloha is being able to meet all the new pups that walk through the door everyday!
