Doggy Day Care Avra Valley

About: I am Deaf and rely on ASL to communicate. I am an expert at reading body language both in people & animals. I've grown up with many different animals, mostly dogs. I had my own dog starting at age 8. I've taken care of dogs personally and professionally since then. I'd go dogsit neighbors' dogs at their houses and have family/friends' dogs at my house. I walked dogs for two years before COVID happened. I am a work-at-home mom with three kids (9 years old to an infant) and two pups. I am available on weekdays, weekends, days & nights! We are huge pet lovers here. I have three kids to keep your pets stimulated and busy. I also have a fenced yard and a two-story house. We also live close to a dog park if you've taken your dogs to a dog park and are comfortable with me doing so. I have two dogs to play with your dogs. We enjoy going on walks early in the morning and after dinner, so we will bring your dog along! I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. I will adjust my schedule to fit your pup's routine! Either my partner, Alex, and I or both are always home so the dogs are almost never on their own. I can bring my work with me wherever the dogs are, inside & outside. I have a fenced backyard, baby gates throughout the house, a storm door on the front door, several crates (medium & large), and a quiet & safe room upstairs if your pup needs some space. I have a lot of dog toys all around the house, blankets, treats, outdoor activities, etc to help your pup feel safe and comfortable here. I care for many anxious & nervous dogs, so I am well aware of their body language and know exactly what it is they need. If you ask my previous clients, they'd tell you that their anxious dogs warm up to me pretty quickly!

“Leslie took great care of my dog! She sent daily updates and pictures showing that my dog was happy and enjoying her time with her. My dog was excited to go back and it gave me peace of mind.”

About: I have loved and cared for dogs my entire life, and they truly hold a special place in my heart. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their beloved pups for years because they know every dog who stays with us is treated like part of our family. I took a break from pet sitting for a while, but I'm happy to share that I'm now open again and excited to welcome new furry friends into our home! My husband and I both work from home, so your pup will enjoy plenty of love, attention, companionship, and playtime throughout the day—they'll never be left alone. While I'm new to Rover, I'm certainly not new to providing safe, dependable, and loving care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Our home features a fully fenced yard and a secure dog run where your pup can safely explore, play, and burn off energy. We have plenty of activities to keep tails wagging, and for dogs who enjoy socializing, there are friendly playmates to spend time with as well. I know how important it is to feel connected while you're away, so I'm happy to send photos and updates, giving you peace of mind and letting you see how much fun your pup is having. We also have one gentle, mellow cat who gets along wonderfully with dogs, but if your furry family member would be more comfortable without feline company, she can easily stay in her own area. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving, and happy home away from home where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and truly loved. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! I am home all day with your fur baby. So I am available to care and be with our baby all day. They will be loved and spoiled! Your baby will get to play all day, have breaks, eat on your schedule. Please provide their food and any snacks you wish them to have.

About: I’ve been a dog owner my whole life. We’ve recently relocated for my husbands job and I can officially stay home. My dog is friendly and gets along with any dog! I would love for him to get to play with others while I get to help others as I know finding pet care can be hard! I’m a mom of two school-aged kiddos! Aside from our quick 10-minute school drop-off and pick-up, along with the occasional errand, I’ll be home with your pups for the majority of the day. They’ll get lots of love, attention, and companionship while they’re in my care! I have a fenced-in yard and a spacious two-story home, making it a great fit for dogs of all sizes, including larger breeds. I also have an extremely friendly dog who is older but still loves to play! If needed, I’m more than happy to keep the dogs separated to make sure everyone is comfortable and happy.

“My pups had such a great day with Christine and Daniel’s! They are nice people and communicative. My dogs came home happy, worn out and went to bed early. Happy I found them!”

About: I have always been a pet owner, volunteered at no-kill shelters for many years, and have worked with many sick AND healthy dogs over my years as a veterinary assistant! I am a hard-worker in and out of school and will ensure that you feel that your pets are in the best hands! I am no stranger to animal care and I will use my three years of experience to ensure that you receive the best care possible! I am currently a Veterinary Science major studying at the U of A! I try to be as up front about my class schedules as I can as being a student is a huge part of who I am! I want to have the most experience possible with a variety of companion animals as I work towards my goal of becoming a veterinarian. Before coming to the UA, I had a full time job at an amazing clinic where I learned so much more in depth animal care! I am all about pet safety and I am a very hypervigilant pet sitter/walker as I only want what is best for my clients! I am able to watch pups outside if predators are a concern or obstacles like a swimming pool. Happy clients and pets are of utmost importance and I provide daily pictures/videos of pets to ensure that owners feel at ease! I also require meet and greets before bookings because I love to get to know you and your pet a little more and ensure that we are a good fit!

“Felt very safe leaving Zarina with her. She was very communicative and patient with me. As an out of towner my guesses of how long everything would take was a bit off. lol traffic! I will use her again!”

About: I’ve been a dog sitter and walker for over a decade and have been training for the past 6 years! I’ve owned dogs all my life and started dog walking from an early age just to be around dogs. I have prioritized my education to ensure you have absolutely no worries if your canine friends are in my care. I am reliable, educated and competent when it comes to your dogs. I’m experience in first aid and nutrition. I prioritize structured fun! I work a swing shift that allows me ample time for morning training and exercise, which is absolutely necessary for this AZ heat! I also am happy to work weekends and holidays. In your home I follow your direction right down to the letter. I absolutely don’t want to stray from tradition as dogs thrive with a solid routine. The only thing that will change for them is the face. I currently work part time and have ample time to provide to your dogs! I prioritize fun and education with my own dogs, and would love to provide that for yours. I love early mornings and late evenings to escape the heat, and I work weekends and holidays. I provide excellent care following the dogs normal routine. I will of course add some extra pets or playtime (it’s a staycation for them), but I ensure all instructions are followed to give them the best time.

“Amber absolutely loves going over to have a fun day with her besties at Adria’s house! Amber is a very shy dog, so I know she truly loves it there because every time I drop her off, she runs out of my car, her tail is wagging like crazy, and she is always so happy and excited to willingly run right into the house. That alone gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s somewhere she feels comfortable and safe. Adria is such a wonderful dog lover and is incredibly reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I always feel completely comfortable leaving Amber with her while I’m at work because I know she’s getting so much love, attention, and care. I couldn’t recommend Adria enough; she is truly amazing. 100/10! 🐾❤️”

“Very positive experience for us and the pups. Great environment for both physical and mental stimulation for the pups. Lara clearly a knowledgeable and caring dog and animal lover. Lara kept us in the loop with pictures and commentary throughout the day. You can’t go wrong with Lara and family watching over your pups.”

“Carol & her frenchie boys (Romeo & Beauregard) are the best! Sable (my mini Schnauzer puppy) & I were visiting AZ for 2 weeks. I needed to find a trustworthy person & place for my sweet Sable during the day so I could work. After reading lots of Rover reviews, I took a leap of faith and booked with Carol. We hit the jackpot!!! Carol clearly is a dog lover and she takes caring for her canine guests very seriously! She has excellent communication skills and her home is set up specifically into zones to accommodate the varying needs of her puppy patrons (i.e. doggie door out to covered patio area, separated rooms with doggie gates & tiled floors for easy potty accident clean ups, safe/quite places for senior dogs, etc.). She only accepts fully vaccinated dogs which put my mind at ease that Sable wouldn't be exposed to any diseases while I'm getting her up to speed on her required shots (i.e. rabies, lepto, DHPP, etc.). Finally, Carol's was a great place for Sable to start getting better socialized with other dogs and learn some manners. ;-). I highly recommend Carol and won't hesitate to book with her again in the future!”

“Our little Coco had a GREAT day with Brynna. We had a last minute need for daycare and she was so nice to do a quick meet and greet the day before. Brynna is amazing with communication and response time. You can immediately tell that she LOVES all pups. Ours is just 11 months old and very busy and active and Brynna dove in and enjoyed it all. Her home is perfect inside and out for the pups and she really took the time to make it special for our Coco. We will definitely use her again. Thank you Brynna”

“Our fluffy friend has ALWAYS been welcomed at Elizabeth’s. She is very loving and caring and we are happy to bring Sedona to Elizabeth’s weekly for day care. Sedona always comes home tired and satisfied with her day. We’ll continue to go to Elizabeth’s weekly!”

“Yaneli did a marvelous job keeping our Athena active & happy. Athena enjoyed playing with Yaneli’s dog & being out for an extensive hike. Yaneli really went above & beyond in making sure Athena was exercised & entertained!!!!”

About: With 16 years of hands-on experience in pet care and training, I’ve honed a deep understanding of animal behavior, needs, and communication. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of pets—from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets requiring extra attention. My approach combines patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, ensuring that pets feel safe, loved, and well-behaved. Whether it’s daily care, specialized training, or addressing behavioral challenges, I bring both skill and heart to every pet I care for. I'm currently working part time so I have loads of extra time to care for, train, and love on all of your furry family members. I have an enclosed backyard with one well-trained medium sized dog. He gets along well with most dogs, but can easily be separated if needed.

“Teddy was well cared for by Jamie! I especially like it that he was the only pet. Her house is spotless and pet safe. I’d definitely use her services again.”

About: I treat every dog like they're part of my own family. I'm patient, dependable, and pay close attention to each dog's unique personality and routine. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, a senior needing extra care, or a young dog still learning, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work from home, which allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, and it helps create a calm, positive balance in my daily routine. I provide a safe, loving environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home while their owners are away. My flexible schedule allows me to give each pet the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. I enjoy daily afternoon walks, providing dogs with exercise, fresh air, and companionship. I will provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I will follow their routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I like to make pets feel loved, safe, and respected. I enjoy building a bond with each pet so they can feel comfortable, adjust quickly, and feel at home in my care.

“It was a great relief to know my dogs were safe and sound while we were moving to our new home. The chaos would have stressed them. Ander was a lifesaver!”
