Dog Boarding Doolen-Fruitvale

“I boarded my 20 pound Miniature Schnauzer with Ron for a period of ten days while in Hawaii. My pup is an important part of my family and I want him to feel as if he is also having a vacation while I am away. After carefully researching every available boarding option I decided on Ron. I met Ron for a meet and greet before the actual boarding and his responsible and trustworthy nature was evident. Ron also has a beautifully landscaped and secure back yard. Lastly, Ron's Poodle Lily made an excellent companion to my proportionately sized Miniature Schnauzer. In my opinion, the combination of these qualities make's Ron the best choice for small dog boarding in Tucson. My schnauzer had a joyous time frolicking and cuddling with Ron's poodle while I was away. Ron did a great job of sending photos. The photos showed that my pup was eating, enjoying time on the couch and even cuddled in bed next to Ron's poodle. I received photos throughout my trip (not just the first few days) and these photos convinced me that my pup was having just as much fun as I was. Ron is a primary school teacher which is an occupation that I have much respect for and is illustrative of his good character. Ron also has a love of plants which is evident in his beautiful green yard with lots of shady places for dogs to rest and play. I was also very pleased that Ron has a dog door that my 20 pound schnauzer was able to fit through easily for constant back yard access. Overall, I do not think there is a better choice for small dog boarding in Tucson. My pup actually seemed sad to leave Ron and his poodle Lily. It was a great opportunity for my dog to socialize and play with another well trained dog. My dog came back happy, well exercised and without a trace of anxiety. In conclusion, Ron is a kind, intelligent, and caring animal lover. I would not hesitate to board my much loved miniature schnauzer with him next time I go on vacation. Ron's tranquil home and general attitude make the experience a vacation for your pet.”

“This husband-and-wife team is absolutely amazing — responsible, loving, and caring. They treated our dog like their own and sent regular photo updates during the stay, which gave us such peace of mind. Their sweet dog Jaxson even showed ours how to use the doggie door! They were so thoughtful and even gave us a slow-feeding bowl to take home. We’ll definitely use them again on our next trip. Highly recommend!”

“We had a lovely meet-up with Beth and crew prior to our reservation. When the day came and I dropped off Frankie for boarding, Beth mothered her into the fold, sending pictures of snuggles and reports of fur friendships which was appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Beth for future travels.”

“Awesome sauce ?! She was the warmest with our four legged friend and she was super tentative our girl. T was great to know we went on vacation for a special treat away, but so did our girl. Thanks Vicky!”

“I recently had the pleasure of having Gail as my dog sitter while I traveled, and I can't express how wonderful she was! Initially, I was hesitant about leaving my dog, but Gail put all my worries to rest. She was incredibly attentive, caring, and genuinely passionate about taking care of my furry baby. From our first meeting, it was clear that Gail was knowledgeable and experienced with dogs. She took the time to understand my dog's routine, preferences, and quirks, which made all the difference. During my trip, I received regular updates, complete with photos that showed my pup happily playing and relaxing under Gail's watchful eye. When I returned, it was evident that my dog was not just well-cared for but had also formed a bond with Gail. He was happy and content, which reassured me that I had made the right choice. I wholeheartedly recommend Gail to anyone looking for a dependable and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Gail, for being so amazing – I can’t wait to book you again for our next trip!”

“Cashmere was well taken care of by Ana. My little dog got to play with Ana’s little dog. The socialization was great. Cashmere was taken on walks in the neighborhood. Ana did a great job communicating to me on a regular basis. She sent pictures and video often. We had a god experience.”

“Ashley was such a nice help with watching our babies. She gave daily photos and followed all pick-up/drop off instructions well. Definitely would use her again!”

“Amazing dog family. I had to go out of town for a few days and didn't have any problem at all with fear or apprehension because I knew my animal is cared for. Extra playtime and walking because my dog is super energetic and needs the exercise. Thanks for the great job.”

“Jose kept my cat for a long weekend, and I couldn’t be happier. Jose gave me updates and sent pictures. My sweet girl is shy and cautious so it takes a day or so for her to warm up. By the third day, she was sunbathing on her side which means she was very comfortable. He provided a calm safe space for her. I will definitely use him again in the future and highly recommend him. Jose, thank you again!”

“Kat took excellent care of my little Reina. I received updates on her quite frequently. Reina was taken on several walks and appeared to get a long well with Kat’s small pups. Thank you for all the care!”

“Sylvie, took great care of my 3 dogs, Buster, Prince & Princess. They returned happy and spoiled as they are always. She is a good host and available when I have needed her. She is friendly and let's the dogs do what they want within reason and I believe she understand the individual personalities of my dogs.”

“Another happy stay for Sequoia with Daniel! She was so happy to go back to Daniel’s for more play time with her friends and snuggles. His home, care and communication are exceptional every single time. Sequoia can’t wait to make herself at home at her favorite home away from home with Daniel.”

“My pupper had a great time with Richard. We needed someone last minute and they came through and had a beautiful home to stay in with an awesome back yard.”

“David took great care of Birdie! She was very happy and healthy when I picked her up. I would highly recommend David and hopefully he will be available in the future when I need someone to watch her!”

“Gina was so great with Hazel! Hazel can be a bit of a flight risk, so we’re always a little nervous about that, but Gina was very understanding and assured us they would be extra cautious. Gina sent pictures throughout Hazel’s stay and kept us updated. She took her to the dog park and on car rides which is perfect for Hazel who is high energy! She was also very flexible with meet and greet and pick up/drop off times as our schedule requires a later time. Would definitely book again!”

“Haley took such good care of my sweet Rip. She sent lots of photos, and was very responsive. Would definitely recommend!”

“Darlene watched our little Sophie for 5 days, she sent pictures and communicated fast and friendly. Her environment is safe and dog friendly. She treated Sophie as part of her family. She took excellent care of our 12yr old pup, and I highly recommend her!”

“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”

“Miriam was fantastic taking care of my three dogs, they each have their own personalities and peculiarities and she gave each one exactly what they needed. She was very communicative, flexible, and we received lots of photos while traveling. Her own dogs and family are also very sweet. Would use her again anytime!”
