Doggy Day Care East Rio

“Cindy is fantastic. Our dog spent a few workdays while one of us was traveling, and he clearly felt comfortable and happy while at the same time Cindy provided a structured, calm, and enriching environment for him. He got walks and puzzles and even another dog friend to play with on occasion. Cindy was very patient, attentive, and kind. She has an excellent confident demeanor and establishes boundaries effectively and naturally with the pups. I would recommend Cindy in a heartbeat.”

“Definitely would recommend!!! My Daisy is very attached to me and has never been in someone else's care. The 2nd day when she got out of car she ran up to the door and couldn’t wait to dart in not even looking back at me. I got several updates & photos throughout the day. Will be booking with Christian & Hana again!”

“Marina took great care of our puppy Boston for the day and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was communicative, attentive, and clearly very comfortable around dogs. Boston came home happy, tired, and well cared for — always a great sign. You can tell Marina genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs she watches and gives them plenty of attention and activity. We really appreciated the peace of mind knowing Boston was in good hands. Would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend Marina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

About: I'm from Costa Rica, but I've been in AZ for 10 years now. I've had dogs pretty much my whole life. Now I live in Tempe near the mall, and there's a park right by my apartment. My job's flexible, so I can give whatever care is needed. I love all breeds. I work from home for Bank of America, so I get off around 3 or 4, depending on daylight savings. I've got a play area in the living room with pee pads and toys for the pets, and I'll make sure to walk them when it's cooler in the morning and evening.

“Really awesome experience with them! My 9 month old dog has done both daycare and overnight boarding. My pup always has so much fun and comes back exhausted. They are super kind and genuinely care about the well being of your dog. Great communicators and just overall so grateful I found folks I can trust with my baby.”

“Five stars. Katherine did a fantastic job watching my rescue dog, Qi. I am impressed with Katherine’s professionalism and sensitivity. This was my first time leaving Qi with a sitter. I was nervous at first, but Katherine’s responsiveness put me at ease. Qi came home happy, and actually looked for her after drop off. Thank you for the wonderful service. I will trust my dog with you again!”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! From snow days and trampoline adventures with my dog Bear to life with my two loyal Rhodesian Ridgebacks, animals have always been my happy place. These days, our sweet rescue Stella keeps life calm and cozy, and I still find that animals naturally seem to trust and connect with me. I’ve even taken obedience training classes because I genuinely love learning more about dog behavior and communication. I’m comfortable with energetic pups, gentle seniors, big dogs, little dogs, and yes — cats too (even if we can’t have them at home because of allergies). My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into our family’s daily routine. I’m a teacher, so I’m home during summers and school breaks, including two weeks each in fall, winter, and spring. My work schedule when teaching allows me to stop by home during lunch to check in on pets and I’m home by 3:30 PM leaving the evening open for playtime and companionship. Our two boys (13 and 15) also love animals and are learning responsibility by helping care for pets alongside me — giving extra love, playtime, walks, and attention. As a family, we’re able to comfortably provide care in our home or stop by for feedings, walks, check-ins, and play visits throughout the day. During the school year, I’m available before 7:00 AM and after 3:30 PM. I care for pets like they’re part of the family! I love greeting them with excitement, giving them attention, playtime, cuddles, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I enjoy taking dogs on walks or runs, playing fetch, and honestly love when they get the zoomies and show their personalities. Safety is always a priority. In our home, pets are supervised and can be safely crated or given their own quiet room if needed for rest, comfort, or separation. We have a fully fenced yard for outdoor play and a dog door so pets can move in and out comfortably throughout the day. We do have a pool that is not fenced, so I make sure dogs are monitored outside and will always follow the owner’s instructions regarding outdoor access and supervision. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, exercised, and loved.

“Dominique is so good with Juniper and she’s so pleasant and responsive! I’m thankful she took such good care of our sweet pup! I will call her whenever I can!”

About: Caring for dogs is something I truly love, and it’s become a big part of my everyday life. I’ve created a home where dogs can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I know being separated from their family can be stressful for some dogs, so I do everything I can to help them settle in, feel at home, and receive the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own pets. I’m home the majority of the day, so dogs get frequent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout their stay. My schedule is flexible and built around the dogs in my care, rather than long stretches away from home. Because I keep my bookings limited, I’m able to give each dog more consistent attention and keep the environment calm and predictable. Drop-off and pick-up times are scheduled in advance so transitions are smooth and low-stress. I’m often booked 8+ weeks in advance, especially during school breaks, summer, and holidays. Repeat families are welcome to check with me about future dates, but new bookings are only held once they are confirmed. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. My home is intentionally set up to provide a safe, calm, and welcoming environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I carefully introduce new dogs at a pace that’s comfortable for them and closely monitor body language and interactions to help everyone feel safe and confident. Dogs have access to the main living areas of my home and a fully fenced backyard with grass, a dog door, and a covered patio for year-round comfort. I’m home most of the day, providing frequent supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. Fresh water is always available, and I keep the environment clean, safe, and low stress. For added peace of mind, every guest wears an AirTag and ID tag while in my care. Meals are separated from active play to help reduce the risk of bloat, medications are given exactly as instructed, and an emergency veterinary hospital is located about 15 minutes away if ever needed. To provide individualized care, I intentionally keep my group sizes small—typically no more than three guest dogs at a time. I thoughtfully consider each dog’s temperament, play style, and comfort before allowing them to interact. I use calm, positive handling and never punishment-based methods. If a dog shows signs of stress or unsafe behavior, they are immediately separated, monitored closely, and their owner is notified.
