Dog Boarding El Cortez

“Rich and Jeanette were a perfect fit for Jack. They stayed in touch with us and sent pictures of Jack chilling. If you want your fur baby loved and cared for as you would yourself, Rich and Jeanette are a no brainer. We’ve used Rover.com in other states while traveling and have never been disappointed. Thank you again Rich and Jeanette.”

“Thank you David and Sheila. We appreciate all the communication before, during and after the stay for our 2 fur babies. Greatly appreciate it.”

“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.”

“We needed a sitter for our two big dogs at the last minutes and we are so glad Vicky was available! Lina and Vega were so happy when we picked them up and the photos Vicky sent throughout their stay showed how much love she was giving them. Vicky will be our first choice from now on!”

“Michelle and her husband are wonderful. They helped me out in a pinch and more importantly, they are very responsible and caring dog handlers. They are great people and I felt very comfortable with them taking good care of my little guy.”

About: 🚨 Availability: Mon–Thu (5–9:30 AM & after 5 PM) | Fri (5–8:30 AM & after 1 PM) | Sat–Sun (Fully Open!). Hi! We're Caitlin and Kai! We've been caring for dogs, cats, small animals, fish, and frogs since our early childhoods. We have extensive experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. We both grew up caring for high-energy large breed dogs, as well as smaller dogs. We currently own Ginger, our rescue spaniel mix, and have lots of experience caring for dogs with allergies, specialized diets, and separation anxiety. Caitlin has experience caring for dogs recovering from serious illness and injuries as well, including oral/topical medication delivery and wound care. She is always willing to learn how to administer injections when guided by your pup's vet as well. We are currently available available on mornings between 5-9am, and every weekday evening/night after 5pm. Beginning on Friday at 1pm, we have open availability for care at any time through Sunday at 10pm. We're typically awake early mornings to care for our own pets, and those trusted to our care. We are always available for walks and drop-ins outside of my lab hours (10-5 M-Th, 9-1 F). Weekend/Holiday house-sitting, boarding, and doggy daycare are available outside of lab hours to ensure your furry family member has our full attention during the duration of their/our stay. We aim to offer individualized attention to every beloved pet in our care, whether in our home or yours. I strive to maintain your furry family member’s routine as much as possible, and provide an enriching environment that meets their needs. We love to provide lots of play and affection for each dog or cat in our care on their terms. In addition to unlimited potty breaks, we will provide all walks needed, and ensure a safe and clean environment. We aim to provide structure and adhere to the expectations of each pet owner in addressing the dietary, cleanliness, and activity of each individual animal. Food containers, toys, yards, litterboxes, puppy pads, crates, and water sources are maintained and cleaned as needed to ensure the wellbeing and health of pets, as we would do for our own fur family.

“Sylvie’s is a wonderful place to board your dog. She is attentive and caring. She shared videos throughout my dog’s stay, which was appreciated. I could tell that my dog was happy and well taken care of during her stay. I truly appreciate Sylvie’s willingness to board my dog while I was away and will definitely recommend her to others!”

“Marraya and her mom were very accommodating and helpful when our other sitter fell through the day we were leaving on our trip. Our pup was taken care of and we received daily updates. Highly recommend”

About: I have lots of experience with dogs and cats. Throughout my childhood animals were my escape from reality. My dad bred dogs and I always loved them so much it was hard to say goodbye. In high school I took in a stray cat and it kept getting pregnant so I raised like 5 litters of kittens as well. To be honest I like animals more than people your babies are in good hands. I like to walk and get my steps in everyday so it won’t be much different walking with the doggos. I have dog and catsit for close friends and family but never strangers. Excited to do it! I work from home and my job is very flexible. I am my own boss so I can pretty much take breaks whenever I need to take your fur baby on walks or feed them as well as give them lots of attention when needed. My availability is very open and I love all animals. Since I work from home I’ll always be here to make sure your animal is well cared for and happy. I also go on multiple walks daily anyways to try and stay active so its perfect!!

About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was little, whether that was taking care of our cats and dogs or watching a neighbors pet. I worked in the veterinary field for a couple of years and a technician so I am comfortable administering any medications. I am open to sitting dogs of all ages, I just ask that if they aren’t potty trained to please provide a kennel. I have a border collie who loves to make friends so we hope to see your furry friends soon! I am currently a PhD student here at the U of A. I do have classes and work during the weekdays but I am available after 5pm. On the weekends me and my dog take it easy and stay in. I do live in an apartment complex. There are two dog parks present in the complex if you would want me to take your pet to run some energy out (but totally understand if you would prefer no visits to the dog park). I am able to crate any pet that needs to be I just ask that you supply the crate since I do not have one at this time. I do have a 7yr old border collie who loves to meet new friends and is very patient with energetic breeds. I take her on a long walk at least once a day and will definitely take any pet I watch on a long walk too (a girl has to get her steps in).

“Christina was so easy to work with and our dog Lizzie loved her. She was so conscientious about Lizzie’s care and very flexible with our changing schedule! We’ll definitely contact her again.”

“Julia was wonderful! She was incredibly flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times and communicated with us throughout our dog’s stay. It was clear that he was happy and well cared for, and we loved getting regular updates and fun pictures. We really appreciated how attentive and accommodating she was. Thank you, Julia, for taking such great care of our pup!”

Luisa G.

“Our dog had a great stay with Elizabeth over Christmas! She kept us updated, sent pictures of her adventures and was really kind and flexible! You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and is great with all kinds. She has a fenced yard, and we could tell our dog was well cared for and had so much fun!”

Kristin H.

“Mercedez did a wonderful job taking care of both our dogs! We would highly recommend her and if we bring the dogs back to Tucson, we would for sure use her services! Thank you again!”

Maria D.

“The best dog sitters we could ask for! We have returned to them multiple times because we know they will give our fur baby the best care and love!”

Christine P.

“Lacey was so sweet, so accommodating, communicative, and always quick to respond. I’m so grateful for her help and I would 100% choose her again to take care of Rusty. We had a great experience with her. Thank you again!”

“Kathy is by far the best dog sitter I have ever had. She was so good to my fur babies. They loved her and her awesome place. There’s not enough stars for her review. Easy to interact with and amazing updates and pictures.”

Sydney H.

“Jodi is an excellent pet sitter who gave my little Oso (pomeranian) lots of love and care. She was very attentive and integrated him into her family immediately. She gave me daily updates and sent pictures! I really appreciate the peace of mind she offered while my baby was away from him family 🥰 Thank you Jodi!”

Adalis F.

“This is my second time booking with niko. He took really good care of my baby boy. Communication was smooth! He updates me regularly about my dog. He works from home so guaranteed that he’ll be with your dog 24/7. I highly recommend him!! ❤️ Will definitely book with him again.”

Rojeana J.

“Sonya was excellent while boarding Zorro, and her dogs were very welcoming to him! She was super communicative, and she even sent photos and videos to keep me in the loop. Zorro was extremely happy staying with Sonya, and he was definitely tired from all the play time! I will definitely be rebooking with Sonya in the future!”
