Pet care experience
Hey Tucson, do you stress out who will take care of your older dog when you leave town? Stress no more. A Tucson Tail specializes in providing TLC for your dog while you’re away. Because I live with and am loved by two senior greyhounds, I request that your dog weigh a MINIMUM OF 25 POUNDS BUT NOT MORE THAN 85 POUNDS and BE AT LEAST 3 YEARS OLD. Dogs must also be altered. Older more calmer dogs who get along with other dogs work best in this household. For new clients, a meet-and-greet in my home is required. Your dog receives 1-to-1 attention. An average day includes: morning walk, lounging on soft beds, feeding, playtime, made in the USA treats, pampering & some grooming (brushing, paw balm massage). No extra charge for medications, if applicable. I’m hands-on, mostly-retired. Pickup/drop-off flexible; will transport/extra fee. I have been a greyhound adopter since 1998, am active in the local pet rescue community and fund-raise for animal charities. Upon request, I give 10% donation back to the animal charity of your choice for a minimum of 7/nights or longer stays. "Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole." ~ Roger Caras
Reviews
We're delighted that Karyn was able to welcome Mattie for her second visit with Karyn and her two greyhounds. Mattie fit right in and we felt relaxed about a long holiday away. When we arrived to pick her up, Mattie was pleased to see us, but not ecstatic--proof that she truly enjoyed her holiday home. We'll definitely book a return stay.
Karyn took great care of my greyhound - very thoughtful and thorough care. My dog looked relaxed and happy when I picked her up after almost a week! I appreciated the daily pictures and updates as well. I will definitely be contacting Karyn for any dog boarding needs in the future.
Kingston & Mandy love Karyn & her hounds. They come back home relaxed & happy!
We are thankful to have someone like Karyn to take care of our dog. We are repeat customers of hers. We also like that Karyn does not take lots of dogs at one time. Her dogs are clearly easy to get along with. Thanks so much Karyn.

My former senior racing greyhounds do best with laid back dogs who weigh 25+ pounds and are less playful and more couch potato. YOUR DOG MUST BE SOCIALIZED WITH OTHER DOGS. Good breed matches are greyhounds, sight hounds, standard poodles, labradoodles, golden doodles, beagles, some mixes, labs, goldens...dogs that are socialized well with other dogs. Please NO small dogs, NO miniature dogs. DUE TO MY HOME INSURANCE I CANNOT TAKE: Pit Bulls & Staffordshire Terriers. Doberman Pinschers. Chows. Rottweilers. Presa Canarios. German Shepherds. Great Danes. Akitas..
A typical day
We can walk around the neighborhood. I have a large fenced yard to play fetch or take a few laps. My dogs like to play hide and treat. Your dog might like to play too.
