Took good care of our fur babies on short notice when we had a last minute cancel. Also great contact when our kitty decided to hide. She was discovered hiding in the room! Recommend for pet care!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 09, 2025

Melinda was amazing with Arlo. She so kindly met us at Snow bowl in Flagstaff and took Arlo on the Katchina trail while we went on the Gondola. Arlo immediately felt comfortable with her. She took great care of him and sent pictures throughout the trail. I will definitely book her again when in Flagstaff!

There are 5 main things I would like to know about your fur baby. One: Is your dog okay with other dogs, and people? Two: Does your dog have any dietary restrictions, I know some allow there dogs to eat table food while other don't. Three: If your dog as any special needs, can include things like, medicine, physical activity time ,etc.. Four: If your dogs is house trained Five: If you will be dropping off a crate for your pet(s). If you want to share any more information regarding any triggers or favorite treats or new tricks you are working on, I am more than willing to listen. Thanks :)
