5 STAR Small Breed Resort Boarding

Pet care experience

I ONLY take Small Breeds, which is very important so your little one will be safe, happy & comfortable. I’m very active with them & am home full time with them in a safe Scottsdale community. I have an awesome backyard for these little ones so they can get fresh air, sunshine relax, & play. There are no small children here & I have cameras to guard the inside & outside as I also board for High End Celebrity clients as well. Safety & security is imperative. The interior of my home is clean, bright, safe, & beautiful. I facilitate whatever you are already doing at home so it’s a smooth transition & stay. There's nothing I can't & won't do to protect & care for your little one. I’ve been boarding & obedience training for over 25 years. I truly know how to care for your dog, keeping them healthy, safe & loved with the highest standards so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I can’t wait to meet your little one! I get to keep 100% of my tips I work hard for here, so thank you so much in advance if you leave me one! It greatly takes up a lot of my time to facilitate meet & greets as I'm typically booked daily with overnights & daycares, so please book a daycare with me if you wish to meet prior to your overnight booking as I cannot have my bookings and meets at the same time or there will be too many dogs here at once 🫶🏼. Thank you for your understanding.

If you’re someone who gets anxious about leaving your dog, I can’t recommend Rachel enough. I always struggle with leaving Winston because I worry about whether he’s happy, comfortable, and getting the attention he needs. From the moment I dropped him off, Rachel’s organized and efficient system made me feel so much more at ease. Everything was well thought out, communication was clear, and I immediately felt like Winston was in good hands. Throughout his stay, Rachel sent videos and updates every single day and was incredibly responsive whenever I had questions. Seeing Winston happy, playing, and genuinely enjoying himself in every video meant so much to me. The biggest testament to the care she provided was Winston himself. After previous boarding experiences, he’s come home anxious, exhausted, or needing a few days to settle back in. This time was completely different. He came home happy, relaxed, and acting like his normal self from the moment I picked him up. It was obvious he had been well cared for and felt comfortable during his stay. Rachel took away so much of the stress and anxiety I normally feel when leaving my dog. Knowing he was safe, loved, and having fun allowed me to actually enjoy my time away instead of constantly worrying. That’s something I don’t take lightly. I’m so grateful for the care she gave Winston, and I would trust her with him again without hesitation.

Rachael is so amazing with my little pup!! She was great about sending updates daily and I felt 100% comfortable boarding my dog with her. Will definitely be rebooking the next time I am needing a sitter :)

Rachael was awesome! Cali had such a great time socializing with the other pups. Her small breed resort is safe, clean and the perfect place for your pup to enjoy a little vacation. This was my first time boarding Cali and Rachael put me at ease right from the start. I also love the daily videos. Highly recommend!
