Pet care experience

Specializing in small dogs.

In order to create a safe environment for our smaller friends, I only accept dogs under 25lbs. I have been a preschool and kindergarten teacher most of my life. I bring the same love and care to the animals in my home, that I brought to the children in my class. I have had dogs all my life. I know how important they are to you. They are that important to me as well.

Ron is the best! My dog Maisie walks right in and leans in for pats. She loves Ron and his dogs and is so happy with them

The dogs love hanging out at Ron’s with Lily and Canoli! Ron sent daily updates and it was clear they were living the dream!

Ron's home is very welcoming and is a wonderful place to have your pup stay at. The backyard gives lots of room to roam

Ron is just the best. I was so surprised to get pictures the first morning and throughout the stay. My family and I were so confident our entire trip we didn't worry and we're able to focus on our tasks. Highly recommend.

We had just moved to Tucson and I contacted Ron because of his great reviews. And he absolutely lived up to them! Murphy is very protective around me and I appreciate Ron for understanding that and giving Murphy a chance to settle in. I also really appreciated the regular photos of Murphy playing with Ron’s sweet dogs, and the messages talking about how Murphy was doing. I picked up Murphy and she looked happy and satisfied, which is always what I want when I drop Murphy off. I am glad I trusted Ron with Murphy
