Information Sheila S. would like to know about your pet

I have had dogs all of my adult life mostly big ones so I have had a lot of experience taking care of them. Mellow and I were together for almost 14 years, I was fortunate to find him on Craigslist after my last big dog passed away. He passed away March, 2026. I adopted April in the Spring of 2016 and she was with us until August 2020 when she passed away peacefully at home. We adopted Jaxon in January 2021 as a puppy and he loves to play with his friends when they come to stay. We have a small shaded, fenced yard and a doggie door at our house. We are centrally located near the U of A.

A typical day

When the weather is nice we spend a lot of time in the back yard. We love to go on walks in the neighborhood too.

Pet care experience

David & I can accommodate small dogs at our home with a doggie door and completely enclosed pet area. Bring your furry friends to stay at our home near Grant Rd. and Tucson Blvd. We are happy to host up to 2 dogs at a time for up to 2 weeks per visit so that everyone gets the love and attention they want and deserve. We welcome only small dogs as our guests. We go for walks most mornings and evenings weather permitting and would love to have company and there's unlimited indoor/outdoor playtime at home in our fully fenced, secure back yard. We are very casual about dogs on the furniture and sometimes in bed too so your pals can feel right at home. We do not administer injected medication or brush teeth but can give oral medication. We also offer: - Bathing - Additional walks - Care for elderly dogs - transportation for you to and from the airport for an additional fee. Please inquire about these additional services! Looking to board your pup for the holidays? We are available! We can't wait to meet you and your fur-babies!

They took great care of Bentley and Royce. They are worn out and had a good time.

Our dog has stayed with Sheila and Dave multiple times. He is always well cared for and happy when he is there. Shiela sends pictures regularly and we can see this. We would highly recommend Shiela and Dave.
