Dog Boarding in Pirtleville, AZ

“Woof-woof-woof-woof-woof. Girls give Katie 5 woods. Being with someone new they had a great time. The morning pics helped us enjoy them from a distance. Katie is definitely on speed dial if needed. 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕 Thanks Katie”

“Alex was wonderful! Myles stayed with her for a week while my husband and I were traveling, and they both seemed to enjoy their time together very much. We received photos of Myles playing and acting like his normal goofy self. Knowing he was so happy also made our trip more fun. We can’t thank Alex enough!”

“Selena is wonderful! Our dogs felt comfortable in her home and loved her other dogs. I am relieved to have found such a considerate, kind, and safe person for our dogs to be with when we need a sitter.”

About: I have over 20 years of experience with rescue dogs, seniors, dogs with medical needs, and pups who come with behavior issues, medical issues, a few quirks or big personalities! I’m highly tuned into dog emotions, body language, and energy, and I take the time to understand what each dog needs to feel safe and comfortable. I’ve cared for everything from shy, shut-down rescues to bossy divas to seniors who need medication routines—and I truly enjoy giving each one the individualized care they deserve. My wife is a long-time volunteer with cat rescues and special-needs feline programs, so if your cat needs boarding or extra attention, you’ll have two experienced caregivers looking after them. Together we’ve cared for senior cats, rescue kittens, medical-needs cats, and complex personalities. We’re also comfortable with reptiles, birds, and small animals—your non-fur babies are welcome too! What Sets Me Apart? I specialize in dogs with behavior quirks, special needs, or rescue backgrounds, and I take the time to get to know exactly what your pet needs. Before your stay or daycare visit, I want you to tell me openly about any behavioral issues, triggers, routines, or comfort items. This helps me prepare the home and make a safe, calm environment tailored to your dog. I customize the day and night for each pet—whether that means structured alone time, supervised play, slow introductions, or a quiet, low-stress setup. I’m experienced with combining (or not combining) multiple dogs depending on personalities, energy levels, and safety. I also never feed visiting dogs together with mine, and our bedroom stays off-limits at night so my own dogs have their established safe space. This prevents territorial stress and keeps the environment balanced for everyone. If your dog is crate-trained, we have a cozy, clean crate area they can use. If not, we can use gates, separate rooms, or quiet corners depending on what works best. I’m also comfortable managing multiple dogs at once, dog-and-cat combos, and pets with medical needs or medication schedules. My Home & Setup Our home includes two small, friendly resident dogs who are used to visitors, plus a kitten and a turtle. We have a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and flexible indoor spaces that can be separated as needed. Whether your pet needs interaction, quiet time, a slow intro, or their own area, I can arrange the environment based on their personality and comfort level. Your pet’s emotional needs, safety, and routine are my top priorities. Just tell me all about your baby—their quirks, comforts, fears, and favorites—and I’ll create a plan that’s truly catered to them. Communication As a pet parent for most of my life, I am very aware of the anxiety that sets in when you have to leave your baby! So I will make sure you have regular photos, videos and a "report card" when you are boarding or doing daycare with me. I will always contact you immediately if anything seems irregular or there is a behavior I am unsure of. I work from home and hold a very flexible schedule, so I can accommodate various needs and situations. Whether it is drop-in walks and visits, pet boarding or daycare, I do not have a rigid schedule that will prevent me from making sure they have the care they need (and deserve!). Our home is set up to accommodate a variety of pets and personalities. We have two small, friendly dogs who are used to visitors, as well as a kitten and a turtle. For boarding or doggy day care, I adjust the setup based on each pet’s needs—whether that means supervised play, quiet separation, or crate time in our cozy “bassinet” area. We have gates, separate rooms, and a large fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, plus a doggy door that can be opened or closed as needed. If your pet needs medication or has special requirements, I’m confident and experienced in managing that. Just tell me about your babies, and we’ll build a care plan tailored just for them!

“Tammie and Kiwi were awesome sitters for our pupper. She sent pics and videos of our girl to put our minds at ease and made sure to give her plenty of exercise. Her dog kiwi was a nice chill doggo that got along nicely with our dog. We will definitely call Tammie again when we need a sitter!”
