“Maggie was absolutely amazing! If I could give her 6 stars I would. From the moment we met her we could tell how caring she was and how much she loves animals. She was so good with our little chihuahua and was amazing about sending updates with photos and videos. We are so thankful we found Maggie and hope to work with her again in the future. If you are looking for someone to take good care of your fur baby, look no further! Maggie is hands down the best!❤️”

“Steve was on time, very professional and pleasant, and most importantly -- Cooper liked him! Cooper can be shy around men and seems often to prefer women, but Steve won him over and they got along just fine. Great job!”

Jeri S.

“Parker took excellent care of Baloo during drop-in visits. He did a great job of following my list of pretty extensive instructions, and spent extra time keeping my anxious boy company. I received daily photos of a happy dog! I will not hesitate to book with Parker and Alysa again.”

“Isabella walked my energetic Aussie on 3 different days while I was out of town. She was reliable and timely and very communicative. You’ll be happy with her service.”

“Tanya is so good with Winston and extremely reliable! She’s very easy to work with and it’s clear that she’s a dog lover. You can trust your fur baby with Tanya :)”

“Melissa took such great care of my dog, gave detailed updates after each walk and plenty of pictures, and worked with me to manage his separation anxiety. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt safe and loved while I was gone. Will definitely be using Melissa again!”

About: Wonderland Dog Resort and Spa is a Doggy Vacation Destination! (Find our NEW page on Facebook) We LOVE dogs in this home! All breeds, all sizes, all ages and ESPECIALLY senior dogs! I have been training, walking, grooming, feeding, and otherwise raising four-legged babies for 32 years. I've cared for many types of dogs with different abilities and special care needs including Duke, a senior golden retriever with severe allergies, a hernia, arthritis, and bone cancer- an energetic 175lb. Yellow lab named Kato, who had search and rescue training best used to deroot small trees during fetch, and to locate his favorite tug-rope for endless hours of training reinforcement, known to him only as "playtime", -a frail teddybear rescue named Chug, with debilitating anxiety and canine behavioral disorder, requiring medication- and Xeno, a husky variety, who requires constant exercise and attention, to name a few. Good pet care comes from recognizing each animal as an individual with needs and then meeting those needs. There is no such thing as a bad dog. Only humans whom don't understand animal cues and how to effectively communicate with them. My goal is to build a relationship with each pet and their families to not only offer needed boarding and walking services, but to support their personal or medical needs and training journey as well. In my home we focus on learning through fun and positive reinforcement for good behavior. Dogs can expect treats for following commands, defecating or urinating outside, and for a reward after bathing or grooming, with owner consent. Dogs requiring medication are welcome, and again will be given a treat for taking meds, with owner consent. Treats are always provided free of charge and you are welcome to supply your own if your dog has dietary restrictions. What to expect: All visiting dogs who are ambulatory are walked a minimum every 2-3 hours and offered playtime in our shaded grass yard for 30-45 minutes at a time 2-3 times a day, unless it is unsafe to do so due to weather. When visiting you, I strive to closely follow your itinerary when provided, or provide well rounded care without instruction through walks, playtime with toys, obedience training, and affection. When not out enjoying activites, visiting dogs will be in an air-conditioned home with access to dog-beds and toys, and unless requested, are not discouraged from going on furniture. There will be other dogs present, since we have 2 very friendly registered service dogs of our own. If we come to you we do not bring our dogs unless requested to do so. Dogs will interact and train with our child to encourage behavioral and training growth in a distracting atmosphere. All dogs will have a safe environment and compassionate care while their humans are away. We will love your fur-babies like they are our own loved ones, every single time, no matter the challenges they face. Dogs dietary and medical needs are my top priority. All feeding and medication schedules will be followed with the strictest adherence. Visiting dogs not on dietary restrictions have unregulated access to food and water while boarding, unless requested otherwise. In home feedings will be as scheduled by client but water will always be checked/changed/filled. Positive reinforcement is our method. We have 2 registered service dogs of our own and will happily assist your training journey. Dogs will be rewarded with treats, unless otherwise requested, any time they go potty outside, follow commands, take meds, bathe, or otherwise complete a task appropriately. All dogs have access to toys, beds, and a crate during boarding. When at my home, leashes are required outdoors, except when we visit the dog park. When visiting your home my goal is to make that visit the highlight of your dogs life! I strive to play with all pets in my care. If your dogs do not take interest in toys, as has been my experience that not all do, that time is spent with cuddles, belly rubs, and command response training, in addition to the scheduled walk or potty break. I make sure the pet feels quality time was spent with them by someone who came just to see them and values their importance in the family. When at my home, dogs are allowed to move freely throughout the house. We have laminate floors that are easy on allergies and make accidents easy to clean up. We keep our home quite cool, with central air, which is great for northern breeds, and we offer plenty of warm soft places to curl up, otherwise. Your pets will be treated like a member of our family. We love animals and want them to have the happiest day of their lives whether they visit us or we come to them. Bathing services offered for non-aggressive pups. Wonderland Dog Resort is in operation 24 hours a day, over 350 days of the year, offering both holiday and extended stay care and is my full-time career, as the owner and operator. Mommy and daddy know best! We follow all itineraries provided and are extremely diligent about following medication regimens, dietary restrictions, and other special needs. We specialize in (but are not limited to) Special Needs dogs. The safety of our pups is our number one concern! We also work with them on command response training to help ensure future safety after they leave. Pet patents recieve photo and video updates an the end of every day. Dogs can expect lots of pets, treats, fetch, tug, gentle brushings, walks, car rides, snuggles, trips to the dog park, and lots of socialization! All dogs are kept on slip-resistant leashes at all times, when not at the dog park. We go out for potties every 1.5-2 hours, walk every 4 hours, and go to the dog park nightly. Dogs socialize under close supervision and are trained on proper socialization. Wonderland is set-up for comfort. Dogs are allowed on furniture and most are able to sleep in our bed with us or are welcome to chose from the large selection of crates, beds, pillows, and blankets. Dog toys are rotated every few days to keep playtime interesting. We keep pups engaged and active and provide companionship to timid and anxious dogs, who may be less playful or experiencing their first time away from home.

About: I have over a decade of experience working with animals, first in the veterinary field and then as a professional dog trainer. I use positive reinforcement methods to help bring out the best in dogs, making training fun and providing structured physical and mental outlets for them. I have experience with all types of dogs, from high energy puppies to mobility challenged seniors. I have also worked with dogs of different temperaments and with specific behavioral needs. I look forward to hearing about your dog and how I can help you bring out the best version of them. I am currently going back to school so I have a flexible schedule, and it changes every few months. Please reach out to ask me about me specific availability and I will do my best to accommodate you. I am happy to provide care for your pets in their home, where they will be most comfortable. I can check in on them, provided them with food, water, potty breaks, and I am happy to hang out and keep them company if that is something you would like. I can also send text and photo updates for you can be confident your pet is being well cared for.

“Jenn was great with our yellow lab Zane, she walked him every day for a week and sent great photos. She’s extremely prompt in communication and we definitely hope to utilize her services regularly!”

About: I'm a current dog dad and lifelong animal lover with 16 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I am a certified dog/cat handler and walker with the local Humane Society, where I actively volunteer in Tucson. I provide walking and enrichment for our furry friends awaiting adoption. Luna, my boxer, is my travel companion and my world, so your dog is in the hands that understand what they mean to you.

I'm self-employed, with a fully flexible schedule that accommodates mornings, evenings, weekends, and even last-minute scheduling. Pet care fits naturally into my day, and I'm always happy to accommodate what works best for you. I take time to actually get to know each dog and their needs before diving in.

Your companions won't just be cared for, they'll be comfortable and loved.

About: Hi! I've had my cat Olive for 11 years and my dog Bel for 3 years. I have also taken care of close to 70 foster animals mostly kittens, with a few medical fosters, and behavioral issues along the way. I have taken courses on behavioral training for dogs as my own dog is reactive towards dogs, so I am very familiar with dog reactivity. I currently run a small 1 man business from my home and have control over my schedule to provide care to other animals regularly. I also foster other animals from time to time. My own dog is reactive and high energy and needs 3 walks a day usually with a lot of play. My cat is a large maincoon that requires a strict diet and care regimen to keep her pre-diabetes in check.

About: I am a recent graduate from Colorado State University majoring in Animal Sciences and minoring in Zoology. During my time completing my undergrad I have had many opportunities taking care of dogs and cats for clients up in Northern Colorado. I am very detail oriented and attentive to my care for your fur babies. I also am known to be a great dog walker and have had some experience handling medication for cats and dogs. I’m currently going through vet tech school at Pima Community College! This semester is all online which allows me to be a bit more flexible with my schedule :) I am at your service and can be flexible with schedules throughout the week with communication! I have reliable transportation that’ll allow me to visit homes and check up on your animals during the day! Currently I am not doing any boarding in my home.

About: I grew up raising a variety of pets from dogs to hamsters, chickens, hermit crabs, ducks and more so I have many years of experience with lots of different animals! I have experience in over night stays, oral medication administration, and basic training skills. I am an online student so my time is flexible. I study environmental science including animal behavior so I know pets well. Message me to see if we’re a good fit! Having a dog myself, I know the feeling of worrying when you’re away. Wether you’re getting off late or need a weekend getaway I’d love to stay with your fur babies! I have very limited space and would recommend keeping your pets in a familiar environment. I can travel to you and would love to hear any safety precautions you would like me to follow when booking my services.

About: I have experience taking care of boarding dogs and cats at an animal hospital. I worked for them for a little over a year and have gotten lots of experience with dogs and cats.

Although I am very safe and responsible. My person pet uses a crate just for her safety when I am gone. I am good with crate training as needed for your pets as well. I make sure I clean up after every day and leave the house as clean as I can before you arrive back home to your happy animals!

About: Growing up I’ve always had dogs in my family. However now that I’m an out-of-state student, I’ve been feeling homesick and it especially doesn’t help that I’m not around any dog love anymore. I heard about Rover through a friend and felt that this would help me with what I’ve been feeling. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! 🐾 I’m a full time student at the U of A with only morning classes, and plenty of time afterwards to have a fun playdate with your furry friend! 🐾 I’m a calm and respectful individual, who will do anything to assure you that your furry friend will be safe at all times in my care.
