Dog Boarding Rita Ranch

“As always, a stay with Stephen and Tammy was great. I never feel bad about leaving my boy there as I know he is treated well and has a great time. I drive there from Green Valley. Worth every mile!”

“I boarded my 20 pound Miniature Schnauzer with Ron for a period of ten days while in Hawaii. My pup is an important part of my family and I want him to feel as if he is also having a vacation while I am away. After carefully researching every available boarding option I decided on Ron. I met Ron for a meet and greet before the actual boarding and his responsible and trustworthy nature was evident. Ron also has a beautifully landscaped and secure back yard. Lastly, Ron's Poodle Lily made an excellent companion to my proportionately sized Miniature Schnauzer. In my opinion, the combination of these qualities make's Ron the best choice for small dog boarding in Tucson. My schnauzer had a joyous time frolicking and cuddling with Ron's poodle while I was away. Ron did a great job of sending photos. The photos showed that my pup was eating, enjoying time on the couch and even cuddled in bed next to Ron's poodle. I received photos throughout my trip (not just the first few days) and these photos convinced me that my pup was having just as much fun as I was. Ron is a primary school teacher which is an occupation that I have much respect for and is illustrative of his good character. Ron also has a love of plants which is evident in his beautiful green yard with lots of shady places for dogs to rest and play. I was also very pleased that Ron has a dog door that my 20 pound schnauzer was able to fit through easily for constant back yard access. Overall, I do not think there is a better choice for small dog boarding in Tucson. My pup actually seemed sad to leave Ron and his poodle Lily. It was a great opportunity for my dog to socialize and play with another well trained dog. My dog came back happy, well exercised and without a trace of anxiety. In conclusion, Ron is a kind, intelligent, and caring animal lover. I would not hesitate to board my much loved miniature schnauzer with him next time I go on vacation. Ron's tranquil home and general attitude make the experience a vacation for your pet.”

“She was fantastic. My dog was comfortable and treated as family. I got daily updates, sometimes multiple as to how things were going. Will definitely be scheduling with Lorena again.”

“Truly the best dog sitter I have ever experienced. She is clearly experienced in dog training and care. My high energy dog can be a lot to care for and he absolutely had the best time of his life!!! I don’t think I’ll be using another sitter!”

“Beth was great with our puppy! She also was exceptional with communication. We could not have asked for a better experience and look forward to using her services again!”

“We just moved to the area and Jenifer graciously agreed to watch my 10 month old puppy on very short notice. Her family did a wonderful job keeping Chase safe and happy! He enjoyed lots of walks, plenty of love and access to the yard. I would absolutely recommend Jenifer to anyone needing a sitter, and I definitely look forward to contacting her next time.”

“Dave is amazing! Our dog is super high energy and takes twice daily meds. Dave has taken care of him twice and he comes home happy, healthy, and calm! He is awesome about sending pictures and updates. He is obviously very experienced with dogs and you can tell he genuinely enjoys hanging out with them. He is the BEST!”

“Darlene watched our little Sophie for 5 days, she sent pictures and communicated fast and friendly. Her environment is safe and dog friendly. She treated Sophie as part of her family. She took excellent care of our 12yr old pup, and I highly recommend her!”

“When we picked up Vinnie & Bear from Shawna and Ethan’s place after a long weekend away, they were happy pups! Having left our dogs with them during our travel over the past few years, we don’t have any worries while away, knowing they welcome them into their home, an environment similar to our own home, with daily walks, naps and play time. We are grateful to have found such capable and caring people to call on. Thanks again, Shawna & Ethan!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was little, whether that was taking care of our cats and dogs or watching a neighbors pet. I worked in the veterinary field for a couple of years and a technician so I am comfortable administering any medications. I am open to sitting dogs of all ages, I just ask that if they aren’t potty trained to please provide a kennel. I have a border collie who loves to make friends so we hope to see your furry friends soon! I am currently a PhD student here at the U of A. I do have classes and work during the weekdays but I am available after 5pm. On the weekends me and my dog take it easy and stay in. I do live in an apartment complex. There are two dog parks present in the complex if you would want me to take your pet to run some energy out (but totally understand if you would prefer no visits to the dog park). I am able to crate any pet that needs to be I just ask that you supply the crate since I do not have one at this time. I do have a 7yr old border collie who loves to meet new friends and is very patient with energetic breeds. I take her on a long walk at least once a day and will definitely take any pet I watch on a long walk too (a girl has to get her steps in).

“Jennifer is really great. She took really great care of St Bernard suri for the weekend and I felt alot better knowing that my dog friend was being well taken care of. Jennifer even help me adjust suri diet to help with some stomach problems she was having. Jenifer is really great and I would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a good pet sitter”

“Sylvie is so incredible with her dogs including Sherman. Sherman is just six months old so she gave him special attention to help him socialize. I continually showed her videos to my golfing buddies because they asked what I was chuckling about. I’ve had dog sitters before but none compare to Sylvie. She is a gem🐶”

“Teddye is an amazing sitter and did great with our little guy. Very quick to send updates and photos. We would love to use them again for our next trip!”

Erin Y.

“Shelia watched our dog Lucky and was so contentious about keeping us updated on his staycation with her. I knew he would be in great care because she had previously watched our last dog who sadly passed. Lucky had a great visit and he can be very timid. Thank you!”

“Marley was so good with Coco!! Grateful for her heart to learn the dog she’s caring for so she was so comfortable. Her dog was so friendly and patient with my high energy pup. Will definitely use her again!!”

“Amazing sitter + family! I have booked with Asia twice now and it’s been a smooth, trusting process everytime. They do have another dog, (which I was nervous about) but Sienna is a sweetheart - her and my dog play very well together. Even when I had a family emergency, she accepted quickly! 10s across the board for Asia!!!”
