Doggy Day Care Saguaro Miraflores

About: I've had dogs most of my life. First was Lance, a Springer Spaniel, when i was 4-yrs old. Add German Shorthair Pointers, Weimeraners, Labs, both English and Anerican Cocker Spaniels, terrier mix breeds and my current pup is a Long Hair Chihuahua. Most of my dogs have been shelter rescues. Also, I foster dogs for local shelters. I am retired and spend most of my time at home working in my new garden reading, or crafting. When we have dog guests, our time is devoted primarily to our visitors. Human away time rarely exceeds 4-hrs per day. I have a large fenced yard to run and play in whenever they want Chewy, the Chihuahua, is a friendly companion. Indoors is a dog-friendly/dog priority 3-bdrm home. Plenty of space if a visitor needs some quiet privacy or a mim with pups wants separation. Daily walks add to our exercise regime. Balls, frisbees and dogs are shared. Treats abound!

“Amber absolutely loves going over to have a fun day with her besties at Adria’s house! Amber is a very shy dog, so I know she truly loves it there because every time I drop her off, she runs out of my car, her tail is wagging like crazy, and she is always so happy and excited to willingly run right into the house. That alone gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s somewhere she feels comfortable and safe. Adria is such a wonderful dog lover and is incredibly reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I always feel completely comfortable leaving Amber with her while I’m at work because I know she’s getting so much love, attention, and care. I couldn’t recommend Adria enough; she is truly amazing. 100/10! 🐾❤️”

About: I have been around cats and dogs my entire life. I love the unconditional love animals bring to ones home and heart. I am a long time volunteer at the Humane Society as a foster, providing a loving home to kittens. Yes, I'm a foster fail! Delilah was a senior that had Life can be busy so if you need someone to drop in and check on your fur babies, I’d love to help you. Whether you are out of town or working long hours, I can help! Thanks for looking and hope to hear from you soon!

“Natasha was so responsive and took great care of Echo.”

“Melissa is amazing! Our pup took to her instantly and seemed happy and comfortable really quickly. Mellisa is great about sending pictures and a little report card at the end of a stay. She is a kind, organized and it’s obvious how good she is with animals! Highly, highly recommend her!!”

“Chris was great! Super flexible to work with and sent plenty of update pictures and videos showing me how much fun Pickles was having! I will definitely be using him again next time I’m in town!”

About: When I moved into my house in 2018, one of my first priorities was to get a dog. Recently, Addie, who spent the past 7 years with me, had to be put down unexpectedly. I miss her a ton, and I would love to open my home to another dog (the yard just calls out for it), but I am unable to adopt at the moment for logistical/financial reasons. I would love for your pets and I to keep each other company while I work from home during the day! I am a diligent and reliable person who works remotely as a paralegal, so I always need excuses (whether walks, play, food, snuggles, or just potty breaks) to get up from my desk and move at intervals throughout the work day. I love animals of all kinds - in addition to my own dog, I can submit my friends' pets as references (Mildred the cat likes me better than her owner's wife, and Maggie the dog is obsessed with me while spurning every other friend her owners have). I'm also a birdwatcher and a huge fan of all the wildlife in my yard, from bunnies to lizards. My dog training and medical/senior pet care skills are limited, but I am open to learning and strongly attentive to detail - I will be sure to give your pet what they need. I work from home during the week, with approximate hours of 7 am - 4 pm M-F. On Tuesdays I have appointments in the afternoons, so I will not be available for day care that day. Weekend availability will depend on my plans. I don't have any pets at home currently. I have a screened-in patio with a dog door leading to the fenced-in backyard. When the weather is nice (not too hot), I like to work in the patio. The yard backs onto a wash, so there is a lot of wildlife in the area. Javelinas and coyotes frequent the area but cannot get into the yard. I have seen two rattlesnakes in the yard in 7 years of living here. I would not leave small/medium dogs or cats outside unsupervised. If you give permission, I would feel comfortable leaving large dogs who are snake trained outside while I'm in the house (as I often did with my 80 lb golden doodle).

“Alondra was really awesome with our dog Mackie. She gave Mackie lots of exercise and playtime, played with family and met new friend puppies too. We left Mackie with Elondra on two separate consecutive days, he was always happy and wore out when we picked him up. There's a large secure yard in a very nice neighborhood, we didn't have to worry one bit about leaving our baby with Alondra. We'd give 10 stars if we could.”

About: I've been a dog owner for 15 years. Friends trust me with their dogs and have even left me to care for their fur babies for up for 2 1/2 weeks. I have a large fenced yard with enough space to run and play! I'm a work from home graphic designer with flexible hours so I can give lots of TLC to your dog. I work from home full-time with flexible hours, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 2pm... I have large fenced yard for running and playing. My friendly little dog can keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

“My dog Oma was so calm after spending the day with Elizabeth and her dogs. She was well cared for 💛”

“Pamela was absolutely amazing with our 14 year old Benji. She made his stay very comfortable, and she sent us pictures to let us know he was happy and safe!”

“I had a meet and greet with Sylvie I was so impressed with her knowledge, confidence, and compassion with dogs. Her house is very homey and warm and inviting environment. He was very comfortable as if he was at home. My dog can't wait to get started. So he had his first daycare and I was very impressed with Sylvie handled his first day. She's brilliant”

Erin B.

“We all loved Jewel and Scout! Louie was nervous, but usually is at a new place. I could tell he was going to be comfortable with them both after meeting and talking. He did great and I couldn't be happier with the care given by Jewel. Thank you so much!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was young, so being around them feels natural to me. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving their dogs attention and exercise. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I wanted to become a Conservation Biologist at one point of my life instead I went into Public Health! My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I make sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I'm a PhD student and do a lot of work from home. Live close to campus. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment in my pet-friendly apartment, with access to a small yard and nearby Himmel Park for regular walks and exercise. I carefully follow all care instructions, monitor pets closely, and ensure they feel secure and comfortable at all times. I'm a traveler and can't have my own pets but a temporary pet companion is always welcome and adored!
