Dog Boarding Santa Cruz Southwest

“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.”

“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!”

“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 are so pleased with the care Erica gave my mom’s dog while she was on vacation. We received daily updates and photos of her dog. She made sure he was comfortable and secure. They went on daily walks and had other friends to play with. Rates were very affordable. She even offered to drop off my mom’s dog for her as she is elderly and doesn’t feel safe driving at night. 5-Star service all the way.”

“I had to leave last minute to Phoenix to help take care of my mom while my dad was away for work. Since the stay home order has been really hard on everyone, I didn’t think I would be able to find someone to take care of my dog. He’s very skittish, and gets stressed out and scared around men, so not many people I talked to could take him. Vicky was AMAZING. She sent me pictures 2-3 times daily and updated me on how he was doing. She even sent me a few videos! I was so scared to leave him with someone he had never met before, but he adjusted so well to Vicky’s kind and gentle nature and let him have exploring time in her home. I will forever be deeply grateful for what Vicky has done for me and Magnum, and her genuine kindness and passion she has for this work! I will be coming to Vicky for any dog boarding I need for Magnum! Honestly, I think if you’re reading this review that you should too. Vicky is incredibly kind and loving towards your pet, and always keeps you updated, so I will repeat with her again!!”

“We needed someone to watch our older dog while we were away for a week. Being new to the area we really didn't know anyone and we wanted our dog to be in a home environment where she wouldn't be alone. My wife found Cynthia on Rover and we went over to meet her. We were immediately impressed by the secure yard and surroundings. Our dog immediately bonded with her little dog Chewey. To make sure, we arranged two "play days" to make sure that all went well. Everything went better than expected and I, being an overly protective pet parent, felt at ease with leaving our dog for a week. I had nothing to worry about. Cynthia took great care of our dog, sent us regular updates including pictures and videos. She let our dog settle-in at her house where ever our dog felt most at ease and took her out for regular walks and time in the yard. When we came back we found that our dog had such a good time that I'm not sure she wanted to leave! Needless to say that Cynthia will be our first choice to watch our dog whenever the need arises! Your dog will be in good hands.”

“Kat took excellent care of my little Reina. I received updates on her quite frequently. Reina was taken on several walks and appeared to get a long well with Kat’s small pups. Thank you for all the care!”

“My first ever time leaving my little Georgie, I felt comfortable knowing that he was in safe and knowledgeable hands. The proximity is a bonus too! I look forward to booking her for future drop ins!”

“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!”

“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🐶”

“So lovely! Haley was so kind, and Stewart was so happy when we picked him back up! She even took him for runs with Noodle. Could not have asked for a better set up.”

“Ms Catalina’s AMAZING! She took very good care of our Mr Wick- very flexible, kept and kept us updated everyday. We are so happy and we’ll definitely see her again. Thank You so much, T. Family-”

“As always, Dan is quick to respond, sends pictures of Boomer and is very kind in working around our schedule. We appreciate you Dan!! Boomer always seems so happy in the pictures. We will continue to be repeat customers!”

“My pupper had a great time with Richard. We needed someone last minute and they came through and had a beautiful home to stay in with an awesome back yard.”

Philip S.

“The girls were well cared for during their overnight stay. Barb makes sure they are exercised, safe and loved. We appreciate the photos/videos and updates.”

Wendy W.

“I can't recommend her enough! We had a last-minute trip to Tucson and needed someone to watch our puppy on very short notice. She was so accommodating and welcomed him without hesitation, which took so much stress off our shoulders. Throughout the weekend, she kept us updated with pictures and messages, so we always knew he was happy and well cared for. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Thank you again for taking such great care of our little Bean! 💙 We'll definitely be booking with you again the next time we travel.”

Jasmine M.

“She was really flexible with drop off / pick up times! Great communication and I really loved the cute picture of Karma she sent! She clips her own tag to the puppers collar for addition safety and peace of mind which I really appreciated!!”

Nicole S.

“Our dogs seemed to enjoy their stay at Gail's. She sent us daily pics and updates. Will definitely board our dogs with Gail the next time we have to leave town.”

“I am so happy and relieved to have found Katarina. I hate having to be away from my little guy, but I feel so much better knowing he is with Katarina in her home. He we clearly so loved and cared for while I was away. So grateful for Katarina and her family.”

“Julie was so patient with my 10 month old puppy, she kept me updated through text messages and pictures every day! That gave me the confidence to enjoy my trip without having to worry if my pup was being treated well. I will continue to book with Julie for as long as she is available!”
