We absolutely loved our stay with Scout and the chooks in the mountains. Nat and Jeremy made us feel so welcome and we just adored being Scouts temporary family. The location was beautiful, we have completely fallen in love with the mountains ❤️
We loved our stay with Wiley and Bodhi at Kathleen’s cozy home in Albuquerque! The cats are low maintenance and adorable, providing cuddles and comfort. As well as exploring ABQ (first time there) and environs, we worked from home there as needed, complete with the emotional support cats. From one “office” was a view of the backyard that was a aflutter with bird activity. I happily fed the feathered friends daily – one of the things on Kathleen’s to-do list. Her communication and instructions prior to our stay were clear; she was very responsive if anything came up during the stay. All to say, would go back in a flash!
I enjoyed my housesit in Swanage very much. Janine welcomed me and explained everything concerning the house and Bea. During my stay, we stayed in contact via whatsapp. It was a pleasure to meet Janine. I had to take care of Bea, a very friendly Labrador, who got very attached to mee. She accompanied me on all the beautiful walks around Swanage and along the coast. We had a great time together. The house is tiny but very comfortable, clean and with everythig you need and with a spectacular view. If you like a rural, quite location, this sit is for you. Thank you, Janine, for having me. Definitely a 5 star sit.
We had a wonderful time staying at Als and Jay's place in Anglesey and enjoyed their pupps Betty and Frank. Our walks with them on the nearby beaches or parks were so much fun and they are adorable with each their cute individual characters. By halftime of our stay we even let them off the leads and they were well behaved. Als and Jay were so kind to pick us up and drive yo their place and even let ys use their car, which all made it very comfortable to stay at their cozy home.
We had the best time in Cambridge looking after the sweetest boy, Ralph! He is a very clever and well behaved pup. Anna & Anna were very welcoming and easy to communicate with. They answered all questions and provided a super helpful and detailed welcome guide. Their home is lovely and in a stunning part of the world. Thank you Anna and Anna for allowing us into your beautiful home with your beautiful boy!
Shelley and Jacob provided a spotless, inviting home in a quiet neighborhood in Albuquerque. I felt safe and enjoyed the patio in the evenings. Detailed instructions were left and Shelley and Jacob talked me through the routine of caring for their beautiful cats. Everything went exactly as they said it would and there were no surprises. Shelley stayed in close contact by text. Lukin and Churro were both rather shy and did not seek much physical affection, but Lukin did sleep with me, and Churro liked to be in the same room to enjoy my hands-off company. It was a challenge to persuade Lukin to allow me to give him his medication since he was good at hiding out of reach, but as I gained his trust, it got easier. I think someone with a calm, quiet demeaner and patience would be the best fit. Shelley and Jacob are gracious hosts and I would recommend this sit.

We were so lucky to find Auntie Cathy while we were in Tucson this past month. We could tell Tawny loved going here by the way she would pull to get into the house and see our friends. Cathy was amazing in her approach to making sure Tawny adapted to being there. The place is incredibly well set up for the pups. It’s clear Auntie Cathy loves each pup. Thanks for taking care of our Tawny
Auntie Cathy's is the best. Loving home environment. My dog has separation anxiety. But not at Auntie Cathy's. This is the first time ever that my dog did not have separation anxiety. When I pull up. My dog can't wait to get out and start running to the gate to get in. He than runs into the house like it is home. Brings tears to my eyes. My dog is soo 😊 happy there. Auntie Cathy has a treat time where all the dogs sit in front of her waiting their turn for a treat. Very impressive 👏. Auntie Cathy told me she has Love Time everyday ❤️. That is when she lays on the floor and let's the dogs jump on her. Wow!! I want to do that!! Love Love love ❤️ 💖 Auntie Cathy's Dog Daycare
Auntie Cathy watched our two dogs for the first time and we can’t wait to go back to her. (I’m pretty sure our dogs won’t want to leave her). We have two young and pretty needy/anxious dogs and Cathy was so kind and patient with them. We were so happy to have found a place that does not keep them in a kennel. You can tell Cathy really loves animals and what she does. We also really appreciated the photos/videos and updates from her once a day. We really can’t say enough great things about Cathy for keeping our dogs happy and safe. It made our vacation so much more enjoyable not having to stress about our dogs.
Auntie Cathy is simply the BEST dog caregiver there is! She was recommended to us on very short notice and was so accommodating. We couldn't have been happier with the experience. She was so kind and patient with our shy dog and extremely thorough. (We could tell he loved her too!) Her policies and procedures put us at ease, and the daily updates with photos made us even happier. She also followed up with a wonderful card a few days later. Such a special and warm-hearted lady. We will definitely be calling Auntie Cathy for all future pet sitting next time we visit Tucson!
Auntie Cathy is amazing, trustworthy, genuinely cares and loves your pet, and takes care of your fur baby so well that my dog comes home happier than ever after staying with her! I am always super nervous finding a new boarding place for my dog as she is very shy, nervous, and has slight separation anxiety but Auntie Cathy and my dog bonded immediately during the meet and greet and had no issues staying with her for multiple nights away from me! Auntie Cathy will text you updates throughout the day about how your dog is doing, she will send videos and photos, and just answer any questions and assure you that your dog is doing fine. She recently moved from her old location to her new place in Casas Adobes area (85641 zip code) and it is a nice area with lots of room for the dogs to play and run around. She also is very diligent about any specialized care needs or treatments for your dog. I unfortunately moved to Mesa and was very disappointed that I needed to search for a new boarding place.. but after doing some searching around my new area, I finally decided I am going to make the 2 hours drive down to Tucson just so Auntie Cathy can look after my fur baby when I am gone on vacations as I only trust her with my dog now <3 I highly recommend her to all Tucsonians that are searching for pet day care or boarding services!!!
After some research I chose Auntie Cathy's Dog Care to watch my 6 yr old rescue pup for a week...which was the longest we had been separated in the 8 months since her adoption. I never should have been nervous! Cora was lovingly cared for and certainly had a great time playing with her new friends. I will definitely bring her back to Auntie Cathy's for day visits too!
Aunti Cathy is FABULOUS!! She’s fabulous to the dogs and their owners. Cathy us detailed and meticulous to understand your dogs needs. She cares for your dog like they’re hers. She lets my dog sleep in bed with her even! She’s excellent at making sure dogs are well suited to be with each other and she clearly runs the house! Her place is immaculate- never any smell of dog and never any poop in her yard. She keeps it clean which I appreciate. And there are so many other little things Cathy does that make her extra special - training, bathing, brushing teeth, favorite toys, regular updates and pictures, etc.
Cathy is the absolute best, she takes such great care of my pup, I would never go anywhere else. She really loves animals and you can tell by how happy your dog is as you pull up to her house, they never want to leave! But seriously if you are looking for a great person to take care of your dog while you are out of town, she is the one! 5 Stars! Thanks Cathy ( :
I could write a book on how much I love Auntie Cathy!! I just moved to the area and I interviewed a few places before finding her. I feel beyond blessed! Jackson adores her. Cage free and she even let him sleep on her bed because he has such bad anxiety. Daily texts, pictures and video updates captures just how adoring and loving she is with all the animals. Without a doubt Auntie Cathy is the most trustworthy and compassionate person to care for any fur-baby. The attention and love she gives them is like nothing I’ve ever seen. Priceless!! 💕💕💕
Aunt Cathy is by far our first choice for a dog sitter. Ivy is a high strong vizsla demanding attention and used to constant with little to no time alone. We have done day trips as well as week long trips. Cathy videos, texts and sends photos to keep us up to date and informed just enough to ease our mind in our absence. Cathy is loving, caring and dedicated to her profession. We have great appreciation for the training tips she provides. Sincerely, Chris, Regina & Ivy “Jean” Krueger
My dog, Gary has been attending paws up for several weeks. Now he is a rescue dog. He has been doing wonderfully. It has helped socialize him. I couldn’t be more pleased. Looking forward to actually signing him up for some obedience classes. Also highly recommend for any of your four-footed family.
Paws Up is great. My puppy (now a 13-month-old) was understandably nervous about being dropped off in the early weeks. Since getting to know the place, she runs in with excitement when dropper off. Everyone is caring and they send daily photo shoots of the dogs playing together. It is great that they screen new dogs for compatibility and appropriate temperment to ensure that all dogs are nice and friendly.
My dog has the BEST time at daycare. He is a younger pup who is still learning good manners and boundaries. The staff and owner (Aixa) have been amazing working with him, and their communication with me has been fantastic. It really takes a village, and they understand that. You can tell how much they care about the dogs, and we all feel like part of the pack. My favorite part is that the groups are smaller and they match dogs together based on temperament. So my pup can be a in the whackadoodle group which fits his personality well.
Our English Bulldog, Charlie has been going to Paws Up for almost a year now. It makes us so happy that he has somewhere to go and play while we are at work. Not only that but the staff here really do care about all dogs, no matter their challenges. The owner, Aixa has a lot of respect for these animals and understands them. I would highly recommend signing up for some of their trainings. We plan to keep taking Charlie here for daycare weekly and doing more training in the future.
My pup LOVES this place and is always excited when he gets to go. I love that I get daily picture updates through their Facebook. The staff has always been super kind and they really work with the dogs to teach them better play manners and make sure that they're grouping the same temperament, size, personality, etc. together.
The staff is knowledgeable, caring, and always provides thoughtful updates on my dog's progression as he gets used to daycare and makes friends. Most importantly, my dog runs like a maniac to get inside and is buzzing with joy when I come to get him. He sleeps like a rock the rest of the day. I believe the staff truly understands dog behaviors and this makes for a very safe and fun experience for the dogs. I strongly recommend Paws up.
Can't speak highly enough about Paws Up. We brought our first dog (lab/shepherd mix) here until she passed and we now, we just started bringing our new puppy (Aussie) here for 1/2 days. It's so nice because they arrange the dogs into play groups based on their personalities. Our new pup always runs in the morning (and does not look back) and then comes out super tired after. It's such a relief because she gets a chance to get all of her energy out without us having to use all of ours 😂
**edit: my dog is Calvin A little bummed that when I brought my puppy for his test day, they told me he was "on probation" and couldn't come back until he was better trained. Again, he is a puppy, and loves playing with other dogs, so it's a bit hard to train him to be in an environment where he's around a bunch of other dogs. He's not at all aggressive, I guess he was just too high energy for this daycare...Which I thought was a shame since he looked like he had fun in the pictures they posted of him on their Facebook.
Our dog absolutely loves it here. All the staff is well trained and do a great job of pairing dogs with others that play in the same style!
I will always be grateful that my husband and I walked into Paws Up with my dog 3 years ago. Paws Up is a fantastic daycare. They are responsive and flexible, which has been such a blessing while I've been in school. They also really understand the dogs. My dog came in terrified of other dogs and needed time to acclimate. They took it slow everyday until eventually, my girl could rough it with the barn dogs. Even though she has made tremendous gains in the dog department, she prefers humans and Paws Up has learned to work within her personality to make sure she and the other dogs are happy and getting along. Honestly, they probably understand how to manage her quirks a lot better than I do, which is why I try to ask them what they've observed if I've seen a behavior in her I've never dealt with. I'm so grateful to this daycare, and I'm glad they like my pup, because we're sticking with them as long as they'll have us around.
I have been used Fetch! Pet Care Tucson since moving to AZ 18 months ago. They provide an exceptional service, are reliable and my cats love Maggie! Would highly recommend them for your pet sitting needs!
Barbara is the best thing that has ever happened to my pup. He is absolutely in love with her and the walks. All I have to say is “Miss Barbara is coming” and he runs to the window, waits and starts all this carrying on (as seen in the video) the second she pulls into the driveway. As a very overly protective dog mom due to 3 occasions with unleashed dog attacks during walks, I was very cautious about letting someone else take him. I have 10000% confidence in his safety and obviously his happiness is no question either. Plus, she takes the best pictures of him on the walks and gives the best little recaps. It helps me when I’m away and wishing I was there. I’m so glad I found Fetch and Barbara. Thank you for loving Watson. 💕
Maggie was an absolute best. She is loving, caring and you can tell she loves what she is doing. I would use her again and again.
I’ve used a number of sitters from Fetch over the last year. From drop ins to over night stays. Every single sitter has been professional, kind and caring for my fur baby family ! A special shout out to Barbara, who won over our new rescue dog and even our temperamental cat. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the team from Fetch!!! I never have to worry about my animals when they are here!
Shawna walked our 3 dogs while we were out of town for a week. The dogs loved her and it was nice having someone we trusted looking after the pups while we were gone. Definitely recommend Fetch!
Fetch has done an excellent job in taking care of our cats. We’ve had experienced cat lovers that spend the time with them, playing with them, and giving them a treat or two. Val and Cynthia are amazing with cats and great at getting to know the cats and earning their trust. They also have gone above and beyond by cleaning up any messes and doing small chores which has been very much appreciated. Can’t go wrong with daily updates with photos and videos of the cats as well! Thank you Fetch!
We have been using Fetch Pet Care for about three years now, and we absolutely adore all of our sitters. They are so great about taking the time to give our pets all of the love and cuddles they need when we go on vacation. They go above and beyond in helping out with emergencies and anything that comes up during the trip. This allows us to always have a relaxing vacation, where we aren’t worried about our pets, and in fact, know that they look forward to seeing their sitters each day. They are fantastic with medication administration, always arrive on time, always communicate with us, and leave us the sweetest journals about our pets adventures while we’re gone. While their prices are a little on the higher end, it is absolutely 100% worth it for peace of mind and to know that your pets are well loved and taken care of by the experts at Fetch. And they always have backup sitters in case of emergencies. Our cats have loved Val and Cynthia. Thank you ladies!
I’m not typically someone who leaves reviews but I have to now. I cannot rave enough about Fetch and Barbara our sitter. They have made leaving home worry free for us. From the minute I met Barbara I knew things would work out great and they certainly have. Jack our gray tabby cat loves her and waits on the counter for her to come in feed and love on him. Barbara gives daily updates and I have full trust she would call immediately if there was a concern. She cares for your home/fur kids like she would her own. I think Fetch is an amazing business and I can highly recommend it based on our experience.
Great service! We have 12 year old dogs that have health issues and we didn’t want to board them so we used Fetch. Tammy was super helpful with getting us going and our Petsitter Amy did a great job with all of our animals. They even take photos of your pets at every visit and pick up animal waste in the yard. Will definitely use again.
I can’t say enough good things about Fetch! Tucson!!! I travel on occasion and leave my dog Chloe with my Mom while I am away. The Fetch! walkers visit multiple times a day so that Chloe can get out and about - they do an outstanding job! Valerie, in particular, is a joy to work with - both on scheduling and also on services where she makes sure that Chloe (and Mom!) are doing okay. The journals and photos of each service are a nice touch and help me stay connected when I am gone. Many thanks to Valerie and the Fetch! team for all that you do!!!
This place is the best! Our dog gets extremely excited on her way to Dogtopia and they take great care of her. Transparent pricing, good communication from staff and great flexibility with scheduling are just a few of the things that make this place a 10/10.
We love Dogtopia Oro Valley!! The staff is so awesome, friendly, and good to my fur baby Tucker. He is high energy and loves to speak his mind constantly. 🤣 They are so patient with him and his quirks. I love the ease and convenience of being able to schedule in the app. I also love that I am able to reach out to staff same day when I forget to sign Tucker up for activities & treats. I love the social media updates on Instagram and all the activities/themes they do. I can’t recommend the Oro Valley Dogtopia enough!!
I really can not say enough good things about this Dogtopia. The staff are friendly and caring. They really watch my dog's behavior and adjust things to make it a better experience for him. Every time I bring him in he's happy to see the person who takes him back. When his stomach was upset while I was boarding him I got a call immediately and they asked if it was ok to just feed him some white rice until he got better. I was out of state and couldn't do anything for him. But knowing that they were taking such good care of him eased my mind. He's truly a happier and calmer day because of them.
The service we receive is truly exceptional. We have a 1yo border collie mix (rescue) who is - well, a velociraptor in dog form. A sweet and cuddly, but very anxious and energetic velociraptor. We truthfully got in over our heads with Blue Bear, but didn’t want to give up on him because he is part of our family. Our trainer suggested doggie day care and so we decided to give Dogtopia a try. I can’t really say enough - the facility is always clean, the team is professional, friendly, and so very genuinely caring. Pricing is up front and very easy to understand, their app is super convenient and then they have a text service which is consistently reliable and informative. While Blue Bear is always enthusiastic to come home at the end of the day - we can tell he is genuinely loved and cared for, and gets excited to see his carers. He gets fun themed photo shoots every month, and even got to be featured in his Halloween costume in a video. Getting to see him at ease and so happy makes my heart happy. Just one example of their continual attention to detail - we recently achieved Gold level because of our frequency, and he came home tonight with a special customized gold colored tag added to his collar with his status. We are so very thankful for Dogtopia, because they have aided so much in his success story.
I daycare my puppy at Dogtopia this absolutely clean and all employees are exceptional and treat my puppy as if they were family giving all dogs lots of love. Not to mention the treats and awesome activities Dogtopia has monthly. I rate Dogtopia 10-10. I highly recommend to anyone interested in daycare or on boarding to choose Dogtopia. Your dog will absolutely love the experience they will have at Dogtopia. ❤️🐶🐾🐾
We love the positive attitude towards both dogs and owners shown by Dogtopia staff, and the ease of communication via text, email, and their website. When is too hot to spend much time outside, Dogtopia is a great place for dogs to get some exercise and play time.
Love Dogtopia! My dog loves the days he goes there. I can hardly keep him in the car long enough to stop! Its always well maintained, the dogs are well cared for, the staff is fantastic. The boarding is also great. Highly recommend.
Our experience at Dogtopia OV has been excellent. The staff are so friendly, professional, and reassuring that our young boxer Riley is happy in their care.
The workers are fantastic with the dogs! you can truly see how caring they are. Our dog Peaches can hardly wait to go every week. Oh and everything is very clean.
Dogtopia of Oro Valley has great dog lovers. We took our Lab there (top dog status) for 9 months. We finally had to discontinue because he came home sick and with skin rashes each time. I can’t recommend this place if you care for your dog. Our Vet bills exceeded $5000 during the time we took him there. Caution.
Dropped my five month old German shepherd puppy off Friday afternoon got a call that he was having issues with my Puppy being unruly Saturday morning I went back to find my five month old puppy cowering in the corner. He was afraid that the owner might be coming through the gate. My dog was literally trembling and peeing as I came through the gate. You can draw your own conclusions from the situation but I can tell you that my German Shepherd was scared to death that man might be walking through the gate.
I looked into many daycares for our 1 yo mixed puppy (white w/ brindle and black saddle, pictured above Coby himself in the first photo). He did 5 weeks at Elevate before his first birthday but the puppy school was pricey, they were far from my home, the drop off times did not fit my schedule, and he never really loved to go. I looked into other daycares close by and many had my puppy in a kennel most of the day. I got lucky finding Cobys Dog house! My pup has been attending regularly for almost two months, 3-5x a week. He started getting excited when he’d realized we were close about two weeks in. About a month in he was so excited to be there, he jumped right out the car window!! (Thankfully I was already parked). He loves spending time with Coby and his friends and comes home a happy and less crazy pup. I appreciate this doggie daycare so much and am relieved to have somewhere my pup feels part of the family!
Loren is truly a great pet care giver. He is familiar with the different breeds and does a great job of grouping dogs together based on their breed and size. He does everything he can to accommodate your pet needs and fit you into his schedule. The fact that he provides you with update pictures while you board your pet with him gives you that added peace of mind you need to enjoy your time away from your little pet. I am glad to have found Coby's Dog House.
I can not say enough good things about Coby and his facility. He really cares about the owners and their dogs! He took care of 2 of my dogs and I truly appreciate you watching them. Thank you Coby!
Loren has been kind, accommodating, and very communicative when we have used his daycare service and boarding for our 2 dogs. Our dogs are always happy to return. We can tell Loren really cares about his customers!
I was so impressed with the care my three large dogs received at Coby's dog house. The owner Loren is so easy to communicate with and you can tell he really cares for every single dog in this establishment and forms a relationship with each of them! My dogs came back happy and EXTREMELY well fed! So much so, they got picky about the food we had at home because they loved the food provided there so much. I have nothing but positive feedback about this place and am happy to have found a reliable dog boarding facility for all of my future trips. The price is exceptional compared to most dog boarding facilities in Tucson, good food and toys are provided, and they are given enough room to be comfortable (not crammed into tiny cages). Cannot recommend this place enough!
We Used Coby's for the first time in September this year. We were pleased with the care our dog got and our dog seemed very attentive to Loren when we were there to pick him up. We will use again. The boarding rate if very fair, out dog seemed content, and we feel our dog was well cared for. We plan on using again in December of this year. We used Coby's again in Janurary 2024 Once again we were verry pleased with the care our dog was given. The dog comes home healty and in good spirits. We feel fortunate to have found such a safe boarding facility.
Coby's Dog House is a resort for my Husky. Lot's of land to run about in. The staff diligently provides care and feeding. I travel for my job and it is reassuring to know my Husky has a home away from home while I work.
Wonderful experience!! Loren was able to take our dog in same day which gave us a relaxing weekend getaway. Coby’s Dog House will be our go-to in the future!! Loren is very nice and great with the dogs
Do not bring your dogs here!! The man that owned the company wouldn’t give us our dogs back until we paid him a late fee of almost $300 after we already paid him almost $400 .he told us this 2 hours before pickup time and didn’t mention any late fee beforehand. he decided to tell us that our pickup time was not correct even though it specifically said 8pm on the receipt. and that we had to pick our dogs up at 11 am when we were on our way back from san diego and had no way of picking them up until 8pm(which was pickup time)we arrived at 8 and he started screaming at me and my boyfriend over the phone saying he was going to sue us for abandonment, and that we were lucky that they were still there. when we were literally outside calling him asking for our dogs back.i have seen other posts that he doesn’t feed them and my dogs were starving when they got home. also our dogs came back smelling like cigarettes. so yeah if you don’t want to have to call the cops because you can’t get your dog back then don’t take them here. we had a husky and a puppy golden visit while we were away. we had to call the cops to get our dogs back because he wouldn’t give them back. screaming at your customers calling them names is not good service. don’t take your dogs here. let’s keep them safe
We've been using Hearts of Gold Pet Services for almost a year now and Ken is absolutely amazing. He's not only great at his job but he's a very nice and honest person. Ken is very detailed and does a wonderful job taking care of our cat and our house. We highly recommend Ken if you want a quality pet sitter for your dog or cat. Thanks for taking care of our cat and everything else that you do. We're so happy that we found you.
Ken is amazing! He treated our 17yo Yorkie like he was his son! LOL. Ken is kind and compassionate. He is also a very fair and open businessman. We trusted Ken and he proved that he was worthy of that trust! He never missed a day for the almost full year we used his services. Thank you for the help and peace of mind you provided!
Three years ago my 90 year old mom was in need of pet services for her dog because she no longer could take care of her dogs needs. Hearts of Gold was recommended to us and it was a true blessing; well worth the investment. Ken the owner is extraordinary, 100% reliable and professional. He was extremely easy to communicate with and if he had questions or concerns about my moms dog he immediately contacted me. In the three years we used Hearts of Gold he never missed a day of walking, feeding, administering medications and just overall caring for my moms dog. It is evident he truly cares about animals. My family and I highly recommend Hearts of Gold to anyone who is looking for reliable pet services.
Five stars and A+++! We have used Ken at Hearts of Gold as a pet sitter for about 6 years (I'm guessing). He does lunchtime visits for us, as well as our vacations. We have a saint bernard and a crazy frenchton. He knows just how to handle them. Ken is so very reliable, and we never worry when we are on vacation when he's taking care of our doggies. He also watches what's happening with the house... e.g. brings in mail and packages. We love using his service!
We found Hearts of Gold when we moved to Tucson 3 years ago and I'm so glad we did. Our old sitter recommended looking at Pet Sitter International, which is where we found them and I wanted someone who was trained in pet first aid, just in case. They are certified pet sitters, licensed, bonded and insured, which is really comforting when you're letting people into your home and trusting them not only with that, but to take care of your precious fur kids. They took wonderful care of our babies whenever we had to go out of town and were rarely unavailable, even at the last minute. Ken has been amazing and cares for our pets as his own, even with our shy girl. I would highly recommend them for any of your pet care needs.
Ken and Hearts of Gold Pet Services is wonderful! He has been our pet care provider for 4 years. So thankful to have him to take care of our 2 cats when we are away. Ours boys are so content with his care. Thank you Ken!
Ken, is a fantastic pet sitter. I meet he and his wife Lauren (whom has passed away) 5 years ago. They have sat for our cats over 10 times and we are so happy and pleased with thier service. Our cats and us rely on Ken and he does an excellent job. We Highly rec. Hearts Of Gold! Cheryl A.
I highly recommend this service. I fostered a foundling dog who turned out to be only one year plus. He was too much for me (at 77) to walk. Ken came every day for almost a year. He not only walked with Canelo he also worked hard to teach Canelo good manners. Ken has a definite affinity for the pets he works with. He was also kind enough to fill my bird feeders, bring in my mail and move my trash/recycle containers to/from the curb. I have had to "rehome" Canelo as now he is only 2 years old and he will outlive me. I will miss my sweet Canelo. I will also miss seeing Ken every morning. Therefor this is why I can highly recommend Hearts of Gold for your pet caring needs.
I first met Ken and Lauren at the Oro Valley Farmer's market, and I immediately knew these were people who love what they do. We had never used a pet sitter before because our dog is so fearful of strangers, but we decided to take a chance --- and boy are we happy we did. I can't say enough great things about Ken and Lauren. Ken really spent the time our dog needed to be comfortable, and somehow he made a bond with her when nobody else could. We were always comfortable leaving Dusty to be looked after by them, and they ALWAYS took great care of her. Beyond that, their prices were very fair, they were extremely responsive, and beyond flexible in how they schedule, being able to help out on last minute needs, and always staying in great touch with us while we were gone. I really can say they are a gem of a service when it's so hard to find trustworthy people to let into your home and to take care of your loved one (4 legged loved ones that is!).
Ken is so good with our Mellow, I'm happy we found him
Quiet caring home for day and multi day dog care.
I rarely write Google reviews unless the company goes above and beyond a standard, or provides such a unique service, that it's worthy of honorable mention to a consumer. Tamison and her team at Elevate Dog Training Center provided exceptional training during a several month boarding period of our German Shepherd, Milo. Prior to this training, we had severe anxiety and behavior issues with Milo, despite our best efforts of doing extensive research and trying multiple training methods over the first 8 months of his puppy phase. The situation became untenable at home, and our veterinarian highly recommended Elevate. We have recently received Milo back home after boarding, and I can say without a doubt, Elevate provided a foundation for working with our dog which would have been impossible to accomplish on our own. Their facility should be considered for the following: 1.) Staff/ Experience. Elevate has an experienced team of educated and certified trainers, who specialize with working breed dogs. Within the first few minutes of meeting our dog, Tamison and her team were able to accurately predict how Milo would behave, his main issues, and how long he would need for rehabilitation at the facility. During scheduled in-person visits with Milo during training, their methods were so precise, they were able to discuss ahead of time exactly how Milo would behave upon seeing us, and demonstrated accurate corrections to that behavior-- even letting us try those methods in real time. Most importantly, outside of being experienced trainers and leaders for our dog, it was evident that every single member of the staff was a dog-lover, seamlessly transitioning from their role as trainer, to giving plenty of love to our pup. We received weekly updates, to include progress reports and photos of Milo. 2.). Facilities/ schedule/ resources. Boarding prices were fair for the surrounding area, particularly comparing the size of the kennel Milo received (which included a doggy door to his own private dog run) and with how climate-controlled the facility was maintained. This was a big factor for us training Milo in the heat of the summer months. The staff was very organized with feeding and medication schedule delivery for Milo, never once having an issue. Moreover, the training facility and schedule allowed for multiple one-on-one sessions with our dog per day, to also include field trips, and interactions with other dogs (when appropriate), and free-play time. Milo received dedicated attention every single day he was boarded. 3.) Preparation/ responsiveness/ involvement with owner: Elevate enacted a training plan that simply worked-- it achieved the end result of providing a solid foundation from which to work with Milo. It worked not only because their facility has learned and implemented their methods with repetitions on numerous dogs over the years, but because they understood the work isn't over when your pup comes home. If the owner's aren't willing to do the work, the training is incomplete, and temporary at best. We were invited to several sessions with Milo prior to his release, and were also given a packet of information (homework) on how to continue the training once Milo came home. What most impressed us was the continuity of care. When we had an unsolvable issue arise during those first trying 48 hours, Tamison spoke to my wife on the phone for over 45 minutes while I was unavailable at work, helping ease her mind and provide valuable insight on Milo's behavior during the transition back home. Bottom line: Elevate came highly recommended by our veterinarian, and did not disappoint. Through a combination of boarding with highly experienced trainers, and the correct tools and methods (taught to us by Elevate) with which to co-exist with Milo back home, he is showing extreme promise, and often acts like "a gentleman", which seemed impossible several months prior. Thank you Elevate. Strongest and highest recommendation to anyone in a similar position.
Elevate Dog Center saved my dog! A year ago I was struggling with my two year old Aussie mix Blueberry. He was a perfect dog in the house but he had aggression issues towards strangers that prevented him from living a normal life. He had been turned down by vet office after vet office for aggression. Nobody could touch him. After seeing two other trainers and seeing very little progress, I had reached a breaking point. Elevate Dog Center changed our lives! They worked with us to make sure his needs were met. They helped us get him vaccinated and helped us find ways to better manage his anxiety. They helped him build relationships with NEW people, which he had never done before. Other trainers and veterinarians had told me to put him down. People are constantly complementing his behavior in public. He can meet new friends (humans and dogs). Blue lives the amazing life I always wanted him to have! If you’re at your wits end with your dog, I highly recommend giving Tamison and her team a call. They were professional from beginning to end. They produce long lasting results and always treated my boy like family (even when he was not so easy to get along with). Blue just turned three last month and I’m confident that we’ll get to spend many more years together thanks to the hard work of Elevate’s staff!
We adopted a lab that came to us with severe anxiety due to his experiences in his first year of life. Tamison and Elevate were recommended by our vet who is treating our dog’s anxiety. We started out with a few private lessons so that our dog could get comfortable at Elevate, knowing we were by his side. He loved “the cheese lady” and learning new things with her immediately. He’s finishing up his 4th week of day school and has made such incredible progress and we can really see his confidence building. Before Elevate, he was afraid of new people, new situations, etc. Now he’s made new friends (human and canine!), he can settle in the car, and he’s less stressed out when separated from us. Seeing how happy he is to go to school in the morning always starts my day off on a positive note. When we arrive, he might see other dogs or strange people, but he won’t get flustered or bark, and I know that’s because he feels safe at Elevate and that means so much to me. He goes up to the door and happily sits and waits politely to go inside and see his friends. We are so thankful to see him thriving instead of suffering due to fear and we appreciate Tamison and her team giving us the tools to improve his experiences.
I own show dogs of oriental origin, and like all orientals (Lhasas, Chows, Akitas,…) my fur babies can be a bit touchy. Further, I was a manager there for many when the Greens owned the property. At that time several policies were put in place to keep even the most difficult animals safe and happy. These policies have been abandoned and now seem to be replaced with pretty pictures over animal care! Cats run loose in the cattery! Dogs are socially isolated (think of isolation in a prison) where they can see nothing 90% of the day (including sunlight) AND while still holding contracts for the state’s dogs, they pretend to be exclusive in only allowing “friendly” animals! Extremely two faced at this point in time in both policy and practice.
Our Australian Shepherd puppy, Shooter, had a blast attending puppy day camp at Elevate. She made several puppy friends and loved all of the staff. Tamison, Tarah, Anisa and crew helped her become the best puppy possible. Now, at 7 months old, she’s confident, biddable and quite social: reflecting on the skills she learned at puppy camp.
Maddie did such an amazing job on my bernadoodle puppy. First haircut and Maddie took her time with my girl and the results are adorable!
I love how well they take care of my little man. I used to use different boarding facilities and he would never want to walk into the places again, but here he loves all staff and doesn't hesitate to go with staff. Not to mention he has indoor and outdoor access 24/7! This kid is living better than me! Staff has always been so helpful I'm so amazed by their customer service and will be forever using this facility for my little guy. It's like a second home for him.
Our puppy, Lenny, has had a wonderful experience at Elevate! He gets excited to be there and loves seeing all of the employees. Because of them, he is a wonderfully socialized and well-mannered companion.
Elevate Dog Center really came through for my wife and I over thanksgiving when we were in a pinch. After having already left Tucson on our trip, we were notified that our long time, very reliable pet sitter experienced a tragic emergency and was unable to come care for our two dogs. We were literally at the airport, between flights when we learned this and were panicked trying to think of what to do - with the dogs at home and us states away. I have been doing agility training at Elevate, so I gave them a call about boarding. Levi was amazing and was able to help us get the dogs boarded for the week, starting that same day. AND, we accomplished this all in less than 2 hours while on a lay over between flights. Our dogs were happy and well cared for and I cannot thank you all enough for helping us out through Thanksgiving!
Started our puppy at Elevate shortly after we got her and we were both trained. They had an awesome option for us to drop her off on Sundays and then pick her up Wednesdays (since our work schedule didn't allow us to get her there in the morning) . She is now a year and a half and we travel with her and she can safely be off leash and I know she will come when I call! Everyone at elevate loves dogs and you can tell they love their jobs. We also board her there and are confident in her safety.
We love Fetch! Our sitters Tammi and Keith are wonderful with Buddy. He looks forward to their visits twice a day when I have to work long hours. Couldn't do it without them!
OMG Sidney our sitter took such great care of Sadie it was such a relief while we went to our Christmas party. We are from Northern Arizona and travelled to Tucson just for the party. My little one is so attached to me she freaks out when I leave her so having "Fetch" to make it not only affordable but convenient as well. Thank you guys so much and I will use you again and again when I travel.
Fetch has been our first and only petsitting service since we moved to Tucson 2 years ago. Keith is great to work with and really gets personally involved, and Anna, the sitter - well, she has been fabulous. She loves our pets and they love her. We get daily text updates and love that we can leave and know that we don't have to worry for even a second. Unconditionally recommend!
My husband and I have been using Fetch! Pet Care since March and we have had a very pleasant experience. We both travel often, sometimes even internationally so we wanted to make sure that our pets would get the best care possible at home. Our cat sitter does a really good job. She stays with our cats for an hour each visit. They'll even do random cleaning or pick up the mail. Would definitely recommend.
Our sitter has been very thorough, on time, and communicative. We get photos and updates daily, and she is also very accommodating if we have last minute schedule changes. She administers meds to one of our cats and takes time to play and cuddle with them. The cats are always quite mellow when we return home.
Fetch has the most loving and caring sitters ever. My dog enjoys going to visit Keith and Carol as well as Luci. I am always comfortable and confident in the care that Brooke will receive with Fetch. When I travel, my mind is at ease knowing that my dog will get the best care possible , from proper feeding to walks and plenty of pats and love. Thank you so much Fetch Pet Care!
Fetch! Pet Care is nothing but amazing. I did the free consultation and met the owner, Keith and the sitter, Griselda. We have used them twice and will continue to use them! One of my cats has kidney issues and Keith picked Griselda for her work as a vet tech. This kept my mind at ease knowing a fully qualified person was visiting my two cats and taking care of them. Griselda is perfect for our cats. She would text us photos of each session, feed and water the cats, descriptions of how the cats were acting, scoop the litter, and water our plants. At the last minute, Griselda helped us when we had to leave for a family emergency! I could not be happier with Griselda! I have not worried about my cats since using Fetch! Pet Care. Thank you, Keith and Griselda!
My Fetch sitter always takes great care of my two cats! I've used their services a lot and have never had a problem. They've also always come through when I've had to add extra visits at the last minute due to travel delays!
This trip marked the first time we left our cats since moving here 15 months ago. Needless to say we were a bit apprehensive about leaving them. Kayla did a great job each day of communicating what was going the boys. Her daily communication and photos were instrumental in easing our concerns; which enabled us to enjoy our trip. Will most certainly have her back in the future. Highly recommend.
We were able to text our pet sitter and get reports of our pet's care while we were away. All requests for our pet's care and additional tasks such as bringing in the mail and watering a few plants were competed as requested. Our pet sitter even brought in the garbage cans after garbage collection even though we hadn't requested this. We returned to a happy kitty, clean litter box, and a clean floor which I had expected to be covered with fur!!!! I am grateful to have found this service. Fetch Pet Care will be my go-to service for Skitzie for all of our future pet care needs!!!!!!
When nobody could help with our 5 big dogs and all the resources numbers called said they were full, these guys said "Yes bring them in" the owner I think name was Tim was amazing! I give them 20 stars out of 10. If you need doggy day care or overnight pet sitter go here!!!
If I could give Como 50 stars, I would! My Great Dane, Bolt, was bit on the face a year ago by another dog while at the park resulting in anxiety and reactivity when out and about. I was searching for somewhere he could re-socialize, which is how we found Como Pet Lodge. Not only is he slowly overcoming his reactivity, but he is rediscovering just how much he LOVES having doggie besties. The staff at Como are all very friendly, know every dog by name, and really take the needs of each dog into consideration. For example, my guy needs a bit of extra “nap time” a day for the sake of his joints and they have happily provided him with that necessary down time without fail. You can really tell they love and care for all the doggos. Bringing him to Como has truly been life changing, so don’t hesitate and contact them, you won’t regret it!!
My dog Buddy hops out of the car and runs up to the gate like I just took him to Disneyland. Always happy and tired upon pick up. Nice staff.
Tim and heather are amazing. My baby has so much fun there and they take great care of him. I love that it’s an outdoor daycare and my beagle gets to do beagle things all day long.
We had an emergency health situation and had to travel without our dog. Como Pet Lodge came to the rescue and provided a safe, attentive and fun place for our best pal while we were gone. The staff - Heather, Thomas and Tim (Owner) were there for us and gave us support beyond expectations. 5 stars is easy.
I’m so grateful to have found this place. My dog has anxiety and they know how to work with her. I highly recommend Como Pet lodge for any dog!
I'll add more photos next time we come, but our youngest had such an amazing first day at the pet lodge, she is so tuckered out and so happy. This facility is absolutely amazing, it's a perfect place for your dog to be able to be a dog, safe environment with tons of room to play and run, the owner is amazing and really understands dogs. We will be regulars here for sure. I 100% recommend. 🖤
I have a very active dog and they are wonderful with her! I love Como Pet Lodge. They let her run and play all day; she sleeps with the pack , which she prefers to a kennel. Everyone there has been super friendly to both me and my dog Ginny.
I have a hard time trusting anyone for any reason, but especially when it involves my puppy, Sunny🌞. From the first time I dropped her off and every time since, I find I have found the perfect "sitter"! She loves going to daycare, and she loves the caretakers. And so do I! I recommend this doggie daycare to anyone who wants their pets well taken care of. I have no hesitation, and I have no worries while she's there.
I asked the cats, and they said they loved it. They found their accommodation comfortable. They said the continental breakfast was same Ole same Ole.
