Pet day care centers have been popping up all over the Valley recently, some with caged & even uncaged overnight boarding. Some who now describe themselves as pet sitting day care resorts are primarily groomers that serve pampered dogs, then put them in a cage. How do you know which pet day care center, resort or boarding facility will do right by you and your dog? Our overnight boarding includes groomers who truly care.
Finding the right pet sitting day care and/or overnight boarding resort, whether it is caged or cage-free, is a dilemma that many dog families in Scottsdale, Phoenix, Carefree, Cave Creek, Fountain Hills & Paradise Valley are facing. These families struggle to determine if they should go with the large, corporate pet day care centers whose name they recognize from retail sales - an out-of-the-box, ready-made franchised pet day care center, or a pet sitting day care or overnight boarding service run out of someone’s house.
We suggest touring the resort, pet day care center, or overnight boarding facility you are considering. Watch the staff members’ interactions with their dog & human clients. Questions to ask might be:
How long have they been specifically in the pet day care business? Do they specialize in pet day care? Do you think your dog would feel pampered there? What do their overnight accommodations look & feel like? How much time do the dogs spend in cages, if any? Is the environment conducive to safe dog play (i.e. temperature, flooring, supervision)? Do dogs need to partake in a screening process for health, vaccinations & temperament before attending the pet day care center?
Your gut & your dogs will let you know which pet day care center, overnight boarding resort & groomers are best for your pampered pet. Does a corporate pet sitting day care & quasi-resort, groomers who provide pet sitting day care on the side, or someone doing pet day care or caged overnight boarding out of their house feel like the best fit for your pampered dog?
We welcome you to visit Doggie Domain where you & your dogs can feel just how much we LOVE dogs & care about giving you complete peace of mind about your dogs’ day care & boarding visits.
