3 Locations for dog boarding and dog day care
All Visits by Appointment Only
All locations are single family homes on spacious, well maintained, beautiful properties owned and operated by Camp Jimmydog. Each is occupied by experienced, knowledgeable adults that live there and care for your pups full time. Burcu & her pup Dice in Vail and Navaeh, her husband Parker and their two dogs in our East Tucson home and Kristen and her 4-legged bestie Jerry in Central Tucson
Our guests are welcomed into the homes and treated as if they were our own, sharing our space with us, both indoors and out. Guests have their choice of plentiful dog beds and quiet spaces to relax alone, with friends, or just hang out with us.
- No overcrowding means reduced stress and anxiety and increased individual attention for all!
- Large yards shared by us and our guests. There is no separate “dog yard” or “runs”. Our space is their space 🙂
- Double gated entries for safety.
- Fun play equipment, shade and space to rest and relax outdoors if they choose.
- Multiple x-large dog doors mean no one is ever locked in or out.
- Ramps at dog doors and stairs to sofa for small or arthritic legs.
- 6′ fencing and walls (not that anyone wants to leave)
- Double gated entry
VAIL
Conveniently located 5 minutes south of I 10 at exit 279 (Wentworth & Colossal Cave Rd exit) just off of Wentworth Rd.
Or 5 minutes north of the Sahuarita Rd./Wentworth Rd. intersection.
E. TUCSON
A convenient location with a dog focused, spacious yard and great indoor space for dogs of all sizes and activity levels!
Our East Tucson location is off of Kolb Rd. between Speedway Blvd. and Broadway
Central Tucson – Near Grant & 1st
Our newest location (Kristen’s new home).This location accepts the smallest number of guests at one time.
A perfect fit for smaller dogs and older or more mellow dogs.
Grant/I10 6 min, U of A 6 min, Sahuarita Rd/I10 25min (all depending on traffic of course)
All visits are by appointment only. Once scheduled you will recieve an email confirmation that will include the address as well as directions.
These are our homes. For the safety of our guests and out of respect and courtesy for our neighbors as well as ourselves, we ask that you DO NOT drive onto the property unless you have an appointment.
How many dogs do we board at one time?
Our general rule of thumb is a 8-10 dog maximum at the Vail and E. Tucson locations. Typically we average 3 to 7 overnight guests at one time. Our daycare is usually limited to 4 or less dogs depending on our number of boarders.
The Central Tucson location limits the numbers further, accepting a max of 3 to 6 dogs at one time. This is Kristen’s new home and it’s a smaller property where after almost 20 years at the large Sahuarita property, she is looking forward to enjoying and focusing on a few less guests at one time. 🙂
Please note, dogs scheduled at the Central Tucson location must be comfortable in a crate up to 2hrs. as this home does not have a separate dog dedicated room or 2nd yard. If Kristen needs to run to the store or an appointment the dogs need to be comfortable being safely crated for a short time.
We take many things into consideration when scheduling and deciding our limits. Here are a few:
-
- Has the dog stayed with us before or is this a first visit?
- How many in the group are regulars and know each other? (usually quite a few)
- The overall energy and feel of the dogs already scheduled. Sometimes six dogs feels like two. Sometimes two dogs feels like six!
