If you are looking for someone who will treat your dogs like family, I highly recommend Sara! We are so grateful to have found her to care for our dog Nova when we are out of town. We never have to worry about her and always know she is having a great time on a doggie vacation of her own! Sara understands dog behavior and ensures each dog receives the individualized care they need. She is extremely reliable and flexible, and always available when we need her. Thank you Sara and Connected Canine!

Our dogs love coming to Sara! They get all the exercise they need and they are always happy to go there. Sara takes great care and gives them all the medicine they need. I trust her with our wolf pack! She will definitely have our business for the rest of the future!

Our dog, Scarlet, absolutely loves staying with Sara! Sara is the first and only person with whom we have ever boarded Scarlet. She has stayed here probably 10 or more times so far. We were so nervous for her first trip, since she had never stayed away from us (at almost 3 years old), but our concerns were instantly eased when we saw how well the dogs are treated here - they are invited into Sara's home as if they are her own pets. She does such a great job catering to the individual needs of every dog. Scarlet is not always the most dog-friendly, and Sara still makes sure that she gets individual play time by herself if she cannot handle being around the others. We thought Scarlet would be nervous and scared to be away from us overnight, but every time we pull up to Sara's house, she instantly is so excited and cannot wait to start playing in her beautiful yard! We trust Sara completely with Scarlet, and are never concerned about her while we are away, even on trips outside of the country.
Communication is great as well. Sara stays in contact with us throughout the stay, providing photos and updates on how Scarlet is doing. She has been available every time we have needed, sometimes over holidays or with short notice, so we really appreciate that as well. Pick-up and drop-off times are always flexible too. We would highly recommend Connected Canine for pet boarding!

My husband and I moved to Phoenix from out of state a couple years ago with our two dogs. The search for a new pet care provider was extremely daunting, especially because we have two very different dogs with different needs. After trial and error with other kennels/pet hotels/providers, we finally found Sara! We knew it was a match for our pups right off the bat. In addition to providing the highest quality of care, they are super flexible with us and our schedules, and have been a life saver on short notice when we want the girls to stay with someone we can trust. We never worry when we’re out of town and know that our pups are having a blast.
Could not recommend more! Truly amazing and caring people. Thank you!!!
