Inside the Facility
Clean, Climate-Controlled, and Built for Comfort
Glass and stainless-steel enclosures, raised Kuranda cots, hospital-grade sanitation, and trainers on the floor — boarding at Partners feels like a calm extension of the same campus your dog already trusts.
Why Partners Boarding Is Different
We're dog trainers first — which means your dog's boarding experience at our Scottsdale and Cave Creek facilities is informed by decades of expertise in canine behavior, safety, and enrichment. Families across North Scottsdale, the East Valley, and greater Phoenix trust us with their dogs.
Health & Safety
Vaccinations verified for every dog. Pet CPR training for all staff. Strictest cleaning protocols of any facility in the valley.
Cleanliness Standards
Enclosures pressure-washed daily with premium-grade sanitizer rated for pandemic-level bacteria and viruses. Equipment cleaned daily.
All Breeds Welcome
We factor in personality, breed, age, and temperament to create a personalized care plan for every boarding guest. All shapes and sizes.
Monitoring & Oversight
State-of-the-art security system tracking noise, humidity, and temperature. Low staff-to-dog ratios. Daily feeding and medication logs.
How Boarding Works
Prep & Check-In
Before check-in, we verify Bordetella, Rabies, and Distemper/Parvo vaccinations. You'll complete your dog's profile on our Pet Parent Portal with feeding schedules, medication instructions, and emergency contacts. On arrival, we confirm your checkout date, any add-on services, and take your dog back to begin their stay.
During Their Stay
Your dog receives multiple daily rotations for exercise and potty breaks, personalized feeding and medication administration, and plenty of attention from our experienced team. We send periodic report cards with photos and updates. If you've added DaySchool, treadmill, or training sessions, you'll get progress updates on those too. If we notice anything out of the ordinary, we call you immediately.
Check-Out
On pickup day, your dog gets a complimentary exit bath and brush so they're fresh and clean when you arrive. We'll share updates from their stay, process your final payment, and return any food or medication you brought. That's it — head home with a happy, well-cared-for dog.
Enhance Your Dog's Stay
Make the most of your dog's boarding visit with these optional add-on services.
Add DaySchool
Turn boarding into a training opportunity. Your dog joins our DaySchool program during the day — structured training, supervised socialization, enrichment activities, and large indoor/outdoor play spaces. Subject to trainer approval for dog and people-friendly dogs.
Add Treadmill Sessions
15–25 minute supervised treadmill sessions that decrease anxiety, build confidence, drain excess energy, and improve overall health and strength. Ideal for high-energy breeds or dogs who benefit from extra exercise.
Add Private Training
Book individual training sessions during your dog's boarding stay. Work on specific skills or behaviors so your dog comes home not just rested, but better trained.
Add Grooming
Full grooming services available during your dog's stay. Come back to a clean, freshly groomed dog on pickup day. Ask about grooming packages when you book.

What Boarding Families Say
“We left for a 10-day trip to Europe and I barely worried once. Partners sent photos every other day, our Goldendoodle came home clean and happy, and they even worked on his leash manners while we were gone. Worth every penny for the peace of mind.”
– Karen & Tom D.
“Our German Shepherd has separation anxiety and we were terrified to board her anywhere. The team at Scottsdale took the time to do a meet-and-greet first, gave her extra 1-on-1 time, and kept us updated with videos. She actually seemed excited to go back for our next trip.”
– Vanessa R.
“We've boarded at three other facilities in the Valley and Partners is in a different league. The facility is spotless, the staff knows our dogs by name, and we always add the DaySchool training sessions so our pups come home better behaved than when we dropped them off.”
– Chris & Angela M.
