Kennel Nirvana

I LOVE Kennel Nirvana. Of more importance, my puppy Cooper loves it and that was clear the second time I took him there. The minute we arrived, he acted exactly the way he did at his beloved dog park— making high-pitched excited sounds and scrambling to climb over me to get out of the car.) I’ve taken him several tines a week since & he has been thrilled every time. Jennifer, who monitors their playtime—an hr & a half twice/day—has worked there 20 yrs, starting when she was in high school; and I’m pretty sure Cooper is in love with her. We missed a week recently & when Cooper saw Jennifer again, he jumped up to hug her like she was a long-lost friend. Also, twice when we were switching from my collar/leash to hers, he escaped from us & ran as fast as he could through the building to the do

Great kennel experience for your dog! Owners Glenn & Natalie have been in the boarding kennel business for over 50 years. Your pet will be well taken care of and loved.

We are SO glad that we found Kennel Nirvana! My 8 month old puppy is quite the social butterfly, and the thought of her being locked in a kennel for the majority of the week we'd be gone broke my heart. At Kennel Nirvana, she was able to receive the attention from both people and animals that she needs, and just knowing that made having to leave her that much easier. The owners are very knowledgeable about animals and made us feel comfortable with knowing how our puppy would be cared for. We felt that the price was fair for all the play time she'd be getting. She came back happy, and we highly recommend this kennel!

Kennel Nirvana is a bit of an acquired taste. True the grounds look like a dump, and the office is festooned with Tea Party stuff, and the pricing is unknowable, but the owners are truly caring people who know a lot about dogs, do their best, and take personal responsibility for their charges. You are not going to find a Beverly Hills kennel in Pima County. Focus on the quality of service, rather than the other stuff.

DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! Kennel is ran by two extremely RUDE old people. Pets are kept in very poor and unclean conditions. Pets are kept and locked in pound cages. The place is filthy and smells horrible. The "cat room" smells and is dirty. I asked if my friendly hairless cat would have anytime outside of the kennel and or being held and was told quote "maybe only if I can catch him" I probably won't be able to so probably no, he won't be let out" this women was 80 years old!!!! I said that no I was not going to let my kitten stay there. And then the owner replied "Thanks for wasting MY TIME!" I was floored. I cried and held my cat tighter as I drove back home. Disgraceful. Time to retire this poor excuse for a kennel.
