Goin to Grandma’s

They were very helpful with me and my dog Henry.

I left a review here about an experience I had awhile back at this particular business that was not very flattering of the business but all truth, even though I did mention the cat facility was very nice. I am now being threatened with a lawsuit, if the review was not removed. So I removed the review and am posting a new one.
I will censor the freedom of speech that I have under the First Amendment, and this review in of itself should reflect the business and ethics they stand behind.

So, this place is a little on the expensive side. Seems nice enough and I’ve used their services a few times. But I do not think their rates are fair and they are always quick to ask for payment.
Also, my dog is always in a rush to leave when I go pick him up. It’s as if he really is not happy being there. He’s very quick to make his way to the door and not respond to anything because he’s so focused on wanting to get out! Makes me wonder what he doesn’t like about being there. I know it sounds weird but I think it’s an indicator of his treatment.

I took my dogs, Cruiser and Tula, to Goin to Grandma’s for doggie daycare and boarding for over two years while I was stationed in the area. Mary and Glenn (the owners) and all of the staff are simply awesome! Cruiser, my chow chow, who can be a bit suspicious and standoffish at times, would leap out of the car as soon as we arrived — so excited to be there! The first time he boarded, he was scared and shy and Mary and the staff worked with him to boost his confidence so he felt safe and secure during his stay. His many visits over the time we were in Sierra Vista really helped make him a more confident and secure dog. The staff is wonderful, caring and conscientious, and they will go above and beyond for the animals in their care. The facility is clean, spacious and well-​maintained. Because of the military, I’ve now relocated from the area. I (and my dogs of course!) are sad to leave and will miss Goin to Grandma’s so much!

Hands down a great place to take one’s dog. All of my friends referred me here and I’m pretty sure my dog had a blast. The staff is wonderful and capable. I highly recommend Goin to Grandma’s

The best of the best! Took my dog and cat here while I was on vacation. When I pulled up the first thing I noticed about the facility was all the HAPPY dogs running around, playing and have a good time. When I walked into the office to drop my animals off I noticed they also care for birds and bunnies. When I spoke to the people who work there I felt at ease because it was evident that they are not only knowledgeable about animals but they also really love animals and what they do. They make sure all the animals are up to date on their vaccinations including kennel cough vaccination before they are boarded and they also don’t allow bedding from outside of the facility so I felt confident my animals wouldn’t get sick. When I came back to pick my animals up my dog was happy as a clam and I could tell he liked the lady that worked there. I also got a «report card» that included photos of my dog playing during the «bow wows» and noted his behavior while he was at the facility and the names of the dogs he was «best friends» with. Nothing but great things to say about this place!

There’s no reason to leave your dog anywhere else. The staff obviously loves all of the animals and takes a lot of pride in what they do. I have left my dog here twice with a clear conscious, knowing he’s going to have a nice big space to run around in, as opposed to being locked in a kennel. The staff will talk to the dogs and for a small fee give them a one-​on-​one play session.
Before I left my dog here the first time, I came by and asked if I could just «look around the office.» They told me a price quote and gave me a tour of the facility. I asked if I could bring my dog along, and the dog got plenty of pets and a treat!
My dog has always had to run up to the staff and say «Bye-​bye!» when we’ve picked him up! He loves going here and we’re so sad to have moved away from them.

This place is the cream of the crop for your pets boarding. Have never used their doggy day care or canine classes yet, but friends tell me their doggie day care is awesome. The owner, Mary, takes great pride in her business. She knows our dogs by name and we unfortunately don’t take vacations very often. When we do, this is the only place we will consider taking our girls to. The entire staff is very friendly and cares about your animals.
We tried a place that was about 20 miles closer to our house but could tell the same level of love and commitment was not there. Not to mention our dogs were full of ticks both times we picked them up.
Goin to Grandma’s is way worth the extra drive. I also love their do it yourself dog wash. It is so convenient to bathe them myself after they have spent time playing at Grandma’s. I also like that they will feed our girls premium dog food at our schedule. You dont have to pack up food. You just make the appointment and drop them off.
But most importantly, we are able to enjoy our trip knowing our dogs are in good hands.
