About Hounds Town - Tucson - Marana
Hounds Town - Tucson - Marana is a dog daycare and boarding center serving Tucson, Marana, Rillito, and surrounding areas. The facility is designed around interactive care, with all-day play, overnight boarding, pet spa services, and a separate boarding option for cats. Its approach centers on creating a place where dogs can socialize, exercise, rest, and receive care in settings organized around their size, temperament, and play style.
Dog daycare at Hounds Town gives dogs the opportunity to run and play with a compatible group throughout the day. The website describes expansive play areas and natural pack environments intended to provide physical and mental stimulation, as well as safe socialization. Hounds Town emphasizes specialized playgroups, matching dogs with others of similar size, temperament, and play style. This play structure is part of the center's stated focus on dog management and on making the facility suitable for every dog, regardless of breed, age, or ability.
For overnight stays, dogs can settle into private townhouses or suites after a day of activity. Boarding options include townhomes, luxury suites, and double suites, with the option for an additional dog to stay in the same suite. The facility also offers a dog spa, where services include hypoallergenic spa baths, blowouts, nail trimming, teeth brushing, blueberry facial scrubs, and furminating. The website describes these services as gentle, stress-free pet pampering provided by experienced staff. Cats are accommodated separately in Purrington Villas, a controlled environment away from the dogs at play. The cat boarding area is intended to provide a cozy, relaxing stay for both short-term and longer-term visits.
The Hounds Town story began with founder Michael Gould, who started his canine career as a founding member of the NYPD canine unit. He later became commanding officer of the Nassau County Canine Unit and spent more than 15 years in police canine management. While preparing to retire from the police department, Gould recognized a need for reliable and honest pet care on Long Island. He opened the first Hounds Town in Port Jefferson in a 1,200-square-foot store, introducing interactive daycare to the area. The business later expanded to a larger Port Jefferson location, opened additional company locations, and sold its first franchise. Hounds Town subsequently expanded beyond New York and New Jersey, bringing its dog daycare and boarding model to locations including Tucson and Marana.
New dogs begin with an evaluation, which can be booked through the Hounds Town online system. The first day of daycare is offered free after the evaluation is scheduled and completed according to the center's process. Before beginning, dogs must meet the listed requirements: dogs six months or older must be spayed, dogs 12 months or older must be neutered, and all dogs must be current on rabies, distemper, and Bordetella vaccinations. Dogs should also be comfortable around other dogs. Once the booking is made, the location sends a new client form and appointment confirmation. Visitors can expect a facility focused on supervised group play, overnight care, grooming services, and separate accommodations for cats.
