About Sabino Canyon Pet Resort
Sabino Canyon Pet Resort is a Tucson business providing pet boarding, day boarding, grooming, and related care for dogs and cats. The resort is designed for pets staying while their families are away, with services intended to make boarding more active and comfortable. Its offerings include long term pet boarding, a separate cattery for cats, indoor and outdoor dog runs, deluxe pet suites, and add on activities such as playtime, swimming, and snack packages.
The business also provides full service dog and cat grooming seven days a week. Grooming is presented as part of the resort's broader care program, giving families the option to arrange grooming alongside a boarding stay or as a separate service. Sabino Canyon Pet Resort also maintains a selection of pet toys and supplies, adding another practical resource for clients looking for items connected to their pets' care.
For dogs, the facility includes large indoor and outdoor runs, while cats have access to a separate cattery. The resort describes its boarding environment as pristine and climate controlled. Day boarding gives pets another care option beyond overnight stays, and the available activities can be added according to each pet's visit. Playtime, swimming, and snack packages offer ways to expand a stay beyond basic boarding, while the resort's grooming service covers routine appearance and care needs for both dogs and cats.
Anne Donnellan has been the owner of Sabino Canyon Pet Resort since 1993. She graduated from Salpointe Catholic High School and the University of Arizona, connecting the business's history to Tucson and its local educational institutions. Donnellan's lifelong experience with animals helped lead her to opening a kennel, a decision she describes as an easy one because she had always been surrounded by animals of many kinds. She is also the mother of six children, five of whom were adopted, and shares her home with several animals, including a Doberman named "Zuko," a Standard Poodle named "Starla," and a Pug named "Lux."
The resort says its team is committed to a high level of pet care and works to help pets enjoy each stay. Services are offered seven days a week, although drop off and pick up are not available on major holidays. Animals who are boarding during those holidays continue to receive care from the staff. Families considering the facility can schedule a tour on Sunday mornings, subject to client volume and possible holiday weekend restrictions. For safety, the resort asks that visitors do not bring pets or children under 18 on tours. Reservations and service arrangements can be made through Sabino Canyon Pet Resort's Tucson location.
