More Than a Kennel: Full-Service Pet Care Since 1992

At-Home Kennels Pet Resort has been a go-to destination for Tucson pet owners for over 30 years. Founded in 1992, this locally owned facility in Southeast Tucson offers professional boarding, daycare, and grooming services for a wide range of animals—including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, ferrets, hamsters, and even exotic pets.

Located in a quiet area with plenty of space, At-Home Kennels is known for its attention to cleanliness, experienced staff, and dedication to the comfort of every guest. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need reliable daycare, this pet resort is designed to give your animals a safe and nurturing environment while you’re away.

Comprehensive Pet Boarding Services

Unlike some boarding facilities that only accept dogs, At-Home Kennels accommodates a wide variety of species. Each animal is housed in a secure, temperature-controlled space with daily monitoring, feeding, and attention from trained caregivers. Their team understands the different needs of each species and works to minimize stress during the stay.

Key boarding features include:

Separate Housing for Dogs and Cats: Cats enjoy quiet boarding areas away from barking dogs, helping reduce anxiety and overstimulation.
Exotic Pet Accommodations: From birds to hamsters and reptiles, staff members are trained to handle specialty pets with care.
Personalized Attention: Staff administers medications, follows feeding routines, and accommodates special requests whenever possible.

Daycare for Social and Active Pets

For pets who benefit from daytime interaction and supervision, At-Home Kennels also offers structured daycare. Dogs get to play in supervised groups with built-in rest times and plenty of opportunities for safe exercise. This is especially helpful for working pet parents or animals prone to separation anxiety.

Daycare groups are divided by size and temperament, ensuring a positive experience for both outgoing and more reserved dogs. Many pet owners use daycare as a way to socialize their dogs gradually and build better behavior through structured playtime.

Professional Grooming on Site

In addition to boarding and daycare, At-Home Kennels has an on-site grooming salon offering full grooming services for all coat types and breeds. From simple baths and nail trims to full haircuts and deshedding treatments, their experienced groomers ensure pets leave looking and feeling their best.

Grooming can be scheduled independently or as part of a boarding or daycare stay. This added convenience is especially helpful for pet parents who want their animals to return home clean, trimmed, and refreshed.

Planning a Stay

All pets must be current on vaccinations to board or attend daycare. It’s best to call ahead to discuss your pet’s needs and reserve a space, especially during holidays and peak travel times. Owners are welcome to bring familiar bedding or toys to help their pets feel more at home during their stay.

For elderly pets or those with chronic medical conditions, a stay away from home can be stressful. If your dog is managing a long-term illness, this guide to evaluating end-stage Cushing’s disease may be helpful when considering your pet’s comfort and limits.

"I can’t begin to say enough nice things about Dr. Miller, her demeanor and her professionalism. My beloved cat Van was in the final stages of debilitating malignant thyroid tumors that left him unable to eat and drink in his final days. Dr. Miller’s service of coming to the house to help Van peacefully pass was a relief. Dr. Miller’s comforting actions with Van and her reassurances to me helped make what was already a horrific experience as bearable as possible under the circumstances."
