Visiting the Verde Valley and Sedona with your dog? The best parts of a trip up here, the scenic train, the jeep tours, the balloon rides, the wildlife park, a round of golf or a spa afternoon, do not take dogs. Day board with us instead. Your dog gets a play day while you explore the red rocks, and you pick up a happy, freshly groomed pup on the way back to your hotel. We sit just down Cherry Street from Old Town Cottonwood, about ten minutes from Clarkdale and twenty from Sedona.
It is simple: drop off in the morning, and your dog plays and socializes while you do the thing dogs cannot. A scenic tour or a tasting afternoon is an easy half day; the train, a safari, a golf round or a spa day fills a full day. Choose daycare at $19 for a half day or $29 for a full day, add a groom so they come home fresh, and for overnight trips we do boarding by weight. Open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., grooming seven days a week.
These are the popular trips that do not allow dogs, which is exactly the opening for a daycare day. Drive times are from the shop.
A roughly four-hour scenic train ride along the canyon. No pets are allowed on any excursion, and the railroad itself tells riders to arrange pet care. The single best half-to-full-day daycare fit in the valley.
See Verde Canyon RailroadA four-to-six-hour safari-park day with shows. No pets allowed for prey-animal safety, so it is a clean full-day daycare day for your dog.
See Out of AfricaPink Jeep tours, hot air balloons and helicopter rides effectively cannot take dogs (size and carrier limits, or it is an aircraft). Half day for a tour, full day with travel.
See Sedona toursA round runs about four to five hours, which is about the length of a full groom. Drop the dog for a groom while you play Oakcreek Country Club, Sedona Golf Resort or Coyote Trails, and pick up a fresh pup when you finish. We call it golf-and-groom.
See Oakcreek Country ClubA Sedona resort spa afternoon runs three to six hours and does not allow dogs, so it pairs naturally with a daycare day. The Chapel of the Holy Cross welcomes leashed dogs on the grounds but not inside, so pair it with a longer no-dog stop. And the three nearby National Monuments, Tuzigoot in Clarkdale (about ten minutes), Montezuma Castle in Camp Verde and Montezuma Well in Rimrock, actually do welcome leashed dogs on the trails through the BARK Ranger program, so those are bring-the-dog outings, not drop-off days.
Whatever the plan, your dog gets its own getaway with us. Book daycare, add a groom, and pick up a happy pup. Guests and locals welcome. Whether you are down the road or over the mountain, you are 'ohana here.
