A little island warmth in the high desert. We're Johnny's Doghouse, Cottonwood.
Grooming, boarding, daycare and training with lei-and-aloha, just down the road from Old Town Cottonwood. A little slice of the islands dropped into the red rocks.

Little touches that turn a dog visit into a vacation, and the reason valley families keep coming back.
Every dog gets a paper lei at check-in, because everyone deserves the aloha treatment.
Mellow Hawaiian music keeps tails wagging and nerves calm from the moment you walk in.
Palms out front, pines on the horizon. We greet you with Aloha and send you off with Mahalo. Here, your dog is ohana.

Johnny built this place around one idea: treat every dog like family. This corner has long been a dog spot in the valley, and that aloha spirit shows up in patient grooming, cozy boarding, joyful daycare and positive training, all under one tiki roof, run by neighbors who know your dog's name.

Happy valley dogs across Google and Yelp, the whole picture, not a filtered five-star highlight reel.
I can’t say enough good things about Johnny’s Doghouse, Chris! The level of customer service he gives every single time is unbelievable. You can feel how much he truly cares the moment you walk in, he’s patient, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable. My pups are usually nervous at groomers, but with Chris they’re completely relaxed and actually excited to go.
This is our second time boarding our pups with Johnny’s Doghouse. Kathleen was there to greet our dogs when they arrived, and they remembered her. One of our pups Arthur is extremely selective about who he trusts. Got a picture yesterday of him following Kathleen around in the yard looking so happy!! Once again, we are able to be away with peace of mind. Love this place!!!
What a gem of a place!! Doggie Day Care!! So clean and safe. Beautiful building and grounds, it’s easy to see that they care about cleanliness. The set up is ideal for my little small dogs because they’re separated from big dogs. Shady outside play area and separate dog runs too. I’m so glad we found you Johnny!!
