Where Dogs Feel at Home
Loving, personalized dog boarding on five peaceful acres in Cornville, Arizona.
Not a kennel. A home.
Happy Hounds of Arizona is a small, personal boarding and daycare tucked into five quiet acres in Cornville, Arizona. We keep our guest numbers intentionally limited so every dog receives real, individual attention — not a number in a run.
Your dog will sleep indoors, explore a large secure fenced yard, enjoy daily walks and playtime, and be cared for by someone who has spent a lifetime loving and caring for dogs. This is a home, and your dog is a guest in it.

The care your dog deserves
True Home Environment
Your dog stays in a real home — not a commercial facility. Comfortable, calm, and stress-free.
Large Secure Fenced Yard
A large, securely fenced yard gives dogs plenty of safe room to roam, sniff, relax, and play, surrounded by five peaceful acres.
Individual Attention
Limited guest numbers mean your dog is never lost in a crowd. Every dog gets personal time and care.
Puppies Through Seniors
From curious puppies and active adults to gentle seniors, care is personalized to each dog's age, comfort, energy, and individual needs.
Daily Walks & Enrichment
Backed to Coconino National Forest, guests can experience structured walks, playtime, and enrichment activities that keep dogs happy, stimulated, and well-exercised.
A Lifetime of Experience
Decades of hands-on dog care means your pet is in experienced, confident, and loving hands.

A Meet & Greet is required before your first stay. All dogs must be comfortable in a small, home-based group setting and are accepted only after a successful Meet & Greet. This lets us meet your dog, answer your questions, and make sure we're the right fit.
A Lifetime of Loving Dogs
“I’ve shared my life with dogs since childhood—as a devoted owner, careful observer, and hands-on caretaker. Dogs aren’t a business to me. They’re family.”
Happy Hounds of Arizona grew out of a simple belief: every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and at ease when their family is away. I keep my guest list small on purpose, because real care takes real time.
My five acres in Cornville give dogs space to breathe, explore, and simply be dogs — with someone who genuinely loves them watching over every moment.
Real dogs, real moments
