About this business

Kennel Nirvana is proudly setting the standards against which others are judged. We have been voted "Best in Tucson" by Tucson Weekly Publication. We are proud of our quiet kennel. Our guests can interact with other compatible boarders in one of our large exercise yards where they can socialize, run, play, swim, go potty, or just "hang out," enjoying the sunshine and having a good time. They go out twice a day for hours (not minutes) as long as the weather is nice. We try to imitate as normal a home routine as possible. Our ... read more

The Best Place to Leave our Corgi – The only place to take your dog. The owners know how treat and take care of our pet. We found them helpful, courtious, and willing to do what ever it takes to provide excellent care & peace of mind for us. Thank you so much for your Kennel

truly the best in tucson for a dog – My 2 dogs, a 105lb yellow lab and a 50lb golden retriever mix stayed at kennel nirvana for 15 days. We had a long vacation and my parents were going to watch our dogs since we just plain do not do kennels. The plan fell through when their dog got sick and they couldn't watch our dogs for our trip which was 3 weeks away. I looked at so many kennels I thought I was never going to find a place until I drove over the hills and through the woods to kennel nirvana. For the owner who thinks a do... read more

My dog loves the place – As an owner, it's hard to know just how good a kennel is -- you're not the one staying overnight after all. I can tell you that my dog has been to several kennels in Tucson and LA but (except for one in LA), none have been right for my big ol' guy. It's important to me that my dog have some interaction with other dogs and get to do his doody in a normal fashion. Doin' it in his run is not his style. When I bring my dog home from other kennels, he goes right to the back yard, performs various bodily f... read more

Kennel Nirvana is a good place to board dogs – When we moved to Tucson our dogs were sent to Kennel Nirvana as part of the moving package we had with a pet relocation service. The owners are a bit 'gruff' but once you get passed that you realize that they are decent people who run a very good kennel. I am very comfortable sending my very large dogs there. My pets live inside at our house and are quite pampered at home but they seem none the worse when I pick them up after boarding. They are well fed, and enjoy the company of... read more

Worst experience ever! – I took my ten month old boxer to Kennel Nirvana because I had no friends who could take him, and I regret it. Not once did she explain prices, which are a little too much for the kind of service i recieved. When I got home from my vacation, the owner yelled at me because my dog would not stop barking and didnt acknowledge her as someone he knew! She accused my of not properly socializing with him and even went as far as to say that he was abused by one of my neighbors or even me! She said that since ... read more

My Dogs Come Home Acting Like Dogs – Neurotic pet owners are always going to be threatened by people who know a thing or two about husbanding animals. The Carletons know animals and that's all I need to know. I have been taking my two precious spoiled-rotten dogs to Kennel Nirvana for frequent, long stays for about 6 years now. I'll be darned if the little darlings don't come home totally and refreshingly in-touch with their inner Dogness. They are always happy, healthy, and restored to a life of living on four legs, sniffin... read more

The Dog Spa – We've been taking our dogs to Kennel Nirvana, out on the beautiful northwest edge of town, for 20 years. Glenn and Natalie are incredibly conscientious and kind, place is immaculate, and our dogs go and come happy and healthy. We recommend absolutely without qualification.

A happy dog is a happy spouse – My dog loves going to the kennel, more than staying home it seems. He sees his bed going out the door, and he is headed for the door. I don't have to worry that my pet is mistreated, or neglected like the horror stories I have heard from my friends. I am out of town often and I wouldn't consider any other kennel for my pet.

one very happy dog – After reading some of these reviews, I was a little concerned. But based on word of mouth, I went ahead and left my dog here for Christmas. We were gone 8 days and when we returned, the first thing we did was pick up our 8 month old puppy. She looked great, seemed like she had a great time, and was very sad to leave! She was happy to see us, but I could tell she had a fun vacation. The owner was not rude, just very blunt. But I paid her to take care of my dog, not cater to me. Great job!
