A Home Away from Home

A homey, caring place in Cottonwood, Arizona where dogs can stay, play, and be looked after by people who truly know animals.

A Kennel That Feels Personal

Leaving your dog with someone else is a big deal. We understand that.

At Applewood Kennels, we want pet owners to feel comfortable knowing their dog is staying somewhere safe, familiar, and cared for. This is not a big, cold facility where dogs are just checked in and forgotten. This is our home, and the animals here are part of our everyday life.

We take the time to get to know the dogs who stay with us; their personalities, their routines, and what helps them feel comfortable.

This Is Our Home, Too

One of the things that makes Applewood Kennels special is that the owners live right here on site.

That means the dogs staying with us are not tucked away at some empty building after hours. They are close by, part of the rhythm of our day, and cared for by people who are personally connected to the property.

For many pet owners, that makes all the difference. There is comfort in knowing your dog is staying somewhere that feels lived-in, watched over, and personal.

A Lifetime of Caring for Animals

35+ Years of Dedicated Dog Care

Over the years, that experience has taught us that every dog is different. Some dogs run right in ready to play. Some need a little time, a gentle voice, and a slower introduction. Some are older and just want a quiet place to rest.

We understand those differences, and we care about making each dog feel as comfortable as possible while they are here.

This experience is not just about knowing how to run a kennel. It is about knowing how to read dogs, how to build trust, and how to make their stay feel easier.
