A Place for Dogs to Stay, Play, and Get Cleaned Up In Cottonwood and Sedona, AZ
Boarding That Feels More Like Home
Leaving your dog behind can be hard, and we understand how much trust it takes to choose the right place. At Applewood Kennels, we want every dog’s stay to feel safe, comfortable, and familiar from the moment they arrive.
Because the owners live right here on site, the dogs are part of our everyday routine; not left alone in an empty building after hours. They are cared for by people who know animals, understand different personalities, and take the time to help each dog settle in.
Whether your dog is playful, shy, older, energetic, or staying with us for the first time, we do our best to make them feel at home while you are away.
A Social Kennel Where Dogs Can Be Dogs
Applewood Kennels is a social kennel, which means dogs have the chance to play, move around, and spend time with other dogs when it is a good fit for them.
We believe boarding should not feel lonely or boring. Many dogs are happier when they have activity, attention, and the chance to enjoy themselves throughout the day. Some dogs love making new friends, while others prefer a slower, quieter pace.
We pay attention to each dog’s personality and comfort level so their time with us feels safe, natural, and positive. Our goal is simple: happy dogs, comfortable dogs, and a stay that feels less stressful for everyone.
Grooming to Help Your Dog Feel Fresh and Comfortable
Applewood Kennels also offers grooming to help dogs look and feel their best. Whether your dog needs a cleanup during their stay or a fresh groom before heading home, we approach grooming with patience, kindness, and care.
We know grooming can be stressful for some dogs, especially if they are nervous, older, or not used to the process. That is why we take a calm, gentle approach and do our best to make each dog feel comfortable.
From boarding to grooming, our goal is to care for your dog in a way that feels personal, familiar, and reassuring.
