What a lifesaver for a freelancer like me!  I take my 3 Italian Greyhounds to Hillside Unleashed in north Scottsdale - the first doggie day spa and boarding facility my husband and I have felt comfortable using. I'm then free to be productive in my work, while knowing our dogs are getting great exercise and socialization.  The staff always relays how the dogs did, and periodic written \"report cards\" provide additional information in a fun context.\n\nThis is hands down the most carefully appointed, spotlessly clean and beautifully designed facility I've seen.  The staff are extremely attentive - there is always at least one staff member in the separate large and small dog play areas at all times.  When we leave town, we also board our dogs at Hillside Unleashed because we trust that they will be cared for with affection as well as professionalism.  The boarding area, like the rest of the facility, is absolutely spotless.\n\nDoggie day spas are all over the place, but many are understaffed - and not properly maintained (i.e., just plain dirty.)  Hillside Unleashed sets the bar for how a doggie day spa should be run.  Highly recommend.
