Our story, our roots
When you’re choosing grooming, daycare, or boarding, you’re not just picking a place—you’re choosing people. At Paws-itively Purr-fect, every wag, purr, and happy tail means the world to us. We’re a group of dedicated animal lovers who don’t just care for pets—we celebrate them.
Whether your furry friend is here for full-service pet grooming, a fun day at our pet daycare, or a cozy overnight pet boarding stay, we treat them like family right here in Buckeye, Arizona. This page is your chance to meet the team you’re trusting with your pet.
Jon & Debbie
Jon and I are true animal lovers at heart. We were both raised surrounded by animals—Jon in Illinois and me in Arizona—and that early connection shaped everything we do today.
I spent over 16 years as a veterinary technician, a career I truly loved. That experience taught me how much the little details matter—comfort, handling, and paying attention to each pet as an individual.
Back in 1985, I began pet sitting and boarding pets in the Buckeye area to help local families who needed trustworthy care for their beloved animals. At the time, our community was small, and quality pet care options were limited—so it just made sense to step in and help. Over the years, what began as a part-time service grew steadily while I continued working in the veterinary field.
By 2004, I took the leap and ran the business full time. Then, in 2006, I met Jon—a perfect match in every way. We both had shown dogs, loved riding horses, and shared a deep passion for animals. Together, we’ve continued to grow and refine what we offer, adding full-time grooming and expanding our boarding services.
Katie
Katie is part of the Paws-itively Purr-fect team, and we’re so glad you’re here getting to know the people you’ll see when you walk through our doors.
We know it’s a big deal to hand your pet’s leash to someone else—and learning names and faces helps turn “a first visit” into “our place.”
Care you can feel
Why we love what we do
We built Paws-itively Purr-fect around something simple: pets deserve more than a quick transaction. They deserve kindness, patience, and a place where they’re genuinely enjoyed.
