A favorite among Arizona pet friendly resorts, Sanctuary welcomes cats, small and large dogs up to 50 pounds with a $100 non-refundable deposit. Pets on leash are allowed throughout the property, including the restaurant patio (although not inside elements restaurant, jade bar, the spa or pool area).

Upon check-in, pets receive a welcome letter and arrival gift, as well as a kitty litter box or puppy bag for waste. Owners also can request crates of various sizes and even a pet sitter if desired. Sanctuary coordinates with the housekeeping department to find the best time for cleaning, and provides a "Pet in Room" door hanger so pets are assured of privacy at this pinnacle of Scottsdale pet friendly resorts.
