Our team is made up of vet techs, vet assistants, dog daycare specialists, and dog-trained professionals in Tucson, AZ. Our dog sitters are 18+ and go through a series of steps to ensure they are qualified to work with your pets including basic dog care protocol & procedures and background checks.

With experience running multiple successful businesses, many hours of experience training and being trained by dogs, as well as a long history of being animal lovers, the team decided it was time to pursue a shared dream to create a safe place for dogs (dogsoftucson.com) and solve a recurring problem of never having someone experienced available to watch their pack when they wanted to take a vacation. 🐾

Our pack consists of Max, Maddie, and Macy, a tortoise named Micheal, and a chicken named Ethan.

Hello! I’m Angela. I grew up with dogs, cats, and fish all my life. I have 3 cats and each one is completely different from the others but in the end, all know when “Mom” need a cuddle cause we had a long day. I have 6 fish tanks so I can offer experienced care for your fish babies as well. I even had an iguana and a ferret.

Hi! My name is Colton.

I’ve always had a deep love for animals and years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to senior companions who need a little extra attention. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and on treating every pet like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to make sure each animal feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!

Hi! My name is Grace, and I am currently a student at the University of Arizona studying Veterinary Science. I’ve always enjoyed the company of my furry friends (as well as scaly, slimy, and all sorts of other critters!) and love to help others pets feel safe while their families are away. I currently have a variety of pets including a cat (Hitch), dogs (Scout, Annie, Drago, and Rudy), reptiles (Stanlee and Franklin), chickens (So many ladies!), fish (Kevin), and a parrot (Willow), and previously cared for show livestock such as pigs, goats, and lambs as an active member of the FFA for four years! I also care for livestock owned by the University of Arizona at the campus farm, and thoroughly enjoy the learning opportunities that has given me, such as certification in Cat and Dog First Aid. There is no animal too big or too small to fit into my care, and I enjoy the experience of taking care of exotics, livestock, and small animals alike!

Other than my love for animals and caring for critters, I thoroughly enjoy the outdoors through activities such as camping and hiking. I love watching wildlife in its natural habitat and have spent a lot of time in the forests of Arizona. You can rest assured knowing that your pets will receive the best care possibly under my supervision, and you will receive ample updates on the latest news on the happiness of your furry family members when they can’t be with you!

Hi, I’m Hunter!

Caring for animals has been a central part of my life for over 10 years, and I feel incredibly lucky to turn that passion into work I truly love. I provide reliable, attentive in-home pet care for dogs, cats, and small animals, and I take pride in building lasting relationships with both pets and their people.

I have extensive experience with a wide range of needs, including high-energy pets, seniors, puppies and kittens, and animals requiring medication or specialized care. I’m comfortable managing multiple pets at once and always follow routines closely to keep your pets feeling safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, or overnight house sitting, I approach every detail with consistency and care.

My background in psychology and my current graduate studies in Clinical Mental Health Counseling shape how I work with animals! I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and emotional needs to create a calm and supportive environment. I understand that every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to match their personality and routine.

As someone who has been trusted in clients’ homes for years, I also prioritize clear communication and reliability. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in capable, caring hands.

I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with the same level of care and attention I would give my own!

Hello! I am Kaitlyn, and I am a passionate caregiver with a lifetime of experience with dogs! I was raised fostering/rescuing dogs so I am good with shy dogs that may need some extra TLC. I have worked with senior dogs as well as puppies in my time with dogs. I have a wide range of experience and am looking forward to helping my you and your pups!

Hi! My name is Kaylee, and I’m an Approved Veterinary Assistant with over 3 years of pet sitting and animal care experience. I’m currently a full-time student at Pima Community College, working toward a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science at the University of Arizona, with plans to continue on to veterinary school.

Animals have been my passion since I was young, and I’m dedicated to improving their health, happiness, and quality of life. Through Pima JTED’s Veterinary Science program, I’ve gained hands-on experience in animal handling, grooming, and basic veterinary care. I’ve also volunteered at Pima Animal Care Center, assisting in the neutering of local feral cats, and worked at the Pima JTED Class Pet Clinic providing grooming and care.

Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or volunteering in the community, my goal is always the same — to provide safe, loving, and reliable care for every animal I meet.

Greetings!! My name is Kianna. I grew up with many different animals here in the desert. I started with hermit crabs, lizards and small snakes, then cats and dogs.

My passion for animals guided me to pursue some scientific and veterinary knowledge once I graduated high school. I went to veterinary tech school in 2010 at Pima Community College, which provided me with knowledge and hands-on experience in the veterinary field. After gaining some experience working as a veterinary technician for a couple of years, I started to branch out and pet sit, offering daily visits, knowledge and experience medication animals and overnight care. Through working in the field of veterinary medicine for the past 10 years, I have gained insight into taking care of special needs animals, Fear Free certification and shelter medicine. Now I am focusing on finishing up my Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Sciences.

Currently, my partner Jacob and I have 2 cats, Nusance and Kitty. Kitty is the I-want-your-attention kind of cat and Nusance is my sweet, sometimes cranky old lady, both of whom I love very much. Jacob and I like the great outdoors, including traveling, hiking and rock climbing. We both understand the need to have someone you trust take care of your fur babies while you are gone. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your fur babies as if they were my own.

Hi! My name is Samantha. I recently graduated from the University of Arizona, where I have a degree in Veterinary Science, as I have always been passionate about understanding and caring for animals from a medical perspective to a behavioral perspective. I’ve also raised sheep during high school through FFA, and have been exposed to various other livestock species as well.

At home, I have my own fur babies. I have my pit bull mix dog, Chori, my shy and sweet calico cat, Ippy, and my food-loving senior cat, Cookie! I understand how much pets are truly a part of the family. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, a cuddle, or special attention, I treat every animal like they’re my own.

Hi! My Name is Sophia. I have loved animals ever since I was a little kid. I currently have many pets myself– three dogs, some fish, two snakes, two frogs, and two rats– and have been pet sitting for several years. I’ve worked with animals ranging from cats to horses to birds to ferrets, but my passion has always been with dogs.

My dog Toffee and I have taken rally classes together, and I always love training my pets to do new things. People are always surprised when they find out my rats know how to do tricks! Apart from animals, I also love to play the piano and spend time doing community service. I pride myself on being compassionate and adaptable, always looking forward to learning new things and forging new connections. I always make sure that your fur babies are loved and cared for while you’re away, and I look forward to getting to know you and your animals!
