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 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 Katelyn! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with family dogs and spending time trail riding with my grandma sparked my passion for animals and their care. That passion led me to participate in FFA, where I showed market steers, which helped me develop my interest in veterinary medicine.

I recently graduated from Pima JTED’s Veterinary Science Program, and I am an NAVTA Approved Veterinary Assistant (AVA). I’m also certified in Pet CPR, First Aid, and Fear-Free Animal Handling. My education and hands-on experience have given me valuable skills in animal care, behavior, and handling techniques to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable.

At home, I’m lucky to have two wonderful dogs—Stella, an 85-pound Hound Lab mix, and Saddie, a 55-pound Tolle-Aussie mix. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience working with various livestock, including horses, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs.

Currently, I work at our sister company Dogs of Tucson, so my availability is limited to check-ins and dog walks. However, I am committed to providing attentive, reliable care while maintaining pets’ normal routines in their familiar environment. I know how important it is to trust someone with your home and beloved pets. This is why I always prioritize respect, attention to detail, and clear communication—including regular updates and photos—so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members and providing them with the best care possible!

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.

Hello! Pleased to meet you, my name is Payton. I am an Engineering Student at the University of Arizona and a long-time lover of animals. I have 14 years of equine experience teaching lessons in both Western and English disciplines along with experience in maintaining and caring for horses of a variety of breeds. Growing up, I was no stranger to pets personally owning multiple reptiles from tortoises to leopard geckos all the way to fuzzy rats.

I am a large dog breed lover, I am especially a big fan of my beloved “mini horse” Stella, my 6-year-old Bloodhound. I have worked closely with pitbull rescues in the past and am comfortable with stronger breeds. I also have experience with both large and small fish tanks and am extremely comfortable with live feedings if necessary for care. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a vast variety of pet breeds and I treat each animal I encounter as if it were my own. Your pet is more than a pet, they are family. I look forward to meeting, caring for, and loving your furry friends while you’re away.

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.
