About Working For Wags

Our Pack

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.

Frankie (& Robert), Founder & Chief Canine Officer

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.

Milena, Chief Canine Officer & Sitter

Milena has always loved animals and is constantly seeking their company. She has been traveling extensively, pet sitting, and has made many furry friends all over the U.S. and Mexico. Milena has also been in the business world all her life, helping companies with accounting, finance, HR, contract management, and compliance.

Over the last few years, she has been telling all of her friends that her next venture would involve animals. That’s when she came across the concept of Dogs of Tucson and immediately knew that it would be a great fit.

Colton, Sitter

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!

Samantha, Sitter

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.

Our dogs are more than just pets!

They are our children and family. We know you hate the thought of your pet being lonely. The look on your pet’s face when you head out for work or on vacation can leave us feeling guilt-ridden. We get it!

We are bonded and insured.

What our clients are saying.

  • We have used Working for Wags twice now, one for an overnight stay and this last time for a week long vacation. I am nervous leaving our pups; it helps a lot knowing they are in our home and not in a kennel. The communication was fabulous both times. I loved receiving pictures of our pups while we were away! Isabel was amazing! I have one pup who can be particular with people; she warmed right up to Isabel! We will definitely use Working for Wags in the future! Thank you for helping to make our vacation great!

  • Kristy was fantastic! My pets (dogs and cats) quickly warmed up to her and seemed to really feel comfortable with her (and the other sitter that visited too). I have one EXTRA nervous dog and I was shocked how quickly he warmed up to her. I got frequent updates about my pets and pictures even (which made me so happy and get to see how comfortable my pets were). It 100% put my mind as ease knowing my pets were in such good hands. Would definitely recommend.

  • We had a great first experience with Working for Wags! They came to our house to feed our two pups for several days while we were on vacation. Following their visits, they sent us updates by text and pictures by email, both which were greatly appreciated. They also helped us try to troubleshoot some odd behavior from our dogs, which turned out to be related to a smoke alarm that required battery replacement and was scaring the pups. Overall, we had a very positive experience and will definitely use Working for Wags again when we are out of town. :-)

  • Justeen watched our cat for 5 days while we were gone for an extra long weekend. She also watered our plants and took the trash out even though we had forgotten to ask. When we came back our cat, who can be withdrawn after we've been away, acted like we had only been gone a couple of hours. We're very happy to have found this company.

  • Angela not only took care of all 4 of our cats each day but went above and beyond with pictures and updates everyday. She even watered our plants. I highly recommend!

  • I can't recommend Working For Wags enough! They worked hard to win over my two timid/uncertain dogs during the initial meet and greet and the subsequent trial runs we had prior to leaving on vacation. The dogs loved Payton and she sent lots of updates and pictures. This is absolutely the way to go if you have dogs like mine that don't do well in a boarding facility environment. Working For Wags took away the stress (and guilt) of leaving my boys and made sure they had an enjoyable time while we were away.

  • We’re so incredibly happy to have found a company and truly genuine people to watch our dogs. We have 3 dogs and we’ve never been able to travel without them unless a family member could help out. Ali, with Working for Wags, was the most incredible sitter! She watched them overnight for 4 nights and even spent a little extra time with them the day we were flying back in. She also helped with a very last minute house issue, which saved the day! The entire process was super professional and friendly, communication was seamless, and we will only be using Working for Wags, moving forward. A huge shout out to Ali!

  • I'd give them 10 stars if I could! The sitters are wonderful!! They are true animal lovers, and I trust them fully. One of my dogs has epilepsy, so finding sitters comfortable with the risk of a seizure can be tough. But, they came fully prepared and knowledgeable about what to do. If you love your dogs like I do, I highly recommend them!! 🐕💙
