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.
