Service

We charge by time, not by the number of animals. However, if you have several different types of animals (cats, reptiles, horses, etc), we may suggest a longer visit window to ensure we can accommodate all their needs.

Most animals do much better while in the comfort of their own home and with their routine. This allows them to have familiar scents, structures, and environments while we care for them. That’s why all of our services are provided in the comfort of your home.

Care For Your Pets

When you are looking for a pet sitter you need someone who both you and your pets can trust. You also want to make sure that they are flexible, trustworthy, and reliable. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to schedule and receive care.

Experienced, animal-loving pet sitters.

  • Our sitters are vetted.
  • We make sure that everyone we hire is safe, reliable, and has a true passion for animals.
  • All sitters pass a background check.
  • All sitters go through an interview and orientation process.

Meet your sitter before you schedule.

We believe that you and your pet should feel as comfortable as possible with your sitter before our scheduled service takes place. That’s why we offer a free Meet & Greet before your first service begins. This gives everyone a chance to get to know each other and make sure that this is a good fit.

Dogs’ Day Out

Does your busy schedule leave your dog bored at home? Send your dog out on an adventure with friends!

Our outings are focused on training, socialization, and fun. One of our professional handlers will pick up your dog in the morning and return them home in the afternoon after a full day of adventure. Possible activities include: visits to pet-friendly stores, public places, hiking or walking, and our private dog park (if the dog has passed a social eval). Downtime and periods of rest will be included as needed to keep your dog happy and balance out the day.

Good manners and obedience are reinforced throughout the day, building your dog’s confidence and focus in new environments. This will help your dog become a more well-rounded and reliable companion wherever you go together. These sessions will include training for commonly-used skills, for example: how to wait at the door, walk on a leash without pulling, and come when called. They’re also a grr-eat opportunity to give your dog more opportunities for socialization under the safe guidance of a professional dog handler.

Each dog will be returned home after 5 hours of fun with goodies! Their first session will include a pair of dog socks and a collapsible bowl from Dogs of Tucson. Advanced registration is required. Typically, this outing runs from 8:30am1:30pm.

Pack Walks

Don’t like walking your dog alone? Could you use some motivation to walk your dog more often? Do you think your dog could benefit from more socialization? Join us for our weekly Pack Walks!

We host a group Pack Walk every Friday starting at 6:30am and running from 45 minutes to one hour long. As a group, we all meet up at a local, public area to walk our dogs and socialize. Walking with our group has many benefits, including safety in numbers, motivation to get your steps in, socialization time for your dog, and the guidance of a dog expert for any issues that arise! We’d love to have you join us. 

Remember the rules:

  1. Leashes are required. We prefer that you avoid retractable leashes!
  2. Please only let your dog greet other dogs that they already know. Some dogs can be leash reactive or timid, so proper care is required. Joining us on these walks can help build their confidence and social skills!
  3. Bring water for you and your dog! You both deserve a way to rehydrate while exercising.

Training Walks

Does your dog use a training collar for walks? Are you too busy to do daily walks and need help? Was your dog trained, but you don’t have the energy to reinforce training or good behavior after a long day at work?

We’re here to help! One of our professional dog handlers would be happy to take your dog out for training walks. We’ll come by to take your dog out for a walk through the neighborhood, practicing what they’ve been working on while also reinforcing the basics.

Our training walks are designed to help encourage manners and obedience skills, including various exercises that your dog can benefit from. Some of these include: walking on a leash without pulling, coming when called, sitting on command, ​leaving a scent alone, or ignoring something they see on the ground. Not only are these tricks useful for you as a pet parent, but they can also help keep your dog safe!

We recommend these walks for dogs who are currently attending (or who have already attended) a training class. This is a great way to reinforce what they’re learning and continue to maintain and build on these useful skills. The best way to keep skills is by using them, so we’d love to help ensure your dog is putting these skills to practice.

Let’s set up some times for your dog to start training walks! We can do these walks anywhere from 3 to 7 times a week, depending on how often you’d like your dog to get some exercise and practice in. 

We suggest having a good training collar prepared! We would recommend a prong, martingale, or gentle leader. Harnesses and retractable leashes are not good for use during training walks.

30-minute walk or visit is $28

Training walks are $40 per 30-minute or $60 60-minute.

Overnights start at $75 for our standard overnight which is roughly 5/6 pm to 8/9 am – roughly 14 hours, then for example, here is how additional time can change the overnight price:

  • If your pups can be alone for 4-5 hours at a time the charge for the overnight would be $100. This adds a midday check-in which can be a combination of playtime/walk/etc.
  • If they can only be alone for 3-4 hours at a time the charge for overnight would be $120. This added two check-ins.
  • We also have some clients that prefer us not to leave except for maybe 1-2 hours at a time and that would be $175 an overnight.

When it comes to boarding. We have our facility at River Rd and Orange Grove. We charge $115 for daycare and a supervised overnight with discounts on multiple nights. We do require that the dogs that board with us pass all the social requirements have the vaccinations and are spayed or neutered as we detail on our website at: dogsoftucson.com

The pricing for a Dogs’ Day Out is $150 per single session or $675 for 5 sessions.

Pack walks are free for Dogs of Tucson members. All other dogs must pay a $15 fee to attend.

Introducing Tucson’s FIRST Canine Social Club (Indoor Dog Park) & sister company to Working for Wags 🐾 Dogs of Tucson 🐾

A PLACE FOR DOGS AND THEIR HUMANS.

Our vision was to build a place where Tucson dog owners and lovers can come together, with their four-legged companions, and enjoy a place built just for them. Dogs of Tucson combines the culture and community of dog owners with the everyday needs dog owners have. The facility is built around convenience while providing a fun atmosphere that you and your dog(s) will enjoy. Our number one priority is the attention to detail your dog(s) deserves with all our services and to provide a safe, clean, and accountable dog park environment.

So the next time you want to go out with friends, unwind after work, hangout with the whole family or host your next get together, don’t leave your dog(s) at home and when it comes to taking care of your best friend, you can count on us to provide the level of service your dog(s) deserves.

We are an indoor dog park (think humans stay with their dogs to enjoy temperature controlled fun) with staycations (dog boarding), doggie daycare, and training. We would love to get to know you and your pup!

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 licensed, bonded, and insured.

Contact us.

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!

  • 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!! 🐕💙

  • 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!

  • 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 did such an awesome job with our dogs! This was the first time we have left our dogs in a very long time due to 2 of the 3 being elderly and needing extra care. Angela was very attentive to their needs. We never had to worry about how they were doing because she would send updates via texts with pictures several times a day. Angela also brought up the mail and took care of garbage. I think the house was cleaner when we came home than when we left. I would not hesitate to have Angela back to watch out furry babies.

  • 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!
