“Our experience with Paloma has been great!!!! She is super nice and sweet to my pup, Chloe. We are using her for two weekends in a row while we are visiting Tucson. I would recommend Paloma to anyone needing pet sitting in Tucson!”

“Our Aussiedoodle had a wonderful time with Barbara! He can be a little shy, but he happily ran out to play with the other sweet dogs that were there that day. Although Barbara's house isnt close for us, the drive was definitely worth the peace of mind knowing that Oliver was in safe hands. We'd definitely leave him with Barbara again!”

Sally S.

“Sylvie’s doggie day care is fantastic. My dog, Liam, can’t wait to go to Sylvie’s home to play with the other dogs. Great fun, exercise, and excellent care. The videos that Sylvie sends say it all…happy pups!”

“Beth is incredibly flexible and communicative. Her home is filled with fun, adorable animals. The meet and greet went wonderfully, as she was welcoming and gave us a tour of her place. We're glad to have found her, especially since she's so close by.”

Anar T.

“Very nice young woman! My Ranger seemed very calm and relaxed in her home when I went to pick him up. He is just a young pup and she was able to manage him. I was really happy with her quick response to my last minute request, it was a life saver! Would recommend!”

Lauren T.

“We appreciate Adrian and his gentle and relaxing care of our dog,. He was flexible with his drop off and pick up times. He cares for other dogs at the same time and helps guide the dogs to get along. We highly recommend him for your dog care needs.”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. For over 20 years, I’ve trained many dogs small and large including bully breeds, giving me hands-on experience with everything from playful puppies to strong, high-energy adults and gentle senior dogs. What makes me different from other sitters is that caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s how my family and I live every day. On our family farm, we have dogs of our own, along with sheep, chickens, cats, turtles, horses, and pigs. Managing and loving this many animals has taught me how to handle all personalities, safely introduce new pets, and keep everyone happy and stress-free. I’m comfortable with training reinforcement, senior pet care, and even administering medications when needed. When your furry friend stays with us, they’re not just looked after—they’re welcomed into a safe, loving home where animals are treated like family. Animals aren’t just part of my routine—they are my routine. Living on a farm with dogs, sheep, chickens, cats, turtles, horses, and pigs means caring for animals is how we start and end every day. Feeding, walking, playing, and checking in on each one is second nature. Because animals are already a full-time part of our life, adding your pet into our routine is seamless. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, your furry friend will get plenty of attention and love throughout the day. Our home sits on a beautiful 2-acre property right in the center of town, surrounded by large pine and eucalyptus trees that keep the property shaded and cool almost year-round. We’ve designed our farm to be safe and comfortable for pets of all kinds. There are secure, fenced areas where dogs can run and play freely, as well as plenty of quiet, shaded spots for resting outdoors. Inside, we have cozy, pet-friendly spaces for naps, snuggles, or crate time if that’s what your dog prefers. Because we live and work from home, your pets will have near-constant companionship and care. Our own dogs are friendly and social, and we carefully manage introductions to make sure every guest feels safe, relaxed, and loved.

About: I am a person who has loved animals since the day I was born. I have a large home, a fenced in backyard, and I’m at home usually all day long to take care of your pet. I love to read a book with an animal on my lap or at my side. My husband works from home part time and he is also seen frequently with an animal beside him. And I have a 20 year old daughter at home who adores animals. My grand children are also frequent visitors and they love to play with animals. We are a home filled with people who love all animals. I am a stay at home mom and grandma. So I have plenty of time to give love and care to your pets. I am very organized and like to make sure that my animals eat at the same time. I love to just sit on the couch and read a book while petting an animal. My two dogs are always at my feet following me around and I’m sure your sweet pet would fit right in. My grown-up daughter lives at home and my grandbabies are here frequently and all of us love animals. My husband works from home part time and has also been seen to have an animal by his side. We are an absolute animal loving family. I have two small dogs so your fur baby would have friends to play with. I have an absolutely secure, fenced backyard and I have a kennel inside that they can be crated in for night if that’s what they are used to. I’m also experienced in administration of medications to both cats and dogs including pills, creams, eye drops and shots. I am here to accommodate your pet’s needs, including special routines or schedules they may have if possible. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs or cats.

“Wonderful human and caretaker - Victoria takes care of my canine pal with much love and attention. She gets her exercise and plays with some canine pals all day.”

“Lesley has been great with Snowball multiple times. Very caring and accommodating for last minute circumstances (on my end). I trust her and appreciate everything she's done for my pup!”

Gabby G.

“Stephanie is great, she took great care of my dog Maya, took her to the park, had her play with doggy friends. She was even careful to not overwork my dog so she kept her on a leash for a little bit so as not to over stress her, that is a level of detail that impressive. Book Stephanie if you want your dog to be safe and happy, I definitely will again.”

About: Hello, my name is Sabrina and I’m so excited to care for your pets! I’m experienced with all sizes/breeds and I am committed to ensuring your pet is safe and happy. My lifelong passion for animals and work ethic make for a trusting care giver. I’m organized, attentive and prioritize safety and hygiene. You can enjoy your vacation or any other plans at ease while your pet is under my supervision. Your senior and/or disabled pets will be cared for with the attention they require. Does your dog have a lot of energy? I also enjoy being outdoors and doing enrichment/training. If you have any special requests, I will make them happen to the best of my abilities! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby(s)! I work part time doing childcare and have plenty of time to care for your pets, home and would love to tend to your plants too! Please note that for house sitting, I will occasionally need to leave for up to 8 hours if I am booked for childcare in advance, but not often. Please check in if your pet requires around the clock care and I will let you know if I am able to at that time. Otherwise I am with your pets majority of the time :) I have the most gentle and loving senior retriever and a sweet playful senior husky who will happily keep your pets company if they come to my home for boarding/doggy daycare. Sorry, I am unable to host cats due to our husky’s small prey drive. Standard protocol is to keep our dogs separated in our home and muzzled while socializing during the first couple of days at minimum to ensure everyone’s safety :) if your dog has a muzzle, please bring provide it. If I am doing drop-ins or overnights, I will happily keep your pets in their usual routine while respecting you and your home. Your home will look just as you left it and your pets will be in great spirits.

“I’m beyond happy!! Lulu had a great day and went straight to bed. Kenzie was very responsive and checked through out the day. Lulu seemed to love them. Will be booking Kenzie forever!! Thank you for taking great care of Lulu 🫶🏼”

“I can’t say enough nice things about Kathy. We were in the middle of a move and planned on stopping in Tucson for two days. Our Airbnb fell through and we had to find care for our 2 dogs last minute. In a very stressful situation, Kathy relieved all stress related to our pets. We have two 1 1/2 year-old dachshunds and they can be very particular. They immediately loved her. Her home is very accommodating for your pets. Kathy has a spacious back yard. She provided pictures and updates of my little dudes thriving throughout the day which absolutely alleviated my concerns as they have only been watched by family. Honestly, I wish Kathy lived in California. She would be my go to dog sitter. Book with her, you can’t go wrong!”
