Katie

I am a co-owner of The Kritter Sitters and a 40 year resident of Tucson, originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. I am a proud mom of a 10-year-old rescued Min Pin appropriately named Rocket and blessed Grandma to the best the dog in the world named Scout. A lifelong lover of dogs and cats growing up with both since childhood! I have a true passion in caring for others and believe strongly that all animals deserve to be treated with a gentle and caring hand. I bond quickly with the pets in my care, giving them the same love and attention that I would give my own fur baby.

Emily

Co-Owner and Pet Sitter Extraordinaire since 2017. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, cats, horses, and all types of kritters. I grew up with both dogs and cats and we always had at least one family pet in the house. Today I am the proud rescue mom of two adorable dogs, Scout and Athena. They are my world! The opportunity to be in this line of work is truly enriching. Here at The Kritter Sitters I wear many hats. Prior to making a big move to New England I pet sat full time. These days you can find me managing the books, scheduling visits, maintaining our web presence and generally making sure everything behind the scenes runs smoothly.

Originally from the Great Lakes region I moved to Tucson in 1994. Since that time, I've worked for myself, and been a business owner with a career in the healing arts. It goes without saying that I love animals and am always mom to a minimum of 4 animals in my own home. I like house and pet sitting because it's quiet. I see it as a time to restore my energy while helping out. I cherish being in the company of your pet and bonding with them while providing you the comfort of knowing your home and pets are safe.

Robin

I moved to Tucson from Texas in 1991. I feel like I’ve been here long enough to call myself a native Tucsonan. I’m a huge animal lover. I previously worked for a veterinary hospital for 13+ years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, goats and chickens. In my free time, I enjoy going on adventures with my husband and son. I love being able to give my pet sitting clients the peace of mind of knowing their pets are being loved and well taken care of and treated as one of my own. At home I am at the beck and call of two cats of own (Krafty and Twinkle Toes) and one very spoiled bulldog mix (Veruca).

Althea

I grew up on the Tohono O’odham Reservation and moved to Tucson in 1985. I’ve had animals my whole life. It feels so great to meet so many different pets and care for them as if they were my own. I’m a Media Buyer for a local advertising agency and have several pets such as dogs, tortoises, and a cat. I love to travel when I can and enjoy listening to music.

I’m a Native Tucsonan. I’m currently a Musical Instrument Repair Technician for a local Tucson school district. I’m the Cat Man Extraordinaire for The Kritter Sitters team. Cats have been a part of my life since I was a kid. I have been in several music bands throughout Tucson over the years and enjoy playing music when I can.

Oliver

I grew up in Bisbee and have been in Tucson for many years. I bartend for special events for at a local hotel. I enjoy all types of animals and taking care of them. You might see me early in the mornings hiking up Tumamoc Hill. I enjoy dining in different restaurants with friends and family.

Daniela

I’ve always loved animals from an early age. When I moved to Tucson in 2012, I attended the University of Arizona for Music Education. A few years later, I married my husband and eventually fostered my first dog through Hard Luck Hounds: Rusty. From there, my work with animal rescue took off. After Rusty, I began to help Hope of Deliverance and eventually became a Board Member. Through HOD, I fostered countless dogs and litters throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Eventually, I stepped down to take a different direction with Precious Time Dogs under HOPE Animal Shelter. Precious Time Dogs' mission is to help at-risk dogs in Nogales, Arizona find relief while they are networked to partner rescues or taken under HOPE. In between, I’ve pet-sat for countless friends and references. In my spare time, I love kicking it back with my family, my mutt, Gertie, studying for my new career in Spanish and Linguistics at the UA, and eating tasty food. I’m excited to join the Kritter Sitters Team and looking forward to serving pet owners in the Tucson area!
