Meet Our Team!
Katie
Co-owner of The Kritter Sitters and a 40 year resident of Tucson, originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm 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
Hello, pet lovers! I'm Emily, one of the proud co-owners here at The Kritter Sitters. As an avid animal lover with a deep-rooted passion for providing top-notch care, we founded The Kritter Sitters to offer a personalized, stress-free pet sitting experience for furry friends and their devoted owners alike. I have a special place in my heart for dogs, cats, horses, and all types of kritters. Growing up we always had at least one family pet in the house. The opportunity to be in this line of work is truly enriching. Currently 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, maintaining our social media presence and generally making sure everything behind the scenes runs smoothly.
Thank you for considering The Kritter Sitters for your pet sitting needs. We can't wait to meet you and your beloved kritters!

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.

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).

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’ve always loved animals from an early age. I 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. In between, I’ve pet-sat for countless friends and references. In my spare time, I love kicking back with my family, my mutt, Gertie, and studying for my new career in Spanish and Linguistics at the UA,

Hello! My name is Mona. I grew up primarily in the southwest surrounded by pets. I also spent some time during the summers helping my family out on their farm in the Midwest. I am experienced, responsible, non-smoking with a love for animals and ready to care for your pets and home! I will offer peace of mind while you're away and provide (cuddles, fun, playtime, and walks) and of course, food, water, exercise, and loving companionship for your animals to ensure that they're happy and healthy while you are away.
Emily
Hi, I’m Emily, a passionate educator and dedicated musician who finds joy in caring for animals and homes alike. By day, I enlighten young minds as a full-time teacher with TUSD. But my love for music extends beyond the classroom, as I grace the stage as a violinist with the prestigious Tucson Symphony Orchestra and share my expertise through private lessons. Despite my busy schedule, my heart is firmly rooted in the wellbeing of animals. At home, I share my life with two beloved feline companions, Abby and Skamper, who bring endless joy and companionship. Beyond caring for my own pets, I find fulfillment in extending my nurturing touch to the pets of others. Whether it's providing pet sitting services or ensuring the security of homes while owners are away, my commitment to excellence shines through. With my dependable nature and genuine love for animals, clients can rest assured that their beloved pets and homes are in capable hands.
