SERVICES
Features of The Bark Park
In-Home Pet Care
If you’re going away and have pets that need to be cared for, we’re here to help! Though Working for Wags, we also offer in-home services such as pet sitting, check-ins or playtime visits, dog walks, and more.
Working for Wags is our in-home pet-sitting and dog walking service. You don’t have to be a member of The Bark Park to hire our sitters. Our team is made up of vet techs, vet assistants, dog daycare specialists, and other animal-trained professionals in Tucson, AZ. Our dog sitters are all 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.
To learn more about how to book our sitters for an in-home stay or a walk at your location, please check out workingforwags.com
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 8:30am–1:30pm.
The pricing for a Dogs’ Day Out is $150 per single session or $675 for 5 sessions.
Please get in touch with us for pricing for multiple dogs or dogs with a history of leash or human/dog reactivity. All sessions are booked based on the availability of our team members.
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.
Dogs of Tucson members can attend for free. All other dogs must pay a $15 fee to attend. Please let us know which sessions you’d like to attend!
Get in touch with us for pricing for multiple dogs or dogs with a history of leash or human/dog reactivity.
Remember the rules:
- Leashes are required. We prefer that you avoid retractable leashes!
- 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!
- 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. Our pricing is $40 per 30 minutes or $60 per hour.
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.
Dog Staycation
Give Your Dogs Their Own Little Vacation!
Going on vacation? Why not treat your dog to one, as well? Our friendly and attentive team will do everything possible to ensure your dog enjoys their home away from home experience.
Whether you need to board your dog for an overnight stay, the weekend, a holiday, or for more extended care, your dog will spend their days enjoying supervised open play and nights of restful sleep. Your pup will be tired, but happy when they go to bed. Our boarding facilities are fully-equipped to handle dogs of all shapes and sizes.
Traveling and time away from home can be stressful enough on its own, so the last thing you want is to worry about your furry friend. If you’re taking a vacation or going out of town for a quick trip, don’t stress about trying to find a friend or family member to take care of your pup! We offer safe and caring overnight dog boarding services.
Dogs of Tucson offers a variety of hotel accommodations to fit any dog size and any budget. Our Canine Companions pay attention to all the details that make your dog’s stay with us seem more like home, and we will do our best to meet any special requests that you may have.
As dog lovers ourselves, we take your dog’s care very seriously. That’s why we have some of the same Park Rufferees and team members that you see at The Bark Park also providing the boarding care. That way you and your pup already know and are comfortable with the team providing them love and care while you are away.
Member dogs will be familiar with our team from The Bark Park, which will make your dog feel comfortable and at ease staying at our facility. Our team will also have had the opportunity to learn your pup’s personality and play preferences, so you can trust they’ll be in good hands.

Doggie Daycare
The Perfect Way To Socialize Your Dog!
Many pet owners work all day, which is why there is a need for doggie daycare. Doggie daycare works a lot like daycare for children. You drop your dog off in the morning on the way to work. While you are gone, your dog will get plenty of attention and love from our Canine Companions. Your dog’s day will be filled with activities based on the curriculum set out by the daycare facility for your dog’s specific needs and temperament.
Your dog may enjoy his day by playing with other dogs, playing with people, or snuggling up on a nice bed or couch and getting loving attention. Your dog will have the chance to spend time indoors and outdoors, including the opportunity to have outside potty breaks. This is so much better than waiting all day for attention, as some dogs do for their humans.
Life can be hectic at times — we can definitely relate. Sometimes, having someone else watch your best friend for a few hours can help take some of the load off your plate. What if, at the same time, there was a way to provide your dog with some valuable physical and mental health benefits? Well, there is, and it’s doggie daycare at Dogs of Tucson.
Our daycare services are perfect for pet pawrents who work long hours or don’t have a large yard for their dogs to enjoy. We provide a safe, secure space complete with large play yards for your pup to explore.
There are many things to consider when choosing a company that will take care of your dog and all their needs. Trust is a critical factor that should be at the top of every pet pawrent’s mind.
We are passionate about providing a safe and healthy environment for dogs, and we strive to make sure their experience with us is nothing less than exceptional. Our top-notch doggie daycare facility is staffed with experienced and knowledgeable professionals who can provide your pup with the best care possible!
Daycare includes supervised fun in a friendly, safe, and sanitary place with plenty of room for dogs to spread out and play. Doggie daycare is also a great way for your dog to interact with other dogs when they can’t enjoy The Bark Park with you!
