We Provide Dog Walking Services for Tucson and Surrounding Areas 

Absolutely! We book a required 15- to 30-minute meet-and-greet with all new clients so we can meet you and learn your pet’s routine and favorite things. Your trust, comfort and confidence are important to us, along with your pet’s trust, happiness and care. A happy, safe pet = a happy, relaxed you!

Because we care for many pets in a day, we cannot guarantee exact times unless previously discussed. We request two-hour windows in which you would like service provided. Exceptions can be made for pets with dietary or medical needs (to be discussed during your meet-and-greet).

For the safety of our pack leaders and the pets in our care, we require updated health records as well as rabies and DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus and Parainfluenza) vaccinations.

Bookings are based on availability so we recommend booking as soon as you know you need a service. If availability allows, we accept last-minute bookings for an additional fee. We require payment at the time of booking. Full payment secures your booking on our calendar!

Pura Vida Pet Care is committed to providing excellent service to our clients. When a client cancels, it results in missed opportunities for your reserved pet sitter and other pets and leaves gaps in our schedules. For this reason, we strictly enforce our cancellation policy: Pet Sitting, Dog Walking, and Pet Concierge Services: 48 hours or more before reservation begins = 100% refund 24-47 hours before reservation begins = 50% refund Less than 24 hours before reservation begins = no refund Holiday and Overnight Services: 10 days or more before reservation begins = 100% refund 5-9 days or more before reservation begins = 50% refund Less than 5 days before reservation begins = no refund Wedding and Event Attendant Services: 28 days or more before reservation begins = 100% refund 21-27 days before reservation begins = 75% refund 14-20 days before reservation begins = 50% refund 7-13 days before reservation begins = 25% refund Less than 7 days before reservation begins = no refund

Not unless you request a pack walk or adventure hike. Otherwise, your pup is getting one-on-one time, which means ALL the love and attention! We do not allow dogs to go off-leash while walking or interact with other dogs or people during their walks.

We always take everyone’s health, safety and happiness into consideration! Weather adjustments will be made during high-temp days (above 90º during daytime hours). We will only keep your pet outside long enough for a quick walk and potty relief. Any remaining time will be spent inside with lots of play, mental exercise, attention, and belly/head rubs.

We love pets of all ages, sizes and needs. Please ask how we can help provide the safest, most comfortable experience for your pet. If we are unable to help, we will always be up-front and honest because everyone’s health, happiness and safety are top priority. Unfortunately at this time we cannot accept untrained dogs who have a history of biting or aggression. However, feel free to ask us for some recommendations on great trainers who can work with your pup to help get them safely prepared for the Pura Vida Pack!

All bookings are made through our secure scheduling software, Time to Pet, and we accept Zelle, Apple Pay, Venmo, and all major credit and debit cards.

You are welcome to reward your walker for a job well done by leaving a tip in person or through the online invoicing software. Tipping is a thoughtful gesture for rewarding excellent service and is greatly appreciated!

We sure do. We appreciate your referrals, which is why, if you refer a family, friend, neighbor or coworker who books, you’ll receive a FREE 30-minute stop-in or walk up to a $25 value.

Feedback is encouraged and appreciated! This is why after every visit, you will receive a survey to tell us about your experience. We pride ourselves on a 5-star service and always ask for the opportunity to make things right!
