We provide the highest quality open-play dog daycare in Tucson. Dogs thrive in an environment that promotes socialization, learning, exercise, and fun. That’s why Dogtopia of Tanque Verde offers so much more than just a place to leave your dog during the day. We live to enrich your dog’s life with our supervised, open-play doggie daycare.


At Dogtopia, your pup will have total freedom to play and make friends in our safe, supervised, off-leash playrooms. We have designed every aspect of our spacious playrooms – from the rubberized floors to the advanced UV air filtration systems – with the goal of creating the safest, cleanest, most fun environment for your dog. Our unique training program ensures our certified Canine Coaches are skilled in maintaining safe play and rewarding good-dog behaviors, while gently discouraging the… not-so-good-dog ones.


Dogtopia of Tanque Verde has meticulously designed its brand-new doggie daycare facility and time-tested operating practices using scientific research and the best available technology.

Unique enrollment model: only dogs enrolled in daycare enjoy access to boarding. This builds the tight-knit pack needed for a safe and educational open-play environment.

Pre-enrollment evaluation process: we ensure all new dogs are well suited to open-play.

Advanced UV-filtered HVAC systems keep the playrooms cool, fresh and clean.

Rigorous cleaning regimes sanitize our playrooms using safe, pet-friendly cleaning products.

Canine Coaches must complete a rigorous training, designed by a canine behaviorist, on dog body language and behavior.

Custom-built software to track nutrition, medication and other specific needs for every dog in our care.

Three large playrooms, separated by size and play style so your dog can play with like-minded pups.

At Dogtopia of Tanque Verde, we are committed to creating the safest, most fun open-play dog daycare possible. We believe that creating a tight-knit pack of consistent playmates is the best way to achieve this and our enrollment model makes this a reality. Just like with child daycare, a consistent group results in better friendships, safer play, more learning, and a drastically lower chance of getting sick (dogs can catch colds too!).

We offer overnight boarding only to dogs enrolled in daycare and encourage regular daycare attendance to ensure that every dog in the playroom is familiar with open-play, is able to find their BFFF (Best Furry Friend Forever), and develops a strong relationship with our certified Canine Coaches.

Come see us to enroll or just to see what we’re about.

Our Dog Daycare is conveniently located in the Colonia Verde shopping center off Tanque Verde Rd, just east of Sabino Canyon Rd.

Passionate. Patient. Persistent. These are just a few of the characteristics that describe me. My dream for years has been to have a balanced and fun dog daycare, I know each animal is different, and I’ll work with yours to give them the specific guidance they need through appropriate socialization and fun!

Is Fido home alone? He doesn't have to be! Imagine the perfect day - it would involve games, snacks and great friends. It would be a day full of fun times with little rest and maybe even a little learning. Playing fetch, water games, bubbles, naptime with soothing music, and learning polite behaviors. is what every dog experiences who goes to Sit! Stay! Play!

Using reward-based methods, we provide effective practical training based on the latest information from learning and behavioral science. We pledge to respect each and every dog and owner by recognizing and responding to their individual needs.

Sometimes dogs need sleepovers too! Because Sit! Stay! Play! is a social environment, overnight services are available for daycare-qualified dogs only. Unlike traditional boarding, our overnight guests play during the day and retire to their air-conditioned and heated kennels at 8:30 p.m. We also offer stuffed Kongs for your dog’s enjoyment!

We have had our dog, Abby, since the day she was old enough to come home. She is now 10 years old and thanks to Janet and her staff at Sit! Stay! Play!, she is the best addition to our home we could ever hope for.

Abby loves Janet and her staff and looked so forward to going to see them every week. We know Abby’s sweet and loving disposition is thanks to Janet and her team. Abby has learned so much at Sit! Stay! Play! You can see it in her confidence with other dogs and people.

It gives us such great joy knowing that Abby is getting everything she needs (and more) while we are at work. Abby is never left alone – there is always a person at her side and she has made plenty of doggie friends. Janet and her staff get to know each and every dog – their needs, likes, etc. and they cater to every one of them!

Simply put – Abby is a wonderful dog thanks largely to Janet and her team. We can’t say enough about all the joy Janet has brought to Abby, us, and our home.

Our three dogs have been going to Sit! Stay! Play! for about 3 years and it has changed their lives and ours as owners. They have learned to socialize and play. They never used to actually play with each other before and now they do and it is so cool to watch. Our 15 year old dachshund, Sophie, just watches from the sidelines (I am not sure just how much she actually participates physically), but Sit! Stay! Play! provides her with a delightful side show and she is thriving at 15.

We, as dog lovers, are thrilled to have a place to send them every Friday to play and socialize, knowing how well they are loved and cared for at Sit! Stay! Play!. Sometimes they even get a report card….which is so cute. When we go away, we have the ability and peace of mind to leave them in a place where they are known and cared for and when we return, they seem not to have missed us at all.

Janet, the owner, and the staff, are so caring. We are blessed to have a place like this to take our beloved pets to enrich their lives.
