Who We Are
Wags and Whiskers is a team of animal lovers, dedicated to providing top-notch care and services to your beloved pets. We are Michael and Carin, a brother-and-sister duo, both native Phoenicians, who have grown up surrounded by a menagerie of animals. Our passion for animals began at a young age, and we've spent a lifetime learning and caring for a wide range of pets. From hamsters to horses, we've worked with it all.
