Meet Our Team

Tracy Zipay, CPPS, FFCP, CPS-DW

Founder

A life-long pet owner and foster mom, Tracy started The Pawsitive Pets Sitter / Yesspet Pet Care after the passing of her "foster fail" companion of 15 years, Cami. Her goal is to provide loving, reliable, premium and professional pet care to her community. Tracy holds all certifications noted above, as well as the coveted CPPS (Certified Professional Pet Sitter) designation via Pet Sitters International. She carefully chooses and trains her team to the highest industry standards, and is recognized as an industry leader in professionalism. Tracy was involved in the AKC Labrador Retriever show/field world, a Certified Maricopa County 4-H Leader, and a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA).

Taylor, FFCP, CPS-DW

Director of Enrichment

Taylor grew up loving animals and has been around animals of all kinds. She learned to respect their unique needs, temperaments and personalities through pet sitting, animal ownership as a kid, and being involved/fostering with the Arizona Humane Society. She applied that interest in the living world to a BA in Molecular Biology and Chemistry. Now Taylor uses her attention to detail, understanding of science, and dedication to Fear Free™ principles to provide the highest levels of care.

Julie brings a lifetime of service and compassion to her work.

Brooke, FFCP, CPS-DW

Pet Care Specialist

As a lifelong pet owner, Brooke understands firsthand the deep bond between pets and their people.
