Tisha King’s Lifelong Love for Animals

Tisha’s journey into pet care started early. “I wanted to be a veterinarian since I was a young child,” she shares. From internships at the Bronx Zoo to her role as an assistant manager at Petco, she’s always found joy working alongside animals. Life may have taken her in different directions, but when she joined Dogtopia, Tisha knew she found her place.

“Working with the dogs gives me energy. Even on tough days, looking into their eyes makes me smile.”

A Day with Tisha King at Dogtopia

As the Dual Manager of Dogtopia of Tysons Corner, Tisha King wears many hats—but her most important role is being the heart of the center. From supporting pet parents and mentoring her team to overseeing safety and daily operations, Tisha ensures that every dog is treated with the care and attention they deserve.

“Every pup that walks through our doors is more than just a guest—they’re part of our family.”

Her mornings often begin with greeting pet parents by name and welcoming dogs who are eager to start their day. Throughout the day, she checks in on the playrooms, supports her team of canine coaches, and ensures every dog has a safe and stimulating environment. Whether it’s helping a nervous newcomer adjust or calming the room with her presence, Tisha brings a sense of calm and confidence to every situation.

And the best part of her day? “When a dog runs through the door, tail wagging, ready to see their BFFF (Best Furry Friend Forever)—that moment reminds me why I do what I do.”

Why Tisha King Makes Dogtopia of tysons CORNER Unique

At Dogtopia of Tysons Corner, daycare is more than a service—it’s an experience grounded in trust, empathy, and excellence.

Tisha believes the secret lies in empowerment. She explains, “Pet parents bring their dogs here because they want them to feel happy, socialized, and loved. It’s up to us to earn that trust every single day.”

That’s why Tisha and her team go above and beyond—offering personalized tours, sharing updates, and remembering each dog’s quirks and preferences. “We learn their names, their personalities, even their favorite toys. We make every effort to let pet parents know: your dog matters to us.”

This attention to detail builds the deep connection Dogtopia of Tysons Corner is known for—one that turns first-time visitors into lifelong regulars.

Tisha King’s Journey to Leading Dogtopia

Tisha’s dedication to animals isn’t just professional—it’s deeply personal. She’s the proud dog mom to Thor, her 8-year-old Rottweiler rescue. “Thor came into my life after years of abuse from his previous owners. I thought I was saving him, but in truth—he saved me too.”

She speaks of Thor with a warmth that’s impossible to miss. “He’s more than a pet. He’s my emotional support, my shadow, and my biggest cheerleader on tough days. When I felt alone, he reminded me I wasn’t.”

This personal experience with rescue and rehabilitation has shaped how Tisha leads. She brings empathy, patience, and understanding into every interaction—with dogs and humans alike.

And if a dog could describe her in three words? Tisha smiles and answers without hesitation:

“Strong. Determined. Eager.”

Tisha King’s Advice for New Pet Parents at Dogtopia of TYSONs CORNER

For families new to daycare, Tisha offers practical and thoughtful advice: consistency is key.

“Give your pup the time and space to adjust. Try to bring them at least three times a week at first—just like people, dogs need time to build comfort and friendships.”

New environments can feel overwhelming for dogs, especially those who’ve only known home life. But with consistent visits, dogs quickly associate Dogtopia with play, companionship, and love. Tisha and her team are there every step of the way, making sure both pet and parent feel at ease.

“We want every visit to feel like a special day. This isn’t just daycare—it’s their second home.”
