Pet Sitting Big Pine Key

“I had a great experience with David while he watched my dog, Marleigh. He was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Marleigh’s comfort and routine. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It’s obvious he truly enjoys working with animals, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust him with Marleigh again. Highly recommend!”

About: Lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for puppies through senior dogs. I’ve helped rescue and rehome dogs, so I’m confident working with different needs and personalities. Attentive, active, and consistent with care. I work from home full-time, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I can easily schedule walks, playtime, and feedings, and my fenced yard allows for safe outdoor time. I keep a clean, safe, and calm environment in my home. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, respect your space, and make sure your pet stays on their normal routine. I’m reliable and detail-oriented.

“Grace did a great job with our dog, Avery. We met her to drop off keys prior and she was on time and very friendly and nice. She took good care of our Avery and we'd highly recommend her to others.”

“Tina took care of my two cats after a friend recommended her. Not only did she do everything I asked her to do she really took time to learn their personalities and befriend them. She was trustworthy, responsible and dependable. My first experience with Rover too and I was impressed and would recommend both Tina and Rover.”

“Marti came over the day before to get acquainted with the dogs and for us to meet her and what we needed for the dogs . The next day she came over twice to take the dogs out and visit with them. Over all we and the dogs had a very good experience.”

About: Hi, I’m Amy! I grew up right here in the Florida Keys, where I work as a local artist. I have always had a big soft spot for dogs. When I am not creating art, I bring that same energy, patience, and care to dog sitting. I offer dog walking, drop in visits, and overnight stays to keep your pup happy and active. One of my favorite dogs I have ever cared for is Tiki, a pool loving Jack Russell! Staying active and keeping dogs cool and well hydrated in the Keys heat is a huge priority for me. Whether your dog needs a fun, energetic walk or just plenty of play time and yard games, I am here to make sure they feel loved and safe. You can always count on clear updates and lots of photos while you are away. I can not wait to meet your dog! I work part time as an artist, which gives me a very flexible routine throughout the week. Because my schedule is open, I can easily fit in morning walks, midday drop in visits, and evening care. Pet sitting is a top priority for me, so your dogs and cats get dedicated time, attention, and care right when they need it. When caring for pets in your home, safety and routine come first. I strictly follow your instructions for feeding, play, and house rules. I always double check that doors and gates are secure, keep your space clean, and send frequent updates. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, calm, and happy in their familiar environment.

“Halle was amazing! She took such good care of our two cats while we were away, we loved getting daily pictures of them playing and having fun. This was the longest we’d left them for a trip but we weren’t worried at all since Halle kept us updated on them all the time! We will absolutely have her come hang out with them again next time we go out of town”

“Kaytee was wonderful with Wally! She took him for a great walk and he was happy and tired when he got home. Kaytee was really good with communication and sent pictures of her visit with Wally. We would absolutely recommend her and when we visit the Keys again, we will definitely book her! Thank you, Kaytee!”

About: Finding good, trustworthy, affordable care for your pets in the Keys can be challenging. Our family struggled for years to find a pet sitter and dog walker we could trust. So when I finally retired, I wanted to be able to do for others what I wish I could find for my family. I absolutely adore dogs and cats and have cared for my own (plus too many fosters to count) for over 30 years. I volunteer for several pet rescues and my husband and I have set up our family run 501c3 rescue transport with a dream of starting our own dog sanctuary someday. I am extremely active and one of my true joys is dog walking and outdoor playtime so rest assured your dogs will get plenty of exercise (if that’s what you’d like). I am retired and have an extremely flexible schedule so whether it’s just a single mid day walk or 3-4x a day visits while you’re on vacation, I can be there. I have a great deal of experience in special needs (I have 3 myself) and elderly dogs and cats and treat them with special patience and understanding. I have experience with puppies and their challenges and I have an impressive understanding of breed and behaviors. Rest assured that I will treat your pets with respect, kindness, love and affection while also adhering to the structure and rules that you have for your pets. Please feel free to message me with any questions or if you’d like to set up a meet and greet. I look forward to meeting lots of new dogs friends. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule. I primarily pet sit in the Lower Keys but am also available for Key West for dog walking. I have a large fenced yard which opens into a park for playtime. We also have a doggie door and large porch for sunning and watching the neighborhood. I take my dogs on 2-3 walks a day along a little traveled area near our home.

“Katherine was awesome! She was very timely, communicative, and flexible (our schedule changed a lot…) She’s got great experience and a great attitude!”

About: Hi! I’ve been around pets for over 20 years, ever since I lived in Mexico, so I truly understand how much they mean to us—they’re part of the family. I’ve always loved being around animals, caring for them, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I have a home with a fully fenced yard, which is perfect for dogs to play, explore, and enjoy themselves safely. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Happy to help your dog to be health and socialized more. Im available monday - friday 4-7pm Tuesday and thursday 8-10am, im gonna make sure your dog receives the best care possible. I have a fenced big yard and a cute almost 3y lil boy that also loves dogs to play with. If you dont have time I can walk your dog around our neighboor hood

About: I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely treat every pet like my own! I’m great with puppies; routine, training basics, and gentle structure. I’m equally comfortable caring for seniors who need extra calm and comfort. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, so you can trust your pet is safe, understood, and truly cared for!! This isn’t just a job to me; I love creating a happy, peaceful experience for every animal I meet! I am working part time, so I am flexible to fit the timing and needs of you and your pets! Weekdays are the best bet for me, weekends can be a little tricky! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m in yours, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment! I follow your routines closely; feeding times, walks, potty breaks, cues, and any training you’re working on! Your pet will feel safe with me! In your home, I keep things tidy, respect your space, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles of course! When it comes to sitting in my own home, I have a golden puppy, under a year; also a cat, so sitting in my clients home would be my best option!
