About: Foster dog dad and long time board member of Marrvelous Pet Rescues (Key Largo). 25+ years of dog care experience. I will treat your furry family member as one of my own! I have lead “pack-walks”, “yappy-hours”, and training events with the rescue. I have successfully fostered and rehabbed dozens of dogs, including aggressive, and anxiety prone dogs. Comfortable with puppies-senior dogs as well as administering medications of all types. I have also completed many group and individual training courses. I have recently started working from home with an incredibly flexible schedule which allows me to be available any time day or night. Scheduled visits as well as last minute requests are easily accommodated. I care for your pet however you want! I will ensure your current schedules, routines, and training regimens are continued in your absence. From crate training to free roaming beach dogs I am flexible and comfortable with almost any request.
About: I have been a dog owner for my entire life. I have pet sat for dogs of many ages and needs. I have fostered puppies and even adopted a dog! I am currently not employed full time so I have plenty of time to hangout with your pet! Occasionally I nanny or am gone but rarely! I live in an apartment currently and have a clean space, I can also sit in your home if preferred! I have a big living room!
“Vicmarie was by far the best dog sitter! She took Ellie to the park multiple times during her stay, kept me updated with lots of pictures, and had great communication throughout Ellie’s whole stay! She accepted my request very last minute and even let me extend Ellie’s stay a couple days! I highly recommend Vicmarie for taking great care of your pet!”
“My experience with Glennis was great. She watched both of my dogs for 4 nights. One of my dogs is a puppy and she was very understanding of puppy messes. She sent me photos of them and checked me in regularly. I had a delay at the airport and she was flexible enough to be able to hold on to them an extra night. Her roommates are also there regularly to watch them which made me feel even better. I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have grown in a farm rounded by dogs and cats and a I love to train, walked and groom dogs and cats. My wife is also a cat and dog lover and we are a great team taking care of pets. My job allows me to be 24/7 being with the pets I am sitting. I can start at 6 am and receive pets until 11 pm. I have a fenced yard to let dogs play and just crossing the street there is a great pet store that provide us all we can need.
“Patricia is amazing giving me many updates and communication was ideal. Dogs are so happy with her there now I can rest at ease knowing my dogs will be taken care of when I go on a trip!”
About: I've had many pets over the course of my life. I'm the one who stops to rescue animals, and I've also been a foster parent and foster failure for Marrvelous Pet Rescue in the Keys. This is one of the few times in my life that I've been without a pet in my house due to the passing of my two terriers over the last several years. The house feels way too quiet without them, but I'm not ready to jump into adopting yet. I'm retired, so aside from running errands, walking (pets are welcome to join me), and pursuing hobbies, I'm available day and night to shower your pet with attention. My two terriers passed away in the last several years, so our home is pet-free after a lifetime of being a dog mom. I'm not ready to adopt again yet, so I welcome the opportunity to spend time with your fur baby. You can be certain that they will be showered with attention. I'm also an empty nester, so my home is very quiet now that it's without kids or pets. I have a fully fenced yard and a walking-friendly neighborhood. My dogs lived to be elderly, so I'm very familiar with the slower pace of older pups, and my house is one level to accommodate any mobility issues. I love the energy of younger dogs as well!
About: My name is Gunnar. I’ve been a local since 2002. I’m hoping to fill some spare time and save some money by offering pet and house sitting services from key largo to key west. I am very accommodating and flexible with my hours. I do work a full time job but am completely available outside of those hours (7-3) I have grown up with many animals but mostly larger breed dogs and cats. I also assist with fostering for Marrvelous pet rescue out of Key Largo. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you! I work in marathon daily from seven in the morning to three in the afternoon. I am off on weekends and can offer my help all day then. I live in a duplex but have a small fenced in yard (not suitable for runners) and I am on a canal. Please let me know if your dog needs extra supervision around water.
About: I have raised puppies and kittens, handled horses, and been a pet sitter for over 7 years now. I have administered medication and keep pets on their potty and feeding schedules. I work mostly from home. I am able to come walk/feed/play with your animals during my lunch hour, I take my own dog out every 1-2 hours and my employer is very kind and would always allow me to leave in an emergency. I believe in fun play time, and long walks and am able to abide by any schedule the owners would like to keep for their pets.
About: I have home with fenced in clean yard. I am good with training and gentle with puppies and senior doggies. Lots of love!! Clean home! I am retired stay home and have plenty of time for caring for little dogs. I keep my home and yard very clean and give doggies love and attention. I live one story home no stairs to climb. I have one small dog and a senior cat of my own that get along with other dogs.
About: I have cared for pets for as long as I can remember and have always had a loved dog in the house. I also grew up on a farm from around 13 to 18, caring for barn cats, horses, donkeys, chickens, geese, and dogs. My life has always been centered around animals, and even when I went to university, I focused on animal care, attaining an Animal Studies major. I truly have a passion for animals, and would say they have always been a major part of my life. I am currently an intern for Coral Restoration Foundation, so my schedule changes weekly. I am extremely passionate about nature and animals, and I moved to Key Largo with my two babies. I am able to take care of your loved pets either before or after my shifts or on my days off! I have two of my own pups, 5-year-old Corgi and a 10-month-old Cocker Spaniel, who have a big yard to play in. They love to go on walks and car rides with me and are crate-trained. My place is typically in a state of a "puppy playpen" due to their scattered toys. My pups are almost always included in my outting if they can come and are huge part of my day to day life.

Emerald M.
“Emerald has proven time and time again to be very reliable in caring for pets. She cares for her own two dogs and she treats any pet she’s watching as her own as well. Anytime I’ve asked her to watch my dog she has always been on time and gives me daily updates! She knows that time away from your pet calls for reassurance throughout the time apart since she has also grown up with dogs and cats all her life. I would a million percent recommend Emerald if you are looking for a reliable and responsible pet caregiver.”
