Harlee was fantastic. She bordered my dog for 4 nights and sent pictures every day. She clearly loves dogs and I have no hesitation in recommending her services.

I chose Victoria since she had over 200 wonderful reviews. With that being said, she is a pro at the dog sitting business. She has dog bowls and poop bags on hand, keeps a clean blanket on her couch, and has tile in her front room. Downtown location is unique and close to attractions. She was very sweet to our pup and he enjoyed helping her water her backyard garden.

Christy took care of my dog, Lady, over the weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She sent me plenty of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Lady looked so happy and well cared for the entire time. The communication was great, and I truly felt that Lady was in loving hands. I’m very pleased with the service and would absolutely recommend Christy to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter!

About: I’m a long time animal lover! If I see you walking your dog on the street I will most certainly say hello to your dog first! After losing my own good boy after 16 wonderful years, I have a lot of extra love and time to give to yours! Having a familiar, reliable and trustworthy pet sitter is a non-negotiable. I take my responsibility very seriously and will respect your animal and home as if it is my own. I’m available for walks, drops in or boarding. I currently work 4 days a week with flexible hours. I’m available for full time boarding, day time walks or doggy day care Sunday- Mondays. On my work days I’ve available for overnight boarding as my work days have manageable hours. I live in a quiet condominium downtown so all potty breaks require a leashed walk. I don’t have any other animals in the house and have space for a crate if you prefer.

Add took in our black lab Brynlee last minute on our trip to the Keys with no hesitation! She is super down to earth which made it easy to communicate and leave our girl. This was our very 1st time ever using Rover and I was concerned leaving our pup, but we eased up as soon as we met Addi’ I highly recommend her! 🤍

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!

About: Compassionate Care for Every Paw isn't just my vision; it's my mission statement and belief because your Dog deserves the best. I am a dog lover by nature, having grown up in my later years with a Springer Spinal named Bailey in my late teens and college years. Whether it was playing with Bailey in our yard, taking him on walks, holding/laying down next to him, loving him by giving him proper attention and pets, or simply letting Bailey relax and chill by my side meant the world to me. While Bailey wasn't allowed on furniture in my family's home, he loved to cuddle by my legs/feet and would happily sit on my lap so we could watch TV together; and a lot of nights (Bailey could chose between his brother, sisters, and parents rooms once he was a little older); he even enjoyed sharing my room whether it was in my bed or by my bedside. Bailey and I favorite play moments included throwing and retrieving balls together, our tug of war games and playing with all of his favorite toys together. We were always super excited to see each other and would greet each other with hugs, pets, and joy. Here in Key West, I have found a home and meant a smaller older dog named Jake, who had a playful spirit at heart, allowing fun times playing tug of war. Jake loved toys including chew toys, especially squeaky toys and we simply enjoyed a chilled and relaxed time together as he was an older dog. Jake loved the walks around the Los Salinas grounds here in Key West. Jake was an older dog; so he loved just relaxing with me and my family, however, Bailey and Jake's time eventually came to move on to doggy heaven, and I miss them a bunch. It would be an honor and pleasure to assist in caring for your beloved family member and pet. I only ask for a week notice because I want to make sure I use my off days from my full time job to ensure proper care for your dog; as I get my schedule, I will update my availability as well to take more last minute appointments. I generally work 4 days a week; and work from home the other 3 days, so my schedule is completely open/adjustable on my off days. For me, when I am at your home, I will treat your home with the upmost respect. I will ensure that the dogs have the proper attention and go on any needed walks, potty breaks, etc. I can have fun with the high energy dogs as well as the low energy dogs, and will give the proper attention to whatever activity/energy level the dog needs.
