House Sitting in Islamorada

About: Friends and family have relied on me to be their pet sitter for the past ten years. I work a full time job as well as a student. Extremely flexible work schedule and I live a quiet laidback lifestyle. My weekends and Friday nights are always free. I love filling my free time with physical activities so walks are great to me! Safety is my top priority, which is why I never leave pets unsupervised while outdoors, even in a fenced in yard. On walks, I am hyper vigilant about my surroundings

“Diana did a great job with my elderly dog. She was gentle and calm and knew how to make my dog comfortable while I was gone. It’s such a relief to find somebody I could trust, especially when your dog is aging and not doing as well.”

“Abi was great! She watched our home, our two kitties, and our 10 month old puppy for an entire week, no small feat! And she managed everything like a pro. She sent pics every day, kept us updated on how they were doing, and did little extra things as they came up. I made a pretty long care sheet for everything and left it on the counter and she followed it to the letter. We will definitely be reaching out the next time we have to go out of town!”

“Elizabeth was wonderful 🤩 she sent pictures and messages letting me know everything was all good at home. It gave me peace of mind so i could enjoy my trip. Thank you Beth Luv, Belle, Jax, Gary and Tara”

About: I love animals. I grew up with cats and have had both cats and dogs in adulthood. I am experienced with many training styles including clicker training and positive reinforcement techniques. I work from home and get out for walks three times a day— hanging with your dog is a bonus! I also have total flexibility and can visit as much as needed. I have a safe environment and am present at almost all times. I will keep your dogs with me, and check in as often as you like.

About: I've grown up in a household with dogs and cats, parakeets and fish, guinnea pigs and chickens. I've rode horses, cared for pigs, and herded cows. I live in a housing situation where I can't have a pet so I'm looking to care for yours! I'm an avid runner so I can take your dog/s on runs if walking doesn't seem to do enough for your pup. I know some trails in the area and have an SUV to transport and take your pup somewhere new. I have experience caring for senior animals too, having a cat that lived to 17 years old myself. Previously cared for my family's dogs and cats, my sister's dog, and my neighbors' pets. I used to have a roommate with a German Shepherd and would take him to the dog beach to play fetch. He could't handle asphalt due to achy joints and the sand was much more gentle. I just moved to the Big Island and live in Kona, so even if you are here for a short vacation and need someone to watch your pet, I'm close to downtown. I currently have a very open schedule, I am starting school online so I have a lot of availability. Although I cannot host your fur baby at my home, I can travel to yours. This is a great stress free way to housesit your pet because they get to stay in a familiar place they feel comfy. If you need your pup out of the house for a couple hours, I have an SUV and a clean CDL license to take your dog for a walk. I would like to make pet care my full time job. I listen to what you need and work around that. Animals generally like their usual routines so I will keep to your schedule as possible. I do have an almost 2 year old, so I need a window mid day for nap time. Keeping pets in their own home is the most comfortable for the animal I believe. I can’t replace you, but I can bond with play if that is your animal’s style, some petting and belly rubs, a preferred treat. You are the expert, I’ll use your suggestions as to what makes your pet the most comfortable.

“Elizabeth was great. She communicated well, even confirming her visit the night before. Was on time and everything went smoothly. Highly recommended.”

“We had four young golden retrievers in our daughter’s wedding. Kyle did a fantastic job helping us watch them during the wedding and taking care of them for the night during the reception. We will definitely book again when returning to Key Largo, Thank you for keeping our babies happy and safe Kyle!”

“Gabrielle went out of her way to learn and accommodate Luca’s routine. We can tell he appreciated it, because he was relaxed and happy when we got home. Thank you so much!!”

Emily R.

“Katie was great. The animals were very well cared for. We will definitely use her again!”

“Jonathan was fantastic. Great communication before and during the stay, and everything was handled perfectly. Highly recommended.”

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.

“I can highly recommend Kristin! She cared for my 16 year old, deaf, blind in one eye Boston Terrier. She requires 4 sets of eye drops 3 times daily, plus oral medications. Kristin was in my home for 9 days. She communicated daily by texts with photos included. I was able to enjoy 9 days of vacation knowing my home and most importantly my fur baby was being cared for as I would. I will be using Kristin in the future and I would recommend to all my friends and family!”

About: I have had pets and cared for them my whole life. Have always enjoyed the love they bring into a home and giving that love back to them. I raised and trained my German Shepard. I have cat sit and walked my dog in various different environments. I work as a RN three days a week. My schedule is different every week but I have flexible availability. I work every other weekend. I walked my Dog 4 times a day around my neighborhood. She is fed twice a day. Both my cats are indoor cats who also get fed twice a day.

About: Hi! My name is Albert Hernandez! I'd be taking your furry friend for multiple walks a day and feeding them according to the schedule you give me. I've had dogs my entire life, and I even grew up on a farm! (we had six dogs!) I love dogs and really appreciate having them as company. I'm currently a full time student, with all of my classes being online, so I have plenty of time to take special care of your family friend. It is a pleasure to be able to take care of your fur babies and making sure they truly enjoy their stay away from home. From years of experience my girlfriend and I know how to make sure your pup feels at home.

About: I love all animals. They are my true passion. I have always had pets including dogs, cats, parrots, horses and reptiles. I have managed several pet stores and worked with a veterinarian. I have also worked in a dog kennel with Airedale show dogs. I am a middle aged, loving, super responsible adult. I am semi retired and run an online website from my house. I also voulenteer for a local rescue and a bulldog rescue. My schedule is extremely flexible. You will not find a bigger more responsible pet lover to take care of your fur babies. I will text you and send pictures every day to let you know how your babies are doing. I LOVE ANIMALS ❤️❤️

About: I've never not had at least one dog or cat growing up. Experience with caring for many types of dogs and cats within all ages and sizes. I am currently working as a freelancer so I have plenty of time to care for your pets on which ever days and times you need. I can easily crate dogs if needed. Can follow a set feeding schedule or free feed pets. I am used to having high energy dogs and cats that want to play all the time so can definitely entertain them with lots of toys, walks and company.

“Alicia connected extremely well with our dog and took great care of him while we left town for the weekend. She was able to administer medicine successfully. She also communicated with us throughout the weekend, sending pictures and updates of how much fun they were having. She stayed the weekend to give our elderly dog extra support and took great care of the house by cleaning up after herself. We are thankful that we met and found someone who is respectful and cares so much for our dog.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life (29yrs old). I have helped countless families and friends take care of and train their pets. I am an animal lover to my core; your pet will always be in safe hands when in my care. I DO NOT PROVIDE SERVICES FOR PET OWNERS NORTH OF THE FLORIDA KEYS. I am exclusive to the Florida Keys and can provide services from Marathon to Key Largo. As a retired Air Force veteran, I have a lot of time on my hands. I am available Monday through Sunday at any time needed. I am here for your pet! I can crate your animals if needed, take them on walks, let them play outside (if you have a backyard), and I will give any amount of love and stimulation to the pets if they want it. I can follow any diets or diet restrictions that your pet may be on. I can also tend to disabled animals as well. Anything that you and your pets may need to feel the most comfortable.

About: I’m a huge animal lover and the type of person who will absolutely stop to say hi to every dog I pass. I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while their owners are away. I’ve been watching dogs and cats for years for friends, family, referrals, and people I’ve met along the way, and I genuinely enjoy every minute of it. Growing up, my family helped with dog rescues — and still do today — so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. From energetic puppies to senior pets, I love getting to know every pet’s unique personality. I work a hybrid remote schedule, which gives me a flexible routine and allows me to spend quality time with your pet throughout the day. That means more walks, more playtime, more potty breaks, more attention, and of course… plenty of belly rubs and treats (if allowed 😄). I also have experience with longer-term care and have watched pets for entire summers (up to 3 months at a time), so I understand how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away and make sure they are happy, loved, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of the family. I know leaving your pet with someone is a big deal, and I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone you can genuinely feel comfortable trusting with your pet. I would be so excited and grateful for the opportunity to meet you and your pet 🐶🐱. I work from home remotely a lot and am able to take full care of your pets on the weekends and most weekdays. It is a hobby/job for me because I love animals so much! I treat everyone’s pets like my own. Growing up, I had cats, dogs, horses, and every animal you could think of. I would love to have an animal now of my own, but I travel often!
