Pet Sitting Islands

About: My dad has bred and rescued large dogs all his life, and in doing so taught me how to handle, respect, and love every dog i’ve met. I am a student living in South Beach who loves being active, so I am looking to going on long walks to the park while getting to know your pooch! I am generally available all week until the fall semester, while currently I work weekends. I am very flexible and looking to work with other people on South Beach, meaning I will always be a text away. While I do not offer boarding services, I can ensure I will treat every client's space with nothing but respect, ensuring that your dog will be safe and sound upon your return.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I currently have a sweet Lab and a black cat I rescued after finding her in a box as a stray, she’s now happy, healthy, and thriving. For the past 5+ years, I’ve cared for pets of all kinds, helping families feel at ease while they’re away. Whether it’s a high energy dog, a shy rescue, or a senior pet with special needs, I’m calm, confident, and patient. I treat every pet like my own with love, safety, and a lot of attention. You can count on me to keep your pets happy and cared for like family. I’m currently focused full time on pet care, so I’m very flexible for drop in visits, dog walking, or house sitting. I’m available on weekdays any time and most weekends. I’ll make sure your pets are loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! I care for pets in their own homes where they feel most comfortable and safe. I follow all routines closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I’m respectful of your space, reliable with instructions, and always make sure your pet feels calm, cared for, and not alone while you’re away.

About: As a pet care provider with one year of experience, I have gained a solid understanding of what it takes to keep furry friends healthy and happy. In my previous role, I provided daily care for dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playing, administering medications, and providing companionship. I have a deep love for animals, and I always make sure to treat each pet with the care and attention they deserve. I understand that each animal has their own unique personality and needs, and I take the time to get to know each one individually to provide personalized care. I am comfortable handling pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I prioritize their safety at all times. I also have experience working with pet owners to ensure that their pets receive the care they need and that their expectations are met. In addition to my pet care skills, I am reliable, responsible, and trustworthy. I understand that pet owners put a great deal of trust in their pet care providers, and I take this responsibility seriously. With my experience and passion for animals, I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional pet care services. I am currently working full time but I have work from home days on Friday, as well as, free time after work and on weekends. As a pet care provider who takes care of pets at their owners' homes, I understand how important it is to provide high-quality and personalized care to each pet. Here's how I typically care for people's pets at their homes: Initial Consultation: Before starting the pet care services, I schedule an initial consultation with the pet owner to understand the pet's routine, habits, and preferences. I ask questions to get a better understanding of their pet's personality, likes, dislikes, and health status to provide tailored care. Feeding and Watering: I follow the pet owner's feeding and watering instructions and ensure that their pets have fresh water and food at all times. If the pet has any specific dietary needs or restrictions, I make sure to adhere to them. Exercise and Playtime: I provide exercise and playtime as per the pet owner's instructions. I take the pets for walks or play with them in the yard, depending on the pet's needs and preferences. I also ensure that the pets get enough physical activity and stimulation to keep them healthy and happy. Medication: If the pet requires medication, I make sure to follow the instructions provided by the pet owner. I administer the medication at the prescribed times and monitor the pet's condition to ensure that they are responding well to the medication. Clean-up and Maintenance: I clean up any messes that the pet may have made, such as spills, accidents, or litter boxes. I also make sure to keep the pet's area clean and tidy and dispose of any waste appropriately. Communication: Throughout the pet care services, I keep the pet owner informed about their pet's well-being and provide updates regularly. I also communicate with the pet owner to let them know if any issues arise. In summary, I take the responsibility of pet care seriously and provide personalized care to each pet at their home. My goal is to make sure that the pets are happy, healthy, and safe in their own environment.

About: With 13 years of experience caring for my pup Lilo, who requires special attention due to a severe heart condition, I understand the needs of older dogs and dogs on special medication or diets. I've also taken care of several other breeds including Golden Doodles, Huskies, American Bulldogs, German Shepherds, Chocolate Labs, Frenchies and more. My expertise extends to handling reactivity, managing hyperactive pups, and positively reinforcing or correcting behaviors to ensure a happy, balanced dog. I'm here to provide the same level of care and love to your dogs that I do my own :) Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I currently make my own schedule so I can schedule my time around your pet's needs, whether it’s walking, feeding, or simply enjoying quality time with them. Weekly, I dedicate time for grooming, playtime, and reinforcing a commitment to their happiness and health. At home, I provide a secure and loving environment for Lilo, with a fenced yard and pool for safe play and relaxation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their rules and routines, ensuring that their pets feel comfortable and secure. I adapt to their specific needs, maintaining a safe environment while providing the same level of attention and care.

Just Good Enough

About: I had two dogs myself and with them i’ve grown and learned so much. Since they were old I’ve become an expert at administering medication and being beyond patient when it comes to them. I now have a 6 month kitten named Tiger. I’ve dealt with pets in their kitten/pup phase, their middle aged phase and their senior phase. I’m well equipped to handle any cat or dog! I’m free during the week which allows me to spend time with any pet that im pet sitting. Allows me to provide the best care possible. Between the apartment complexes theres a yard that the dogs could run around in. I also live a 10 minute way away from a dog park.

About: Hey, I know choosing someone to watch your fur-babies can be very hard as you always want someone that will take good care of them. I’m here to help. Well, a little about me is that I have two furbabies myself, a turtle and a hedgehog so I understand how important it is to find someone to truly take care of them and treat them well. I love dogs and all animals really! I’m here to help, as I eventually want to become a vet tech! If you choose me to take care of your fur-babies I can promise to dedicate my time to playing and taking care of them. As for previous experience I used to regularly volunteer at the shelter and take care of animals for family and friends. I look forward to meeting you and your furry best friend.💗 I am currently taking some online classes at home and I would be available all week to play, walk and take care of your babies! Personally I have two doggos, one (mini schnauzer) and an American bulldog. Both are super good girls and they are free roaming the house most of the time, however they are crated when need be.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats all of my life. I have boarded many fur babies at my home, and I help feed and find homes for stray cats. I am also very good with any special needs. I am currently working remotely part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your puppers or kitties. I am very flexible with weekdays, nights and weekends. I have a secure fenced-in yard with a pool to cool off. I have 2 friendly dogs to play with, or we can crate if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, snakes, etc. my whole life since I was a little girl. I love and care for animals as if they were babies. Animals bring me so much joy so I enjoy what I do.

I work a schedule where it is more for you on weekdays and weekends (Monday through Sunday) the earliest I would be able to start is 7am. I am also available to do overnights. I spend most of my time with my dogs and cats when I am home. I take them for walks play with them through out the day, lay down and watch movies, make sure they're fed, and make sure they get the daily love and attention they require.

About: For over 20 years, I've had the joy of caring for all kinds of pets, from the smallest pups to the largest and most energetic dogs. While I don't have pets of my own currently, I have plenty of time and affection to give your fur-babies. They'll enjoy a welcoming stay with plenty of space to play in my fully fenced backyard, which features both a grassy and concrete area. Inside, there's a spacious, comfortable environment for them to relax and feel right at home. I am a work-from-home professional, which allows me to be present for your pets throughout the afternoon. I have a large, fenced yard and ample indoor space, so they'll get plenty of attention and exercise while with me. My home is currently pet-free, so your pet will have my full attention during their stay. We have a fenced backyard with both concrete and grassy areas, offering plenty of space for fun. Your fur-baby will have a comfortable and welcoming environment, both indoors and out.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 4 and I’ve always been connected to them. I started pet sitting for dogs and cats 7 years ago. I love all animals and give them consistent attention and affection when I am caring for them. I also take care to follow any instructions given and needs the animal may have. I am a fabulosa communicator and always send daily check ins! I also have several references I can share along with the reviews here. I make my own schedule and work around 8 hours per week so I am open for animals who need a lot of attention and care and flexible with last minute needs. I care for pets in my clients homes (or mine) according to their needs and specifications. I also treat pets like family so animals with anxiety or higher needs do very well with me.

“Annabella is absolutely wonderful! Our third time using her services, and every time she has taken such great care of our geriatric kittie, Willow, and put our minds at ease. Would highly recommend!”

About: New Clients: All dogs regardless of sex must submit valid rabies certificate/documentation before they will be approved (Miami Dade county law requires all dogs over 4 months to have rabies vaccine), any dog regardless of sex that is not fully UTD (including bordetella) will be automatically declined. All male dogs must also submit documentation proving they are neutered for approval. Unneutered Male dogs will be automatically declined. No Exceptions!!!!! I've had dogs most of my life since I was 8 years old (currently on dogs #3 and #4). I'm a natural with dogs (some say I'm a dog whisperer) and love them so much (I love giving belly rubs). I own two Siberian Husky that are well cared for so they are my references. Services offered: My house: Boarding, Walking, Grooming (Bath, Blow, Dry, and Nail Clipping only, No Haircuts/Shaving or Teeth Cleaning). Takes me about an hour to groom and dry each of my dogs using professional grooming equipment (Grooming is extra). Note: Boarding, Day Care, Walking, Dog Park and Grooming are all seperate services, so each has their own separate charge. If you want Walking, Dog Park, or Grooming Services it must be paid for on top of the Boarding/Day Care rate or service will not be performed. Drop Off / Pickup rate is for the first 10 miles from my house. Each additional mile is an additional $2.00 per mile (rounded up). there's 4 trips involved to pickup and dropoff as it is 2 round trips. For example if your address is 10 miles from me that means I have to drive 40 miles in total to pickup and dropoff your pooch so your total pickup/drop off rate would be $85 ($25 for the first 10 miles + $60 for the remaining 30 miles). Total Distance is determined by the fastest route during rush hour traffic on the day of booking request. Owner is responsible for all tolls for pickup/dropoff aswell which will be added at the time of booking. Your house: Drop In Visits, Walking My property is 6,240 sq.ft so plenty of space for your dog(s) to run around and play. The backyard is Siberian Husky escape proof with concrete all the way around the backyard fence so your dog(s) can't dig or find a way out (unless your dog can jump a 6ft high fence). if your dog is an outdoor dog you can leave him/her in my backyard without any worries of escaping as there are two locked gates in the backyard and I'm the only person who has the key. I specialize in Siberian Husky, if you own Siberian Husky this is the place for your husky with someone who is capable of handling such a special breed. I work full time but my job is very flexible, allows me to work whenever I want and lots of traveling around the city which allows for a quick 15 minute potty break/feeding and go back to work mid-day if I'm near home. Safety is my #1 priority (this is why I require all dogs to submit their valid rabies, UTD, and neutered documentation. When your dog first arrives on the property the first thing I do is introduce your dog to all the dogs on the property to see how your dog responds to each dog. If your dog(s) has problems getting along with other dogs it is my job to find a suitable group for your dog to spend their stay with. In the event your dog cannot find a suitable group then your dog will not interact with the other dogs or groups and will be placed in their own group for the remainder of their stay. During mealtime your dog will be temporarily isolated from the other dogs (in a crate or in a room by themself) until they finish (this is to prevent fights with other dogs over resource guarding and to insure your dog only eats the food they are use to). Once your dog has finished only then will your dog be allowed to return to the group. When I am away from home all dogs are isolated from each other (unless they came from the same household) until I return.

“Ahliah rocks! She’s so communicative and Lucy adores her. Thank you for spending time with our fuzzy girl, Ahliah!”

About: I treat every pet like family and take pride in offering personalized, attentive care. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy who needs playtime and consistency or a senior pet who requires patience and gentle support, I adjust my care to meet each animal’s unique needs. I WFH, so I have a super flexible schedule and can easily work pet care into my day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, midday drop in, or just extra attention throughout the day, I’m available and nearby. Since I’m home most of the time, I can offer consistent care, real time updates, and plenty of love and play. I know how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine, and I’m more than happy to make that happen with lots of cuddles included. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do everything I can to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress free while you’re away. I stick closely to their usual routine whether that means feeding schedules, walk times, or favorite toys and habits so they feel as comfortable as possible. I always respect your home, clean up after myself (and your pet!), and keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel confident and connected. If I’m welcoming a pet into my home, I create a calm and cozy environment where they’ll feel part of the family. I make sure they have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel at ease. I’m also mindful of any special instructions, from crate training to medication, and I’m happy to tailor their stay to match their needs. No matter the setting, your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priority.
