Paige was the best dog sitter ever. She took care of our large dogs like they were her own. We would highly recommend her and definitely use her again. She gave us tremendous peace of mind.

Excellent! I am very happy with the care Betsy gave my pet dachshund, Huey. She is very nice and professional. Huey liked her right away and even playfully showed off a little. Thank you Betsy!

About: I have been taking care of animals for all of my life since my childhood. I have a genuine passion for dogs and cats and understanding their behavior and needs. Years of experience with animals have also given me an understanding how to handle dogs safely, including basic training commands and how to manage potential risks. I spend a-lot of time at home so the dogs or cats will have all of my attention all the time, the only full time shifts that I have are 3 times a week, they are 5 hours long, I have found that this time gap is still very convenient for having a doggo in my house, as I walk them right before and right after my work. During this time they are always ok and safe at home. My home is dog and cat-friendly and safe environment. Also I dont take animals from different homes at the same time so the animals dont feel threatened and “own” the space. Also I dont cage them, they are allowed to sleep on a bed with me. I have a yard but it is not fenced so for the safety reasons I only let the dogs walk there while on the leash. But for their walks I prefer the long walks along the Atlantic boulevard or surrounding areas (depending on how much they need or can walk)

About: I’m an experienced and dependable pet sitter with over 10 years of caring for both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m a hardworking, attentive caregiver who deeply loves animals and treats every pet as if they were my own. As a marine biologist, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and enrichment, which helps me provide thoughtful, attentive care tailored to each pet’s unique needs. I love providing animals with energetic walks, playtime, or just companionship, and I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I am currently working full time, 9am-4pm M-F! For my doggos, I typically take them on a short walk in the morning before work, and then I will take them on a longer evening walk and have some play time with them as well to ensure they are receiving enough exercise! Depending on your location, I can stop by during my lunch breaks (12pm-1) to check on them! I have a part time job as well 2-3 days a week that is typically 4pm-10pm, but I am always able to stop by and take them on a walk prior to heading to my second job and can leave briefly as well if needed! My first priority is ALWAYS your animal and their wellbeing, so whatever you and your fur baby are comfortable with I will make happen. While in my client’s home, I always, always make sure that your animal’s health, safety, and comfort are prioritized above everything else. I will stick to schedules that they are used to and comfortable with, and will ensure that I am giving them enough love, attention, and exercise while you are away! I like to have a meeting with you and your animals prior to watching them to get an idea of their behavior and their environment. I know some animals can take a little while to bond or may be extra anxious, so I take it slow while I am in their home and make sure that they do not feel threatened or concerned by my activity or presence. I will always treat your pets as my own, and will love them just as you do!

About: I love dogs! I have dog sit for my Key West neighbors and looking for more dogs to take care of! I am stationed here with the Coast Guard and looking to pick up a little extra work during the week and weekends! I currently work with the Coast Guard down here in Key West. I work 7am-1pm Monday-Thursday, so I am available pretty often for your dogs. I have a 3 bedroom, 2 story home with a medium sized yard that is completely fenced in. I have had dogs at my home before and everything has gone well!

About: My husband and I just moved from Michigan to Key west, with our cat Marshmallow. Having a beloved dog who just unfortunately passed away, I have become more experienced in senior animal care due to her needing more support in the months before her passing. I have had a pet in my home since I was a child and have grown up pet sitting for other family members. I am currently going to college online for an Associates degree in Exercise Science. I am generally free throughout the weekdays, but take the weekends off in order to spend time with my husband. Please feel free to reach out, as my schedule is flexible and I can make exceptions. Your pet will always be treated as it is my own. Similar to how my pets are always fed, hydrated, played with, and loved. Your pet will receive the same treatment.

About: We have been living in Mexico for the past few years so that's why you don't see any recent reviews. We are returning to our Key West home in May 2026. Our 2026 Key West availability is mid-May through October. We have a fenced yard and I work at home so around most of the time. Our 3 labs have all passed over the rainbow bridge so this is how we get our doggie love these days. I volunteer with the Key West animal shelter and have also volunteered while in Mexico (those are dogs with a rough life). Both Gary and I are experienced dog owners, and our midtown Key West location is convenient. We are friendly but firm with the dogs and welcome your well-behaved, adorable pooch. We are flexible with drop-off and pick-up hours within reason. We are also super cautious with security and do not leave dogs outside in the yard while we are gone. Get in touch, we would love to hear from you. We have a fenced yard so there's some outside play space. I do not leave dogs unattended outside just to be on the safe side. We are both retired, so we have flexible schedules for playtime, walks, etc. Morning and evening exercise with the dog will be standard, unless you tell us otherwise. Our yard is fenced and we are diligent about never leaving dogs in the yard if we are gone from the house. If we're not there, they are in the house.

Trischellee did a great job with my dog and cat. She sent me pictures of my dog playing with her and her dog's toys. It was obvious she was happy. When she visited my cat (who is very shy) she was clever in developing a routine with treats to be able to see the cat. No other sitter has ever done that. She is responsive and animal behavior savvy.

About: I have several family members who have trusted me in the past to take care of their pets. Pets are family, and to some people they are children. In my care they will be treated as such. I am currently stationed on Naval Air Station North Island, and cannot have a pet of my own but would love to take care of yours. I am fully available in the afternoons. I work full time in the Navy but usually get off around 11-12. I can be pretty flexible for your needs as long as I am off of work! Communication is key. Communicate what your pet needs and I will provide just that. I prefer clients home, because your fur baby will feel more comfortable in the comfort of their home. Anxiety is real, especially for animals.

Charlie did a great job with our large dog. She came over twice before the live-in visit started to make sure she was comfortable and knew all of the Ins and outs of her routine and the house. Bailey loved seeing her and went out for a walk with her while we were still here with no hesitation. The house was left clean like we left it. I will definitely ask Charlie if she is available next time we go out of town.
