Pet Sitting in Lakes by the Bay

About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’ve been providing pet care since November of last year and truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners. Skills & Experience: Large Dog Handling: Comfortable walking dogs up to 80 lbs with a calm and controlled approach. For safety, I do ask that larger dogs are fully trained and well-behaved on leash. Time Management & Organization: Experienced in caring for multiple dogs at once while making sure each one gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Routine-Based Care: I stick closely to each pet’s routine to help them feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. Reliability & Attention to Detail: I’m dependable and attentive, always paying close attention to a pet’s behavior and needs. Exercise & Engagement: I provide structured 30-minute walks and make sure each visit includes both care and positive interaction. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect; making sure they feel happy and cared for while you’re away, and giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently an online student so i have a very flexible schedule! Im available in the mornings, earliest 10am, and the latest at 8pm. I take both pet safety and respect for your home very seriously. I always follow any instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications (if needed), and household preferences. I make sure doors, gates, and entry points are secure at all times, and I’m careful during walks and visits to keep pets safe and under control. In your home, I aim to be as respectful and tidy as possible; cleaning up after pets, keeping their areas neat, and leaving everything just as I found it. I also understand the importance of trust, so I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates so you feel confident while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, calm environment for your pets while also giving you peace of mind knowing your home and pets are being well cared for.

“Lee was great! He came over a few days before his visit to meet my dogs. Lee was very patient with Axel, who gets a little weird with strangers. Lee kept me updated after every visit and sent pictures too. I will most definitely book again with Lee. You can tell he is very comfortable around all animals.”

“Manon and Kevin were great! They took care of my cat while we were out of town and went the extra mile to make a toy out of his pipe cleaners! They did a great job with making him feel comfortable and made sure to update me with every visit. I will be rebooking with them again in the future! ☺️”

About: (just reactivated my account in 2026, new to Miami) I have volunteered and trained 3+ yrs in professional wildlife animal and rescue care. 14+yrs of raising my scrappy little Chihuahua, Cloe. 2+yrs with our rescue , Pongo. Attention to detail for each animal in my care. I prefer to be SMOTHERED in dog kisses. All dogs are allowed on the couch, bed, or any area in the house. Comfortable with simple grooming. I love to send 1 or 2 puppy pics per day. I also try to make sure your doggy feels like they are receiving a spa-get away. We will exercise in the attached "Bark Park" if weather permits; and we will definitely indulge in a night-night massage. I am comfortable grooming, brushing, bathing, administering medication, or tending to a dog on their old age . I believe that attention to detail and a warm heart are my greatest strengths. My apt is attached to a "bark park" for daily exercise. All doggys have free roam of my house. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and in bed for snuggles. I live to love all animals like Steve Irwin.

“Kaitlyn is wonderful! She made sure my little ones were ok before family could return home. She remembered all the notes I left her and is very respectful!!!”
