“Lindsay was very professional and was very good at looking after our kitties while we were gone. She provided regular photos and written updates and got our kitties to trust and spend time with her in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend her without any reservations. She also alerted us when a tree fell in our yard. She is the best!”

“We are super thankful to have Dawn to spend some time with jag and take care of him while we were away for a week. She’s very nice and responsive in letting us know that jag was taken care of. We would certainly have her back if we go away again.”

“Best experience ever! Wendy came by for a meet and and greet before she took care of Riley, then showed up exactly at the time we discussed. Wendy greeted Riley, made sure she ate, and then went for a nice walk, and then even sent us a few pictures! Will definitely use Wendy again! Thanks for your help, it allowed us to enjoy a fun day in Key West and not have to worry about our Riley!”

“Julie was great with our 2 pups. Both of our dogs were somewhat timid in our vacation rental, but Julie came walked, played with them and even managed to get them to eat. We were worried about leaving them in unfamiliar surroundings, but she eased all of our fears with good communication and even some photos. She was fantastic for our family.”

About: I have worked with animals professionally for 5 years, but also have 20 years of experience with my own pets. I have a deep love and respect for animals. I work a full time job as a dolphin trainer with inconsistent hours depending on time of year, but my days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays. Most other days I am available before 9am and after 6pm. My current living situation does not allow for me to care for animals in my own home, however I am open to caring to animals in the client’s home. I understand the importance of maintaining a clean space and respecting the boundaries set forth by the client. Please note for house sitting jobs that I do work a full time job Friday through Tuesday so on those days potty breaks would be before work (around 9am) and after work (around 6:30 pm). Wednesdays and Thursdays are my off days so I am available for more frequent potty breaks/play sessions.

“Kaylee seemed really eager to know what our 15 yr old min pin needed from her. She asked questions and texted us when she left. Our pup was content when we got home. Def would use Kaylee again.”

About: Hi there! My name is Taylor, and I recently graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in Biology. I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years, starting back in high school, and I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds! I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and training levels—including dogs, cats, and more. I am currently a summer intern at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, where I care for sea turtles on a daily basis. While I’m unable to provide in-home boarding, I offer drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their own environment. I'm based in Surf City but happy to travel to nearby areas. I'd love the opportunity to meet your furry (or scaly!) loved ones. Looking forward to connecting with you soon! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for in-home stays or drop-in visits and can provide walks and care before work (around 7 AM), during lunch (around noon), and after work (around 4 PM). I also have availability throughout the evening and overnight, making it easy for me to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet needs! As a summer intern currently staying in provided housing, I'm not able to offer in-home boarding. However, I'm very comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and have extensive experience with both drop-in visits and overnight stays. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and care to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away! It is very important to me that you are confident your pet is taken care of with no worries, so I like to send frequent updates and photos as well. It's also very important to me that my clients come home to a clean, tidy house—just the way they left it.
“Jessica was so helpful checking in on my cat for 2 days. Fantastic communication, understanding, and top notch care. I will use her services again on my next out of town trip. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter. Thank you Jessica.”

About: I have grown up with dogs, and have also helped with taking care of litters of puppies and their mommas. Dogs are more like my friends than people. I am currently self employed so I am almost always available to play and care for your pups!! I can do drop ins or house sitting. The dogs in my home are constantly getting played with and getting lots of loves, as I promise to do with your dogs, your dogs happiness comes first.
About: I’m an active animal enthusiast. My fur baby Lucy is my world and she receives the best care possible. If you wish for your pets to receive the same care then you’ve come to the right place! A-Z services with quality guaranteed. I’ve spent 4 years in the veterinary field, actively learning and taking my education further. What better way to offset an income then to be around the most joyous part of my day, all day! I’m an equal opportunist and love everyone’s fur babies as I would my own. After all, pets are better than people! My walks are thorough and my sitting services attentive. I offer extra services such as bathing and park visits. If you’re going to entrust someone, then entrust me! I am self employed and get to choose my own schedule. A little extra income between my own daily to-do’s fits my lifestyle! Thanks for your consideration I can take care of your animals in your home the same as I would in my own. I can adequately administer injectable’s subcutaneously and intramuscular. Water bowls filled all the time and food bowls by your wishes!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and trained puppies since I was little. I have continued living with roommates with dogs after moving away from home, and love helping out with watching and walking them. I wish I could have my own dog but my current circumstances would not be the best for it, so I treat every dog I interact with with the same love that I would give my own! :) I currently have a full time job and work Monday-Friday from 8am to 5pm. I can check on pets during my lunch break if you are located in Marathon. My weekends are usually free and I can come by or stay for most of the day. I can follow any directions you have for your pet! I know everyone is different, and every pet is different, so I am very flexible when it comes to care. One thing across the board is I will give your pets lots of love and attention :)
“Nicole did a Great job of taking care of our 2 Dachshunds and older Lab. We took a trip to the Dry Tortugas and didn’t want to leave them in our 5th wheel for 14 hrs without a potty break. Nicole made two visits to walk and let the baby’s use the park for a stretch break. One of the girls wet the blanket in her kennel and Nicole noticed it and put it in a plastic bag outside our door. We enjoyed our trip knowing they would be safe and looked after! Thank You Nicole for taking care of our baby’s!”

About: My name is Gunnar. I’ve been a local since 2002. I’m hoping to fill some spare time and save some money by offering pet and house sitting services from key largo to key west. I am very accommodating and flexible with my hours. I do work a full time job but am completely available outside of those hours (7-3) I have grown up with many animals but mostly larger breed dogs and cats. I also assist with fostering for Marrvelous pet rescue out of Key Largo. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this and I look forward to hearing from you! I work in marathon daily from seven in the morning to three in the afternoon. I am off on weekends and can offer my help all day then. I live in a duplex but have a small fenced in yard (not suitable for runners) and I am on a canal. Please let me know if your dog needs extra supervision around water.
