“Jaime is an angel! She took great care of my senior Yorkie Tank (13 YO). Although my request was last minute it went through seamlessly and later she was able to extent his stay with no problem. Her vet tech experience was incredibly important for my baby’s medical condition. She also trimmed his nails for me. I asked for numerous updates which Jamie provided through text, photos and videos. She even went to pick up his wet food when he didn’t eat the dry food I provided. She lives on a yacht and has an excellent setup for fur babies. Now I brag to everyone how my baby boy spent his summer vacation on a yacht 😂.”
About: I grew up in a home full of dogs and love, including fostering senior pups to give them happy, comfortable lives. I’ve also had a chihuahua and a rat terrier, so I know how to handle small dogs and understand their unique personalities. I work full-time with children, which has made me reliable, responsible, detail-oriented, and excellent at communicating. I genuinely love spending time with dogs — from playtime and walks to cuddles and belly rubs — and I treat every pup like part of my family. Dog sitting isn’t just a job for me; it’s pure joy. I take pride in giving each dog love, attention, and care, making sure they’re happy, safe, and wagging their tails every step of the way. On the weekends I can be home and available for the entire day. Weekdays I work from 8-3:30 but am home and available in the afternoons and evenings for quality care. While I do not have a yard, I live in a safe, dig friendly neighborhood perfect for dog walking. I also love going on walk adventures around town and at the beach
“Kevin was wonderful with our very energetic dogs for the day. He was calm with them and they came home tired and happy. He was also very responsive with texts - got back within a few minutes. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley was incredible with our pup! She kept us updated the whole time sending pictures and notes along the way! Copper was a happy pup in all the pictures and when we picked him up! Will definitely book with Ashley and her family again!”
“Jessica and her family are absolutely fantastic! Our Golden was very happy with them. So much so that he was bummed when we left their driveway. I have no doubt we will rebook with her.”
“Yesterday my little yorkie stayed at Miss Sonja’s beautiful house, she spent several hours with my dog ; Miss Sonja sent me videos and photos, during the whole time in her house; it was the first experience to leave my baby with a dog sitter, I'm happy that I found Sonja! my dog was also happy, it was clear that they took care of her, they played with her and my dog calmly sat in Sonja's arms; we are happy to leave our baby with Sonja again when necessary! Very appreciate!”
About: I love dogs. I see them as a family member. I am a very caring person and I have some Nursing Knowledge from my past experience as a nurse for 5 years.I think that can be useful for your pet. I work from Monday to Friday until 3 pm and I have the rest of the day off. On the weekends I have all day off so I could do the task on the afternoon some days of the week and also on the weekends. I have a fenced yard in my apartment they can use to play.The apartment inside is pet-proofing ,there is no hazardous items that could put them in danger. Is safe and clean.

Kevin watched our two goldendoodles, Huck and Tuck, while we drove down to Key West for the day from Islamorada. Kevin was very responsive and helpful during the booking process. He kept us updated with pictures and texts throughout the day, which gave us great peace of mind!! When we picked Huck and Tuck up, they were happy and tired — a sure sign they had plenty of attention and exercise. We would definitely book with Kevin again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet sitting.
