About: I haven’t killed my dog in 13years yet, won’t let your dog die on my watch. Call me the dog watcher😎 But on a serious note, I have been a dog-sitter for over 13 years. Always taking care of my friends & family furry friends. I am currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to have time take care of your “fur-baby.” 😊 Communication between me & the pets owner is priority for me. I truly try to cherish every moment I get with a pet. Even small things like walking for an extra 5 minutes or even reminding them how good of a boy or girl they are is important for me.

“I have to say this was one of the best experiences I've had! My little dog Chanel is very picky about who she likes - she definitely lets you know if she doesn't. The minute Marti came in to the house Chanel fell in love with her. I felt so relaxed and at ease leaving Chanel with Marti. While I was away I received updates and photos - I think Marti could be a photographer! :) Chanel has separation issues and sometimes when I have left her in the past, when I return she is obviously stressed out and it takes a few days to get her back to "normal". Not with Marti, she has been perfect! Marti, thank you so much of taking such good care of my little girl. I can't wait until my next trip......I know who I am going to have back!”



“Kaytee was great with my two dogs! She was very flexible with our cancelled flights. She was reliable and professional and we will definitely use her again and recommend her to others searching!”


About: I grew up on a ranch around all types of animals. We always have cats, dogs, goats, horses, and we even bred puppies. I have experience with dog birth and puppy care, from birth up to the age they are able to be re-homed. I have experience administering medications for animals of all ages, especially for older dogs. We have had doodles, poodles, Aussies, golden retrievers, and all sorts of other breeds. I have experience in training, walking on a lead, and kenneling. I love working with animals and have always had a soft spot for them. I currently have a 1 year old French Bulldog, but I also work with my mother's five dogs. I truly love all animals and enjoy being surrounded in the love they bring!

About: I have been a dog owner for my entire life. I have pet sat for dogs of many ages and needs. I have fostered puppies and even adopted a dog! I am currently not employed full time so I have plenty of time to hangout with your pet! Occasionally I nanny or am gone but rarely! I live in an apartment currently and have a clean space, I can also sit in your home if preferred! I have a big living room!

About: Foster dog dad and long time board member of Marrvelous Pet Rescues (Key Largo). 25+ years of dog care experience. I will treat your furry family member as one of my own! I have lead “pack-walks”, “yappy-hours”, and training events with the rescue. I have successfully fostered and rehabbed dozens of dogs, including aggressive, and anxiety prone dogs. Comfortable with puppies-senior dogs as well as administering medications of all types. I have also completed many group and individual training courses. I have recently started working from home with an incredibly flexible schedule which allows me to be available any time day or night. Scheduled visits as well as last minute requests are easily accommodated. I care for your pet however you want! I will ensure your current schedules, routines, and training regimens are continued in your absence. From crate training to free roaming beach dogs I am flexible and comfortable with almost any request.

“Maria is fantastic. Very responsive and took wonderful care of our fur babies like they were her own. Everything went smoothly and the dogs loved having someone who would play rope and fetch with them (in addition to loving on them).”


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.

“Jessica is amazing!! I highly would recommend Jessica. She took great care of my two English Bulldogs that had a lot of health issues. When I came home my house was clean like I left it. She took pictures everyday of my two fur kids and sent them to me. I'm so grateful that I had Jessica watching my boys.”


About: Working from home gives me plenty of time for cuddles, walks and belly rubs. I have raised cairn terriers my whole life but love all dogs and am happy to help out anytime! I work from home and make my own schedule, happy to help out anytime. I live in a gated community with a great outdoor space that’s perfect for long walks. My two cairn terriers are my kids.

Laura C.
“Laura has taken care of our dogs for 5 years now since we moved to West Palm Beach. She has always been reliable and communicates diligently, keeping us updated with cute pictures of Tony & Fi while we are away. She doesn’t only make us feel at ease being away from home, but assures us if anything comes up she will be there to respond. Very thankful to have Laura in our lives to watch our little monsters when we are away.”
