House Sitting Marathon

“Maria was great with our babe! We came home to a happy healthy pup and the house was well cared for as well! She was great about communicating with me and sending me updates! Will totally use again!”

About: Hi, I’m Amy! I grew up right here in the Florida Keys, where I work as a local artist. I have always had a big soft spot for dogs. When I am not creating art, I bring that same energy, patience, and care to dog sitting. I offer dog walking, drop in visits, and overnight stays to keep your pup happy and active. One of my favorite dogs I have ever cared for is Tiki, a pool loving Jack Russell! Staying active and keeping dogs cool and well hydrated in the Keys heat is a huge priority for me. Whether your dog needs a fun, energetic walk or just plenty of play time and yard games, I am here to make sure they feel loved and safe. You can always count on clear updates and lots of photos while you are away. I can not wait to meet your dog! I work part time as an artist, which gives me a very flexible routine throughout the week. Because my schedule is open, I can easily fit in morning walks, midday drop in visits, and evening care. Pet sitting is a top priority for me, so your dogs and cats get dedicated time, attention, and care right when they need it. When caring for pets in your home, safety and routine come first. I strictly follow your instructions for feeding, play, and house rules. I always double check that doors and gates are secure, keep your space clean, and send frequent updates. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, calm, and happy in their familiar environment.

“Sara is amazing! She took care of our 3 dogs and a cat for a long weekend. She always communicated and pets were happy upon return. I will definitely have her watch our pets again.”

About: Please be sure to message me first for boarding. Meet and greets will be conducted for 1 hour alone. I need to see the behavior of the dog before I confirm boarding. I have taken care of many breeds of dogs and cats for 5+ years as well as different reptiles and 2 birds my whole life. Im currently going to school and have 2 dogs and 2 turtles who are my entire life. I love them so much and make them my priority. I am not afraid of the big dogs I have had several as well as mean cats 😂. I will follow whatever rules you have for your animals and make sure they are taken care of the same way you would.

“I highly recommend Grace! She has great communication with photos and updates every day. She went above and beyond when my flight home was delayed. We will be using Grace again.”

“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've grew up around animals since I was born. I love them more than people. I had 2 golden retrievers I grew up with and I worked for three years at my hometown dog shelter. I'm currently in between jobs, when I get a set schedule I'd be more than happy to work out any days to watch your puppies! I have a fenced in small yard and a nice house for dogs to stay at. I have a pitbull/ bulldog and she is the sweetest! I often play with pets outside and I love going for walks or runs.

“David was very caring with my dogs. He sent pictures of them each time he stop to walk them. I was very comfortable with him. I would recommend him to my friends.”

“Marti is a knowledgeable dog lover and responsible house sitter. She took wonderful care of our dog and our home. She was super responsive by text and left the house in beautiful condition. We appreciated knowing our crazy beagle mix was loved and cared for while we were away :)”

About: I’m a huge animal lover and the type of person who will absolutely stop to say hi to every dog I pass. I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while their owners are away. I’ve been watching dogs and cats for years for friends, family, referrals, and people I’ve met along the way, and I genuinely enjoy every minute of it. Growing up, my family helped with dog rescues — and still do today — so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I love getting to know every pet’s unique personality. I also have experience with longer-term care and have watched pets for entire summers (up to 3 months at a time), so I understand how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away and make sure they are happy, loved, comfortable, and cared for. I know leaving your pet with someone is a big deal, and I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone you can genuinely feel comfortable trusting with your pet. I would be so excited and grateful for the opportunity to meet you and your pet 🐶🐱. I work from home remotely a lot and am able to take full care of your pets on the weekends and most weekdays. It is a hobby/job for me because I love animals so much! I treat everyone’s pets like my own. Growing up, I had cats, dogs, horses, and every animal you could think of. I would love to have an animal now of my own, but I travel often!

About: My wife and I provide dog sitting, dog walks, drop in visits for multiple families in the Upper Keys area and have three fur babies of our own. We have been dog sitting for several years and have provided care for a multitude of canines, from dog walking services, fostering, and boarding. We are willing to take all canines that are well-mannered and play nice with others. We are also willing and able to care for puppies and older companions. I also provide obedience classes for shelter animals, puppies, and adoptions who need help with simple tasks like crate training, walking on a leash, sitting, and house training. Pet care is already a natural part of our daily routine. My wife and I work as a team, which gives us flexibility to make sure pets get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. We enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for additional pets fits easily into our lifestyle. Our goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for just like they would at home. We’re a husband-and-wife team and longtime dog owners ourselves, so caring for pets is already a big part of our everyday life. We have three dogs of our own and understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. In our home, we focus on creating a relaxed, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and downtime. We treat visiting pets like part of the family while still following the routine and rules their owners are used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we’re respectful of both the pet’s routine and the home. We follow feeding schedules, walking instructions, medications or special directions provided, keep things clean, and make sure pets get plenty of companionship and attention. Having two of us also means an extra set of eyes, extra attention, and more flexibility when caring for your pets. Most importantly, we want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are being cared for by people who genuinely love animals and will treat them the way we would want our own dogs treated.

“Meredith was awesome and our senior and very picky Lab loved her. Will definitely be using her again!”

Steven W.

About: I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely treat every pet like my own! I’m great with puppies; routine, training basics, and gentle structure. I’m equally comfortable caring for seniors who need extra calm and comfort. I pay close attention to body language and behavior, so you can trust your pet is safe, understood, and truly cared for!! This isn’t just a job to me; I love creating a happy, peaceful experience for every animal I meet! I am working part time, so I am flexible to fit the timing and needs of you and your pets! Weekdays are the best bet for me, weekends can be a little tricky! Whether your pet is in my home or I’m in yours, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and comfortable environment! I follow your routines closely; feeding times, walks, potty breaks, cues, and any training you’re working on! Your pet will feel safe with me! In your home, I keep things tidy, respect your space, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and snuggles of course! When it comes to sitting in my own home, I have a golden puppy, under a year; also a cat, so sitting in my clients home would be my best option!

About: I have many years of house and pet sitting experience, along with a genuine love for animals and a calm, dependable nature. I have over thirty 5-star reviews outside of Rover, so please inquire and I am happy to email them to you. I only provide overnight pet care in your home because it keeps your pet(s) happy in their environment. I take pride in caring for every home with respect and every pet with patience, affection, and attention to their individual routines. Senior pets hold a special place in my heart. I cared for my own beloved cat through his senior years, as well as my family's elderly dog. Over the past four years, I've also completed several house sits with senior pets, and I understand the extra patience, gentle care, and consistency they often need. My calm, quiet demeanor helps older pets feel comfortable and secure. As an empty nester, I enjoy a simple, flexible lifestyle that allows me to combine my love of travel with caring for pets around the world. Whether I'm staying in a quiet village or a busy city, I love exploring on foot, using local public transportation, and spending time near the water whenever I can. I bring a strong work ethic, excellent organizational skills, and a proactive approach to problem-solving, so you can feel confident that both your home and your pets are in capable hands while you're away. I work remotely, so reliable high-speed internet is important during my stays. My work is quiet and flexible, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with your pets throughout the day. I look forward to meeting wonderful people, caring for their beloved pets, and creating another successful house-sitting experience for everyone involved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely with a flexible schedule. I'm home for most of the day, which allows me to provide plenty of companionship, walks, playtime, feedings, and cuddles while keeping pets on their normal routine. Whether it's a local visit or an extended house sit, I enjoy giving pets the attention and consistency they need so they feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight or extended house sitting while pet parents are away. I believe pets are happiest and least stressed when they can stay in their own home surrounded by familiar sights, smells, and routines. I care for each home with the same respect I would my own—keeping it clean, organized, and secure—while giving every pet plenty of affection, exercise, playtime, and companionship based on their individual needs.

“Mackinzey was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Kalamazoo and was a perfect guest in the house. Would absolutely book her again any time we are leaving town.”

Mark V.

“I’m very pleased with Ms.Natalie and the care she provided for my pets. She is ethical with great communication and is very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend her for anyone that wants excellent quality care for their pets and home. My pets love her and her fur babies. We hope to see her back again soon!”
