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.

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!

“Vicmarie was by far the best dog sitter! She took Ellie to the park multiple times during her stay, kept me updated with lots of pictures, and had great communication throughout Ellie’s whole stay! She accepted my request very last minute and even let me extend Ellie’s stay a couple days! I highly recommend Vicmarie for taking great care of your pet!”



“My experience with Glennis was great. She watched both of my dogs for 4 nights. One of my dogs is a puppy and she was very understanding of puppy messes. She sent me photos of them and checked me in regularly. I had a delay at the airport and she was flexible enough to be able to hold on to them an extra night. Her roommates are also there regularly to watch them which made me feel even better. I would definitely recommend her!”

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.

About: I have raised puppies and kittens, handled horses, and been a pet sitter for over 7 years now. I have administered medication and keep pets on their potty and feeding schedules. I work mostly from home. I am able to come walk/feed/play with your animals during my lunch hour, I take my own dog out every 1-2 hours and my employer is very kind and would always allow me to leave in an emergency. I believe in fun play time, and long walks and am able to abide by any schedule the owners would like to keep for their pets.

About: I have cared for pets for as long as I can remember and have always had a loved dog in the house. I also grew up on a farm from around 13 to 18, caring for barn cats, horses, donkeys, chickens, geese, and dogs. My life has always been centered around animals, and even when I went to university, I focused on animal care, attaining an Animal Studies major. I truly have a passion for animals, and would say they have always been a major part of my life. I am currently an intern for Coral Restoration Foundation, so my schedule changes weekly. I am extremely passionate about nature and animals, and I moved to Key Largo with my two babies. I am able to take care of your loved pets either before or after my shifts or on my days off! I have two of my own pups, 5-year-old Corgi and a 10-month-old Cocker Spaniel, who have a big yard to play in. They love to go on walks and car rides with me and are crate-trained. My place is typically in a state of a "puppy playpen" due to their scattered toys. My pups are almost always included in my outting if they can come and are huge part of my day to day life.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and have had dogs ever since I was little. They are apart of the family and will always treat them like my own I’m currently in nursing school, my schedule is pretty flexible, will only be in school 2 days a week.
