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.

Safety, trust & environment

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.

Information Kevin W. would like to know about your pet

We’d love to know as much as possible about your pet so we can make their stay comfortable and stress-free. Please let us know about their normal routine, feeding schedule, personality, energy level, favorite activities, medications, allergies, fears or triggers, and any special needs. Since we have three dogs of our own, it’s especially important for us to know how your pet gets along with other dogs, including any history of aggression, guarding food or toys, or anxiety around new animals or people. We believe being upfront about your pet’s needs helps us provide the safest and best experience for everyone.

A typical day

We love keeping pets active, comfortable, and entertained based on their personality and energy level. That can mean neighborhood walks, outdoor playtime, fetch, tug-of-war, backyard time, enrichment games, or just relaxing and getting plenty of attention and cuddles. Since we have dogs of our own, pet-friendly activities are already part of our normal routine. We’re happy to keep high-energy dogs moving, but we also understand that some pets would rather lounge, explore at their own pace, or just have someone nearby. We always adjust activities to what makes each pet happiest and most comfortable.

Pet care experience

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.

Responded quickly, accommodating with drop off and pick up times, and was friendly. If your looking for care near the airport I would recommend them.
