Whether it's a pop in visit, Doggie Daycare, or an overnight stay you can count on me to pamper your precious pawed children. I too am a pet owner and understand how stressful leaving your babies in the care of someone else. You can trust and rely that they will be in the best care moreover they become part of my family.

Cooper loved his stay with Patty and her sweet pups. It was his first visit and he settled in right away-so comfortable, he spent two nights. Patty takes great care and is a terrific communicator. Next time we visit the Keys, we’ll look forward to another visit!

Doggy Day Care • Dec 24, 2025

Our mini schnauzer had a great time with Patricia. We could tell she was loved and enjoyed her visits while we were exploring the Everglades and Biscayne National Parks. If we find ourselves back in the area again we would definitely put our trust in Patricia again. Thanks for taking great care of our pup.

Patty and her two dogs were fantastic! Highly recommend her. Her house is very pet friendly, her two dogs were very friendly with our pup and she stayed in constant contact with updates on how our dog was doing. Will use her again for sure!

Patricia was wonderful! She was so kind and attentive to our dogs and made sure they got all of the love, snuggles, and play that they needed during her drop-in visits. Have already recommended her to others we know in the area!

Patricia gave us great confidence watching our Wire Fox Terrier while my husband and I were vacationing for a week in The Keys! We sat and chatted with Patricia both before and following our dog’s stay, and we knew we had picked the right dog sitter! Patricia was friendly, accommodating and professional. She took notes during the drop off, so my dog could stay on his same routines. She volunteered to us that she would cook him chicken (which he loved), and she sent us pictures every day of Ruckus playing in her yard and on her bed with her two smaller dogs. My dog was returned to us happy and clean. We would wholeheartedly recommend Patricia to anyone needing a dog sitter in the middle or lower Keys (as we easily dropped our dog off before heading an hour south). Patricia assured us she would distract our dog from any fireworks, since we vacationed in The Keys over the July 4th holiday. Thanks, Patricia!!
