Cat Sitting in Newport

About: Hey there! My name’s Kyle, and I’m a nursing student living here in Key Largo. I own a property with multiple units and a fenced yard/backyard. I own a small, male Shiba Inu! In general, I’ve owned and taken care of dogs since I was 10! (So just a little over 18 years as of 2025) I love dogs and haven’t gone very long without a canine companion in my life. That being said, I have plenty of first-hand experience with many dogs from volunteering, my personal life, and from informing myself whenever available. I’m very flexible and will make sure all of your and your pet pals’ needs are met. I am currently working DoorDash on the side, so I will be in/out of the house but have the ability to immediately return at a moments notice and will never be too far from the home. I am already taking care of my own dog for walks, potty breaks, etc, so most pets will be following the same routine unless requested otherwise or are young and need constant supervision. My home is large enough to care for dogs of all sizes, including a property with a fenced in yard and backyard, as well as a puppy-proof room available to house young kittens and puppies.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities for 30 years. I make sure every furry friend feels happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of supervision and attention throughout the day. I send photo updates so you know how they’re doing. I provide a calm and secure environment. I’ll treat your dog like family — with plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. I carefully follow instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and routines to ensure consistency and reduce stress.

About: I’ve lived with animals my entire life. Even when I moved away from home for college I would fill my free time with fostering dogs and cats. I have some prior experience providing basic training to dogs and I have experience administering multiple types of medication. I’m currently working full time but will be transitioning into my PhD in the fall. Currently, I cannot house anyone in my home but I am free for very early morning and late afternoon walks and check ins! I care for your pets as if they were my pets. I can adapt to needs and am happy to give as much enrichment, love, and attention as you and your pet desire!

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 25+ years, primarily caring for large breeds, and I truly treat every pet like family. Over the years, I’ve also cared for friends’, neighbors’, and family members’ dogs and cats, giving them the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and needs, including seniors, anxious pets, and those requiring extra care or medication. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or special care routines, I’m happy to provide the attention your pet deserves. I take on clients from Ocean Reef to Islamorada. I work from home with a flexible schedule, and can adjust it to meet your needs. I take on clients between Ocean Reef and Islamorada. I will watch cats in your home or schedule visits on your preferred frequency. I will feed, play or just keep your pet company while you are away.

About: I have lived with and cared for animals for as long as I can remember!

I am hoping to work with animals in the future and am even vegan for animal rights. I assure you that you're fur baby will be in good hands with me :) *I have experience with puppies, middle-aged, and elderly doggies! I am currently home from college, for summer.

“Lucia was wonderful with our two pups! We have a frenchie that we don’t usually have the dog sitter walk because he can be difficult on walks. She insisted and she knew exactly how to handle him, he did great. I would highly recommend that you use Lucia if you need a pet sitter.”

I can follow any diets or diet restrictions that your pet may be on. I can also tend to disabled animals as well. Anything that you and your pets may need to feel the most comfortable.

About: I have cared for my own and others’ pets for over 35 years—large and small dogs, different kinds of cats, birds, hamsters, bearded dragons, even fish. I have the most experience with dogs – I’ve loved and owned dogs since I was a young girl. Most recently I volunteered with and fostered dogs (& one kitten) for Detroit Dog Rescue for 8 years, which only stopped because I moved away. I have fostered and trained puppies, young to mid-age rescues, and also adjusted as my dog became a senior. I can walk your dog, have play time in a yard or a park, just have some chill time, and I can incorporate some enrichment to get them thinking and busy if you would like. I am also an expert at administering medicine with dogs and don’t mind doing this. I am also trained in Fear Free® pet care which focuses on behavior and body language with strategies to lower stress and anxiety in pets. I have vast experience with fearful and reactive dogs, owning one and fostering a few myself. My approach is patient and never pushy, letting the pet choose how they would like to interact, which could be none at all for some. I used Rover for many, many years for my pittie girl Penelope and understand the importance of clear communication, doing what the client wants, being on time, etc. I am excited to meet your pet and take care of them the way you would like. I am currently working part-time at a dive shop and have a bit of free time until we get busier. If I work, it can be any day of the week with weekends more busy than during the week. I can have a morning or afternoon shift or both. Mornings are 7am until noon and afternoons are 1115 to close to 4pm. I can travel directly to work to and from your home in the morning and afternoon. I can do drop-ins, longer stays, or overnights. I will make sure your pets are safe and secure in the yard when we are out there. I can easily crate them as well. I will do as you wish in your home.

About: Recently moved back to Islamorada. 6 years I used to work as a Kennel Attendant, and Groomer's Assistant. Supervising and cleaning up after dogs big and small, While I know the job can sometimes be challenging, I also know how rewarding it can be. I walk daily on my own so exercise and being active would be no problem to incorporate, I have experience working with even the biggest of dogs and letting them know who's Alpha. I am sensitive to dogs needs regarding hot pavement, and would work to do my best to keep them in shaded or softer areas for walking. Since I worked as an attendant and bather, a simple bath and brush would be easy to arrange if shampoo and towels are available and your pet feels safe having a stranger do it. I would love being able to provide that little extra to make your dog feel like a personal client and special friend. I work a rather unpredictable schedule, but often have off weekends, where I'm home almost the entirety of the day if you check with me I can best let you know if I can host your pup. I care for a very very nice dog named Finley who would love a friend to hang out with, we have an outdoor porch and a big grassy yard, and I stay close by, playing with toys between chores or cuddling while watching a movie. There are also parks around if you feel comfortable having your pup come with me on a longer walk or to socialize with others. I am looking for more even tempered dogs to host but good playful energy is welcomed if they get along with others.

About: I have cared for dogs since I was 8 years old. I am responsible, reliable, caring and would love to watch your pets for you! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I am a current sophomore at the University of Georgia, and would love to pet-sit while in college. My availability is weekdays after 2pm, and anytime on weekends. For my classes, I would only be gone for about 3-4 hours at a time. Therefore, I would have plenty of time to take good care of your precious pets! I normally care for pets at the clients home and provide care all throughout the day. Your pets will receive all my attention and will be sure to be fed on time and taken outside to play/potty when necessary.

About: I've never not had at least one dog or cat growing up. Experience with caring for many types of dogs and cats within all ages and sizes. I am currently working as a freelancer so I have plenty of time to care for your pets on which ever days and times you need. I can easily crate dogs if needed. Can follow a set feeding schedule or free feed pets. I am used to having high energy dogs and cats that want to play all the time so can definitely entertain them with lots of toys, walks and company.
