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 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.

“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.”

“Elizabeth went above and beyond and made our time away from are babies as comfortable as possible. She sent so many cute photos every day. She is an exceptional pet photographer. I would recommend you hire her. She is an absolute angel 😇 ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“Elizabeth watched our puppy this past weekend. She had great communication with us and was great with Finn our puppy. She even sent us a few pictures during her visit. I would use Elizabeth again.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of variety breeds my whole life and have always been a softy for them. I have a dog of my own that I consider my child, literally. I’ve worked in a boarding facility for a year and now I’m pursuing a dog grooming career in hopes to keep helping dogs in any way I can. I’m currently going to school for grooming, I have class Tuesday-Thursday 1-4. Other than that I have plenty of time to help in anyway I can! I have a fully fenced in backyard with plenty of room for play. I have 2 friendly pups who can keep your pup entertained! I also can provide solo time if needed/preferred.
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: I had the good fortune to retire early at 53. Recently moved permanently to Key Largo. I have the time to properly care for your fur baby in your home or do walks or drop in visits. I’m not doing this to make a living. I’m available because I love dogs. I treat them like they are my children. I’m extremely honest, dependable and trustworthy. I like to teach each dog something as I interact with them. I enjoy training and highly encourage play and exercise. I’ve had dogs all my life. Many different sizes and breeds. I promised to love, protect and care for every one from the first day to the last. I will do the same for your furry friend every time I care for them. I can watch any kind of dog, young, old, energetic or chill. I’m retired and my girlfriend works from home. We have the time to watch your fur baby every day without distractions. Can provide care during weekdays or weekends. We keep our puppy inside our house. Will do the same with your pup. We exercise her on walks around the neighborhood and runs in the back yard. We can exercise your pup on or off leash depending on your preference.
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life (29yrs old). I have helped countless families and friends take care of and train their pets. I am an animal lover to my core; your pet will always be in safe hands when in my care. I DO NOT PROVIDE SERVICES FOR PET OWNERS NORTH OF THE FLORIDA KEYS. I am exclusive to the Florida Keys and can provide services from Marathon to Key Largo. As a retired Air Force veteran, I have a lot of time on my hands. I am available Monday through Sunday at any time needed. I am here for your pet! I can crate your animals if needed, take them on walks, let them play outside (if you have a backyard), and I will give any amount of love and stimulation to the pets if they want it. 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.

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.
