About: My hands-on experience as a former dog rescuer and PetSmart employee sets me apart. Being a dog rescuer has given me the skills to confidently care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During my time as a rescuer, I learned not only how to feed them and play with them, but also administer medicine and bathe them when necessary. As a pet care associate and cashier at PetSmart, I worked with multiple types of dogs and their pet parents to ensure they would get the best products and services. Because of my dedication to the well-being of dogs at PetSmart, I was offered an opportunity to be trained for a dog trainer position, but I had to reject it since I was moving out of state for college. Now, I’m back in Miami and ready to make your dog feel at home, even if you’re away. I’m a college student currently in Miami for summer and on a really flexible schedule, so I’m willing to dedicate lots of time to your dog. I will adapt to your dog’s necessities, whether they need going on long walks and playing at the park, or cuddles and quiet time. I believe that dogs are important members of the family and deserve to be treated as such.

“Fantastic! Went above and beyond on their walks, communicated often and always quickly. Eileen was very flexible with some sudden changes I requested of her at the last minute and was very responsive. Will definitely book her for my next trip! Thanks again, Eileen.”

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m confident administering medications, including oral, subcutaneous, and intramuscular injections. I also give extra patience and love to anxious or shy pups. I understand that every dog has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I always tailor my care to match. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment where your dog can feel relaxed and happy while you're away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or quiet companionship, I’m here to provide the same care I’d want for my own pets. As an active retiree, I enjoy staying busy and find pet care to be a fulfilling part of my daily routine. Caring for pets has always been my dream job. It brings me joy and purpose every day. I have the flexibility to accommodate a variety of schedules, whether it’s regular visits or last-minute needs. Being with animals keeps me moving and energized, making pet care the perfect way to spend my time. I offer pet care services at your home, where safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s routines closely to keep their day familiar and stress free. I make sure the environment is secure by keeping doors, windows, and gates properly closed and by avoiding any hazards. I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect, maintaining cleanliness and order throughout my visit. Communication is very important to me. I provide regular updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and well being always come first.

About: Hi! I’m Richard Twaits, born and raised in Coral Gables, Florida with over 21 years of pet care experience. Feel free to read the lengthier bulk of my summary, but for convenience I have prepared a bullet point summary of my skills & strengths: Lifetime Dog Owner – Raised with dogs since early childhood; experienced with all life stage • 🐶 Rescue & Trauma Experience – Skilled in building trust with abused or anxious dogs • Lifetime Dog Owner – Raised with dogs since early childhood; experienced with all life stage • 💉 Medical Care Knowledge – Familiar with chronic conditions (e.g., Addison’s disease) and medication routines, including injections • 🏃‍♂️ Active & Athletic – Committed to daily walks, exercise, and play for dogs of all energy levels • 🐕 Large & Small Dog Handling – Comfortable caring for breeds from Shih Tzus to Pitbulls and Standard Poodles • 🚨 Emergency Experience – Calm and fast-reacting in emergencies (e.g., breaking up dog fights, rushing to ER) • 🧠 Behavior & Temperament Awareness – Skilled at reading dog behavior and adjusting approach accordingly • 🏡 Experienced Pet Sitter – Cared for dogs of family, friends, and neighbors for years • 🤝 Gentle Giant Personality – 6’4", 225 lbs; firm, loving presence that dogs feel safe around • 👀 High Situational Awareness – Alert on walks and in public spaces; prioritizes safety at all times • 💼 Reliable & Responsible – Former CPA auditor; understands time management and accountability • 💧 Health & Wellness Focused – Values hydration, outdoor time, and structured routines for happy, healthy pets My love for animals started early. When I was just a few years old, my mom found an abandoned Shih Tzu in our neighborhood. We took him in and named him Yankee. He wasn’t the easiest dog—snappy, growled at everyone but my mom, and didn’t let anyone else pick him up. But over time, we formed a bond. We later learned he had been abused before we adopted him, which explained a lot. Slowly but surely, he came to trust us. I’ll never forget the first time he let me scoop him up after chasing a jogger down the street (something that happened more than once!). Yankee taught me that some dogs need time, patience, and love to come out of their shell. He went from biting us as kids to becoming a beloved family member who would cuddle in our laps when he wasn’t feeling well. That experience taught me a lot about pet temperament and trust. As Yankee reached his final days, we adopted Lena, a black standard poodle. After Yankee passed, I quickly realized something wasn’t right with Lena. A vet diagnosed her with Addison’s disease—a rare hormonal imbalance. Without a monthly injection, her muscles would collapse from exhaustion. I even had to rush her to the ER once. That experience taught me how critical it is to stay on top of medications and chronic health issues. I take that responsibility very seriously. After Lena began declining far too early, we rescued Gigi, a golden retriever/chow mix. The two were adorable together—Gigi trying to gnaw on Lena’s legs as a teething puppy, and Lena tolerating it with quiet elegance. After Lena’s passing, Gigi became my baby. She’s now almost 13, but I keep her active and healthy. As an athlete myself, I’m very disciplined with her care: daily walks, playtime in our huge backyard, and lots of love. I also care for my dad’s pitbull/lab mix when he’s out of town. I helped raise her from puppyhood, so I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels—from snappy seniors to energetic puppies. I take pet care seriously. I’ve worked as a Big 4 CPA auditor (60–80 hours a week—I get how hard it is to balance life and pet care). That’s why I’m here—to help you provide your dog with the love, exercise, and attention they need while you’re at work, traveling, or simply recovering. I've also had to protect my pets in intense situations. At a dog park, I once had to physically unhook a pit bull’s jaws from my Gigi. Another time, I defended her from a small dog that torpedoed out of a neighbor's yard. I never use violence against animals; I love them all. But I’ve learned how to react quickly and prioritize safety for every dog involved. I’m always aware of my surroundings and cautious on walks to protect pets from traffic, off-leash dogs, or surprises around the corner. I’m 6’4”, 225 lbs—what you might call a gentle giant. I’ve got a firm but caring touch, and I’ve found that dogs tend to trust me quickly. No dog is too big or too small for me. I’ve cared for the pets of neighbors, family, and friends for many years, and I’d be honored to care for yours, too. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets under my care the time, attention, and activity they need throughout the day. Whether it's early morning walks, midday playtime, medication schedules, or evening routines, I’m able to fully accommodate a pet’s needs. I also stay active myself, so daily walks, backyard play, and consistent hydration are already part of my lifestyle. Pet care isn't something I squeeze in—it's something I plan my day around. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet, whether in my home or yours. I always take time to understand each dog’s unique needs, personality, and boundaries before beginning care. In your home, I treat the space with respect, follow all instructions carefully, and maintain routines to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. I'm alert on walks, avoid unsafe or crowded areas, and always keep pets securely leashed unless in a fully fenced space with permission. If I'm caring for a pet in my home, I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly—free from hazards and tailored to the dog’s energy level and comfort. I also have a large, secure backyard that allows for safe outdoor play and exercise. I’ve dealt with everything from high-anxiety rescues to medical conditions requiring medication, and I bring a calm, confident presence that helps dogs feel safe. Whether it’s administering meds, protecting pets from off-leash dogs, or recognizing signs of stress, I act quickly and responsibly.

After becoming a stay-at-home mom to two children, I decided to make pet care a full-time job. Taking care of animals is my passion and purpose!

“Gabi has been great! We started using her after our previous dog walker had a medical condition and was no longer able to walk our dog. Our yellow lab, Madi, enjoys her walks with gabi when we are at work. Gabi is communicative and attentive. We highly recommend her!”
