Pet Sitting South Miami

“Katherine did a wonderful job looking after my dog, Perla!! She followed all of the instructions and followed up with cute pictures and observations from her visits. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have been around pets for as long as I can remember. I have two labradors, one 14 year old and one 4 year old, so I have experience with puppy’s and elderly dogs! I have always been in charge of taking the dogs on walks, and I have been covering for my sisters Rover dog walks when needed :) As of now I am unemployed for the summer, so I have a lot of availability! I am going on a couple short trips this summer, and will be going to the University of Miami in August, but other than that I am very available! I lived in a suburb until moving to Boston this month, so I am familiar with both yard and city environments. We used a crate until my dog was about 2, I like to keep them leashed and close to me, and I always keep their waters full!

“We heavily rely on Sam’s support afforded to Athena, which has ranged from walks to/from dog care and house siting in our place. Sam is a pleasant detail oriented, exceptional communicator that our dog enjoys hanging out.”

About: Have you ever met a girl who had every dog breed, behavior, and product memorized by heart? Well, now you have! Hi! My name is Ariana and at 8 years old, I was that girl! I have been seeking dog walking jobs since I was 5 but my dog obsession started as soon as I laid eyes on the perfect maltese puppy my uncle had. From taking care of my uncle’s dog to begging my neighbor to let me walk their huskies with my babysitter and giving up TV for a year to earn my own dog, a day has not passed where I didn’t reminisce on my love for dogs and all animals. Since I could ride my bike I would trek all across my small town to walk and care for animals all of different ages, sizes, and temperaments. Typically, I would care for dogs, but have cared for cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, chickens and more! Being and working on multiple farms from age 6 has taught be to remain calm and keep my head when things don’t go as planned and to get right back up when you fall down and try again. Furthermore, I trained my own Cavapoo, Kiki, into an extremely attentive and smart dog - she goes everywhere off leash and even closes our door on command! I am currently in college and I’m going off of my class schedules alongside the amount of work that I get. I do not have many classes in a single day so working around my schedule should not be extremely difficult. Overall, I am extremely respectful and neat and only access the parts of your house in which I need to go. For dog walking and animal care, I leave every dog, making sure that they have a full bowl of water and that they are in the area designated for them. I make sure to lock and close every door requested and leave everything exactly where I found it. If there is any mess around the bowls or litter boxes I make sure to clean it up and refill everything as needed and/or requested. if there have been any accidents around the house, I make sure to notify every owner and clean up and disinfect the area. If the owners have requested that I give the pet treats or any extra medication I do as requested and make sure to follow up with a check in.

About: I have taken care of my own dogs and cats since I was little. I am a certified dog trainer at school, helping puppies at their beginning training stage! I cut my cat’s nails! I’m currently a full-time college student living off-campus. I have class every day but do have time to go back during breaks if needed. I also work on campus. I wake up fairly early and go to bed late. When dog sitting, I make sure the home is clean, confirm the dog(s)/cat(s) are eating, drinking water, and doing their business. If necessary, I know how to crate an animal and am comfortable with older pets as well.

“Jaen was responsible and took great care of my kitties, especially the one who needed daily medication at a specific time. She was punctual and provided excellent reports and pictures. I am very pleased with her services. I will definitely book her again. Thank you Jaen for your care, pictures and follow through.”

About: "I love animals—I really do! I have had dogs my entire adult life. I am very outgoing and friendly, and the messy parts of pet ownership (dirt, smells, etc.) don't bother me at all. I am also very patient and understanding; being a single mother to two teens since they were young has certainly prepared me for anything! I graduated from UW and spent over 20 years in corporate America, but now I am excited to find a new path working with animals. I am always available by phone or text, and I am happy to highly attentive 'helicopter' hoomans, I'm here to help! I'm currently wide open to care for your pup. I am in a career transition and what better way than to hang out with fluffy cute animals? I live in a very dog friendly building. I have a fence courtyard where Ollie (my dog) hands out and we also have a dog park right outside. I also have a crate in my apt that Ollie laughs when I tell him he needs to go in there.

“Debbie did a great job taking care of our cat for a few days while we were away. She handled a daily medication, cleaned the litter box and reported to us how everything went.”

About: Hello, thank you for taking an interest in boarding your pet with me at a Dog’s Dream Vacation provided by a dog lover. I love dogs and I am a borderline dog whisperer. When your pet stays with me, they are getting a vacation of their own. When you travel or go on vacation, they get to have a getaway of their own. If using the Rover App, scroll through the top picture to see the photo gallery of dogs having fun and enjoying their vacation. If on the desktop website, click on full gallery photos. Rover is definitely better than boarding your pet at a dog hotel, especially if they are anxious pets. It is like Air BnB for your pet. : ) I live on a small peaceful lake with a big, fenced backyard. There is usually a nice breeze. I have a big open space home and a large backyard, plus a pool. Pets can go in the pool. I know golden retrievers and Labradors can’t resist, so please let me know if your dog may attempt to go in and if you prefer that they don’t. The lake is closed off, not connected to other lakes or canals (very safe) but still I do not allow pets in the lake as there is bacteria. We have a very old cat, he is 15 years old and most dogs get along with him, even if they have never been around a cat. I sadly hate to update my profile, and it took me a few months to do so because of grief. We had a cute, playful, friendly Labrador. His name was Chance and he died of a hemangiosarcoma tumor on his liver and spleen. Apparently, labs and retrievers can get this. Unfortunately, nobody knows exactly what causes hemangiosarcoma in dogs. It is one of the most studied canine cancers, but there is no single proven cause. Researchers believe it results from a combination of: genetics, age, or random DNA mutations. The last few pictures were of me and Chance having fun. Our prices are in line with the market rate (and cheaper than a dog hotel) but in my home, your dog is getting a vacation, eventually a playmate once we get another dog. I prefer dogs that are potty trained. I also prefer friendly breeds. Please bring your dog’s bed, food and 2 poop bags per day. Also bring their crate if crate trained (this is in case only if I have more than 2 dogs during busy holiday season AND only if they are used to their home crate). It also helps some dogs feel at home and have their own scent. Be sure they are bathed and clean as they tend to lay on our rugs. I prefer they do not go on furniture but it’s ok if they do (Chance used to lay on the couch all the time). I am available weekends and/or holidays. I can also provide dog walks in Brickell during the weekday. On some occasions I can do a dog visit but it depends on day and location. Please let me know if you need more information or have any questions. I work full time but work from home 2 days out of the week. I keep dogs on a feeding schedule along with back yard play time and potty time. They basically do the same routine and schedule as Chance. I have a fenced in yard and one dog to keep your fur baby happy and in good company. I can crate your dog if needed or if you prefer. Please bring their crate if crate trained and sleep or are used to going in and out of their "home'. Sometimes it helps them having their scent.

About: Being around animals makes me really happy since I was a kid!!! 🐾 I miss my dogs and cats very much!!! They are currently being cared for by my parents back in Brazil.

“Sanjana was amazing. We have an elderly dog who has problems seeing and gets easily confused. Sanajana made sure he was OK each day and walked and fed him. Our dog accepted her immediately and it's like we never left the house. Thank you Sanjana!”
