House Sitting in Tavernier

“Abby did an amazing job with Charlie. We would definitely recommend her and will use her again if we're in the Key Largo area. She beat me to communication every step of the way, was timely in showing up to our place to watch Charlie and sent us videos and pics throughout the day. I have nothing but good things to say about our first experience using Rover. Thank you Abby! We know Charlie was in good hands and his long nap this evening shows he had a great time while we were out.”

“Elizabeth took such great care of my little Tater Tot! I ended up needing her support more than I originally thought I would, too, and she was so flexible and accommodating. She also was very communicative and clearly understood how much my little guy means to me. Thank you Elizabeth for being there for Tater and me this weekend!! If I end up back in Key Largo, I will definitely be in touch.”

About: I’ve always had a love for all animals and have grown up surrounded by dogs and cats. I’ve helped take care of and train my own pets my whole life, and have helped take care of family and friends’ pets since I was 16. I recently moved from North Carolina to the Keys to work as an intern with the Coral Restoration Foundation! I have lots of experience with pet sitting and would love to check in on your fur babies before/after my work shifts and on my days off! A typical shift is 9-5 but my schedule changes weekly so I’m happy to chat directly to give you a more accurate schedule. I am willing and able to accommodate any of your pets’ needs and happy to take long walks, play in the yard, and provide lots of snuggles!

“I can not say thank you enough to Sarah. My Leo enjoyed his time and was relaxed . Sarah arrived on time and cared for my boy while I went to a wedding. So worth it to not worry about my Leo .”

About: I haven’t killed my dog in 13years yet, won’t let your dog die on my watch. Call me the dog watcher😎 But on a serious note, I have been a dog-sitter for over 13 years. Always taking care of my friends & family furry friends. I am currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to have time take care of your “fur-baby.” 😊 Communication between me & the pets owner is priority for me. I truly try to cherish every moment I get with a pet. Even small things like walking for an extra 5 minutes or even reminding them how good of a boy or girl they are is important for me.

About: I grew up with two dogs and have experience caring for both individual dogs and dogs in multi-pet households. I truly love being around dogs — their loyalty, energy, and personalities bring me so much joy. I'm happiest when I'm spending time with animals and always approach dog care with patience, love, and respect. I also have a deep appreciation for nature and all creatures, and I will treat your dog like a member of my own family. I’m currently interning with a reef restoration nonprofit organization, where I balance remote work, land-based restoration work in Marathon, and dive days. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make ample time for caring for your furry family members! Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or plenty of cuddles, I’m committed to giving your pets the love and attention they deserve! I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their familiar environment! I focus on creating a calm, loving atmosphere by sticking to their usual routines, providing plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. I always prioritize the individual needs of each pet to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“First time using a pet sitter that wasn't a friend and Lauren did a great job. Our crew can be a little wild and unpredictable. Lauren sent updates and pictures. When we got back from our trip they all were very relaxed. Wonderful experience”

“Beth looked after our dog for the afternoon. As soon as she arrived, we felt at ease that she was an experienced dog sitter given the questions she asked. She took our dog for walks and sent us photos. We would have no hesitation in using Beth again”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and needs, and I treat every animal like family. I grew up with a rescue dog who I personally crate trained, potty trained, and cared for throughout high school—she taught me a lot about patience, positive reinforcement, and building trust. Also, up until I moved to the Flordia Keys a couple of months ago, I cared for my family’s senior dog and have been her primary caregiver for the past two years, helping her stay comfortable, active, and loved in her older age. Beyond that, I regularly pet-sit for friends and coworkers—both dogs and cats—and I’m confident with walks, feeding routines, medications, and playtime. I always make sure pets get the right amount of attention and mental stimulation, whether that’s through play, gentle training, or cuddles. I’m also extremely communicative and respectful of each client’s specific routines and preferences. You can count on me to send frequent updates, follow instructions closely, and provide your pet with the care and affection they deserve while you’re away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and always make time for. I work for a coral restoration organization, so my schedule can shift based on diving days and weather conditions. That said, I’m reliably available on weekdays after 5 p.m. and fully open on weekends. With a bit of notice, I’m happy to work with you to arrange visits or walks earlier in the day as well. I offer a variety of services, including drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, walks, house sitting, and boarding. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or consistent care while you’re away, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and provide dependable, loving care every time. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, my priority is always to create a safe, comforting, and engaging environment where your pet feels secure and loved. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow your routines closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, crate time, or play preferences. I respect your space and will always leave your home just as I found it, while keeping you updated with regular messages and photos. If your pet is staying with me, they’ll be in a calm, pet-friendly home where they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, and play. I do have a cat, but he’s very friendly with other animals, and I have plenty of space to separate pets if needed to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I always take introductions slowly and carefully, and I’m happy to adjust based on your preferences or your pet’s needs. Above all, I treat every pet like my own—offering patient, affectionate, and reliable care that helps them feel truly at home.

“Gabrielle took wonderful care of our dog Rocky for three days. She was an excellent communicator and sent pictures and updates regularly. Rocky is a shy dog and she brought him out of his shell quickly. She Played fetch with him multiple times a day and gave him snuggles. This is the best experience for our family. Definitely will be using her in the future!”

About: Had my first dog when I was 10 and fell in love instantly with pets. I took care of her for 7 years until I went off to study abroad. Friends and family have relied on me to stay with their dogs to take care, play, walk, feed and love them as much as I can. Full time job Monday-Friday from 8-5:30pm. I am open during weekends but if you are out of town and need someone to feed and walk your dog at night I can do that! Dogs tend to like me from the very first moment. I will do anything to make your dog feel comfortable and make them feel like they are with their family. Open to flexibility.

“Jonathan was fantastic. Great communication before and during the stay, and everything was handled perfectly. Highly recommended.”

About: I have extensive experience caring for pets, including walking, feeding, and bathing for friends and family. I’ve also handled week-long house sits, ensuring pets are happy and well-cared for while their owners are away. Additionally, I actively volunteer at the local humane society, which has given me further experience working with animals of all temperaments. My dedication to providing personalized care and my genuine love for animals make me a reliable and trusted pet sitter. I’m currently available Monday through Friday, and pet care fits seamlessly into my routine. Whether it’s daily walks or drop-in visits, I prioritize making time to ensure pets get the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety and comfort by ensuring a pet-friendly environment and following owner instructions closely. I do not offer at-home boarding, but I ensure pets feel secure and maintain their routines in their familiar surroundings. Trust is essential, and I provide constant supervision, keeping pets happy, healthy, and well-cared for during walks, feedings, and playtime.

“I can highly recommend Kristin! She cared for my 16 year old, deaf, blind in one eye Boston Terrier. She requires 4 sets of eye drops 3 times daily, plus oral medications. Kristin was in my home for 9 days. She communicated daily by texts with photos included. I was able to enjoy 9 days of vacation knowing my home and most importantly my fur baby was being cared for as I would. I will be using Kristin in the future and I would recommend to all my friends and family!”
