“Kyle was absolutely amazing with our dog, Stormy, while we were away for a week over Christmas break. He truly treated Stormy like family and kept us updated the entire time with pictures and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Kyle took Stormy on walks to the park, gave him a bath, and even went above and beyond by making him a special Christmas steak dinner complete with mashed potatoes! It was clear Stormy was happy, loved, and well cared for. From now on, Kyle will definitely be our go-to dog sitter. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!”
“Our pup had such a great time staying with Patricia! We came to the area for a wedding and she kept him for the weekend. It was such a joy to see pictures of our fur baby having a blast with new friends, and we highly recommend booking with her!”
“Jeff is great and our go to sitter for when we travel without the dogs! He even accommodates us very last minute (which is how our life usually goes!) he sends pictures daily, and the dogs seem happy to be there! We will use Jeff for as long as he dog sits for!”
“James and Nancy were absolutely fantastic sitters for Dobby and Troubles! From the very beginning, their communication was clear, consistent, and reassuring. We received regular updates and photos, which made us feel completely at ease knowing our pups were in such good hands. Not only did they provide excellent care, but they also went above and beyond by sharing helpful local recommendations and suggestions during our trip. Their thoughtfulness and attention to detail truly made a difference. Dobby and Troubles came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. We couldn’t ask for a better experience and will definitely book with James and Nancy again. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve had to help take care of dogs my entire life… Growing up, our family always had larger breeds of dogs which taken care of was part of my responsibilities in my adult life. I have had my own dogs… I currently do not have any dogs though. I currently work full-time as a teacher, but I have flexibility to come home during the day. and I am finished each day by 2:30 I live in an apartment under a house with a very large yard, but not fenced in… My landlord‘s upstairs do have a big Doberman, but he is super friendly. I can only accommodate pet friendly dogs at my home.
“Mackinzey - we can’t thank you enough for watching Aspen for us during our wedding week! You are the absolute best & we couldn’t be more grateful for your time & patience that it took for you to make sure that he could be part of our ceremony! Thank you so much!”
“Sonja was wonderful with our golden doodle, Sophie. She sent us lots of pictures and updates while we were away for the weekend. We could relax knowing she was in good hands. We definitely hope to use her again in the future.”

“Elizabeth is great! She has great communication and will send you beautiful pictures of your pet. She went out of her way and picked up some packages that had been delivered and placed them inside the house. Your pets are in good hands with Elizabeth.”
About: I truly love caring for animals and making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while their owners are away. I’ve been watching dogs and cats for years for friends, family, referrals, and people I’ve met along the way, and I genuinely enjoy every minute of it. Growing up, my family helped with dog rescues — and still do today — so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. From energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a cuddle buddy, I love getting to know every pet’s unique personality. I work a hybrid remote schedule, which gives me a flexible routine and allows me to spend plenty of quality time with your pet throughout the day. That means more walks, more playtime, more potty breaks, more attention, and of course… plenty of belly rubs and treats (if allowed 😄). I also have experience with longer-term care and have watched pets for entire summers (up to 3 months at a time), so I understand how important consistency, patience, and trust are when caring for someone’s furry family member. My goal is always to make your pet feel like they’re on their own little vacation while you’re away — happy, loved, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of the family. I know leaving your pet with someone is a big deal, and I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and someone you can genuinely feel comfortable trusting with your pet. I would be so excited and grateful for the opportunity to meet you and your furry best friend! 🐱
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: Friends always come to me to watch their beloved fur baby's. They know how much I'll love them like they're my own. I know how I want my precious Astro to be treated if I'm away and I'll live up to those high standards with your precious ones. I've recently relocated to Islamorada from Los Angeles with my dog Astro. He is a gentle soul, very playful, very well behaved and loves other animals. I am looking to care for animals full time. I wake up early and can spend the days exercising and playing. Smaller dogs can be in my home. Larger dogs will be cared for your in your home as I am not in a home with a fence yet.
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've taken care of many different types of cats and understand that each has their own personality and ways of interacting, or not, if they choose. I take things nice and slow and watch body language cues, learned through my Fear Free training. I adjust to what they want and you want and go from there.
“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 😇 ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“We took a last minute day trip & was in need of someone to help with our pups. Caitlin was an absolute treasure! She came in the morning to meet our babies & came back to let them out and feed them! We are so grateful. Thank you so much, Caitlin!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 30 years. I have great references. I pride myself on providing high quality care for your furry family members. I am a writer and a massage therapist. My schedule varies and I have plenty of free time to walk and exercise your dog or play with and provide company for your cat. As a licensed massage therapist for 22 years, I am also certified in companion animal massage and reiki, so I am here to help if your pet needs any healing work for pain relief or anxiety. I will always put your animal’s safety and comfort first in all situations. I am experienced in special needs diets and medical care for dogs and cats.
“Erin was great with my rabbit. It was a bit of a curve ball I threw but she was willing to take it on and was so helpful. She sent picture updates and gave him everything he needed.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Islamorada
“Our mini schnauzer had a great time with Patricia. We could tell she was loved and enjoyed her visits while we were exploring the Everglades and Biscayne National Parks. If we find ourselves back in the area again we would definitely put our trust in Patricia again. Thanks for taking great care of our pup.”
“James was an excellent host for Winston! He picked up our request last minute the day before and accommodated us perfectly on our stay in Key Largo. The backyard space was perfect for Winston’s energy and we could tell he enjoyed his stay as well.”
“Kristin was increíble. She was so beyond lovely to me and specially to Remi. I thank you so much for taking care of him. I would pick Kristin over anyone to take care of my little baby. ?”

“Jessica was an amazing dog sitter for my dog Toby 🐶🦴. From the start, she was super friendly, reliable, and clearly loves animals. Toby can sometimes be a little shy around new people, but he warmed up to her right away, which says a lot. She kept me updated while I was away and made sure Toby got plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. When I came back, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well taken care of. I’d absolutely recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Toby and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
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.
“It’s not easy to leave your baby with a stranger. But the moment we met Sonja at a prearranged meet and greet location, she was a stranger no more. We could not have asked for a better experience. Biscuit was treated like family. Sonja sent us a collage of the highlights of Biscuit’s day with her new friends, Sonja’s own two pups and another guest. The best photo of all was Sonja and Biscuit on a pink flamingo float in her pool. Sonja is bubbly and pleasant, accommodating, and responsive. She obviously loves animals. You needn’t hesitate entrusting your precious pet(s) to her care. I only wish that she lived in Fort Myers so that Biscuit could visit with her regularly.”
About: Cats, dogs and other critters are all great. I'm open to learning about your pet's needs and their special qualities. I live in a central location in Key Largo so it's easy for me to get around. My schedule is open any time of the week. Just let me know and I will work with you. I've worked hard my whole life. I'm familiar with the Upper Keys and have friends throughout various neighborhoods so I'm happy to come to you for your pet's needs. I have a reliable vehicle.
About: I have been pet sitting for years! I previously worked as a dog groomer, but retired and moved on to human hair! I have experience working as a pet sitter at Zoomies Pet Villas in Key Largo. I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from tiny teacup pups to large, lovable giants. Whether your dog is full of playful energy or prefers a slower pace, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including oral and topical treatments, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe hands.

There is a sandy area to dig, and plenty of room to lounge in the sun!

“Kyle communicated well! He did an in person meet and greet and followed all instructions for caring for my boy! He advised of his mood and what he enjoyed while sprinting for him. My boy really liked Kyle! I will definitely be using him in the future as well as referring him to others. Thank you Kyle!”
“Diane was great. Asked and she respond, I think right away with questions about my location and said yes. She did a great job with the girls and even carried my Shugar with a hurt leg down the stairs. So thoughtful. Got some pictures of the girls. Always love that. Was able to have a peaceful day on the water without having to worry about my girls.”

Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who’s dependable and trustworthy!”
“Zoe is amazing, attentive and caring. There was a medical emergency that happened to my fur baby and Zoe went above beyond for my pupper! She kept me updated and handled the situation flawlessly. Will book again!”

She was very responsive, communicated frequently, on-time, and even went above and beyond when our pup had tummy issues. We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thanks again Erin.”
