Personalized care for your dog or cat - Islamorada

“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!”

Madison D.

“Our dog had never been in day care before and I was a bit worried about how she would do with a stranger. Kyle was so kind and sent us updates on everything she did. He even sent photos and video! I really appreciated how he understands some of us dog people are about our fur babies. I highly recommend Kyle is you are in Key Largo.”

Lori Y.

“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!”

Lauren V.

“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!”

Andrea L.

“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!”

Ron F.

“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.”

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.

About: My wife and I provide dog sitting, dog walks, drop in visits for multiple families in the Upper Keys area and have three fur babies of our own. We have been dog sitting for several years and have provided care for a multitude of canines, from dog walking services, fostering, and boarding. We are willing to take all canines that are well-mannered and play nice with others. We are also willing and able to care for puppies and older companions. I also provide obedience classes for shelter animals, puppies, and adoptions who need help with simple tasks like crate training, walking on a leash, sitting, and house training. Pet care is already a natural part of our daily routine. My wife and I work as a team, which gives us flexibility to make sure pets get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. We enjoy being active and spending time with animals, so caring for additional pets fits easily into our lifestyle. Our goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, safe, and cared for just like they would at home. We’re a husband-and-wife team and longtime dog owners ourselves, so caring for pets is already a big part of our everyday life. We have three dogs of our own and understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. In our home, we focus on creating a relaxed, safe environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, potty breaks, and downtime. We treat visiting pets like part of the family while still following the routine and rules their owners are used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, we’re respectful of both the pet’s routine and the home. We follow feeding schedules, walking instructions, medications or special directions provided, keep things clean, and make sure pets get plenty of companionship and attention. Having two of us also means an extra set of eyes, extra attention, and more flexibility when caring for your pets. Most importantly, we want owners to feel comfortable knowing their pets are being cared for by people who genuinely love animals and will treat them the way we would want our own dogs treated.

“What a great experience we had with Beth. Our kitties were happy as can be after five days away and she gave us consistent updates and photos the whole time.”

Katie A.

“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”

Emma K.

“Thank you so much. I am so glad you were available on short notice. My furry gang loved you. This was the absolute best first time visit and we are so pleased. We look forward to working with you again in the future. My cats give you five meows.”

Tracy K.

“Kyle was amazing! GiGi loves him. ❤️”

“Abigail is outstanding and sweet. Our cat Mingo say so! Mingo is extremely shy and hides from everyone, but she comes out for Abigail and even rolls over and shows her belly. It warms my heart to see how comfortable Mingo instantly became with Abigail. ❤️”

Kelly S.

“Diane was wonderful!! She was so friendly, helpful, and was able to take care of my cats last minute. I would definitely recommend Diane and plan to use her services again!”

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.

“Mackinzey was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Kalamazoo and was a perfect guest in the house. Would absolutely book her again any time we are leaving town.”

Mark V.

“We have so much peace of mind when Maddy watches Geiffin. She is so reliable and Griffin isn’t a bit shy with her.”

Stephanie R.

“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 😇 ❤️❤️❤️❤️”

Ashley S.

“Kathleen took great care of Spot! Thank you so much!!”

Yeilys V.

“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.”

Jill S.

“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.”

Ryan N.

“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.”

Chyenne G.

“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.”

Jewels M.

“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!”

Angela G.

“Awesome pet sitter. Great communication. The pups are happy.”

About: I’m a calm, reliable sitter with experience caring for both playful puppies and senior pets who need extra patience. I’m attentive to routines, basic training, and individualized care so every pet feels safe and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine allowing me to be flexible and fully present for each pet. I am happy to work around schedules. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I keep their environment clean, safe, and low-stress, whether in my home or theirs.

About: I have had pets and cared for them my whole life. Have always enjoyed the love they bring into a home and giving that love back to them. I raised and trained my German Shepard. I have cat sit and walked my dog in various different environments. I work as a RN three days a week. My schedule is different every week but I have flexible availability. I work every other weekend. I walked my Dog 4 times a day around my neighborhood. She is fed twice a day. Both my cats are indoor cats who also get fed twice a day.
