“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!”
“Cooper loved his stay with Patty and her sweet pups. It was his first visit and he settled in right away-so comfortable, he spent two nights. Patty takes great care and is a terrific communicator. Next time we visit the Keys, we’ll look forward to another visit!”
“Jeff is was amazing with my puppy. We left her with him for a week while we were visiting my parents. She came back happy and healthy at the end, and we got pictures of her every day. We couldn't have been more pleased.”
“This was the first time we left Cookie with Alexis and we could not be happier! We got A LOT OF PICTURES AND VIDEOS! It made us so happy to see Cookie so happy! Made us feel relieved that we picked Alexis to take care of our grumpy, old dog 🥹 thank you Alexis! You were amazing!”
“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!”
“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!”

“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.”
“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”
“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. ❤️”
About: I enjoy cats and have worked in cat rescue for decades. I own cats a few years over the course of my lifetime and mostly the lack thereof has been due to my rental housing situation for the past 20 years. I’m a big supporter of rescues and a big believer that cats need a long-term housing stability. Rental situations have proven CAT astrophic out here in the Florida Keys as it is the top reason there are so many abandoned and feral cats.
About: I have been a dog owner for 15+ years, caring for them through puppy age all the way to being a senior. Thank you for letting me help take care of your sweet furry friend! I am free to care for your pet all days of the week since I am between jobs at the moment and have full flexibility. I have a five year old Welsh Corgi at home, and I do not have a yard. I’m happy to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting services.
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.
About: I’ve been a proud cat owner for 3 years after rescuing kittens off the street during Miami’s hottest summer back in 2023. I have experience in medication administration, bottle feeding, recall training, and learning the many different litter box methods (these new automatic ones are incredible). Your kitty will be so loved the moment I walk in and plenty of treats will be had!
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.
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! 🐱
“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 😇 ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
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: Hi! My name is Jozy, most of my days are spent working from home with my sidekick, a mid-mannered animal loving 8 year old German Shepherd. I’d be thrilled to care for your family companion members while you’re away or just need a break.

Thank you for reading! Cheers. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide attentive full-time care and companionship throughout the day. Your pet will have plenty of supervision, playtime, potty breaks and affection ensuring they always feel safe and comfortable.

I carefully follow each pet’s routine including feeding schedules, exercise, medications if needed and any special instructions. All while ensuring they receive plenty of attention, playtime and affection.

“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.”

“Lovely young lady! Patient, flexible and very knowledgeable. My new rescue is not an easy pup. He has trust issues and can be intimidating but she handled him like a real pro!

Thanks again for your kindness and for always being there — you really make things easier and brighter!”

About: I've never not had at least one dog or cat growing up. Experience with caring for many types of dogs and cats within all ages and sizes.

Can follow a set feeding schedule or free feed pets. I am used to having high energy dogs and cats that want to play all the time so can definitely entertain them with lots of toys, walks and company.

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 can feed, bathe, walk, run, take to the dog park, groom, basically anything you would need! I’m your go to girl for all pet inquiries :) I am a full time student but my classes and extracurriculars are pretty spread out throughout the week which leaves me a lot of time to care for the dogs during the day and night! i have a fenced in yard with no other pets currently. We have shaded areas outside as well as heated/air conditioned air inside! We also have a park right across the street for some more room!
