About: New Clients: All dogs regardless of sex must submit valid rabies certificate/documentation before they will be approved (Miami Dade county law requires all dogs over 4 months to have rabies vaccine), any dog regardless of sex that is not fully UTD (including bordetella) will be automatically declined. All male dogs must also submit documentation proving they are neutered for approval. Unneutered Male dogs will be automatically declined. No Exceptions!!!!! I've had dogs most of my life since I was 8 years old (currently on dogs #3 and #4). I'm a natural with dogs (some say I'm a dog whisperer) and love them so much (I love giving belly rubs). I own two Siberian Husky that are well cared for so they are my references. Services offered: My house: Boarding, Walking, Grooming (Bath, Blow, Dry, and Nail Clipping only, No Haircuts/Shaving or Teeth Cleaning). Takes me about an hour to groom and dry each of my dogs using professional grooming equipment (Grooming is extra). Note: Boarding, Day Care, Walking, Dog Park and Grooming are all seperate services, so each has their own separate charge. If you want Walking, Dog Park, or Grooming Services it must be paid for on top of the Boarding/Day Care rate or service will not be performed. Drop Off / Pickup rate is for the first 10 miles from my house. Each additional mile is an additional $2.00 per mile (rounded up). there's 4 trips involved to pickup and dropoff as it is 2 round trips. For example if your address is 10 miles from me that means I have to drive 40 miles in total to pickup and dropoff your pooch so your total pickup/drop off rate would be $85 ($25 for the first 10 miles + $60 for the remaining 30 miles). Total Distance is determined by the fastest route during rush hour traffic on the day of booking request. Owner is responsible for all tolls for pickup/dropoff aswell which will be added at the time of booking. Your house: Drop In Visits, Walking My property is 6,240 sq.ft so plenty of space for your dog(s) to run around and play. The backyard is Siberian Husky escape proof with concrete all the way around the backyard fence so your dog(s) can't dig or find a way out (unless your dog can jump a 6ft high fence). if your dog is an outdoor dog you can leave him/her in my backyard without any worries of escaping as there are two locked gates in the backyard and I'm the only person who has the key. I specialize in Siberian Husky, if you own Siberian Husky this is the place for your husky with someone who is capable of handling such a special breed. I work full time but my job is very flexible, allows me to work whenever I want and lots of traveling around the city which allows for a quick 15 minute potty break/feeding and go back to work mid-day if I'm near home. Safety is my #1 priority (this is why I require all dogs to submit their valid rabies, UTD, and neutered documentation. When your dog first arrives on the property the first thing I do is introduce your dog to all the dogs on the property to see how your dog responds to each dog. If your dog(s) has problems getting along with other dogs it is my job to find a suitable group for your dog to spend their stay with. In the event your dog cannot find a suitable group then your dog will not interact with the other dogs or groups and will be placed in their own group for the remainder of their stay. During mealtime your dog will be temporarily isolated from the other dogs (in a crate or in a room by themself) until they finish (this is to prevent fights with other dogs over resource guarding and to insure your dog only eats the food they are use to). Once your dog has finished only then will your dog be allowed to return to the group. When I am away from home all dogs are isolated from each other (unless they came from the same household) until I return.

About: Dog Walker & Boarding – Loving, Safe, and Active Care Hi! My name is Agata and I live in the West Miami area. I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of a Siberian Husky, so I understand the importance of giving dogs plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I grew up in a family where dogs, cats, and even horses were part of everyday life, which made me very comfortable handling animals of all sizes and personalities. Spending time with animals has always been a natural and joyful part of my life. I love staying active and enjoy long walks, outdoor adventures, and bike runs with my dog. I’m experienced walking multiple dogs at once and always prioritize safety, positive interactions, and making sure every dog gets the attention they deserve. I am also comfortable administering medications when needed and following any specific care instructions to ensure your pet stays healthy and happy. My family and I truly enjoy welcoming dog guests into our home. Every dog we host becomes part of our routine, receiving plenty of love, playtime, and attention in a calm and caring environment. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, companionship during the day, or a safe place to stay while you’re away, I would be delighted to care for them and share joyful moments together. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful dog! 🐾 When your dog stays with me, they become part of my daily routine and receive plenty of attention, activity, and care. The day usually starts with a morning walk, followed by playtime in the backyard so dogs can stretch, explore, and burn off some energy. During the day, they enjoy additional outdoor playtime in the afternoon, along with plenty of supervision, affection, and rest indoors. In the evening I take them for another relaxing walk, helping dogs settle comfortably for the night. Feeding is always done according to the owner’s instructions, including specific schedules, portions, or dietary needs. I’m also comfortable administering medication when required. I also make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while staying with us. My goal is for your dog to enjoy their stay like a little vacation while you have peace of mind knowing they are in caring and attentive hands. Safety, Trust & Comfortable Environment Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home features a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor playtime and fresh air. For the well-being of all pets, I also have the ability to separate small and large dogs both in the yard and inside the home when needed, ensuring every dog feels comfortable and relaxed. Dogs sleep in a clean, quiet, air-conditioned room specially designated for my dog guests, creating a calm and comfortable place for them to rest. I also have experience caring for dogs who are sensitive to storms or loud noises, and I provide a calm environment with extra reassurance during stressful moments. My goal is to create a safe, peaceful, and trustworthy space where every dog feels secure and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog like a special guest in my home, providing attentive care, a calm environment, and plenty of love during their stay.

“Jennifer is amazing! She’s super kind to Pretzel, very professional, punctual, friendly and communicative. Pretzel starts off a little shy and she was patient with him. She goes above and beyond for your fur baby.”

About: I’ve pet sat since I was 11 years old for all types of pets, big/small dogs, puppies, cats, rabbits, fish, etc. I have also grown up always having pets in my house and have experience with various dog breeds. I currently work part time, only working about 5 hour shifts only 3-4 days per week. Meaning I am able to be home for majority of the day I enjoy taking dogs out on walks, around town, to the beach, or to the park to play. I currently do not have any pets in my apartment.

About: Hi! I’m Michelle 🐾 I’m a caring and dependable pet sitter who understands how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members. I will treat your babies just as if they were my own. I offer dog walking and drop in visits for dogs and cats, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets and will always follow your pet’s normal routine and any special instructions you provide. I’m extremely flexible and good with communication so anything you need or have questions about please feel free to ask! Se habla español! 🐾 I’m a medical caretaker, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to plan pet care around my daily routine. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, in-home pet sitting & I’m available late nights as well. Caregiving has also taught me to be patient, attentive & responsible, following detailed routines and instructions. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. Since I provide care in your home, I’ll follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll respect your home, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet receives plenty of attention and supervision. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and was always the one in my family caring for them. I currently have two sweet boys of my own, both 8 years old. Growing up, I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian; a reflection of just how much I’ve always cared for animals, but life had other plans and I proudly joined the service, where I’ve been serving for 13 years. Being in a new city away from family can get lonely, and I can’t think of a better way to feel at home than spending time with furry companions. I’d love the opportunity to provide your pets with the same care, love, and attention I give my own. Weekends work best for me when it comes to pet care since I work throughout the week. That said, I can still accommodate weekday care for emergencies or last-minute needs. I’ll just need to adjust my schedule. I try to stay as flexible as possible so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. I’m very attentive to my dogs and I take the same approach with every pet I care for. I know each animal has their own unique habits and personality, so please let me know anything special about your pet. I’ll make sure to keep their routine consistent. My dogs are small, so I take them on multiple short walks throughout the day to keep them happy and exercised. At home, they stay in a gated area in my bedroom while I’m at work, and at night they sleep with me. If you’d prefer your pet to sleep freely, I’m happy to allow that, but if your pet is crate-trained and you’d like me to maintain that routine, I completely understand. My goal is always to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and cared for the same way you would.

“Nicole has been absolutely incredible only after two weeks. My breed of dog takes time to adjust to new friends and family. Nicole has been able to patiently developed a bond to this point which we are confident will grow in time. This deserves mention and to be brought to the attention of others.”

“Miguel and Susana are awesome. They have been able to watch my cat every time I’ve had to go out of town and she loves them. I definitely recommend Miguel and Susana!”
