House Sitting in West Flagler, Miami

“Samantha took great care of two Labs and sent us lots of pictures, which we greatly appreciated! At the last minute, we had to ask her to drop off our sick cat at our Vet's office the day we left on our trip and she gladly did it. The next day, on her own initiative, she visited our cat at the Vet's office to give him some TLC.”

“Repeat client. Theresa is very communicative, flexible and great with both our needy Frenchies. Can’t say enough good things about our experience (and I am very particular with who I leave my pups with).”

Katie K.

“Caity was great! I appreciate how she asked questions in advance to make sure my dog was being appropriately cared for. She arrived early and sent pics throughout the evening. Will absolutely be requesting her help again!”

“I was so impressed with Taylor’ ! I ended up having to stay out of town a little bit later and she was so flexible and even came earlier the day I left just to keep my dog company and keep him on schedule. She was very responsible and I knew right from the start that my dog was in good hands. This was the third time leaving my dog with someone else, and I felt totally comfortable. She had great tips to provide on how to curb a few of his behaviors and was incredibly insightful. She also cuddled him a tremendous amount and treated him like her own. She was very communicative and always gave updates and sent pics! She also left my home in great condition and took good care of it while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone!! Thank you so much, Taylor!!! You are the best!!!”

“Nathalie looked after our two pups for a month and house-sat for us over the holidays. She did an excellent job, we received regular updates, both pups were very well looked after and the house also immaculate when we returned. Thank you and we definitely recommend!”

“Alejandro did an amazing job house sitting my two Maine Coons. He sent me pictures and kept me updated the whole time and became friends with the cats in a few days! He also picked up a perishable package while I was gone and watered my plant. Will definitely work with him again in the future!”

About: Hi! I’m Richard Twaits, born and raised in Coral Gables, Florida with over 21 years of pet care experience. Feel free to read the lengthier bulk of my summary, but for convenience I have prepared a bullet point summary of my skills & strengths: Lifetime Dog Owner – Raised with dogs since early childhood; experienced with all life stage • 🐶 Rescue & Trauma Experience – Skilled in building trust with abused or anxious dogs • Lifetime Dog Owner – Raised with dogs since early childhood; experienced with all life stage • 💉 Medical Care Knowledge – Familiar with chronic conditions (e.g., Addison’s disease) and medication routines, including injections • 🏃‍♂️ Active & Athletic – Committed to daily walks, exercise, and play for dogs of all energy levels • 🐕 Large & Small Dog Handling – Comfortable caring for breeds from Shih Tzus to Pitbulls and Standard Poodles • 🚨 Emergency Experience – Calm and fast-reacting in emergencies (e.g., breaking up dog fights, rushing to ER) • 🧠 Behavior & Temperament Awareness – Skilled at reading dog behavior and adjusting approach accordingly • 🏡 Experienced Pet Sitter – Cared for dogs of family, friends, and neighbors for years • 🤝 Gentle Giant Personality – 6’4", 225 lbs; firm, loving presence that dogs feel safe around • 👀 High Situational Awareness – Alert on walks and in public spaces; prioritizes safety at all times • 💼 Reliable & Responsible – Former CPA auditor; understands time management and accountability • 💧 Health & Wellness Focused – Values hydration, outdoor time, and structured routines for happy, healthy pets My love for animals started early. When I was just a few years old, my mom found an abandoned Shih Tzu in our neighborhood. We took him in and named him Yankee. He wasn’t the easiest dog—snappy, growled at everyone but my mom, and didn’t let anyone else pick him up. But over time, we formed a bond. We later learned he had been abused before we adopted him, which explained a lot. Slowly but surely, he came to trust us. I’ll never forget the first time he let me scoop him up after chasing a jogger down the street (something that happened more than once!). Yankee taught me that some dogs need time, patience, and love to come out of their shell. He went from biting us as kids to becoming a beloved family member who would cuddle in our laps when he wasn’t feeling well. That experience taught me a lot about pet temperament and trust. As Yankee reached his final days, we adopted Lena, a black standard poodle. After Yankee passed, I quickly realized something wasn’t right with Lena. A vet diagnosed her with Addison’s disease—a rare hormonal imbalance. Without a monthly injection, her muscles would collapse from exhaustion. I even had to rush her to the ER once. That experience taught me how critical it is to stay on top of medications and chronic health issues. I take that responsibility very seriously. After Lena began declining far too early, we rescued Gigi, a golden retriever/chow mix. The two were adorable together—Gigi trying to gnaw on Lena’s legs as a teething puppy, and Lena tolerating it with quiet elegance. After Lena’s passing, Gigi became my baby. She’s now almost 13, but I keep her active and healthy. As an athlete myself, I’m very disciplined with her care: daily walks, playtime in our huge backyard, and lots of love. I also care for my dad’s pitbull/lab mix when he’s out of town. I helped raise her from puppyhood, so I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and energy levels—from snappy seniors to energetic puppies. I take pet care seriously. I’ve worked as a Big 4 CPA auditor (60–80 hours a week—I get how hard it is to balance life and pet care). That’s why I’m here—to help you provide your dog with the love, exercise, and attention they need while you’re at work, traveling, or simply recovering. I've also had to protect my pets in intense situations. At a dog park, I once had to physically unhook a pit bull’s jaws from my Gigi. Another time, I defended her from a small dog that torpedoed out of a neighbor's yard. I never use violence against animals; I love them all. But I’ve learned how to react quickly and prioritize safety for every dog involved. I’m always aware of my surroundings and cautious on walks to protect pets from traffic, off-leash dogs, or surprises around the corner. I’m 6’4”, 225 lbs—what you might call a gentle giant. I’ve got a firm but caring touch, and I’ve found that dogs tend to trust me quickly. No dog is too big or too small for me. I’ve cared for the pets of neighbors, family, and friends for many years, and I’d be honored to care for yours, too. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets under my care the time, attention, and activity they need throughout the day. Whether it's early morning walks, midday playtime, medication schedules, or evening routines, I’m able to fully accommodate a pet’s needs. I also stay active myself, so daily walks, backyard play, and consistent hydration are already part of my lifestyle. Pet care isn't something I squeeze in—it's something I plan my day around. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet, whether in my home or yours. I always take time to understand each dog’s unique needs, personality, and boundaries before beginning care. In your home, I treat the space with respect, follow all instructions carefully, and maintain routines to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. I'm alert on walks, avoid unsafe or crowded areas, and always keep pets securely leashed unless in a fully fenced space with permission. If I'm caring for a pet in my home, I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly—free from hazards and tailored to the dog’s energy level and comfort. I also have a large, secure backyard that allows for safe outdoor play and exercise. I’ve dealt with everything from high-anxiety rescues to medical conditions requiring medication, and I bring a calm, confident presence that helps dogs feel safe. Whether it’s administering meds, protecting pets from off-leash dogs, or recognizing signs of stress, I act quickly and responsibly.

“Bri took the time to meet my pitty many visits prior to staying with him. My pup has stranger danger and Bri was super respectful of him needing his space. Once he was comfortable with her (and vice versa), Bri watched him when we went out of town. We got updates and pictures which every dog parent loves(: 10/10 recommend and will be using Bri again soon(:”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with large, high-energy dogs. I grew up with three German Shepherds and currently care for my 3-year-old German Shepherd, Loki. This has taught me how to handle strong breeds, manage their exercise needs, and understand their behavior. I’m patient, responsible, and confident with dogs of all sizes, especially big ones that need extra attention and control. My hands-on experience makes me comfortable with leash training, playtime, and ensuring safety during walks. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I’m looking for a flexible job that works alongside my other part-time roles in the sports industry and my university schedule. Plus, I truly love dogs, so being able to care for them while maintaining flexibility is ideal for me. At home, I make sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention. Since I don’t have a yard, I’ve made it a routine with my parents to take my dog, Loki, to the park every day for 2–3 hours or go on long walks around the city. I believe in keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy through play, exercise, and quality time. I would bring the same care and commitment to your pet as I do for mine.

About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for over 15 years, including personal pets and others’. This includes pets of all ages, shapes, and sizes, as well as energy levels. I also have experience with dietary restrictions. I currently work full time (9-5) during the week, but work 10 minutes from home and have a flexible schedule to where I could let pets out once or twice during the workday. I work from home on Fridays as well and don’t work weekends. I have a dog-friendly apartment with a run for dogs to relieve themselves, play, and socialize. The surrounding neighborhood is also very walkable and a few minutes drive from local parks.

“Leandro was great!! Chilly absolutely loved him and he was well taken care of. He sent pictures and is timely with his updates to ensure you feel safe and secure with him watching your dog. Could not recommend him any higher he’s amazing!”

About: My hands-on experience as a former dog rescuer and PetSmart employee sets me apart. Being a dog rescuer has given me the skills to confidently care for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During my time as a rescuer, I learned not only how to feed them and play with them, but also administer medicine and bathe them when necessary. As a pet care associate and cashier at PetSmart, I worked with multiple types of dogs and their pet parents to ensure they would get the best products and services. Because of my dedication to the well-being of dogs at PetSmart, I was offered an opportunity to be trained for a dog trainer position, but I had to reject it since I was moving out of state for college. Now, I’m back in Miami and ready to make your dog feel at home, even if you’re away. I’m a college student currently in Miami for summer and on a really flexible schedule, so I’m willing to dedicate lots of time to your dog. I will adapt to your dog’s necessities, whether they need going on long walks and playing at the park, or cuddles and quiet time. I believe that dogs are important members of the family and deserve to be treated as such.
