Photography with a Soul: MaxNorman Pet Photography

Dog walker Flavia was recently a part of a group of volunteers that helped photographer John Bouma from MaxNorman Pet Photography take photos of the homeless dogs and cats at Miami-Dade Animal Services (MDAS). It was such an amazing, inspiring experience to help these animals look great for their portraits. Without John’s help, and the help of other photographers who volunteer their time, the public likely won’t see these dogs and cats, which makes it […]

Save Your Pet’s Life: Learn about Obstructions

It is so important to be alert and aware of your dogs' behaviors while on walks with them or even lounging in the backyard; our little friends can ingest very dangerous objects in a split second, leading to harmful obstructions which can result in death. Learn more about the causes, symptoms, and treatment for obstructions in pets in our blog post!

Ready to Read a Great Reason to Hire a Dog Walker? “Why do I need to hire a dog walker? I have a back yard, he runs all the time out there!” We hear that often enough that we felt we HAVE to address that misconception. Pet parents in Miami who own nice backyards seem to feel that letting their dogs out, alone, for long stretches of time means that their dogs get great exercise. […]

Two Fun Ways to Help Miami’s Pets’ Trust

Pet sitters experience the consequences of not spaying and neutering cats and dogs first-hand. Our clients often contact us before anyone else when they come across a stray in need of help, food, and home, and we welcome that trust. As much as we want to help every cat, dog, or even bunny, we don’t always find a good home for them. And that hurts. Luckily for the animals of Miami-Dade County, animal rescue groups […]
