Dog Walking Safety: Miami’s Most Poisonous Plants

Dog Friendly Spaces in Miami: Lokal Burgers and Beer

Are there any dog-friendly restaurants in Miami? Why, yes! Miami is full of dog-friendly restaurants, parks, and venues! Just this week, pet sitters and dog walkers Flavia and Frankie Berti were enjoying lunch at Lokal Burgers and Beer in Coconut Grove in between pet sits and dog runs and discovered that Lokal not only puts out fresh doggy biscuits and water for passersby, but they have a dedicated Doggy Menu, complete with non-alcoholic beer for […]

School Starts Today in Miami. Is Your Dog Ready?

School Starts Today in Miami-Dade… Is Your Dog Ready? We all work a ton, which means we’re away from our dogs a bit longer than we’re happy to admit. And now that summer is over and school is starting in Miami, everyone is gearing up for days packed with activity (or extra traffic if you don’t have kids)… everyone except your pets! What do you think they do while you’re gone all day? I can […]

South Florida Hurricane Season is almost here!

We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend in Miami. We feel blessed to have had fun days BBQ-ing in the Florida sun with our regulars, and very blessed to be pet sitters for a new pack that includes a Cockatoo, an African Grey, and an energetic brother/sister dog duo (they’re adorable!). Life as a pet sitter is so great that we almost can’t bear to say it, but we must. June 1 is this Friday, […]

Happy Start to Hurricane Season!

It’s official! June is the start of hurricane season. And while we love the summer (it’s one of our busiest quarters, when we pet sit, walk, and run dogs the most!), it also means the possibility of hurricanes. We know our blog post’s title is a little strange, as hurricane season is typically not something to celebrate… but we’re excited to bring you important information to help make this year’s hurricane season a breeze! Our […]

Pet Sitters Hurricane Plan: Preparedness

Pet Emergency Plans for South Florida As pet sitters, we pride ourselves on being prepared for everything- last minute pet sits or dog runs, helping find lost pets, helping our clients back into their homes if they’ve somehow locked themselves out, and, of course, having a pet plan in the likely event that a hurricane or tropical storm decides to grace South Florida.

Breaking It Down: Find Your Pet Evacuation Center It’s a fact: it’s really, really hard to keep your head straight and cover every detail needed when those hurricane watches […]

It so happens that one of the most common questions we get from our pet sitting clients is about which food they should be serving their dogs. We turned to J.J. Diaz, the enthusiastic and knowledgeable purveyor of our own dogs’ special pet food, Miami native, and owner of Animal Crackers, for advice. He’s been a huge help in alleviating our Shar-Pei’s chronic skin allergies, reducing costly vet visits, and eased us into the process […]
