Moving to Miami with Your Dog?

Moving to Miami with Dogs? Things to think about. Our wonderful Coral Gables pet sitter, Sara, recently relocated to Miami with her dogs from New Jersey (lucky us!). She is a wonderful addition to our team, always ready to help, and our pet clients love her. True to form, Sara wanted to share her story about her experience and tips for long distance trips with her pups and boyfriend in order to help those making similar […]

Calling All Canine Good Citizens in Miami!

Is your dog a Canine Good Citizen (or does s/he want to be)? We know a special place that could use her (or his) services!

Seasons Hospice was looking for volunteers, including canine volunteers. Caroline is looking for Canine Good Citizens ready to give of their time. We wanted to share this opportunity […]

How to Say No to Buying a Puppy this Christmas (or Hanukkah!)

How to Say No to Buying Puppy for Christmas or Hanukkah Your children have been begging for a puppy for months, maybe years, and they’re like bloodhounds on a scent as December 16 or 25 approach. Is this the year you bring home a new puppy? Some of our clients have trouble saying no to a puppy for the holidays even though they are almost certain they have enough on their hands with their families […]

Dog-Friendly Holiday Party in Miami a Success!

Thanks to all who came by our dog-friendly Holiday Party in Miami last weekend! We, along with our co-hosts Fuji and Friends, were so happy to welcome our clients and new friends to West Elm in Dadeland for our fundraiser benefiting Paws 4 You Rescue.

We had a wonderful time at our Howliday Party at West Elm Dadeland this weekend!

Tips for Walking Dogs on Halloween!

Taking Your Dog Trick-or-Treating? Pet Safety Tips for a Happy Halloween! We’ve heard a lot of our dog walking buddies are going to be trick-or-treating with their parents on Halloween! And while we love that your fur kids are included in your family plans, Halloween can definitely be more scary than fun for them. Packs of sugar-fueled, screaming mini-humans running around in strange get-ups, constant doorbell ringing, and the temptation of sweets is enough […]

Why You Should Hire a Dog Walker in Miami

Does Your Dog Really Need Daily Walks? Call us biased as dog walkers, but yes! Dogs are animals that work by nature; whatever their breed (or mix!), every dog was bred with a working purpose! Because the majority of dogs are naturally active, it’s important that they get the appropriate amount of exercise or be given work. Even those cute lap dogs who make great couch potato companions need to exercise if we want […]
