STOP Giving Your Dogs Jerky Treats

Stop Giving Your Dogs and Cats Jerky Treats It’s all over the news constantly: jerky treats are not good for your dogs. In fact, as of May 1, 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has received 4,800 complaints of illness in pets who ate chicken, duck, or sweet potato treats, almost all of which were imported from China. The reports include more than 1,000 canine deaths- a horrific number. And now they’ve been linked […]

Bringing the Yellow Dog Project to Miami

Dog Walkers Helping Dogs in Need of Space in Miami Did you know that some dogs are DINOS? As fun as that sounds, DINOS is actually an acronym for Dogs In Need Of Space. Like people, dogs have unique personalities that are shaped by their experiences as well as medical and mental health conditions. As such, not all dogs are happy to be approached by charging puppies or inquisitive sniffers, not to mention overly confident and […]

It’s that time of the year again! With Valentine’s Day approaching, we hope you’re taking advantage of the opportunity and making big plans to show your pets how much you love them! …Within reason, of course.

Things That Make Our Tails Wag: Happy Pet Sitting Clients!

There are so many things to be grateful for as pet sitters living in Miami. For starters, we get to walk dogs and pet sit for snuggly, lovely dogs, cats and birds daily, in what is arguably the city with the best weather in the United States (oh, and yes, birds DO snuggle!). While caring and loving animals comes naturally to the staff at Equipaws Pet Services, we do consider this a profession that requires […]

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 […]
