Sea turtle nesting history in Miami and understanding the process Every year May 1st to October 31st Miami-Dade County beaches are graced with the presence of the magnificent dinosaurs of the sea!

Although our furry friends can’t join us on the race day, they can always encourage and help […]

To Scoop Poop or not to Scoop, That Is the Question! This parody of a famous Shakespearean line of the play Hamlet makes us think: why did Shakespeare never write about… poop… the way he wrote about roses? “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet…” (Romeo and Juliet) Well, obviously, when we think of things aesthetically pleasing, dog poop does not make the list. […]

Meet Our Pet Sitters: Stefanie Caro, of Raggid Art

Our pet sitters are supportive, loyal animal lovers who do a wonderful job caring for our clients. They are also very talented outside of the pet sitting profession! Stefanie Caro, one of our pet sitters in Brickell, is an artist who expresses herself in many mediums (check out her website, RaggidArt.com). We are so proud of her because she recently completed a gorgeous commissioned mural in Jupiter (pictured above). We have also commissioned pet portraits from […]

Howl-O-Ween 2014: A Scary Good Time!

The 4th Annual Howl-O-Ween Festival at Pinecrest Gardens was such a success!

This year’s turnout was even better than last’s, and all took place on a beautiful day with perfect weather (not too hot!) amid fun activities and the wonderful vendors […]

There are tons of fun, dog-friendly events throughout Miami in April, and we have our paws in lots of them! We’re happy that West Elm Dadeland approached us to put on a pet-friendly event at their Dadeland store on April 13, 2014. The Downtown Dadeland area is very pet-friendly; the condos allow cats and dogs, and the store encourages paw traffic. Add that all up and it equals the perfect spot for a dog-friendly mixer! Together, […]
