10 Tips for a Happy Earth Day!

We try to act like every day is Earth Day at Equipaws Pet Services!

How can we help conserve our resources for our children, grandchildren, pups, and grandpups and cats? We’ve compiled a list of […]

Fostering dogs and cats is a great way to help save a sweet, deserving life, but can seem daunting for those who have never been through the journey. One of our pet sitting clients fosters Boxers, in addition to having a wonderful furry family (we pet sit for little Bianca, their beautiful white Boxer in the photo). The Vargas’s recently welcomed one of their foster dogs, Jeter, as a permanent member of their family. Elizabeth was […]

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 […]
