Pet sitting on the coast: who we trust.

Traveling and need someone you trust with your pets? Here's our go-to recommendation for professional, insured pet sitting — with a dedicated local guide for Sebastian and Vero Beach.

By the Captain Duster crew·Updated May 2026·3 min read

We're a house cleaning crew, not a pet sitter — but our clients ask us constantly who to trust with their animals while they travel. After hearing the same happy reviews again and again, we have one clear answer.

Why it matters

A professional sitter beats boarding

They stay home

Same bed, same smells, same routine. Pets are calmer in the place they already know than in a strange kennel.

Less stress, fewer germs

No kennel cough, no anxious nights surrounded by barking strangers. Just their normal day, minus you for a bit.

One-on-one attention

A dedicated sitter focuses on your animal — feeding, walks, meds and cuddles — not a room full of pets at once.
