Dog Walking Grandale

About: I volunteered all throughout my high school years at the humane society and still try my best to help out and donate when I can. I have three pets, and have had many more in my life and hope to have even more when I’m given the proper opportunity and safe environment. Through my years of being a pet owner I know that animal care isn’t all that easy and isn’t for everyone. It requires hard work, patience, and lots and lots of research. I pride myself in being vigilant with care instructions as every animal is different even when it comes to the same breed. I work a part time job where I find out my schedule weekly. My job entails a 4-7 hour shift where I am completely free after. I am also a student but have yet to begin courses for the fall. I’m a lover of all animals and understand the importance of care and attention that comes with taking care of our furry friends. As a cat parent myself, I wouldn’t want anything but the best and most attentive sitter and through that experience, I have the drive and need to make sure all pets are getting the care and stimulation they need as animals. I also have two parakeets and while having a cat and birds in the house wasn’t easy at first, through training and lots of patience I successfully managed to have my own kitty befriend our two parakeets.

About: I have several years of professional experience working with dogs in daycare, boarding, and veterinary settings. I previously managed a busy dog daycare and boarding facility, where I oversaw the daily care of dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities. My experience includes supervising playgroups, monitoring behavior and body language, feeding, administering routine care, enrichment, maintaining safe environments, and communicating with pet parents. I’m especially comfortable with large and high-energy dogs and understand that every dog has different needs. I have experience working around dogs who may be nervous, easily overstimulated, shy, or need a little extra patience. I believe in positive, respectful handling and pay close attention to each pet’s body language rather than forcing interactions. I’ve also worked in a veterinary clinic environment, which strengthened my attention to changes in a pet’s behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, and overall well-being. While I don’t provide veterinary care, I understand the importance of following care instructions carefully and communicating quickly with pet parents when something seems unusual. Whether I’m stopping in for a visit, taking your dog for a walk, or caring for your pets while you’re away, my goal is to keep their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I’ll treat your care instructions seriously, provide updates, and make sure you know how your pet is doing while they’re with me. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the week for pet care. My availability varies by day, but I keep my Rover calendar updated so pet parents can see when I’m available. I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting around my schedule while making sure each pet receives reliable, unrushed care. When caring for pets in your home, I treat them like one of my own—with patience, consistency, and lots of love. I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, potty breaks, walk preferences, and any special instructions. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and comfort, and I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, play, and calm companionship. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk or staying for in-home care, I strive to leave your pet (and your home) just as happy and tidy as when I arrived.

“Good communication and timely”

“Shelly made sure to be very quick to respond and to keep us updated every step of the way. When it was too cold to go outside for a walk (single digits!) she switched it up and played indoors. I mis booked the dates and she was extremely understanding and flexible which was so appreciated. Thank you Shelly!”

I am currently going to school for my Master's in Business and taking care of my mom, so I will have plenty of time, love, and care for your fur babies! Anytime or anyplace, I am here for you and your babies! By focusing on safety, trust, and a nurturing environment, I ensure that pets are not only well-cared for but also feel secure and loved, making their time away from their owners as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. 🐾🐾

About: I've owned/fostered/rescued animals my whole life, and I'm an avid animal lover. I run a rescue program with my friend and community members, and am very skilled with medical monitoring and behavior reading. I have experience working with special needs and elderly animals. I've administered oral medication and eye drops, changed doggy diapers, and bottle fed babies. I also have experience working with aggressive and territorial animals, I maintain a gentle and patient energy and work hard to create a secure relationship with each pet. I don't mind cleaning, I love super active animals, and I'm confident and reliable in caretaking. I work independently as an artist and curator, so I make my own schedule, so I always have plenty of time for your fur baby. I am unable to watch pets at my own place, as I am constantly fostering and have my own cats. I've been a trusted house/pet/baby sitter for 10 years, and will take great care of your space.

About: I love all animals and grew up with dogs, both rescues, one big one small. Although I don’t have a pet of my own now, Rover gives me the chance to give care and spend time with the furry friends that give us unconditional love. I’m currently working freelance so I have the flexibility of making my own schedule, and time to spend giving attention to your pets and whatever needs they have. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe in their own space. My first priority is to make your dog or cat feel comfortable with me.

“Thank you for being the bright spot in Lopsie’s day! We both appreciate your dependability and thorough care 💕”

“Samantha is amazing, she never failed to send pictures and get plenty of exercise with my insanely hyper dog, he just loved her. In February of this year I got into a horrible accident and didn’t wake up for two days, I lived alone and my dog didn’t have anyone, I woke up in the ICU and Samantha was the first one I got a hold of knowing she had a key. She showed and saved my dogs life, my keys were lost in the accident and I had no way to get home. She safely got the key to my family and Obsidian is safe and healthy with me traveling across the United States and happier then ever. I couldn’t thank her enough for being that reliable. I don’t know what I would ever do without my boy.”
