Dog Walking Grant-Valkaria

“Olivia is so great with Athena! She’s prompt in her arrival and is very patient with her considering she’s both elderly and deaf. I feel really comfortable knowing that when I am away Athena is well taken care of. Thank you, Olivia for everything.”

About: I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I am also open to providing care for cats. I am happy to assist with any needs your pet may have. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important pets are to their families, and I will treat your pets with the same care, attention, and love that I give my own. I am currently a full time student working in public school. I leave around 7am and I get off at 2:00/2:30pm Monday-Friday. I am available to walk or do drop ins after 2:30pm. If I am house sitting/dropping in I may have to arrive/leave sooner depending on how far you are from me. On the weekends I work from 6:50am-11:30am and 1pm-5pm. I have three dogs at home so if you are looking to board you will need to bring your dog to my residence to make sure they can be around my dogs. Your dog has to be able to stay in a crate for 4-6 hours while I’m a work. My grandparents will give them a bathroom break in the afternoon. I will follow your schedule, including feeding times, walks, and any required medications. I am committed to giving your pets attentive care and plenty of affection.

About: Sure, there are lots of pet sitters out there—but here’s what makes me the one your pet will never want to leave: Puppy Whisperer: Got a bouncy bundle of paws and energy? I’ve got the patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement techniques to help puppies learn basic manners, crate comfort, and potty routines. Every little win is celebrated with love (and maybe a treat or two)! Senior Pet Specialist: Older pets have a special place in my heart. I understand the slower pace, the medication schedules, the joint stiffness, and the need for extra TLC. From gentle walks to soft bedding and warm snuggles, I ensure your golden oldie feels safe, loved, and pampered. Home-Like Comfort: I’m not just a sitter—I provide a calm, clean, and cozy environment that feels like a home away from home. Whether your pet is shy, social, high-energy, or low-key, I tailor the experience to match their personality and needs. Daily Updates & Smiles Guaranteed: You’ll never have to wonder how your fur baby’s doing—I send regular updates with photos, videos, and the occasional funny story. You’ll see the love and fun in every tail wag and purr. Genuine Love + Professional Care: I take my role seriously, but I also LOVE what I do. I’m attentive, experienced, and fully invested in each pet’s happiness and well-being. From first sniff to final tail wag, your pet is treated like family. Bottom line? I don’t just watch pets—I bond with them, care for them, and give them an experience they’ll love. Whether you’ve got a wiggly pup, a wise senior, or a quirky furball in between—I’ve got the skills, heart, and home to make their stay safe, happy, and unforgettable. As a work-from-home professional and semi-retired empty nester, my life has found a fabulous new rhythm—part Zoom meetings, part freedom, and 100% paws-itively centered around my fur babies. Morning Zoomies & Zen: My day kicks off not with an alarm clock, but with a tail-wagging or whisker-nudging wake-up call. Coffee in one hand, leash in the other—these early AM pet rituals get me moving, clear my head, and set the tone for a productive day. Nothing like a brisk walk or snuggle session to kickstart the brain! Midday Snuggle & Stretch: While others take coffee breaks, I take pup breaks. Toss a ball, refill a water bowl, or have a quick snuggle—it's the ideal reset between tasks. And yes, I may or may not narrate your pet’s inner monologue for comic relief. (Spoiler: they’re always hilarious.) Evening Adventures: After a day of keyboard clicking and virtual brilliance, it’s time to unwind. Evening walks, backyard fetch, or simply lounging on the couch together—it’s our little “we survived another day” ritual. Bonus: no awkward small talk like at the gym. Weekly Spa Days & Supply Runs: One day a week, I can serve as a full-time pet concierge, taking your pets to grooming appointments, checking supplies, and scheduling vet appointments as needed. It keeps me grounded, keeps them healthy, and gives me an excuse to spoil them (as if I needed one). The Emotional ROI: Being an empty nester, pets fill my home with energy, joy, and just the right amount of chaos. They remind me to stay active, present, and most importantly, to stop and enjoy the treat now and then. Bottom line? Pet care isn’t a chore—it’s the heartbeat of my daily routine, keeping me balanced, loved, and on my toes (literally and figuratively). It’s like working with your best furry coworkers… who never judge your snack habits or meeting attire. When your fur baby stays with me, they’re not just getting care—they’re getting the royal treatment! From the moment they trot (or zoomie) through the door, they become part of the family. Whether they’re a couch cuddler, belly rub beggar, or a nonstop ball chaser, I meet them where they are—with love, patience, and play. Daily Tail-Wagging TLC Includes: Plenty of walks, playtime, and enrichment to keep those tails wagging and minds engaged Cozy nap zones and soft beds for full-on relaxation Fresh food and water served on schedule (with a dash of love) Treats (with your permission!) because every good boy or girl deserves a little yum Spoiled, Not Sorry: I’m talking extra cuddles, attention to their unique quirks, photo updates for you, and a whole lot of talking to them like they’re royalty (because… they are). Whether it’s belly rubs, soothing music during storms, or a lap to nap on, I go above and beyond to make them feel safe, secure, and super special. Bottom line? You can rest easy knowing your pet is in a loving, experienced home where they’ll be cared for just like you would—and yes, maybe a little extra spoiled too. 😉

“Raelin did a great job with drop in visits and walking our dog Mose. She was punctual and provided detailed updates about her time with Mose. I will definitely use Raelin again! She reached out to me the day before we left to make sure nothing had changed and I really appreciated that!”

About: Hi! My name is Hailey, and I absolutely love caring for animals. I’m a third-year Biology student at UCF with a passion for animal care and conservation, and I’m excited to bring that passion to Rover! I have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats through my own pets, volunteer work, and everyday animal handling. At home, I have my energetic French bulldog, Lola, and my wonderful cat, Popper. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, where I help with cage cleanings, animal socialization, and dog walking. These experiences have taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and understanding each animal’s individual personality are. I’m comfortable caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some extra playtime, a calm companion, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. Outside of Rover, I’m pursuing my Biology degree with an interest in continuing my education in veterinary sciences. Working with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pets as if they were my own. I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away! I'm currently a full-time student and working part-time, so most days I'm not available. However, I am free every Saturday and Wednesday, so I'd be happy to stop in and care for your pets at any time on those days! I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship, and keep you updated with photos so you know they’re happy and safe.

About: My love for animals started early—I actually started my first pet-sitting business in my apartment complex when I was 12, and Pampered Paws turned into one busy summer.! I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have personally cared for two medically needy pets, so I’m comfortable with medications and providing extra care when needed. With my strong background in healthcare, I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely invested in your pet’s wellbeing. I only care for one pet at a time so they receive my full attention, affection, and—of course—plenty of treats. I recently lost my sweet baby calico, Sushi, after many wonderful years together. Caring for animals has always been a meaningful part of my life, and I would be honored to care for your pet with the same patience, love, and devotion I gave my own. I do not work during the weekend and I do not have children so your pet will have my undivided attention. I’m happy to provide plenty of play both indoor and outdoor, based on pet and owner preferences. I live in a quiet neighborhood, no children, and no pets of my own at this time. In your home, I was raised to take off my shoes at the door, respect other people’s homes like my own, and leave everything better than I found it. I am happy to make your time away from home filled with ease knowing your home and your best friend(s) are in great hands.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life. Growing up with them taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand their unique needs and personalities. I have two dogs of my own, so I know the care, attention, and love they need every day. From walks to playtime and cuddles, I make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and truly loved. 🐾 My schedule is currently open, allowing me to provide flexible and reliable care for your pets. I accept boarding during the weekdays, and weekend boarding can be arranged upon discussion due to having pets of my own. I understand how important routine is for animals, and I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s normal schedule. Whether it’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or medication, I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure while in my care. 🐾

“Shelby was great with walking both of my dogs. She was on time, had great communication, easily handled two dogs that both like to pull on the leash, and best of all my dogs really seemed to like her. I’m sure they’re looking forward to their next walk with her.”

About: I've been sharing my life with and caring for fur babies since I was 14. The incredible bond you share with your furry friend is truly one of the most cherished experiences you'll ever have. I would be delighted to care for your fur baby with the same love, care, and compassion I would want for my own. Now that I work from home, I have plenty of time and flexibility. I can take care of my furry friend in the morning, afternoon, or evening. It’s truly wonderful to have this kind of flexibility and the opportunity to care for a loved one. I have a spacious area that is family-oriented and pet-friendly. I'm happy to walk and play with your pets, giving them the attention they need while you're away.

About: We will be taking many walks, trips to the beach, and dog park! Frequent potty breaks, fresh water throughout the day, healthy snacks, and lots of ❤️. I am a school teacher, so I'm off for the summer. I have late afternoons, evenings, and weekends availability year round. Flexible and will sit from your home or ours. Pets will have free run of the house. Will be leashed when walked in the yard, beach, and on walks. Will be allowed off leash at enclosed dog park with permission of owner.

About: I had my own special cat that I took care of his whole life. I have cared for many others since then. I would be glad to care for your kitty cat whenever the need arise. I am an educator, so Saturdays and Sundays are the best time for me to care for pets but in the summertime, I will have much more availability I’m very comfortable with taking care of animals. I will treat them as my own, and I will respect your home as mine whenever I’m there to care for your pet

About: I’ve had a dog by my side since the day I was born. In fact, the only time in my entire life I haven't had a pup around was a single year during college, and that was one year too many. Dogs are a constant in my life, not just a hobby. I have a strong passion for working with disabled and special needs animals. Whether it's managing mobility issues, administering medication, or providing the extra patience required for physical or behavioral challenges, I’m fully committed to that level of care. I’m also very experienced with resource guarding and high energy breeds. I don’t just watch dogs; I work to understand their specific personality and needs so they feel safe and supported. Working from home gives me the flexibility to be truly present and attentive during the week. I am available Monday through Saturday for drop ins, dog walks, vet visits, conditioning sessions, dog transport, or love bombs. I am generally free to help out starting at 2:00 PM on weekdays and have much more open availability on Saturdays. I do not offer services on Sunday. I focus on high quality mobile care for your pups during the week. My priority is being entirely respectful of both your dog’s comfort and your home environment. I understand that every dog has a specific routine and safe space, and I make it a point to maintain that structure to keep stress levels low. You can count on me to be professional and meticulous with your property. I treat every home with the same level of care and respect I’d want for my own. Whether we are out for a walk or hanging out inside, I focus on clear communication and safety so you have total peace of mind.
