Dog Walking Grant-Valkaria

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was a little girl. I have experience with both dogs and cats from working at the animal shelter for several years. I will take my experience and apply it with my clients in all aspects. I’m also a recent graduate of Florida Tech, currently shadow at Premier Veterinary Care, and am applying for veterinary school. I have a full availability schedule, I’m able to fit your pets needs into my schedule easily! I do visit my hometown in Pennsylvania frequently but do live here permanently. In my clients home, I will strictly follow instructions given by the pet owner, in regards to feeding, medications, exercise, time spent, etc. Also, I will make sure to send photo updates to the client if requested.

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. 😉

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.

“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 provide more than just pet sitting—I create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for every dog in my care, whether puppy or senior. I take the time to understand each dog's unique personality, routine, and needs, so they feel comfortable and at home. My schedule is very flexible as I work from home and if you need overnight care I can bring my laptop and work from anywhere while caring for your pet. I don’t have a fenced in yard but am comfortable walking your pet as often as necessary. In my home, they are in a clean and comfortable environment. In your home, with your instructions, your pets will enjoy their natural environment.

“Samantha was so patient with our Redford! She does a phenomenal job walking him and making sure he’s doing well during the work day for us! I love that she’s provided us with great tips on teaching our puppy how to walk well on the leash. We couldn’t appreciate her more for taking such good care of our little guy. ❤️”

About: From the moment I welcomed Dusty into my life, I’ve understood that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. My experience goes beyond feeding and walking; it’s about creating a safe, joyful environment where pets feel loved and understood. • Hands-on family experience: Caring for Dusty has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and unconditional love. I know how to handle the silly, playful moments as well as the tender, comforting ones. • Celebration of milestones: I believe pets deserve to be part of life’s biggest moments. Dusty has been included in family celebrations, travel adventures, and even our wedding—proof that I’ll treat your pet with the same devotion. • Creative care: Whether it’s making up fun games, capturing adorable photos, or writing playful captions for Dusty’s “Instagram-worthy” moments, I bring creativity and joy to pet care. • Trustworthy and attentive: I understand how much peace of mind matters when leaving your pet with someone new. I’m committed to keeping routines consistent, noticing the little details , and giving regular updates so you feel connected. My schedule allows me to prioritize pet care, whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or last-minute check-ins. Because I’m already caring for Dusty, I’m accustomed to planning my days around feeding, exercise, and playtime. Adding another furry friend feels seamless. I manage my professional responsibilities while keeping time open for meaningful connections—like giving pets the attention they deserve. I know how important routines are for pets, so I make sure my schedule aligns with theirs, not the other way around. Safety first: I follow routines carefully and keep pets secure during walks, play, and rest. Trustworthy care: Clear communication and regular updates give families peace of mind. Loving environment: Pets feel at home with me — nurtured, comfortable, and part of the family.

About: Let me first start off with saying how much I love animals I grew up in 4h an FFA. Growing up I watched all of our family friends pets and house/farm sat for them when they were out of town and I have a lot of references. I offer dog walking, boarding , and in home visits. At home away from home doggie services when your family member is in our home they are treated like our family, welcome to lounge on couch go for walks play in our yard an if they like to swim they are in luck we have a pool and if not they can lay and take a sun bath. Then come in a lounge on couch and watch bluey. This isn’t just a job for me, not just a service it’s my dream. I work from home. Come check out the home away from home doggie services. As I’m sure you will not regret it we do not like to brag but if I was a dog I would definitely be wagging my way to home away from home. Happy paws ❤️ Ps we also send picture updates as requested from mommy or daddy throughout day:) and FaceTimes.

About: 🌟Hi! I’m Kinzee 🩵 I am currently in college earning my associates of science, next to be Vet Tech program! Animal care has been my #1 passion throughout my entire life, it is what has always made me feel most fulfilled! For all 20 years of my life, I have never known life without more than one animal to call a best friend. I have been looking after fur babies for as long as I have had motor skills, taking any and every chance to learn about the care needed to give any animal the happiest life! Building a genuine, lasting bond with the animals I meet is my top goal and what I consider the biggest accomplishment! :) I am working part time, lucky enough to have a VERY flexible and open schedule! Any time of day that works best for you, works best for me :) With 2 cats and 3 dogs, I am very experienced in the care and attention pets need. Trust, respect, and safety are most important to me with every interaction I have with any animal. It is my #1 priority always to show the animal I am engaging with that they can trust me, and that I respect all boundaries they (and parents) have! I completely understand the inevitable stress when trusting somebody with your pets, which is why I always strive to build that bond and provide a safe space for everyone involved :) ✨💜
