Dog Walking Grant-Valkaria

About: I grew up in a house with lots of animals, dogs, cats, chickens, even some more exotic ones like iguanas, tarantulas, rats. I have experience with horses, goats and livestock. As well as an associates in Veterinary Technology, along with that comes experience handling and giving medications. I'm currently going back to school for an Environmental Science Bachelors. My dog is also on 2x day walk/ 2x day eating schedule so I am happy to accommodate any special needs! I have a sweet almost 3yr old dog that would happily keep any animal company, a yard to play in and lots of toys. I have multiple crates to accommodate if your pet would prefer to have a safe space. I would love them like my own!

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: 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 been surrounded by animals of all types, from domestic, to farm, to exotic and more since the day I was born. I have extensive experience in animal rescue, rehabilitation, and pet care from various settings, such as vet clinics, animal shelters, farm experience, and more! I am able to care for most types of exotics and all domestics. You can rest assured that while you are away, your fuzzy (or scaly) companions will be safe, happy, and enriched while in my care! You will recieve frequent and detailed updates, photos and videos! I am a free-lance artist who works from home, so I have flexible hours and can drop in as frequently as needed! If your pet is boarding with me, myself and/or my husband (an employee at the county animal shelter) will be home most, if not all hours of the day to keep your furry family company. When visiting a home, my first priority is to get eyes on all pets, especially cats, to make sure everyone is safe and healthy. Next on the list is to provide food, empty and refresh water, and clean litter boxes/take outside to potty. After everyone is fed, watered and had a chance to use the bathroom, I will play and socialize with your animal for 30 minutes to an hour,

About: I've had a lot of experience with administering pet medication and working with puppies. I work my hardest to make sure the pets are comfortable with me and feel safe. I'm fairly flexible and free to start anytime. I'm willing to work around your schedule for any service. Looking mainly for mornings, evenings, or overnights. I make sure to meet every need possible and work around any behavioral issues. Making the space a safe and enriching experience for any animal.

“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’ve dog sat since I was a teenager. Furry four legged babies are the best! Let me know if I can assist in any way. What I lack in reviews, I make up in fun and punctuality. I can offer open availability to help walk, feed, medicate or transport your furry loves. I’d love to chat and see if our schedules work out. I have a fenced yard and two friendly pups to play with. I love walks and would love to help your furry love. Let me entertain your baby!

“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.”

I have allways been a pet lover all around and going up we had anything from dog, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, I even had a 20 gallon tank for my hermit crabs. I will take care of your baby and love them and if they were my own. I currently have two cats and my dog name cryus that is a basset hound pittie mix and my everything. Also have experience with puppies, my parents bred our goldens when I was in high school. We only did two litters but I learned so much from it. I'm currently working full time but we have the entire summer of as my job follows the school system schedule. I am very open to anything you may need. When it comes to safety i am very cautious when all animals. I can crate them if you prefer when I'm not there or what ever if your normal routine i will do that and only that.

“She is absolutely amazing! overall 5 stars! She’s always on time, and loves your fur baby just like her own. it’s always great to see pics of your babies when you’re away and she makes sure to send those! My pupper suffers from a lot of anxiety and he felt right at home with her. I will be a repeat customer ?”

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.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and consider them part of the family. From playful puppies to our beloved seniors, I love them all! I have experience administering medications, giving shots or drops, whatever your pets needs are I am here for them. I only accept one family’s pets at a time for the safety of your pet & ours. I am fortunate to telework most days and have lots of time for dog cuddles. Looking forward to caring for and spending a lot of time with your pup! And who doesn't love walkies, I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks that are perfect for evening walks. I have a securely fenced yard with locked gates and a dog door, so your pup can safely come and go while I keep an eye on them. My 11 month-old Boxer loves sunbathing, chasing squirrels, and relaxing under the oak trees to enjoy the fresh air. Now he's just looking for some buddies to share his time with.

“Astro loved Tina and enjoyed his walk!”

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 currently working part time at Buffalo Wild Wings, usually around 20-25 hours a week, but I will have no problem working around my work schedule to fit your pet into my schedule! 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: I've had pets my entire life. I also cared for the elderly and volunteered with special needs people. I just have a genuine love for those that can't do for themselves. I work for myself and work when I choose to so My availability is typically decoded by what I have booked that week. I can always make changes as needed last minute if need be. Although I don't have a fenced yard I do have a big open yard and over 50 ft long yard stake leashes. I have a Husky of my own and he gets all thw freedom and exercise he needs on his leash as well as the walks around the neighborhood too that I will take them all on.

About: I’m a calm and patient dog caregiver who loves seeing pups truly enjoy their walks. For me, it’s not just about walking—it’s about giving them the time to explore, sniff around, relax, and feel happy without any rush. 🐾 With me, your dog will have safe walks filled with peace, love, and care. ❤️ “I have a flexible job that allows me to dedicate time to caring for dogs. Going out for walks with them is not only a joy for them, but also a way for me to relax and enjoy the moment.” I carefully follow the owners’s instructions to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I like to be aware of what the dog is doing.
