Dog Walkers in Grant-Valkaria, FL

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. 😉

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,

“Micheile was great. She took extra time to get to know Zelda and let her get over her initial shyness. Michelle also asked lots questions about Zelda regarding things that would make Zelda feel more comfortable. I would definitely recommend Michelle and I will use her again in the future.”

About: I've taken care of and had dogs my entire life. 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'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.

About: I grew up in a busy household with seven siblings, along with two cats and two dogs, so caring for animals was part of my everyday life from an early age. As one of only two boys in the family, I often took on the responsibility of handling the more hands-on tasks, like feeding, cleaning, walking, and making sure our pets stayed happy and healthy. Neighbors quickly noticed how comfortable and reliable I was with animals, and I began helping them with pet care and housesitting as well. What started as helping out around the neighborhood turned into a steady source of income throughout high school and college. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets and situations, and I genuinely enjoy the responsibility. Pet care never felt like a chore to me — it’s something I’ve always loved doing, and I take pride in making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. As a college student, I crafted my schedule around Tuesdays and Thursdays. I don't have anything on Mon-Wed-Fri. Plus, weekends are off. I work 6-8 pm Mondays through Thursdays. I have a fenced-in backyard, I love going on walks, and I have years of experience giving cats or dogs medicine. Whatever your animal needs, I'm sure I can do it!

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 taken care of cats, dogs, bunnies, ducks and more and I have some of my own. I love animals and am super flexible with my schedule! I currently just graduated high school and I’m starting insurance sales so a job like petsitting allows me to multitask what I need to while still being able to perform what needs to be performed while petsitting:) I do have other pets where I live so I’m not super comfortable having pets in my home depending on what the animal is.

About: I have cared for pets for more than 18 yrs in both Fla and New England. Always willing to travel with you or to your home. I am able to schedule pet sits in advance as needed. Always reliable loving and caring and aware of pets needs. I love the pets. I offer care in your home as well as water plants etc. I will do whatever is asked of me to do for the pets and the families.

About: • Lifelong experience with dogs & cats • Comfortable with different temperaments • Good with routines, meds, and special instructions • Natural “pet-person” energy — animals warm up to me fast Hi!
