Highlights
Pet care experience
All dogs love the Placer PackLife!
There is an old story of parents telling their children that they had to send their dog to a place in the country to live out the rest of their lives (when they were at the end of theirs). It was a happy place, where they get to run across fields, play with other dogs, and live happily ever after. Now, this is not "Dog heaven", but it's pretty close. Please read, just a few, of my reviews... In addition to 7 years of dog-boarding experience, I have fostered around 100 dogs for Foothill Dog Rescue of the Sierras. We take dogs from high-kill shelters in the central valley, rehabilitate them, and place them for adoption. So your dog will help me rehabilitate the dogs that I foster. At the same time, helping your dog with his/her socialization. So no matter what your dog(s) are like, all tend to fit in, and thrive, here. From the meet & greet, to the pack interaction, and from all the pictures and updates, you will know that you need not worry about how your best friend is doing. In fact, several of my more enthusiastic clients, show displeasure when leaving (like children leaving summer camp). Please look through my profile pictures- you will see how my pack spends it's day, and what your dog(s) will experience! Dogs are my (photo) muse. I will send frequent, and sometimes, great pictures of your dog enjoying the country life. Let your best friend spend your next absence in a fun, well balanced pack. Your dog will have acres of oak-covered foothills to explore, with a professionally supervised, pack of dogs. Return from your next absence, to a VERY HAPPY and tired dog. Arrange a Meet & Greet today! I am here most of the time. And on the rare times I do, there is always a pack of dogs here to keep themselves company. There is a dog door, so the they can go in and out at will, to a large yard. They can be crated at night, or sleep on dog beds.

Ratings and reviews
We have used Grant many times for dog sitting. He is always communicative, responsible and caring towards our pup! Excellent service!
Grant was great. Lola spent 3 weeks with him and it looked like she had the time of her life! --tons of exercise and dog company! Grant sent us much appreciated pictures consistently throughout the time we were away. Highly recommend... and we will be back!
Always a great stay with Grant!! Thanks so much.
Grant takes the stress off of us when we leave our pups and we love that he updates us on how they are doing....thank you!!
Thank you Grant for taking care of Haley I know she had a time of her life! I can highly recommend Grant for dogs that love the outdoors and for being part of a lovable pack. Haley bonded with Grant and his dogs immediately. And I also appreciated getting all the pictures seeing my baby smile from ear to ear!
Grant knows exactly what he is doing. I am starting the process of socializing my dog, and he took her on and gave me excellent feedback. He sent both pictures of her, and his impressions of her progress, throughout her stay. When I picked her up she was comfortable and at ease with Grant, but most importantly, she was at ease with herself. She was not hyper to leave immediately, nor sporting any kind of "hang dog" demeanor. Unfortunately, I have seen both those reactions from her, from stays that did not suit her. I contacted Grant specifically for his expertise and his guidance with my dog. I am so glad I did!! There are a lot of people on Rover that claim to know dogs, few actually do. Grant is the exception.

Schedule
This is my life now. I am always here on the property, with the dogs. So, you don't have to worry about your dog(s) ever being alone.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced property, but rely on dog's natural desire to remain with the pack. The dogs live with me in, but mostly, around my home, Spending most of the time outside.
Pets
A typical day
There are numerous, extended walks or runs (after the golf cart or Gator) around the 5 acres of fenced property, throughout the day, as well as hours of dog-play, tennis ball chasing. All placerpack-mates are exercised, played with, til their heart's content. I recently had 2 dogs here, that were equipped with electronic tracking collars, unbeknownst to me. They both averaged over 10 miles per day. Then it's home for rest, relaxation, and caring, loving attention til evening We always go for a short, at least, walk after dinner... Regardless of your dogs level of fitness, my goal is to return to you, a happy and tired dog. Moms & Dads often tell me it takes a couple of days to "recover" from a dog's time in the PackLife. NOTE: Your dog will be living a country, "ranch", PackLife. Country hazards like, blackberry thorns, fox tails (grass seeds), pollen allergies, wire fencing, and various other "country dangers" are around. Of course, I will do everything I can to prevent any health issues for your dog, but you need to understand there are inherent risks to "the country life".
