Information Grant K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or attention - I will do everything to accommodate them! Me watching your dog will be a vacation for them and a stress-free experience for you.

A typical day

tell me what your dog likes - I’m game. We can go for run, walk along the river, go on a hike, look for squirrels, whatever you like. I’m high energy myself and so is my own dog. Rough house on the floor? Play tug of war? You name it!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Grant - my wife and I are huge dog lovers. In April of 2025, we lost our first dog, Moose, a 90lb golden retriever mix. To honor his memory, we began a fostering journey. We successfully fostered out 5 dogs (3 of them seniors) to their forever homes over the next year (including the 5th one, who became our own!). We are aquatinted with all kinds and sizes with dogs. It’s been an honor to get to know each one and explore their unique personalities! We currently have 2 dogs of our own at home: Ellie, a 3yo petite Great Pyrenees, and Charlie, a 2yo Australian Shepherd. They LIVE for playing with other dogs - we’d love to host your pup and provide them a happy, fun, safe space to stay while you are away. Do you have a big dog? Are you anxious about it pulling your dog walker? I’ve got experience with large dogs pulling and I can handle yours. I will give them the distance and space they need to have a happy and safe walk. I get anxious when we have others look after our dogs. Anything could happen. Know that I will bring every bit of care and safety to your dog that I bring to mine every day. They’re valuable members of your family and I will treat them as such. Please reach out with any questions. Thank you!

Grant took really good care of my pup I really appreciated. He sent me a lot of pics throughout the day and always keep me updated. Im glad that my pup had a good time and had a company to play with. I def recommend Grant!

Honestly grant was the greatest river we could find. He was communicative, sweet to our pup, followed directions and even went the extra mile to ask us to try new things with him. I will definitely be using grant again if available! 10/10, 5/5 stars, 100%!
