14+ Years Pet Care Experience

Hi! I’ve worked in professional pet care for over 14 years through Petco and PetSmart, where I gained extensive hands-on experience working with both dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. While I’m not a certified trainer, I’ve completed multiple courses focused on dog behavior, handling, and training techniques. I’m especially comfortable with energetic dogs, shy or anxious pets, puppies, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I also have experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs, including timid cats, high-energy cats, seniors, and cats that may need extra patience and attention while their owners are away. Safety, patience, and communication are extremely important to me. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure owners feel updated and comfortable while their pets are in my care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, feeding, playtime, or just extra attention while you’re away, I’d love to help!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I understand how important it is to trust someone in both your home and with your pets. I care for my own senior cat with patience, consistency, and close attention to comfort and routine, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I watch. I believe pets feel safest when their normal routine is respected, so I always take the time to learn their preferences, personalities, and needs. Whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, medication, feeding schedules, or simply giving them space to feel comfortable, I treat every animal with kindness and respect. My goal is to make your pets feel secure and cared for while giving you peace of mind that your home and animals are being looked after responsibly and compassionately.

We have three energetic dogs, so finding reliable care is never easy. From the first meeting, I could tell they were experienced and patient with dogs of all personalities. Our dogs were exercised, fed on schedule, and treated like family. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking again.

Leaving my cat Luna with someone new always makes me nervous, but the care she received was absolutely amazing. I got regular updates, photos, and could tell Luna felt comfortable and relaxed the entire time. When I came home, she was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend their cat care services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring.

I highly recommend Grant as a pet caregiver. He is incredibly responsible, patient, and genuinely loving with animals, fish, lizards and bugs! His natural ability with any pets, combined with his knowledge of pet training, makes him someone animals quickly trust and feel comfortable around. He is kind, attentive, and always go above and beyond to ensure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Any pet would be lucky to be in his care.
