SW Suburb Lovin' Dog Dad!

Pet care experience

$20 for first-time bookers! Your Promo Code: GRANTS01745 Hello! My name is Grant, I'm a writer and creative marketing guy who works remotely, am a huge, season-ticket-holding Cubs fan, gay-friendly, and I absolutely love dogs! I have over 16 years experience caring for my own dogs and I'm one of the best Dog Dads out there! I enjoy dogs more than people sometimes, no offense, LOL, and I've always loved dog walking, pet sitting, reinforcing training techniques as instructed by owners (and teaching my own dogs), and playing with man and woman's best friends! I would love to meet you and your best friend, and I hope to have that opportunity to make your life a little easier by letting me take great care of your little guy or gal!

It was great having Grant watch Maisey for the weekend. It was the first time we ever left her with someone other than family and it was fantastic. We really felt comfortable leaving her with Grant ❤️

When we met Grant, we had absolutely no apprehension about being away from our dogs for the first time. It is clear that he is a dog lover like us, and our shepard collies loved him immediately. He kept us up to date on what they were doing when we were away, and sent us pictures and movies. He is a warm and kind person as well. What more could you ask for?

Loved, loved, loved Grant. He took care of my two dogs over the holidays. He was attentive to them, provided regular updates and reached out when there was a concern with one of my dogs. Would hire him again in a second!

Where to begin? Grant has done an amazing job taking care of my Bobbi girl, a growing German Shepard that’s a bundle of energy and who doesn’t always listen—but thanks to Grant’s calming energy, she has chilled out a lot and he even helps her practice some commands that Bobbi learned with a trainer! Bobbi loves to take a dip in the pool during the summer months, and Grant will jump in with her, playing fetch with her favorite ball! Bobbi always looks exhausted and smiley when I return home after a trip, so I know, along with the daily videos and photos Grant will send me, that my girl has been in great hands when I’m away. I had to take an unexpected two-week trip recently, and Grant was on the case with two days notice. Bobbi is used to Special Sundays where I will cook up a steak for her (which I make last a few days along with some rice and kibble), and Grant has cooked for Bobbi, too, going the extra mile to make her happy! Thanks Grant, hope this review helps you make other dog owners as happy as you’ve made me and my Bobbi!

I'm happy to play with your dog inside or outdoors, in your yard, or drive to the nearest park to get some great exercise and Vitamin D! A happy dog is a tired dog, and my plan would be for the dog to have a full day of fun and exercise! If your dog has a pal or two, or a day care you like to drop your dog off at where he or she has some buddies they like to play with, I'm willing to drop your snuggle bear off for a few hours, etc., to break up the monotony of being at home. Whatever I can do to match your dog's usual routine -- let me know -- and we'll make it happen!

Information Grant S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs related to diet, exercise, or medication, any sounds they are afraid of, and any breeds that may trigger them positively or negatively if we come across other furry friends in the park, for example! Tell me about your very best day with your pet, and I'll try to mimic that each time I come over!

A typical day

I love to play with dogs (and cats), whether it be with their favorite toys, playing fetch, or running and chasing them (or having them chase me...) around the house or yard (if fenced in of course!). I can drive your pet to their favorite park, jump in your pool if they like to swim, give them lots of hugs and belly rubs, a few treats, too, if they're allowed (!), and just make the day all about them. Because you know when you have a pet, it's always all about them, ha, so you gotta lean in and make them happy!

Tell me more about your pet and how I can tailor my time to make them happy and take the very best care that they are accustomed to! I can walk your dog 3 to 4 times daily and feed the pet according to your requirements. I am used to cooking for my dog, with a small kibble supplement, so if for example, you would love me to cook up some chicken with vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, I can do that if you have the budget to accommodate purchase of the ingredients!
