Certified trainer
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Grant. On top of my many years of personal experience caring for pets, I have several years of professional experience caring for animals in a shelter setting as an animal care attendant, dog trainer, behavior coordinator, and veterinary technician. My work has included grooming, walking, cleaning, feeding, training, providing enrichment, and medicating animals. I am a certified dog trainer (CPDT-KA). Most of my professional training experience has been with younger dogs and puppies, but I have trained adult dogs as well. I am particularly interested in working with dogs who are reactive and fearful. I also really enjoy doing trick and agility training; my own dog has earned three trick dog titles from Do More With Your Dog! (I also train cats, they can learn tricks too!) I have cared for and handled dogs of all ages and sizes, from a few days old to 20 years old, 3 pounds to 120+ pounds. I love senior dogs! I have worked with dogs that are rowdy, strong, reactive, stubborn, and/or fearful. I have experience working with dogs and cats who have special medical needs or need medication delivery. I am privately insured in addition to being backed by the Rover guarantee.
Reviews
Highly recommend.
Grant is wonderful, professional, dedicated and goes above & beyond to take care of our fur babies. Really enjoyed and Grant really shows he care.
Grant took great care of my cats, one of whom requires insulin injections, via drop-in visits. I appreciated that he kept me informed on the other cat’s eating habits, and I liked the report cards and pictures. I had been worried that the diabetic cat would be difficult, but Grant was able to befriend him and give him the injections. I will definitely be booking with Grant again.
Grant was punctual and our kitty was well taken care of. We would definitely use Grant’ services again.
About Grant V.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I strive to keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible. I am experienced with approaching new animals and putting them at ease in my presence. Pets in my home are treated like family. I have a large fenced yard and private rooms to keep animals separate for down time if necessary. I typically require client’s dogs to have a successful meeting with my dog before boarding or daycare.

Anything I need to know to keep your pet's routine regular! Favorite treats, toys, walking routes, places to sleep, regular feeding times, etc. Other helpful information: Dog’s leash training experience; reaction to wild animals, cats, strangers, children, and other dogs; pet's specific fears if they have any; any history of medical issues; any food allergies; any medications a pet may need to receive; any other special needs or requests.
A typical day
I enjoy taking dogs on daily long walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch or tug in the backyard, and utilizing interactive enrichment activities like puzzles or snuffle mats.
