Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs are perfectly unique
Have had multiple family dogs in our home, between 2 to 4 at a time, for 25 years. Have raised puppies and cared for all of our senior dogs. Able to discern dogs needs based off of their maturity and energy levels. Enjoy walking dogs in parks and on trails. Experienced with walking up to 4-large breed dogs at a time and providing mentoring on how to walk together; dog & person. My approach is that it's the dog's walk, to sniff, explore, enjoy nature, while maintaining our goal to walk for exercise. I'm also experienced with handling dogs at Dog Parks, if that's an desired option. I'm within a short walking distance from Madera Park, which provides a convenient and safe place for walks. I also like driving to other parks to provide variety for both pets and me. New places, new smells, new adventures. My home is dog friendly and open for play or snoozing. My backyard is securely fenced and provides sun or shaded areas. Dogs have been a way of life for me and my goal is to provide your dog with nurturing care, a home away from home, whether it's for a walk or an extended stay. I am home around the clock, so your pet will have company and someone to attend to their needs. I can provide your dog with their meals along with any supplements or medications required.

Ratings and reviews
Gregory takes great care of our dog, Baxter. We appreciate his responsiveness and flexibility. We know that Baxter is in good hands with Gregory.
Gregory is amazing! He is very flexible, trustworthy and experienced pet sitter. I can trust him with my dog reactive doggy. He updates us with photos, and takes my babies on a whole adventure 2-3x a day. They are so happy, calm, and relaxed when we get them back. Will always go with Gregory when we travel!
Greg is awesome! Provides plenty of walks and outings with our dog. He was very flexible when we needed to change our drop-off time. He communicates very well and sends lots of photos!
Greg was awesome. We had an accident two days before our trip that required a vet visit. So we had last minute complications that Greg easily accommodated. Both our dogs are a little shy but Greg slowly won them over. Greg is very observant of dog behavior/cues and knows when to be patient with a dog.
Wonderful, active sitter that kept our two high-energy pups entertained! Loved that he provided us with a bunch of pictures and updates throughout their stay. Will definitely book again!

Schedule
I am home around the clock and enjoy walking dogs multiple times a day, weather permitting. I arrange my day based off of the needs of the dog(s) I'm caring for. Priorities being timely meals, potty breaks, walks. Dogs are fun and going out with them never disappoints.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home's property is securely fenced with a locked gate. There's sun and shaded areas in the yard for dogs that like to roam and lounge outdoors. For couch potato pups, the house is dog friendly. It's okay to hop on the couch or select any available dog bed, or bring your own. I have safe play dog toys available, too. I can provide an area for your crate, if you desire to crate your dog at night for rest.
A typical day
A typical day begins with getting out of the house for an early morning walk to the park. Allowing the dogs to start their day off with some freedom of movement, sniffing around, doing their business and burning off some of their early energy. I love doing the same towards the end of the day, whether it be a walk or a trip to the dog park. Most dogs love 'going' for a walk, a ride & walk or dog park adventure. Playing fetch with their favorite ball or tug-a-war with a toy in the backyard is fun too.

- It's important to get feedback from pet parents about many things. The level of the dog's socializing skills with other dogs, whether it be on leash or off. Any triggers that excite or cause anxiousness help to avoid or be prepared for different situations. The dog's tendencies and how they communicate their needs. How adept the dog is at giving, receiving and processing 'dog language' when around familiar or new dogs. The typical behavior the dog might exhibit around new people and if the dog is friendly or even experienced with children. Is the dog a fan of water and loves getting wet or just the opposite. The type of setting the dog feels most comfortable with for mealtime, day-time snoozes and sleeping at night. Any known do's or don'ts the pet parent can provide are valuable nuggets.
