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.

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!
Gregory takes great care of Baxter - plenty of walks and attention. We receive lots of pictures of Baxter throughout his stays. We are confident that Baxter is well cared for while we are away. Gregory is also very flexible and responsive. Thank you!
Dear Gregory, Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Chase while we were away. From the moment we got back, it was clear he was happy, healthy, and well-loved during his time with you. What really meant the world to us was how often you kept us updated. Between the notes, photos, and videos you sent, we always felt like we were right there with him. We especially loved getting your updates from his walks — seeing him out exploring and having a good time made us smile every single time. Being away from Chase is never easy, and honestly, we missed him a lot. Your updates made that distance so much more bearable. It gave the whole family real peace of mind knowing he was in such caring, attentive hands. We can't thank you enough for everything you did. We'd trust you with Chase again in a heartbeat, and we're so grateful to have found you. With gratitude, Sid
Gregory was absolutely amazing with my dog. He kept me well informed of how my dog was doing throughout the visit and provided me photos that reassured me that my dog was happy and having a great time. Gregory was also very mindful of my dogs special needs and always took those into consideration while he was watching him. I will definitely be boarding my pup with him again. It was a wonderful experience for both of us and I’m grateful to have found such an amazing and caring Dog Sitter.
Gustav had such a great time with Greg. So much so that he climbed back into his truck and didn’t want to leave! 😅. Greg sent a lot of photos and updates through the day. He’s got a nice backyard for the pups to hang out in and takes them for long walks. Will definitely be bringing Gus back for another stay.
Greg is an amazing caregiver. He spoils my dog so much. Bring her to him is a treat for her. There is a lot of peace of mind knowing she will have multiple daily walks, a regular routine and loving care. This time my flight was delayed and I couldn’t pick up at the set time. Greg was understanding and super accommodating. He helped make a tough situation so much less stressful. Highly recommend!!

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.

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.
