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 was fantastic! Would 100% book again. Perfect on communication with lots of updates and multiple pictures throughout the day. He also loved our dog as his own and took long walks twice a day. And took him wherever he went in the car with our dog’s safety in mind with a doggy seat belt. They never walked in the same place so there were always new smells.
This was Sierra’s first time with Greg—she is usually a little anxious in new situations but settled in very quickly with him. He understands dogs and he knew exactly how to make Sierra comfortable and at ease. He sent us multiple photos every day and updated us frequently. We were able to enjoy our trip with no worries about how she was getting along. We’ll definitely book Greg again!
We could not be happier with the care Greg gave our very energetic young Aussie! He walked her at least twice daily and sent many pictures every day to let us know how she was doing. We are grateful she was with such a caring dog sitter.
Thank you Greg! The absolute best.
Outstanding stay. Gregory was very thorough and asked plenty of questions before the stay in order to make sure my dog Emma had a great time. Gregory took great pictures of my dog while I was away and he kept her very active. Clean home and a great backyard for dogs of any size. 100% my first choice for future bookings.
He's awesome. Not only was he a great sitter but he's got to be a photographer. I received plenty of great pictures of my happy puppy getting lots of exercise. I would recommend Gregory.

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.
