My Gretel (GSP) was my best friend.
Pet care experience
I get dogs. Often I feel closer to my dog than my human friends. I pay attention and give them what they need. Water, food, exercise, love and always bathroom breaks.
Reviews
My boxer Violet loves Gregory! She knows when I pick up her leash we are headed to his house for adventure! He is extremely patient with her, as she can be a bit naughty around other dogs when she is on a leash. He takes care to lead her away from what would otherwise be a stressful situation for her. He is kind, thoughtful, and caring. Violet and I cherish him.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a small fenced yard between my house and garage. I can allow the dog to come and go once I know it's comfortable. In front of my house is a creek and park and concrete paths going miles both east and west along the creek. I like to walk a couple times a day and try for at least an hour a day. I crate trained my puppy but left it open mostly after initial training as she knew it was her place. We did training and exercise everyday for around an hour and as she grew I was able to have her come sit next to me by tapping my leg or calling her, including let her run for miles in the country and she always came because we trusted each other. I didn't originally let her sit on furniture and never beg at table, though as she was older I let her on the couch and the end of the bed. I took her on trips for work and hiking and other adventures. I was always able to leave her bowl out with food and she'd eat when she wanted. I will follow whatever the pet owner lays out. I believe pets that have a routine need that when the owner is away and will respect it whether strict or not.
Home
Information Gregory P. would like to know about your pet
The main things I want to know about the dog ahead of time is what is the personality, training and the dogs routine. So this will span from age to feeding, bathroom, exercise and rest schedule. Also, socialization with other dogs and animals. This is a short list, though I also need to know of the dog has any known social issues with animals or people and any special needs or medications.
A typical day
I find dogs need love and attention, exercise, water and food, bathroom breaks and rest. I like to do walks, jogs, runs with dogs. I have even done roller blading and biked with mine with leash and without where appropriate and acceptable. I like dog parks too as well as letting them get down to the creek by me to explore.
