Pet care in the High Desert & Palm Springs

Hi, I’m Grant.I’d love to meet
your dog.

Walks, drop-ins, and overnight company from a fellow dog person. Including the shy ones, the anxious ones, and the ones with big feelings.

I’m a High Desert local, photographer, software developer, and the human belonging to Puccini and Risotto. When I’m not making things, I’m usually hanging out with dogs.

Word from the humans

Caroline R.
A happy client.

“Grant is a true dog whisperer who won over my highly reactive Chihuahua and my sensitive rescue pit bull on the very first meeting, which is so rare.”

A little understanding goes a long way

Big feelings?
We can take
our time.

You don’t have to describe your dog as “easy.” Tell me what they’re really like: what worries them, what gets them excited, and what helps them settle.

I have experience with anxious and reactive dogs. We’ll talk through their needs and decide together whether I’m the right fit.

A little more about me

Let’s keep this simple

First, we say hello.

Tell me about your pet.

Your town, the dates you have in mind, and a little about the character I’ll be meeting.

Get acquainted.

We’ll talk through routines, quirks, and care needs, and arrange an introduction that works for us.

Make a plan together.

We’ll confirm availability, the care details, and the price before anything is booked.

The home team

Two very good
reasons I get it.

Puccini and Risotto share my life here in the desert. Your dog has their own world, too. I’d love to get to know it.

Meet the familiar faces

Your dog can come up in conversation. A lot.

Let’s get acquainted.

Choose a 30-minute time to talk about your pet. We’ll confirm care dates and the details together. Prefer to start with a text? I’m right here.
