I’m a Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) with 7 years of veterinary experience and 1 year working in a pet resort, so I’m skilled at safely handling pets of all temperaments — from nervous pups to the spiciest of cats (I have one of my own!). I’m also experienced with administering medications and providing calm, compassionate care to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

Every pet in my care is treated like family, with plenty of patience, compassion, and attention to their unique needs.

The pets are allowed free range of the house (as long as they are house broken) and the backyard. I feed my dogs twice a day and give them dental sticks once daily, but will follow the feeding/grooming/walking routines your dog is used to.

Albuquerque dog parents share their Rover experiences
Greg is a natural dog whisperer. I was reluctant when I first started using Rover, but I knew that I didn’t want to board my dogs every time I left town. My goal was to find a dog walker with the aspirations of finding a house sitter who could stay with our dogs when we travel. Let’s face it, it’s a total stranger and these are my babies and one of my babies is very particular about strangers. That baby happens to be a 200 pound English Mastiff so it’s hard to find people that want to walk him but also that he trusts. Well, it worked! Greg started walking our Mastiff three times a week prior to housesitting and our dog (s) fell in love with him. It was an easy transition. The housesitting was also a success. 🌈 I’m not going to lie, I gulped at first when I saw how much it would cost for the housesitting. However, when I looked at the cost to board 4️⃣ dogs, have them groomed, pay for the extra playtime bc lets face it, they are in a cage and then multiply it by four-I justified it and put faith in the Universe that it would work out. Greg took care of them as if they were his own. He walked each of them twice a day and played with them. We were able to leave the dogs in their environment, with their routine, their food, I could go on and on. Why Greg is so great: ⏰for starters he’s punctual — always on time. 📱 I love that you can see where they walk and he always takes pictures of the dogs while they’re on their walk and sends them to me. 🐕🐶The dogs love him. I’m going to regret weiting this review bc now he is going to be booked liked crazy, but he deserves the shout out!
