Pet care experience

Safe Hands, Happy Tails!

I grew up with dogs and cats and have cared for pets of all sizes since I was young. Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me with their beloved animals. As an educator, I bring the same patience, responsibility, and genuine care to your furry family members that I do to my students daily. I understand routines matter, communication is key, and every pet has their own personality. Whether it’s a high energy pup who needs adventure or a senior dog requiring gentle care, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I have flexibility during summers, school breaks, and weekends. Your pet will always be in dependable hands

Greg is the best! We’ve entrusted him with our precious Gigi. He’s the best. Very reliable, is always willing to help us in a pinch and our Gigi loves him very much. He loves all dog and they love him too! He has been our dog walker for the past 15 years! He also has watched our dog while on vacation.

Greg is an incredible dog walker, and I honestly can’t recommend him enough. He takes such amazing care of my 100-pound Bernedoodle, handling him with total confidence, patience, and genuine love. It’s obvious how much Greg truly cares about dogs—my dog absolutely adores him and gets so excited every time Greg shows up. Knowing how attentive, reliable, and kind Greg is gives me complete peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like his own, Greg is the best there is.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a safe, clean home with a fenced yard perfect for playtime. Your pet will be treated like family with routines, plenty of attention, and updates with photos. I follow all care instructions carefully and can administer medications if needed. Whether at my home or yours, I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness above all else.

Pets

A typical day

I make sure every pet gets attention that fits their personality. High-energy dogs get plenty of playtime and walks, while the more laid-back ones enjoy cuddles and gentle play. I love mixing in puzzle toys and treats to keep things interesting. Cats get dedicated play sessions with their favorite toys. Most importantly, your pet gets quality time and companionship. You’ll get pictures throughout so you can see they’re happy and well-cared for.

Please share your pet’s daily routine, any medical needs or medications, and their personality quirks. It helps to know their energy level, how they are with new people, and any fears or behavioral things I should watch for like if they’re an escape artist or get anxious. The more details you give me upfront, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy.
