I already want to pet your dog/cat!
Pet care experience
Mid-30's professional who relocated to Tampa from Orlando in August '23. Located in northwest Hillsborough County currently. Will treat your dog and/or cat with the exact care and treatment you request. Love the outdoors and thrive off of dogs who like to play fetch or go for a swim. Patient with walking and having the dog understand they walk at the side WITH me, not pulling or tugging the entire way; while free to explore. Dogs: I have had dogs nearly my entire life (30+ years) since childhood (Beagle as family dog in my youth, then a Lab mix in my 20's & 30's). Both dogs found their forever homes with myself for 12+ years respectively. Additionally, I have previously lived with roommates' large breed dogs, as well as regularly performed dog-sitting and walking duties for a range of dog breeds from Jack Russell mixes to American Bulldog / Staffordshire Bull Terriers. Cats: I have had cats in my life for 10+ years and lived with multiple cats at once which has allowed me to immerse myself in the unique dynamic each individual cat can have (was also a great way to completely overcome past-childhood allergies and become a dog person who quickly came to consider himself a cat lover as well).
Reviews
Greg Voda is a dependable person that loves animals. His own, others and strays. Multiple times I've had Greg dog sit for me while I'm out of town. He always takes excellent care of my pets. My dogs are practically my kids and I wouldn't trust my dogs with just anyone. Greg has endless empathy and care for animals and always does what's best for them.
Greg is a kind and compassionate animal lover. He encompasses everything a person would want in taking of their pet. He is trustworthy and dependable. No better choice!
I highly recommend Greg as a trustworthy dog watcher for your furry friend. He took care of my high energy Labrador in the past and provided consistent updates during it's stay. We also had dog play dates together with his beagle at the time who was well trained and great with dogs. Greg has proven himself to be reliable, attentive, and caring. Definitely recommend! 🐶
Greg has always had dogs or cats for pets since he was a child. He is very compassionate and loves to spend time playing and caring for them. He will be someone you can count on to take care of pet while you're away.

As I would be in the clients home caring for their companion animal I would abide by what the client wants in order to meet the dog or cats needs. I would aim to minimize any separation anxiety your animal would have so that my service is worthwhile and valued.
Information Greg V. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog or cat has aggression towards strangers and schedule an introductory meeting prior to see how the animal does with you normally.
A typical day
I will typically ask the owner what is the dog’s chosen path they like to go on for walks and what activities both inside and outside the home are their favorites. The dog/cat can be right by my side getting petted or I am happy to mentally stimulate the animal with games and favorite pet toys.
Services
Greg can watch in your home
Availability
I am open on weekdays and evenings, as well as on weekends depending on agreed advance notice. I don't have anything that would regularly take me out of the Tampa-area on either weekdays or weekends.
