Pet care experience

I'd love to get to know your dog!

My name is Greg, and I've spent the last eight years as part of a multi-species household. We started with two Yorkshire Terriers — Barkley and his mate Eva — who eventually blessed our family with a child of their own. When my wife Sarah first brought Barkley home, I tried to pretend I was on the fence about it. In reality, it was one of the most exciting days of my life. We've since said goodbye to Barkley and Eva, and now their child, Mutombo, is the resident elder. We've also added Tiger, a two-year-old cat the vet recently called "the healthiest cat on the block" — which I will be quoting at every opportunity. I share all of this because eight years of caring for animals has taught me something I take seriously: the quality of care matters. The food matters. The rhythm matters. The attention matters. When your dog or cat is with me, they're not boarded — they're part of the household. They're treated the way I'd want my own pets treated when I'm away. I pay attention to the small things — appetite, energy, mood, sleep, the way they move through a new space. If something seems off, I'll let you know. If everything's great, I'll send you a photo anyway. We can't wait to meet your loved one(s).

I appreciated being able to do a meet and greet with Greg before booking. He has a very calm and pleasant demeanor, and I knew Bear would be in good hands. It was also nice to receive a recap and some videos at the end of his stay. We will use Greg again!

Greg was incredibly professional and friendly during our conversations. I had special diet needs for my pups and he was very accommodating without issue. I would definitely use Greg for any pet sitting needs again and recommend him to anyone else.

Schedule

I work at the University of Dayton full time Monday through Friday. So I take care of everyone before I leave, and once I return. From May to August is a different story, as I work typical 8am-5pm shifts. I care for everyone's needs while building rapport and watching for social queues or any other character details I can find. I try to be flexible with drop-off/pickup times. Just send me a request, I can be flexible.

Safety, trust & environment

Your loved ones will not be left neglected, or in a hostile setting. We have a clean home, and our children also understand/ love animals. Rest assured I am always looking out for potential hazards, or anything that would make them uncomfortable. Meet & Greets are great, because then I have time to get your perspective on their personality or what life is like at home.

Pets

A typical day

We have many parks and open areas for recreation within walking/ driving distance from our home. We live in a safe and secure neighborhood so we intend to take 30 minute walks around the area with your permission of course. I love to play and coach basic tricks/skills.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Gregory can host up to 4 pets per night
My only request is to be aware of any quirks your loved one(s) may have such as aggressive temperament around other dogs, sensitive areas they don't like to be touched, any traumatic experiences they may have been through, and any allergies or other health conditions to be mindful of.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
