Trustworthy animal lover
Pet care experience
I've taken care of dogs since I was in elementary school. I recently got a new shepherd puppy and have been working diligently with her on training.
Reviews
Greg was great with our pup. He was on time and even helped clean up a few messes for us!
I couldn't ask for anyone better to trust my dog with. He has a true passion for animals and it's very apparent in viewing the ownership of his own dog. Regular walks/hikes, obedience classes, play dates and more are always in his schedule for his pup. He keeps a firm hand in her training but won't hesitate to reward good behavior with belly rubs. Gregory also has an incredible work ethic and realizes the importance and responsibility of caring for one's pet. No one is better suited to meet your dogs needs.
Greg is a great, compassionate person. Being a dog dad in his own right, he cares for others' pets with the same enthusiasm and sentiment he shows his pet. He keeps animals engaged with his playfulness, and active with Greg's love of nature and the outdoors. In concurrance with his love for animals, Greg takes his responsibilities seriously, and is dedicated and capable for any task given to him.
They say some people are cat people and some are dog people. While Greg likes all animals, he is definitely a dog person. I have a very feisty terrier mix, named Finn, who is generally wary of new people visiting our house. When I first got Greg to walk Finn, he barked at the door knock, but Greg invited him out and let Finn sniff his shoes and Finn immediately accepted Greg as his new buddy. I don't know if it was Greg's calm demeanor, his gentle voice, his aura, or just the good smell of shoes that go outside often, but Finn bonded with him instantly. I have noticed that Greg uses a calm, but firm voice when giving Finn commands. He checked with me first to see what Finn's rules were and he uses them which makes Finn very easy to handle. Now all I have to say is, "Is Greg coming?" and Finn runs to his window perch to await Greg's arrival. Once his car pulls up Finn's tail goes a mile a minute until he's receiving Greg's hello scratches. I won't use another dog walker than Greg. He's a very nice young man, totally responsible and trustworthy. I've even given him a key so he can walk Finn when I'm not home.

My own shepherd puppy is named Indigo. She is a very social dog who gets along with everyone she meets and receives tons of love at home. She just passed the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen test through our trainer and is a certified good girl.
Information Gregory M. would like to know about your pet
I usually like to know how well the dog gets along with a young energetic puppy that loves to play. Also if it knows the basic commands: sit, come, stay, down, etc.
A typical day
I usually go to Saltwater State Park, Dash Point State Park, Panther Lake and the BPA trail for easy and fun walks in a natural setting.
