Will treat your pet like family.

Pet care experience

***** I'm back, but mainly doing boarding service due to my full time 9 to 5 job from Monday though Friday! I'm usually free after 6pm Friday to Sunday evening for boarding and sitting services. If your pet can handle being left alone for a little over 8 hours I can work with you on providing care on weekdays ***** Hi I'm Gregory, I'm From Brooklyn, NY but been residing in South Florida since I was 2 years old, so I consider myself a Floridian at heart. I have been raised around dogs since I was 5 years old, and actually had a dream to become a veterinarian for exotic animals, til I discovered how much schooling was needed to become one. My parents fed that dream, by allowing me to raise various species of pets, ranging from reptiles, fish, dogs, cats, and various types of rodents. I'm currently the parent of a Miniature Schnauzer named Zoë that I share the parenting responsibilities with my two partners (I'm in a closed throuple relationship) and can guarantee I treat your furry companion with the utmost respect and professionalism that I would expect from my own dog walker and/or pet sitter. I unfortunately won't be able to start any services for new clients without first having a complimentary meet and greet. Meet and greets gives us both an opportunity to assess if your fur baby, and I, are a good fit for each other, as well as gives us a formal way of declining if any of us aren't comfortable with the situation during the meet and greet in any way. Meet and greets also gives me an opportunity to give you a detailed explanation of all my services. If booking boarding or sitting services it also allows you to give detailed care instructions and allows you to tour my home where your fur baby will be staying if boarding as well as to be sure that your fur baby and my daughter Zoë we'll get along just fine. If for some reason there's a bit of aggression, or if a pet is shy, or a bit fearful, I am willing to do multiple complementary meet and greets to help pets warm up, if requested, and necessary. Although if no progress is met during multiple meet and greet attempts I unfortunately won't be able to move onto doing pet services for you. When requesting walks, and drop in visit services, please give a specific time, or a window of time that you like the service to be within, so I can look at my schedule see if I'm able to even accommodate, and to check that your requested time, or window doesn't conflicts with a pre-booked service, and may ask if modifications are possible, in a an attempt to try and accommodate your service if it does happen to conflict. When requesting boarding, and sitting services please also include the time you'd like the service to start along with the time that the service will be ending to better help me plan my schedule. Boardings and sittings can start as early as 12 midnight on the day of, and can end at 11:59pm on the end date so long as I don't have any upcoming services or bookings that overlap and conflict. I usually take on 8 to 15 services a day but when doing boarding and sitting services in an effort to be with your pet most of the time I usually have a lighter schedule and don't take on as many services if booked well in advance. To coordinate a meet and greet just let me know what days and times work well for you, and if they happen to conflict with any of my services, I may ask to see if the time can be modified to be pushed bit earlier, or later, and we'd be able to make it work from there. I rarely take days off so meet and greets typically happen between large gaps within my daily schedule. I am not limited to dogs and cats and can't take on other species so long as there are clear care instructions and that I'm not put in any dangerous situations. Hope you have a pawssome rest of your day and look forward to hearing from you!🐕‍🦺🐩🦴🐕🐾🐈🧶

Logan and Levi are always happy and relaxed when I pick them up from their time with Gregory. He is a great care taker to our huge senior dogs. 11/10 every stay.

We have been using Greg to care for our dog Emma for 3 years and can’t say enough about how much we appreciate him. We also recently got a cat and he cares for her just as well. Our animals are well taken care of, get plenty of pictures, and our athletic dog gets tons of dog park time. We use him every time we travel!

Greg always takes amazing care of our animals. He is a pleasure to work with. Couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter.

Gregory is simply the best. He and his family do an amazing job taking care of our two older dogs. He attends to their physical and emotional needs. I know the dogs are kept busy when they are with him. As we know, a tired dog is a happy dog and my boys definitely come home tired with big doggy grins.

That rate of $25 a night per adult pup, and $35 a night for pups under a year for boarding and sittings, is a trade off of being able to still do services for my walk and check in clients while still being able to guarantee your requested walks and feedings, and if doing a sitting at your home it must have a place for me to sleep. It's like my headquarters, to rest and eat, become your home during the booking. If a client has a pet that requires constant looking after with no interruptions, due to old age, or medical concerns that cannot be left alone, they would just have to contact me at least a month-and-a-half notice so I can find accommodations for my regularly scheduled clients services, and the rate goes up to $75 a night per pup if a client would need that particular uninterrupted service. If you're not able to provide a place for me to rest, then you'd have to book each individual walk or drop-in visit per pet. The sitting and boarding option does include unlimited walks drop-in visits feedings along with medication and vitamin administration. I have two walk options, $18 mandatory 30 min walk geared towards fitness & $14 drop in visit. Drop in visit: A drop in visit can either be (1) A 20 min walk.(2) A bathroom break, either as a walk, or a let out in a yard that end once the pups go number one and two, or when 20 min has been reached, whichever comes first. (3) It can be 30 min let out in a yard either supervising or actively playing with the pups. Backyard drop in are 30 min due to the less physical activity and space compared to 20 min walk or bathroom walk drop ins. (Option 2 clients usually pick if they have breeds that can't handle rigorous or long periods of activity as well as pups that are elderly or may have health concerns.) All my services include refreshment of water and if requested vitamin/medication administration and feedings. The farthest you can book the more likely I will be able to accommodate. I have been known to do last min bookings but, are usually hit or miss and have become rare as of lately with the amount of clients I have.

Information Gregory T. would like to know about your pet

Will your pet need medication or vitamin administration? This is included with all services along with feedings so long as it is requested. Refreshment of water is automatically included for a walk and drop-in visit services. Any triggers to stay away from, bikes, skateboards children's, other dogs, squirrels, lizards, ect? Is your pet house broken? If not please pick puppy rate regardless of Age. If you happen to have a puppy under a year that is not destructive and can hold their bladder for 6 to 8 hours you can pick the standard rate. Where can I find cleaning supplies, if I stumble upon an accident in your home? Is your pet comfortable with wet grass and rain? If your pet is not comfortable with rain what will be the alternative for a walk service if it happens to rain and a walk is not possible? Where can I find a towels if we happen to get caught in the rain?

A typical day

I'm a strong believer that a happy pup is a tired pup and try to incorporate a lot of physical activity so long as your breed can handle and doesn't have any health concerns. I have a number of dog parks that I have access to that I am able to bring your pup if requested during their stay if boarding. For meet-and-greets for boarding and sitting services please let me know as much detail as possible about your fur babies daily routines so I can do my best to keep them within those routines.

I do this full time and purposely keep my rates way below the South Florida pet care market in an effort to help those that normally can't afford these type of services. 95% of my clients tip 15% to 20% per service but, it not necessary or expected. The clients that are not use to getting exceptional services like mine so cheaply, usually tip excessively, to where it covers those that can't.
