Your Paws' Best Friend

Pet care experience

What sets my pet sitting, dog walking, and dog training services apart from others is a combination of my extensive experience, specialized skills, and commitment to the well-being of pets. With 8 years of running a professional pet care business, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every pet care assignment. My specializations include administering medications, which ensures that pets with medical needs receive the proper care and attention they require. Moreover, I hold Fear Free certification, demonstrating my dedication to reducing stress and anxiety in pets during their interactions with me. This certification reflects my commitment to creating a positive and comfortable experience for every pet. As a positive reinforcement dog trainer, I use science-based methods to encourage desired behaviors in dogs, making training sessions effective and enjoyable for both pets and their owners. My in-depth understanding of dog and cat behavior allows me to tailor my care to the unique needs and personalities of each animal, ensuring their safety and happiness at all times. In essence, my extensive experience, specialized skills, and genuine passion for animals set me apart as a trusted and compassionate pet sitter, dog walker, and dog trainer. Your pets' well-being is my top priority, and I'm dedicated to providing them with the highest level of care and attention.

I recently had the privilege of entrusting my beloved furry companions to Greta's care, and I couldn't be more delighted with the experience. From the moment I contacted Greta, I was impressed by her professionalism and dedication. She demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise in every aspect of pet care, which immediately put me at ease. Not only did she provide top-notch care for my cats and dog, but She also went above and beyond to ensure my pet's comfort and well-being. I highly recommend Greta to anyone seeking exceptional pet care services. Thank you, Greta, for your outstanding care and dedication.

Greta is great with dogs and cats. She not only took my puppy out for potty breaks but also taught her some basic commands as a bonus, which has been a huge help. She shows up on time and interacts with pets for at least the scheduled time. She has always been respectful of the property. She always responds quickly when I need to communixate with her. She is the best!

The compassion Greta shows to animals and my precious little baby Skylar is impeccable! It's scary leaving your pet in the care of someone you don't know but once you see the love she has for you little fur baby you will be sold! :-)

Safety, trust & environment

When providing pet care in the client's home, I adapt to the pet's familiar surroundings. I maintain their routines, feeding schedules, and exercise regimens to minimize stress and anxiety. My deep understanding of cat and dog behavior helps me recognize and address any signs of discomfort or anxiety, ensuring a smooth transition during my visits. I provide companionship, playtime, and any necessary medication administration while respecting their boundaries and individual personalities. In both settings, safety is paramount. I take precautions to secure the environment, such as ensuring fences are secure for outdoor play, using leash restraints as needed, and childproofing areas to prevent access to potential hazards. My goal is to create a loving and nurturing environment where pets feel happy, safe, and well-cared for, all while utilizing my knowledge of pet behavior to ensure their comfort and contentment.

Information Greta S. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your dog, it's crucial for me to have a clear understanding of their preferences, any medical or behavioral issues they may have, and their favorite activities. This information allows me to provide the best possible care and tailor our interactions to ensure their comfort and happiness. 1. **Preferences:** Learning about your dog's likes and dislikes, such as favorite toys, treats, and activities, helps create a positive and enjoyable experience for them. Whether they prefer belly rubs, specific playtime routines, or particular spots to be petted, knowing their preferences allows me to provide personalized care. 2. **Medical Information:** Any medical conditions, allergies, medications, or dietary restrictions your dog has are vital for their safety and well-being. I will strictly adhere to any medical instructions you provide and ensure they receive the necessary care and attention. 3. **Behavioral Issues:** If your dog has any behavioral concerns or quirks, such as fear of thunderstorms, separation anxiety, or specific triggers, it's essential to inform me in advance. This knowledge helps me create a stress-free environment and implement strategies to address or avoid potential issues. 4. **Enjoyable Activities:** Understanding what activities bring joy to your dog is key to ensuring they have a positive and fulfilling experience. Whether it's chasing a ball, going on long hikes, or simply lounging in the sun, I'll incorporate their favorite pastimes into our time together. By providing me with these important details ahead of time, you can rest assured that your dog will receive the best care possible. I'm dedicated to creating a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable environment for your furry family member based on their unique needs and preferences.

A typical day

When caring for the dogs I watch, I believe in providing a well-rounded and enjoyable experience tailored to their unique personalities and needs. Here are some of the fun activities we'll engage in: 1. **Scenic Walks:** We'll explore the beautiful surroundings of Boca Raton during our walks. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through a local park, a refreshing walk along the beach, or a hike through nature trails, I'll choose routes that provide mental and physical stimulation for your furry friend. 2. **Trick Training:** I love working with dogs to teach them new tricks and behaviors. We'll have fun practicing tricks that not only entertain but also mentally engage your dog, promoting their cognitive skills and enhancing the bond between us. 3. **Puzzle Toys:** I'll introduce your dog to interactive puzzle toys that challenge their problem-solving abilities. These toys are a fantastic way to keep their minds sharp and provide hours of entertainment. 4. **Nose Work:** Engaging your dog's sense of smell is a fantastic mental exercise. We can play nose work games where your dog uses their incredible olfactory abilities to find hidden treats or toys, providing a satisfying and mentally enriching activity. 5. **Playtime:** Of course, playtime is a crucial part of our routine. Whether it's a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or simply running around in a safe, enclosed area, I'll make sure your dog gets plenty of physical activity and fun. 6. **Relaxation:** After all the fun and games, we'll also have dedicated relaxation time. Whether it's snuggling on the couch or enjoying some quiet time in the backyard, your dog's comfort and relaxation are essential. I take the time to get to know each dog's preferences and energy levels, ensuring that our activities align with their needs. Your dog's happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I'm committed to providing them with a safe, stimulating, and enjoyable experience during their time with me.
