Meet the owners of Wild at Heart! We are a cooperative and all of our staff are equal owners of the company.
Hello! We are Wild at Heart and are dedicated to maintaining an ethic of compassion in every aspect of our business. We use positive reinforcement and constantly work with our clients to provide the best possible care.
My name is Greg, and I am the founder of Wild at Heart Dog Walking & Pet-sitting. I grew up in a home surrounded by pets; my family always included several dogs, cats, horses, and mules. I became passionate about animal welfare when I was a teenager and started volunteering at a local wildlife rescue and have followed that passion ever since. I have extensive experience volunteering in shelters, specifically working with troubled dogs. After relocating to Portland, I wanted to find a way to combine my love of the outdoors and my love of animals. Dog walking and pet sitting were the perfect combination of the two. I absolutely love spending my days exploring Portland with pups!
Hello! My name is Courtney and I have been a co-owner of Wild At Heart since 2022. I am a dedicated and compassionate pet care professional committed to ensuring the health, safety, and happiness of every animal in my care. With a background that combines extensive hands-on experience and a genuine love for all creatures, I bring knowledge and reliability to every pet care situation. Whether it’s administering care for specialized needs, providing engaging playtime, or simply offering a comforting presence, I strive to go above and beyond to create a warm, stress-free environment for pets and their families. I have a proven commitment to maintaining the highest standards of care, making me a trusted partner for those seeking peace of mind and exceptional quality in pet services.
Hi, I'm Katie! I joined Wild At Heart in 2018. Growing up, we always had dogs at home. Plus, I used to help my aunt on her rescue farm, where she fostered anywhere between 10 and 20 dogs at any given time, in addition to goats, horses, cows, chickens and a whole lot of cats. I've been pet-sitting and walking dogs for the past 6 years and share a house with an elder Newfoundland mix named Heidi. When I'm not taking care of animal friends, I do grassroots organizing work focused on climate change prevention.
