Casey Geist grew up in Cambridge and had a sweet sealpoint Siamese cat named Zhadi, whom he cherished. He also became very fond of dogs as he got to know Jiggs, his grandmother's Boxer, and lots of other playful pups. Raised by a single mom who modeled care, compassion and neatness, he learned from the best. Over the years, he has met and helped many wonderful animals.

Casey served in the U.S. Air Force for 4 years, where he worked in IT, and is an honorably discharged veteran. After his enlistment ended, he moved to California where he studied music and digital art. He later returned to college to study math and computer science.

However, with a love for animals and great customer service, he decided to make a meaningful career caring for pets, serving local neighborhoods and suburban areas of Boston, and in 2022 founded Pet Buddy.

Casey currently lives in Allston.
