About: Hi! I’m Gianna — a lifelong animal lover with a dream of becoming a veterinarian. I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, so I’m confident with everything from playful puppies to senior sweethearts. I offer flexible availability, including walks, drop-ins, overnights, and plenty of cuddle time. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or just a loving presence while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. Animals are my passion, and your pet’s comfort and safety always come first! I’m currently a flight attendant but I usually only do day trips so I’m always available after or before work. I know my schedule a head of time so that will never be an issue. I’ve grown up always having dogs and cats but since moving out I don’t have any. So I currently don’t have any animals as of now.

“Corissa did great job checking in on Domino while I was on a road trip. Corissa even managed to make my rather reclusive cat come out for a look while she fed Domino and cleaned her litter. I was nervous about using the Rover service but not anymore. I really appreciated the daily check notices and photos. Corissa is reliable and she communicates well. She has my highest recommendation!”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently work full time on the weeks at a printing company. I can do weekends almost anytime someone needs me to care for their animal. I care for my pets in many different ways. I have 9 pet at home 7 being reptiles. I let my puppy outside almost anytime he needs to use bathroom. I taught him to signal me. I've trained him to stay in the yard, but I like to go out with him just to make sure. I know not everyone has a dog that stays in the yard. So I do good with dogs on leashes. I can train the basic tricks for your dog, if they need it. I usually feed my dog in the mornings before I go to work at 5am. (Note: i do have a grandfather to let him out) Then around 7pm I feed him his dinner. I'm really good with noticing behaviors of animals and understand them. I try to bond with them to get them to understand me more. I love playing with my puppy and letting him get his exercise. I will definitely do that for your fur family too. I will make sure they have a good time and that they're well fed. I will make sure there will be no accidents in your home. I will keep your little fur babies safe and happy.
About: I’ve taken care of animal all my life and I’ve always been good with training them and loving them.

But also we would do a good walk
About: I am currently booking for 4th of July, & Labor Day. Plan ahead! I can’t do boarding I can be available for house sitting but it also depends on travel, because if I can’t get enough to travel and stay because I have dogs of my own, I would need to leave momentarily keep that in mind. I don’t mind staying but dogs need to come with and I have 3 1 of which is a dog aggressive dog, so I have to keep her separate from other dogs that are new to her. But all my other dogs are fine drop ins please be specific I am charging $15 for a meet and greet fee I will explain later, but I’m most willing to do any breed, just ask no aggressive dogs (with people) and if you back out during the stay or drop in I will charge an extra $100-200 depending on how many animals if you have more than a few animals expect it to be a little pricey. I love dogs and provide the best quality of care like they are my own. But I just want to cover all the basis before you book I am currently working as a part time rover sitter. So I may or may not have available times as of now I’ve just selected available so people can message me I take care of dogs like they are my own, I love them like they are mine, if I want my own dogs fed, let out etc, but I don’t expect someone to be there right at the time, and understand they have lives too. I give them lots of love and love cuddling with dogs and playing fetch, or something with them, I do the necessities potty if needed every 4-8 hours depends on the age of the dog too and the service

I love every breed. I have kept my friends and family’s dogs over night while they are out of town and they love to play with my dogs. My dogs are very pet friendly with other dogs.
