About: Hi! My name is Gianna, and I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m currently an aspiring veterinary student at Saint Francis University, where I’ve had the opportunity to shadow several veterinarians and learn firsthand what it means to care for animals with compassion and skill. While at SFU, I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter, walking dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Most of my pet-sitting experience comes from caring for my own family’s dogs and cats, but I’m excited to branch out and help other pet owners, too! As a college athlete, I’m used to staying active—and strong enough to handle even the most enthusiastic big dogs on walks. I’m also no stranger to the less glamorous parts of pet care (yes, poop and pee clean-up included!). Above all, I promise to treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that you do. I know how important they are, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time at Dairy Queen. I get my schedule around 4 days before the next week. So my availability will depend on my work schedule that week which I can update ASAP to when my manager makes the new schedule! When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety , comfort, and routine above all else. I understand that each animal has a different personality so some may need more of a specific thing rather than another. I follow instructions given to me by the owners very carefully. Whether that is a feeding time, medication, walks, or going outside to the bathroom. I am very organized so being in your home, I will keep it neat. I love to send pictures to the owners because as an owner I would enjoy seeing mine.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dog since we got her 8 years ago. I’ve pet sat for many friends with dogs as small as miniature poodles to as big as labs. I can currently dog walk or pet sit anytime during week days. I am available during weekends for walking or pet sitting but overnight sitting needs to be scheduled in advance. :) I can do anything a client needs me to do in their home. This includes letting the pets outside, feeding them, playing with them, cleaning, etc. I do not offer to care for pets in my own home.

About: With over 25 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals, I bring a unique blend of professionalism, intuition, and grounded presence to every animal I care for. My background in law enforcement, behavioral observation, and trauma-informed support makes me especially skilled with animals who are anxious, reactive, or sensitive. I’ve worked with everything from puppies to senior pets, high-energy working breeds to misunderstood rescues, and multi-pet households that require structure and reliability. I’m confident with medication administration, basic training follow-through, and reading body language to prevent issues before they start. What sets me apart? 🐾 Veteran-level experience—not a hobbyist or casual sitter 🐾 Criminal justice & security background—you can trust your home and animals are safe 🐾 Farm-capable—comfortable caring for chickens, goats, donkeys, horses, and more 🐾 Trauma-aware—I understand how to approach fearful or reactive animals with calm authority 🐾 Energetically grounded—I leave your pets emotionally balanced, not just fed Whether you're gone for a day or several weeks, I ensure your animals are cared for with the same diligence and loyalty I give my own. Additional Animal & Farm Care Pricing Have animals that aren’t listed on Rover? No problem—I also care for chickens, goats, donkeys, horses, and more. I’ve worked in law enforcement, security, and animal care for over a decade, so your home and animals will always be treated with professionalism and respect.

About: I will make sure your fur-baby has the best time and make sure you get pictures through the time they are with me! I will be home at all time so they will never be lonely. I have a puppy that loves to play with other dogs AND adores cats! (Sometimes I feel as if she thinks she is a cat too😂) I have toys and treats. I usually allow the animals on our furniture because this is their home as well, But if you don’t want your baby on furniture I fully respect and can accommodate that for you! I lost my home not long ago and got out of a bad relationship. I’m currently living in a van and traveling! I have all the time in the world and being able to see your pets and spend time with them woukd be the best! 💜 They will be looked after and played with! I am a huge animal lover and always have been. I love spending time with animals and learning about them! :)

“Molly did great with Luna! She sent me great pictures and kept me informed each day. Luna can be shy, but it seems she warmed up to Molly quickly. Will definitely use her again!”
