I currently work from home as an engineer. Before and after work I take my 3 year old bernedoodle on walks, take her to the park every night for some socializing, and when I'm not working I'm always finding new ways to include my fur baby in every day activities!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very friendly and loving 3 year old bernedoodle. She is my top priority 24/7 as will be your fur baby if I am caring for them. I am knowledgeable about dog socialization and interaction as well as caring for any age and size dog. They will always be POSITIVELY reenforced and never physically reprimanded. Their safety and your reassurance about their safety is my number one priority.

Information GIA B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special care or training instructions. I have trained all four dogs I have owned, cared for them when they were sick and or older, and I have no problem making special accommodations for anyone (food restrictions, training needs, corrective actions for bad habits, positive reinforcement for good habits, etc.)

A typical day

I like to take my dog (and dogs I watch) as many places with me as possible. I try new restaurants with outdoor seating, I have many interactive treat dispensing toys, i love training animals and will help them with their basic commands and learning new tricks too, I have several dog parks within walking distance of my home. I always bring several toys to the park, a personal water bowl and water bottle for the dogs to have clean water and to stay cool. I have serval cooling mats in my apartment for the fur babies to curl up on when it's too hot.

Pet care experience

I have had experience caring for dogs and cats for over 15 years. I got my first yellow lab in 2004 and have had 3 labs since then. I cared for them mostly on my own even though they were "family" dogs. All of the caring, feeding, and bathroom breaks were my responsibility. I crate and leash trained them, taught them many commands, and trained 2 of them to be very good bird hunting dogs. Since moving out on my own I have adopted my own fur baby who is now 3 years old.

Fantastic. Gia went above and beyond in keeping us up to date with texts and pictures with all of the fun that London, our high energy put mix, was having while we were away. We just knew that our wild child was getting the attention and exercise she needed. She even seems a bit bored now that she is home without her dog buddy. Great communication and a dog loving home. We will be back!

Gia is amazing! She was extremely communicative and our dog was happy and tired coming home. Would book with her again for sure.

Gia did a great job caring for our dog. She sent lots of photos and updates throughout the stay.

Ms. Gia was amazing! It was last minute trip to the area for myself & had never used Rover, but I am pleased I made the decision & went along with Ms. Gia. She kept in communication throughout my dog's stay & made her feel at home.
