Availability

Pet care is a consistent part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day includes scheduled walks, feeding, cleaning, and check-ins, along with monitoring behavior and overall health. I structure my schedule to prioritize each pet’s individual needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. Throughout the week, I also coordinate client communication, and foster care responsibilities, making sure every animal receives reliable, attentive, and consistent care.

Safety, trust & environment

I tailor my care based on the service and each pet’s individual needs, whether in my home or a client’s home. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep the pet comfortable, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and maintaining a clean space. I also monitor behavior, appetite, and overall health, and provide regular updates to the owner. In my home, I create a safe, structured environment with supervised interactions, scheduled feeding, exercise, enrichment, and rest. I ensure pets are comfortable, stress-free, and treated like my own, while maintaining consistency, cleanliness, and clear communication with owners throughout the stay.

Information Gia I. would like to know about your pet

I would love to have well behaved dogs to watch, I prefer girl dogs of any sizes , potty trained (that have no accidents in the house), and all dogs must be spayed or neutered.

A typical day

The fun activities I do is play tug of war with them, run bring them to the door park for good and well behaved. Give them lots of love and affection. Hint is I sleep with them in my bed, because I love having them around

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a college student and love animals. I will make your pets feel at home and will treat them like my own. They will be safe and taken care of to your standards. I have a French Bulldog, Pitbull and two cats that love other animals. My family embraces the dogs and will love them as their own. I have a fenced backyard where your furry friends can play. Taking care of animals is a great way to relieve stress and also have fun (for your furry friends too). There are many dog parks close to my house that the dogs will be able to visit AND I have lots of toys so your dog/ pet could enjoy themselves even more! Your dog will have a fantastic time. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions... I don't bite! Thank you, hope to have your pet stay with me!

We found Gia to be very caring and attentive to our cat. She regularly sent us updates, and we appreciated her kind and gentle manner - it is clear she loves animals. Thanks so much!

Gia is reliable, compassionate, and trustworthy!! She will care for your animals and ensure that they are well fed, walked, and loved. Gia has been in the dog walking business for many years and has several animals of her own. She is an intelligent, recent college graduate who takes pride in her services. I have two German Shepherds and Gia has cared for them numerous times over the years. Bella and Bruno get so excited to see her and love spending time with her. She knows how to take control of them to ensure their safety, but also provides the love and care they need when I'm not around. Thank you Gia for all you do!! I highly recommend her services :)

I am the luckiest person for having Gia as a pet sitter. She took excellent care of Luna (my cat), and she was always meticulous, organized and very diligent with communication. Even though she offered to feed my fish. This shows that she is a truly pet lover with great work ethics. I am so glad Gia offered me to take care of my cat again in case I needed to. I would have her again without any hesitation. Thanks Rover and Gia for making pet owners happy.
