Pet care experience
Fun,Trustworthy,Reliable Pet Lover
Hi! My name is Gia and I'm currently a senior at Misericordia University. I'm a huge animal lover and a proud dog mom to my golden retriever (you'll see him in most of the photos on my page—he's my whole personality!). We do everything together—walks, swimming, hiking, playing with other dogs, and hanging out at the creek. I've grown up around all kinds of animals including cats, dogs, birds, and bunnies. I also have a couple years of experience working at a kennel, where I cared for pets of all sizes and personalities—puppies, elderly dogs, jumpy or strong pullers, diabetic pets (both cats and dogs), and more. I’m comfortable giving medications (pills or injections) and can also trim nails if requested. When I'm not in class or studying, I enjoy going to the gym, being outdoors, swimming, and spending time with my family—and of course, my dog. I’m very dependable, caring, and flexible. Whether your pet just needs a potty break, a long walk or run, some playtime with my pup, or some loving company while you're away, I’ve got it covered. I always send lots of pictures and updates to keep you in the loop. I’d love to meet you and your furry family member!

Safety, trust & environment
I always treat every pet like they’re my own—with lots of love, patience, and attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at the client’s, I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I stick to their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any medication they may need. If I’m in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure to keep everything clean and tidy. I always follow any instructions left for me and make sure to send lots of photo and video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I can also bring my dog over for playtime if it’s a good fit! No matter the situation, I’m all about being dependable, flexible, and giving pets the care and love they deserve.
Ratings and reviews
Gia was so great with our Brutus and sent multiple pictures and updates! Will definitely hire again and recommend to anyone!
I needed a dog walker at the last minute and Gia was so accommodating. She sent lots of updates on my dog, including lots of pictures, and took care of everything that I asked of her with. I definitely recommend and will be using her to walk my dog for the foreseeable future!
Gia was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Teddy and River. Leaving your pets is always a bit stressful, especially when one has specific medical needs, but Gia handled everything flawlessly. She gave Teddy his insulin injections without any issues at all, which gave us immense peace of mind while we were away. When we got home, both Teddy and River were completely relaxed, content, and happy—it was obvious they were incredibly well cared for and loved. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly, highly recommend Gia to anyone looking for a top-notch, reliable, and caring pet sitter!
Gia was AMAZING and a total life saver. She hung out with our dog while we had to be away. She was so professional and so sweet and sent us a ton of pics. She gave us such peace of mind knowing our dog was well taken care of. 11/10!!
Great communication, pictures and made it so easy to be able to travel without worrying about our dogs.
"5 stars for Gia! She is a true professional who clearly loves what she does. My dogs, River and Teddy, are always relaxed and happy after her visits. She manages their complex needs (diabetes and diapers) perfectly and always leaves the house clean. Her updates and photos are the highlight of my day. She’s a lifesaver!"

Schedule
Pet care is a big part of my daily routine! I spend a lot of time with my own dog—taking him on walks, to the creek, or just playing outside—so adding more pets to care for fits right in with my schedule. I'm usually very flexible and available most days, including for same-day requests. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a walk, or some playtime, I’m happy to make time and give your pet the attention they deserve.
