Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine, as I prioritize the well-being and happiness of animals. I dedicate specific time slots each day for feeding, walking, playtime, and cuddles with my own pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. This routine helps me stay organized and attentive to their needs, setting a standard for the quality of care I provide to all the pets I look after. Whether it's a daily walk or a grooming session, I integrate pet care seamlessly into my schedule, making sure that every furry friend in my care feels like a part of the family.

Safety, trust & environment
In my own home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets, ensuring they have access to food, water, toys, and a cozy place to rest. I follow their feeding and exercise routines, take them for walks, and engage in playtime to keep them active and happy. I also give them plenty of love and attention, making them feel like a part of our family. When caring for pets in a client's home, I strive to maintain their routine as closely as possible to minimize stress and provide a sense of familiarity. This includes following their feeding schedule, administering any necessary medications, and engaging in activities that they enjoy. I make sure to keep the home clean and tidy, respecting the client's space while giving their pets the care and attention they need. Overall, whether in my home or a client's home, my goal is to create a nurturing and loving environment for pets, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for during their time with me.

Information Gia S. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for any pet, it is crucial to gather essential information about them to ensure their well-being and comfort. Some important details to know ahead of time include: 1. Dietary needs and feeding schedule: Any food allergies, dietary restrictions, or specific feeding instructions. 2. Medical history and medication requirements: Any underlying health conditions, medications they are taking, and emergency contact information for their veterinarian. 3. Behavioral quirks and preferences: Any fears, triggers, or favorite activities that can help in creating a positive experience for the pet. 4. Exercise and activity levels: How much exercise they require, favorite toys or activities, and any restrictions on physical activity. 5. Emergency procedures and contact information: Knowing where the nearest veterinary clinic is located, how to access emergency care, and having contact information for the pet's owner readily available. By gathering this information ahead of time, I can tailor my care to meet the unique needs and preferences of each pet, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for them while in my care.
A typical day
During my pet-sitting sessions, I love engaging in a variety of fun activities with the pets I watch to keep them entertained and mentally stimulated. Some of the activities I enjoy include: 1. Interactive play sessions with their favorite toys, such as fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek. 2. Puzzle games and treat-dispensing toys to provide mental stimulation and keep them engaged. 3. Outdoor adventures like walks in the park, hikes on nature trails, or trips to the beach (if appropriate and safe). 4. Training sessions to work on basic commands, tricks, or agility exercises, tailored to their skill level and age. 5. Relaxing cuddle time for pets who prefer quiet companionship and affection. By incorporating a mix of physical exercise, mental enrichment, and bonding time, I ensure that the pets I watch have a fulfilling and enjoyable experience while in my care.

Reviews
Gia was super responsive and booked same day as request. She took great care of my dog and spent all day playing with her, let her run in the yard, and made sure she had a meal. Would book again!!!
She is communicative, conscientious and sure knows dogs! She’s wonderful with my little guy because he’s always a bit timid when he meets someone new but by the time they came back from the walk, they seemed like old friends. Will definitely use her again.
