Let’s go fur a walk

I’m an energetic person with lots of free time, who loves animals. I’ve had a multitude of pets over the years ranging from cats and dogs to iguanas! I’m able to provide my undivided attention to each pet, and cater my care to their needs. I own my own vehicle, so I have safe and reliable transportation. I strive to make the experience as enjoyable for your pets as it is for me. I’m extremely organized, reliable, and I clean up after myself.

Gia was wonderful watching our quirky guy Winston, and staying at our house. She did a meet and greet quickly upon inquiring about her watching our pup, and did a great job getting along with and taking her time getting to know our loud and nervous boy. I recommend Gia and can’t thank her enough!

Gia was the best sitter for my dog Rufus! This was my first time using Rover and she was so kind and helpful. Rufus has reactivity with other dogs so it was very important to me that Rufus had a sitter that was calm and attentive when he is being walked. She made me feel so comfortable and sent me daily updates on how he was doing. I could not recommend Gia enough!

Safety, trust & environment

My upbringing with animals exposed me to a variety of different animals, with a wide range of temperaments. I’m extremely adaptive to the specific needs of your pet, while simultaneously asserting enough dominance to set boundaries/commands they’ll respond to.

A typical day

A typical day with me depends on the area. I may or may not be familiar with the local parks, trails, or beaches but can easily research and see what’s nearby! I bring along toys, treats, and water during our activities and make sure they’re hydrated again once we return home.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
