Information Gia V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your furry friends have any special requirements, if they’re particular or sensitive to certain things, how/if they’re able to interact with others.

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.

Pet care experience

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!

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.
