Let’s go fur a walk

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 stayed in our home with our two doggies for a full week. She was great with the dogs and took good care of our home as well. Highly recommend!

Gia is the consummate pro. I've used her on three occasions, and what I like about her is that she cares for the pets and has good common sense. She's very good about sending updates/photos of how things are going at the home-front.

So thankful for Gia, can always trust her to take great care of my babies when I'm away. I had a cancelled flight and was worried I wasn't going to be able to get on another flight she was super flexible and stayed a couple hours longer to care for them.

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.

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.
