Hi there! My name is Gianna and I run a private dog training & boarding business. I specialize in behavior modification programs for aggressive, anxious, and insecure dogs! I have experience as a vet tech for 5 years, boarding / pet sitting for 10, and have been training dogs for 8 years. I provide structured & safe boarding in my home in Burbank. Please message if you have any questions about my services & training inquiries!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Gianna was the best sitter for our darling girl! She came through for us last minute while we took our toddler to Universal Studios for two days. I felt comfortable leaving our dog with a professional trainer who understood Mila’s needs and accepted her quirks. She was also so easy to communicate with which made everything incredibly easy. I’ll be booking Gianna in a heartbeat the next time I’m in town!
Gianna is a godsend for owners of strong, high-maintenance dogs like mine. Her experience and confidence instantly put me at ease. She expertly managed my two energetic male dogos, anticipating their needs and adapting to their quirks. My husband and I felt completely safe and my dogs were clearly happy and well-cared for. Highly recommend!
Gianna is wonderful and exactly what we were hoping for in a dog sitter! She provides such important structure and enrichment that we try to give our pup everyday. We can tell that Gianna cares deeply about who our dog is and what her unique needs are. We highly recommend Gianna and will absolutely be booking again!
Atticus came back stress free and happy. Gianna was great with him and sent updates with photos and videos.

Schedule
I run my business out of my home, specifically board and train programs. I am home most of the day working with dogs, as well as traveling to local areas with the dogs in my care for enrichment and training. We are located near Chandler Bike Path and the Magnolia Strip in Burbank!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
As a trainer and cat/dog boarder, safety is a priority. I have a securely fenced large turfed backyard for plenty of space to run and play! In my home, I implement a crate & rotate system for safety when dogs are unsupervised. Not every dog is social or comfortable with other dogs, cats, or strangers and thats okay! I am highly experienced in safely managing dogs with all types of preferences and behaviors. It is my priority to keep each dog safe, fulfilled, & comfortable with structure in my home, with or without interacting with other animals, and tailor to their specific needs.
Pets
A typical day
My days are busy and fulfilling! Each dog gets free time in the yard and house, at least 2 walks a day (pack walks if they are able to), 1 on 1 play time with me, dog social time (if friendly) and “field trips” (with owners permission). Every dog has different needs, which I will tailor to during their stay. Cats get their own room!
