Pet care experience

Trusted care for your pup!

I’m a gentle, patient, and detail-oriented caregiver who always treats pets like family. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, routines, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and always keep owners updated with photos and messages. I have experience with both energetic pups and calm senior dogs, and I’m comfortable supporting different temperaments. Whether your dog needs slow, reassuring walks or a little extra playtime and stimulation, I adjust to what makes them happiest. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities — every single visit!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I only care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. This helps maintain their routine and reduces stress, especially for shy or anxious pups. When I’m in your home, I always follow your instructions closely — feeding schedules, walking routes, crate routines, and any special preferences your pet has. I’m very mindful about safety: doors and gates stay securely closed, leashes are always checked before walks, and I never rush or take unnecessary risks. I treat your home with complete respect and keep everything clean and exactly as I found it. Your pet’s comfort and your peace of mind are my top priorities every visit.

Gia was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. She was attentive, patient, and genuinely caring, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was incredibly helpful having someone so reliable and responsible to dog sit, and I could tell my dog was happy and comfortable with her. Gia kept me updated and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dedicated dog sitter.

I can’t say enough good things about my pet sitter Gia. She is one of the most compassionate and loving people I’ve ever trusted with my pets. She treats them like they’re her own—gentle, patient, and always tuned in to what they need. My pets light up when they see her, and that says everything. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals give me complete peace of mind every time I leave them in her care. I’m so grateful for her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter who truly has a heart for animals.

She is one of the best person I ever met in taking care animals. Lest start first she has her own dog and she treat that dog like a baby I personally think she is the perfect fit for to be part of the program and start taking care other animals and the good thing about her, she loves animals and it’s hard to find people like that in these days.

Schedule

I’m a full-time graduate student, but my weekly routine fits pet care perfectly. I only go to campus for exams on Friday mornings and have classes Mondays and Tuesdays, which still leaves plenty of time for morning, afternoon, or evening walks on those days. I’m completely free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, so I’m able to offer longer visits, flexible scheduling, and consistent daily care. I plan my study time around my bookings to make sure every pet gets reliable attention, exercise, and affection.
