Availability
I am also a photographer so I fit my petsitting schedule around photographing events. I am reasonably flexible since I am a freelancer. I love exploring and being outdoors. I see dog walking and pet sitting as a highlight of my daily adventures.

Safety, trust & environment
I try to offer consistency and comfort to the animals I care for. If you have a routine, I try to mimic that. I treat your pets like my own when it comes to walking or playing in public. It's my priority to respect the boundaries you set regarding care.
Information Gigi C. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences though I grew up with high-energy working dogs and love keeping them occupied. I also have experience with elderly dogs. It is very important I know any triggers, history, or trauma that your pet might have. I like to know dietary restrictions, preferred activities, and special needs. I want to give your pet the care they deserve so learning about their personality can be really helpful. I value honesty and consider it a crucial component of quality pet care. Communication is my main priority so never hesitate to express any and all details about your dog, cat, or other pets.
A typical day
I spend a lot of time out in parks and exploring nature. I tend to match the energy of the pet I'm caring for. For example, if the dog is more timid, I let them get comfortable with me and remain even-toned. If they enjoy running and playing, I spend my time doing exactly that.

Lifestyle Photographer & Dog Mom
Pet care experience
I’m a lifestyle photographer who recently moved to the area, with a lifelong background in animal care. I grew up on a farm caring for a variety of animals, including foster, rescue, and special needs dogs—typically 3–5 at a time—which gave me a strong foundation in understanding different behaviors and needs. I’ve built on that experience through formal training and working with rescues, crisis care organizations, and in a professional dog care facility. As a dog mom, I know how hard it can be to find quality care. I strive to get to know the dogs I care for and put owners at ease knowing they will receive clear communication and quality care when working with me.

Reviews
Gigi provided wonderful care to my dog. Easy to work with and my dog was happy! Would love to book again! Thank you! 😊 🐾🐶
Gigi is wonderful! We’re visiting MDI for a few weeks and were going to be away for the day. We didn’t want to leave our dog and cat alone for the whole day. So, I contacted Gigi and she responded almost immediately. We told her when we’d need her. She came out and spent an hour walking and playing with Sunny and Selina. She sent us the cutest photos. We were so relieved knowing our fur babies were in good hands! We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again when we’re back in the area! Thanks Gigi!
Our cat Maggie was visited by Gigi twice this weekend. She did exactly what I asked her to do and spent time petting Maggie as well. We feel lucky to have found her. She is very sincere and conscientious.
Gigi is the best pet care taker we could ever ask for. She is wonderful with both cats and dogs, and lots of them. The kids just love her and she has a natural ability with them, even the shy and timid ones. We can highly recommend her.
