Highlights
Pet care experience
your pet’s second mom ♡
Hello! :) I've been pet sitting & working with animals for the past decade of my life!! I work with cats as well! But my heart truly loves dogs. What matters to me the most is making sure your pets are happy, healthy, & get their proper care. I do have experience with medication administration. I currently work at a doggy daycare facility as well as a professional dog sitting/walking company! :) NOTE:: I do require a 15-30 minute meet & greet before fully committing to a service. I do this for everyone's safety & to make sure we are a great fit for each other & your pet! FOR BOARDING: I do currently have my own puppy. He's a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel & he's 6 months old. Up-to-date on ALL vaccinations. Super friendly & can handle most situations with other dogs. House, leash, obedience, potty + crate trained! I also have a cat who is dog friendly but spends most of her time sleeping seeing as she is about 12 now!
Qualifications
Pets
Safety, trust & environment
I do own a crate & lots of toys because I currently have my own puppy! I will always communicate with a pet parent before allowing dog boarding in my home. I do have access to plenty of dog parks if needed! As for caring for pets outside of my home, I will always watch for distress signals from pets. I always want to make sure your pet is happy, comfortable & safe. I will NOT push their boundaries unless advised by the owner to do so for medical reasons such as medication.
Ratings and reviews
Gioia was delightful. I appreciated her offer to come meet my pups prior to her stay. She clearly loves dogs! I was not home to see her when she left but everything was fine. I would recommend her for sure.
Gioia was a joy to work with. She was incredibly accommodating, gentle and patient with our behaviorally-needy dog and with our medically-needy dog! She left our home clean and organized and was very communicative and professional. It’s clear our pets have started to look forward to her visits.
Excellent Sitter!!!! So appreciative of her skill set and time she spent with my BamBam! Definitely rebooking!!!!!
Great job
Needs to work on communication and time management. But overall she is great!
Gioia was so great to our Bus!

Schedule
I work at a doggy daycare currently but I like to mainly focus on pet sitting professionally in most of my free time because I genuinely love to connect with dogs one on one. My schedule is extremely flexible!
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsGioia can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- Let me know about any pet behaviors I should watch out for or if they have any special needs! If your pet is undersocialized & is not great with strangers, please let me know in advance!! This is important to keep in mind for my personal safety especially for meet and greets + walks where I do have come in contact pretty close with your pet (first time meets, putting on a harness/leash). I have no problem accommodating to what each owner needs for their pet!
