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
Ratings and reviews
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!
Great with Fendi....she has lots of patience.

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!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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.

A typical day
I play a bunch of games, run around a lot with more high energy dogs & take longer walks with them. For lower energy dogs I enjoy doing a cuddle session time with them & give them a chance to bond with me! I LOVE to do training sessions with dogs that are eager to please/love treats! It’s a good way to tire them out but also build that special bond. I also love doing enrichment activities (decompression walks, snuffle mats, training, puzzle feeders) with dogs who would enjoy that.
