DOGWALKER/DAYCARE&BOARDING. CATS AND OTHER ANIMALS ACCEPTED AS WELL! Hello to you and your furry friend(s)! I am a full time dog lover! My goal is to give you peace of mind leaving your beloved pal with someone you can trust. I do everything I can to make sure when your pup is with me they are having fun and enjoying their time. Almost like a play date! I have plenty of treats I bring along on walks (with your permission) and even try my best to get some training done if it’s needed. All walks are guaranteed to be at least 30 mins although I tend to walk the pups longer if I see they are enjoying their little adventures (and that’s no extra charge). If you have long work days and want your pup to not only get a walk in but have company while you’re away, I do offer day care which is extended time with your furry friend. Taking a trip away? Boarding with me is a great option! Ditch the kennel and have your baby in a low stress relaxing environment. I’ve been dog walking and boarding for 10 years and before that I was volunteering at local animal shelters. I want to make sure your dogs are happy and not counting down the hours of the day till their companion gets home. I’m happy to take your pup on little adventures while you’re away (with your approval) and I do bathing as well! Let’s keep that happy tale wagging and give your pup a place to play or a walk a day.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an extremely dog friendly community! My apartment comes with a dog park and trails nearby for doggy adventures. I have a cat that grew up with dogs and loves having a friend in the home with her.

Gioia is so sweet and loving to the girls. They seemed to really enjoy all the treats and attention during Gioia’s drop-in visits. 10/10 recommendation Gioia and will definitely re-book with her again when needed.

Gioia was amazing with my fur babies! She stepped in to help last a minute and did not skip a beat! I felt like my babies were in great hands, and we are so grateful! They were happy when I was gone and when I returned! THANK YOU so much, Gioia! 🤗

Schedule

Pet care is not just a job it’s my passion! Let’s see how our schedules work with eachother. I am available full time on Mondays, Saturdays and Sundays, HOWEVER I have family in the same building I live in that would come and give periodic potty breaks while I’m away at work Tuesday-Friday until 5pm:) Whether you have a trip planned months in advance or you need a lifeline within the hour, I’m there to work it out with you!

Please let me know if your dog has any allergies/food sensitivities as well as triggers. Every pup is different just like us so it’s important I know all their little quirks.
