My name is Gio. I have a lot of experience caring for, walking, and playing with dogs of all breeds and sizes. My experience ranges from dog-sitting for friends and family as well as caring for my own. I also grew up with cats and have experience caring for them. I'm an extremely flexible pet-sitter; for example, if your dog is used to sleeping in the bed with you I'll be prepared to accommodate this arrangement, or, if they're crate-trained / sleep in their own bed, I'll be prepared for this situation too. I'll be mindful of you and your loved one's (your dog's) daily routine (i.e. playing with toys, going out at certain times, certain games they like to play, etc.) and do my best to be a fun and consistent dog sitter. Keep in mind, I am not a dog-trainer, but if you have certain rules and/or behaviors you'd like me to pay special attention to, I can do that too (i.e. sitting before treats, no begging, etc.). Being the owner of a hyper curious and energetic dog, I'm great at keeping dog-walks focused while factoring in some time for dogs to sniff and explore. As you'll see in my photographs, I love going on hikes with dogs, so if you're into that I know some good spots to take them. If I give your dog a bath, I'll be taking them to Petfood Express, unless you're uncomfortable with that, in which case I can do the bath at home. This all goes for cats as well, except for bathing them. And no need to worry, I will not attempt to teach your dogs or cats how to skateboard (probably) ;)
