“Gia always does such a wonderful job with Séamus. She is very patient with him. She really helped us out and was so accommodating with fitting us in around her schedule during the holidays this year. Thanks Gia!”

About: For as long as I can remember, animals have been at the core of what’s important to me. As a kid my family would watch our friend’s therapy dog, Cinnamon, once every few months. During that time I also had rabbits, and my family had cats. By the time I’d reached high school my family got a chocolate lab puppy who then turned out to be my side kick for the next 4 years. During college I’d spend every weekend at my aunt’s with her two pitties, and then by 2024 I finally got my own pets- two cats. Since then we’ve lived in two different houses with two different groups of pets, plus we’ve cat and dog sat for different friends. Long story short, I’m a certified ANIMAL LOVER!! I’m doing pet care full time, so I try to be pretty flexible and accommodating. However, I do have two cats of my own at home- if I’m going to be housesitting for you, I need it to be understood that I will make occasional trips home to check on them and tend to their needs. Beyond making sure that my clients’ pets are happy and cared for, I also make it a priority to keep my clients themselves satisfied with the service I’m providing them. If you’re a more anxious individual, I have no problem sending you updates on and pictures of your furry friend all throughout the day. If you need to be left alone while you’re away, I can match that vibe too. Let me know what you need and I will make it work.
About: I have been a devoted mom, grandma, and pet parent for a long time. Now that I am off grandma daycare duty and my pets have crossed over the rainbow bridge, I’m ready to become your pet’s bestie, grandma, exercise buddy, or treat lady. I currently have a limited clientele in the neighborhood, including letting dogs out to pee, going on walks, and daytime/overnight sitting. A little bit about why I am “the one:” My life has been devoted to caring for others. I retired from the healthcare field to take care of my grandkids, who went to elementary school and left me behind. My very dear dog (Sammy) and cat (Irene) grew old with me until they got their wings. I am at my best when I’m taking care of others, whether they have tails or not. I spend my time walking with humans and dogs, many of whom enjoy my humor and choice of dog biscuit variety. I love to garden in my fenced yard, preferably with a dog nearby laying in a sunny spot. With no pets or little kids in the house, I enjoy relaxing by the tv sharing some healthy snacks with a pup or cat, giving them the attention they deserve. Although I do run out still for the occasional kid transport, I am not usually away for long and always back in time for a good meal or a stroll. While I am retired, I do still help out with the grandkids here and there. I’m typically never away long. I walk 1-3 times a day, sometimes through the neighborhood and sometimes on a path. I love the extra company of a pup! When visiting my home, your pets can enjoy many comfortable features and experiences from laying on a nice cool tile floor to cozying up in a bed with a warm blanket, running around my fenced backyard, watching the fish swim in the small pond, going for a morning and evening walk on a path, and watching some nighttime tv. While I typically gate off some rooms for canine visitors, there is plenty of indoor space to explore while they find their favorite room or sunny spot. Depending on your pet’s age or preference in chewing things, I may gate off specific areas to deter chewing and peeing. I am happy to accommodate communication or even a short video chat between you and your pet.

Palmer Heights dog parents share their Rover experiences
I was so happy that Hannah was available to care for Sharkey again this year, and I am already thinking about next year, hoping she will be then, as well. Peace of mind is so important, and that is what I have leaving Shark in Hannah's care. It's so nice to relax and be worry free. We love the notes she leaves and all the pics too. Thank you, Hannah! You're the best and I know the gang will miss you :)
