“We were so blessed to find Duane. He literally went above and beyond the call of duty for us. I was so grateful for his extra care and extra time he put into make sure everything and everyone was well taken care of! He also sent lots of pictures, which was so nice, because I missed my babies so much. Duane is a very nice and caring man and anyone would be lucky to have them watch their fur babies!

About: Hi! I’m Gianna — a lifelong animal lover with a dream of becoming a veterinarian. I’ve grown up around dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, so I’m confident with everything from playful puppies to senior sweethearts. I offer flexible availability, including walks, drop-ins, overnights, and plenty of cuddle time. Whether your pup needs exercise, company, or just a loving presence while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family. Animals are my passion, and your pet’s comfort and safety always come first! I’m currently a flight attendant but I usually only do day trips so I’m always available after or before work. I know my schedule a head of time so that will never be an issue. I’ve grown up always having dogs and cats but since moving out I don’t have any. So I currently don’t have any animals as of now.

About: With 10+ years of experience, I provide dependable, compassionate care for dogs, cats, reptiles, and more, treating every pet like my own and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Every morning starts with checking on my reptiles’ temps and feeding schedule, followed by caring for my two cats, cleaning, feeding, and spending quality time with them. I give each pet personalized attention, feeding on schedule, fresh water, clean spaces, playtime, and affection. I follow all instructions carefully to match their routine and comfort.

About: I've been pet sitting, house sitting,farm sitting, and more for neighbors and connections since I was 5yo. While no one wants anything to happen to their pets, I have the experience to handle any abnormal incident or emergency that may occur while owners are away. I am an experienced dog trainer and Former Veterinary Technician. Over a decade handling and training service dogs, specifically medical alert and response dogs, using positive reinforcement methods. I can't wait to me you and your pets!! At the moment, I have created a pet and farm start up, so I can make you and your animal(s) needs fit my schedule. Pets(and their parents) are my top priority, so I will do my best to work anything in my schedule around yours and give you and your animals the best, most responsible care. I care for pets in their owners home at the moment, though I'm working towards building the ideal training and boarding facility to better serve locals with their pets needs.

I let my puppy outside almost anytime he needs to use bathroom. I taught him to signal me. I've trained him to stay in the yard, but I like to go out with him just to make sure.

“She is reliable, trustworthy, compassionate, knowledgeable and has this amazing bond with every dog she comes in contact. She is very dedicated in the things she does considering she’s in healthcare and cares for old people and she’s has taken care of dogs before for family and friends and even has some of her own.
