About: Hi! My name is Gianna, and I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I’m currently an aspiring veterinary student at Saint Francis University, where I’ve had the opportunity to shadow several veterinarians and learn firsthand what it means to care for animals with compassion and skill. While at SFU, I’ve volunteered at a local animal shelter, walking dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Most of my pet-sitting experience comes from caring for my own family’s dogs and cats, but I’m excited to branch out and help other pet owners, too! As a college athlete, I’m used to staying active—and strong enough to handle even the most enthusiastic big dogs on walks. I’m also no stranger to the less glamorous parts of pet care (yes, poop and pee clean-up included!). Above all, I promise to treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention that you do. I know how important they are, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time at Dairy Queen. I get my schedule around 4 days before the next week. So my availability will depend on my work schedule that week which I can update ASAP to when my manager makes the new schedule! * I go back to college August 24th so I can’t take anymore bookings after that weekend. I will be home on breaks so If you need me please reach out! * When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety , comfort, and routine above all else. I understand that each animal has a different personality so some may need more of a specific thing rather than another. I follow instructions given to me by the owners very carefully. Whether that is a feeding time, medication, walks, or going outside to the bathroom. I am very organized so being in your home, I will keep it neat. I love to send pictures to the owners because as an owner I would enjoy seeing mine.

I have summers off and am very flexible with schedules. During the year I am free most days but can also work around with any schedule. I have experience with crate training. I also have experience using dog diapers on unspayed dogs. I am flexible and adaptive to whatever your wishes may be!
About: I have been a Certified Veterinary Technician for 8 years. I can give medications. Both oral and injectable. I’ve taken care of very young to geriatric pets. I enjoy working with all of them I’m working part time at a general practice animal hospital. The days I am off I would like to help people have a piece of mind that their pet is in good care I am only doing drop in visits for now. I would like to do initial meet and greets to make sure your pet gets used to who I am and why I’m there. It’s all about making them feel comfortable and still confident.
“Olivia R. Is wonderful. You can tell she loves dogs. Olivia is very good with Crosby. If something comes up and you need to make a change to the scheduled walk she will accommodate you if possible. I highly recommend Olivia R.”

About: Hi! I’m Kelly, a lifelong dog lover who’s never known life without a pup by my side. From mixed breeds of all sizes and personalities to my current golden retriever, Mando (aka the love of my life), dogs have always been part of my world. I’ve trained Mando since he was just 2 months old, so I’m comfortable with puppies, but I also have plenty of experience with senior dogs—one of our family pups lived to 18! Whether your dog is young, old, big, small, shy, or super social, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I love all dogs and can’t wait to meet yours! I’m currently in between jobs, so my schedule is wide open! I’m available most days and times unless I already have a prior commitment. Just reach out—I’m happy to work around your needs! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced-in yard with plenty of space to play—and a pool if your pup loves to swim! I have two friendly dogs of my own: Mando (a golden retriever) and Sophia (a medium-sized mixed breed), so your dog will have built-in playmates if they’re social. I’m happy to crate your dog if needed, take them on walks around the neighborhood, and keep up with their feeding schedule or special routines. I feed my own dogs twice a day and always keep plenty of toys, puzzles, and enrichment activities on hand to keep them happy and stimulated. Most importantly, I’ll treat your dog like part of my own pup family—because that’s exactly what they’ll become while they’re with me.

“I have known Gianna Anderson from a very little girl. Gianna has always loved animals. I’ve had four labs over a few years and now have a golden retriever. The dogs just love her. She’s a very responsible, young lady. My dogs go nuts when she comes and they whine when she leaves, she has been responsible for feeding my dogs, grooming, my dog by that I mean, brushing, making sure she has adequate water and food. all of my dogs are very large dogs and she handles them perfectly fine. The moment she walks in the door they bring her her toy and Gianna will play with her for hours, never once complaining. I would highly recommend Gianna Anderson to be a pet caregiver.”

“Michael was amazing with our two pit bulls while we were away at a wedding. Even though they had never met them before, he connected with them right away and made them feel comfortable. He went above and beyond, sending us a video of them playing in the yard, making sure they got outside to use the bathroom, and even staying to hang out with them for a bit. We really appreciated the extra care and attention he gave. His communication was great throughout, and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for safe, loving care and excellent service.”
