Hi! I’m Gaetano (my friends call me Gigi). I grew up in a house with dogs, so having a furry companion by my side has always been my normal. Since moving here, I’ve realized how much I truly miss that daily connection and the joy that dogs bring to a home. In the past, I’ve regularly dog-sat for friends and I absolutely loved every minute of it. Now, I’ve decided to turn that passion into a more regular commitment. I’m not just looking for a job; I’m looking to fill that dog-shaped hole in my life by providing your pup with all the attention, walks, and belly rubs they can handle. Personalized, One-on-One Care I believe every dog deserves undivided attention, which is why I only board one dog at a time. Your pet won't have to compete for space or affection while staying with me. I Work From Home: I am home throughout the day, so I can provide constant company. Constant Supervision: I live alone and my routine is very stable. Even if I pop out to the gym for an hour, I ensure your dog is settled and safe. I strictly follow the rules of leaving pets alone for no longer than 1 hour during daycare or 3 hours during boarding. Westerpark Wanderings: I live right near Westerpark! I provide two dedicated walks per day (20–30 minutes each), making the most of the great green space nearby. What I Offer Feeding & Routine: I will strictly follow the feeding schedule and use the food you provide. Play & Cleanup: I include plenty of playtime and I handle all the basic cleanup. Flexible Sleeping: Your dog can sleep wherever they feel most comfortable—whether that’s on their own bed, in a crate, or even on the bed with me if that is what they are used to. Consistency: While I am not a professional trainer, if you explain your specific commands or house rules to me, I am more than happy to follow them so your dog stays consistent. If you are looking for someone who will give your furry family member the love and attention they deserve, I’d be honored to help. I can’t wait to meet them!
