Important Questions for Giana
Why should you trust me with your dog?
I do believe that this kind of job requires big hearts. I absolutely love all kinds of animals and will always make sure that any animal in my care feels safe and comfortable. I have always been the one to call when family and friends needed care for their pets.
I have spent years working outdoors and finally finding something that combined both things I love, is more like a gift than a duty. My goal when I start my day is to make your dogs happy. My goal is to get your dogs excited when they see my van pull in your driveway. It’s to give them that freedom with their best furry friends, and bring them home in absolute bliss!
What do you enjoy about working at Active Dog?
I enjoy so many things working here. Starting with the staff, Active Dog has some of the best people I have ever met working on it’s team. It is so incredible to be a part of a staff that is so reliable, transparent, and motivated.
Secondly, the dogs of course! They never, ever make the day boring. Monday has actually been a day to look forward to. Lastly, the hike! Before Active Dog, I didn’t think something like this would be possible. Getting out there on the hike and seeing all the dogs play, run, jump, and swim all together is as incredible as you may think it is.
What did you do before you worked at Active Dog and why did you decide to work with dogs?
Before working at Active Dog, I was working three jobs while going to school full time. In the summer I would work on my local farm, as well as waitressing and retail. Once covid hit my waitressing and retail job closed down as I started my summer internship with my town’s Conservations Corp. It was an incredible experience!
In July things started opening up little by little. I was back at my jobs as well as fully graduated from college. I began to look for full-time jobs and found Active Dog on indeed and called Eric immediately after I applied! Dogs + Nature = A Dream!

⭐️Dog(s) of the Week⭐️ MABEL & PEARL
Mabel started hiking with AD about 2 years ago and her little sister Pearl joined a year later. They make the sweetest golden duo, and though they love their pack mates, they spend most of their hikes wrestling with each other! Mabel was a little apprehensive when her energetic little sister first came home, but it didn’t take long before the two became the best of friends! Mabel and Pearl are inseparable! They do have their differences though. Pearl is always first out the door when the AD van pulls up, whereas Mabel takes a moment to wake up from her nap before making her way to the door. Pearl likes to spend her van ride playing while Mabel prefers to relax right behind the driver seat. This is where the differences end though! These girls hike alike! While out on the trails Mabel and Pearl love to cover lots of ground! They don’t stop moving and only slow down to partake in a game of Tug of War, usually with each other, or play in a mud puddle. Though they love their blonde fur, they enjoy seeing what it’s like to be brunettes for the day. Mabel and Pearl are as fun as they are loving and we are so happy they are a part of our AD family! Congratulations Mabel and Pearl!!! 💛💛 ... See MoreSee Less
