House Sitting in Arcus

About: Hello! My name is Giovanna, and I’d love to share a little about myself. Growing up, I was never allowed to have pets (other than a goldfish). My dad would take me to the pet store, and I would beg for even a hamster, but he never budged. So naturally, whenever I visited friends or went to gatherings, I was always the one playing with and loving on the pets. I jumped at every opportunity to help care for my friends’ and family’s animals. When I finally moved out on my own, I adopted my very first pet, my cat, Winnie, within 10 days. Not long after, I decided Winnie needed a friend, so I adopted my second cat, Apache. Later, when I moved in with my now husband, I finally convinced him to get a dog, something I had wanted my entire life. After lots of research, I chose a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and that’s how we welcomed Emmett into our family. One of my favorite hobbies is training Emmett, working on obedience, tricks, and even some agility. I love the moment when something finally “clicks” for him (it’s like finally understanding a math problem!). Growing up, people would always say their pets were family, and I didn’t fully understand that until I had my own. Now, I don’t even see them as pets, they are my children. Because of that, I deeply understand the trust and responsibility that comes with caring for someone else’s animals. I will always treat your pets like my own, with love, patience, and attention. I also know how important updates are, so you can expect plenty of photos and check-ins while you’re away (I already have way too many pictures of my own pets!). I’m a military spouse with base access, and I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and cat care. I’d also be happy to incorporate some light training or tricks if you’re interested! In my free time, I’m currently training for the Chicago Marathon, so if your dog loves to run or needs extra exercise, I can definitely keep up! I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for dog walking, drop-ins, and in-home pet sitting on both weekdays and weekends and last minute requests. I’m also happy to accommodate early mornings, evenings, or more active dogs who need extra exercise. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to be proactive, attentive, and cautious in every situation. I stay highly aware of my surroundings, follow routines closely, and take extra care to prevent any risks. Clear communication is just as important to me. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses so you always feel informed and at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for at all times.

“Kadence is fantastic! My dachshunds love her and kept going to “her” room after I returned from my trip. She took great care of the house and my 3 furbabies, sending pictures every day. I felt secure knowing that she was caring for my little family.”

“Cassidy was fantastic! It was such a comfort knowing our babies were taken such good care of. The pictures she sent were so cute and it was obvious by how attached they were to her that the cats and dogs loved her. Cassidy’s maturity and knowledge of pets and their behaviors reassured us they were in great hands. We will definitely use Cassidy again. Highly recommend her!”

“Alexis was a great sitter! She loved our pups and took great care of them, and our house!”

About: I grew up with 15+ dogs, ranging from pits, labs, to pugs. All sizes, all types. My love for animals I would say is the same as my love for people. I love to take the dogs to the park down the street so they can play and run around. I am a veteran. Very reliable. My animals are like my children. I have had horses, hamsters, Guinea pigs, rabbits, birds, dogs and cats. I've had a variety of pets big and small so my experience is all in between. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to message me. I am very flexible to working around others schedules. I can do last minute pretty well and can be there quickly. I do work but it is a flexible job. I have plenty of home for pets as mine have lots of rooms theirselves. I’d prefer to care for them at their home as they are use to it and I would like the same for mine when I leave out of town but I can work around anything.

About: I am SUCH an animal person. I have had pets my whole life, even more unique animals like hamsters, lizards, chickens, GIANT rabbits, and even a tortoise! I love dogs of any size or age. I have experience with big dogs (my precious baby was a Cane Corso at 175 pounds), and I have also had little dogs (my Stella, the 3-pounds yorkie). I took care of both of my dogs until they passed, so I also have skills and patience with senior/elderly animal care. I also dog and cat sit quite frequently in my home town. I love walking and being outside and can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I’m a college student here at Troy so I’m in town every day including the weekends! I have lunch breaks everyday and am always home in the afternoon and evenings. Please reach out if I can be of assistance! I am so excited to be able to host all Rover services! I live in an apartment with lots of different areas outside for your dog to potty/just sniff around and get some fresh air. I also have lots of cat-friendly furniture so your fur baby will feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed in my home!

About: I’ve taken care of many dog breeds including German Shepards, golden doodles, Australian cattle dogs, etc.I have trained service dogs. I have lots of experience with cattle dogs in particular. I have a golden doodle myself. I currently have an open schedule and am very flexible. I take care of my golden doodle daily but otherwise I am free for bookings. Caring for a clients pet in the clients home, I follow any and all instructions given by owners. Some instructions may include feeding, watering, walking, or letting the pet out. I also play with pets if the owner prefers.

About: I've taken care of my puppy ever since I was 12, she's eight years old now and still a big part of my family! I also have take care of our senior dog for ten years along with our cat for five years. I trained my puppy basic tricks like sitting, fetching, and being gentle (for example: biting a treat out of your hand.) I am working part-time and my available days are weekdays, weeknights, and overnight. My times on these days a flexible. I'm not available on Mondays and weekends so I can take care of other things. I will provide a small set up fence for puppies and small dogs if a fence is not already on the yard. I will also provide a collar/vest and leash for your dogs safety.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals ranging from dogs, cats, chickens, and lizards! We’ve had animals in my own family for as long as i can remember we currently have a dog and chickens and maybe cows soon! I have a personal love for animals! If for some reason my dog Oliver doesn’t get along with your pet I live in a separated part of the house so it will be very easy for me to keep them out of contact. I’m currently working full time but i’m off most saturdays and mondays, and then just whenever else they do not schedule me! I’m very communicative and will work with you as best I can! I care for my own pets with love and care making sure they always have what they need and definitely things they want too lol! In others homes I would show them the same love as my own pets and follow whatever instructions left to a T.
