Pet care experience

VERY EXPERIENCED animal caretaker!

I love animals and have always had dogs and cats throughout my life until I started doing a lot of traveling and working overseas many years back. Now that I’m back, I get to love on your little friends in your home while you are away! No need to board them - I come to you! I can also take care of chickens and other critters. I’ve even taken care of a pig and a goat! I’ve house sat for friends and have done some long stay house sits (on trusted Housesitters.) I’ve had repeat clients on Rover. Your animals will be very well taken care of while you’re gone. I’ll walk them, feed them, and love on them. I’ll even take care of your plants and garden, if you like....and I will leave your house as clean as it was when you left. A note: If you have a large dog that is not good on a leash, I will have a difficult time walking them.

Gianine always does a great job with our critters. They all require meds of some kind and she keeps them on track.

I couldn’t have asked for a better pet and house sitter! Gianine was so courteous and flexible and communicative. Highly, highly, highly recommended.

Gianine was wonderful with my fearful, anxious dog. He had a lot of issues with routine and she was patient and accommodating throughout. The updates were great and I could tell they really bonded (more than I expected from this scaredy cat!). The house was clean and orderly when I returned. Thank you Gianine!

Gianine can host up to 1 pet per night
Let me know ahead of time if your pet has special needs. If there are medicines that need to be given or behaviors I need to be aware of
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
