Pet care experience

Exprienced sitter working remotely!

As a remote worker, my schedule is very flexible! I grew up with 2 cats at home and 2 dogs at my brother's house! I've been taking care of them for over a decade, and recently started taking care of other dogs here on Rover. I have volunteered at several animal shelters across the city such as KittyKind, ASPCA, and Animal Care Centers. As a graduate student in Miami, I took care of cats and dogs for classmates, colleagues, and professors! This experience, in addition to growing up with both cats and dogs, has taught me the value and importance of their lives and what they do for ours. Trusting someone to take care of your pet is not easy (trust me, I know), but as long as you allow me 1% of your trust, I will work my hardest to gain the other 99%!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

For drop-in visits or house sitting, I prefer to meet owners and their pups in person before confirming a booking. I treat all pets as if they were my own; with compassion, admiration, and respect! I will ensure your pet is always happy to see me, whether its for a drop in visit, walk, or anything in between!

Gianluca is great! For a house visit he did not just drop in, he spent time with our puppies and kept us informed all the way through! Will definitely keep booking him

Gianluca is the best! He’s the only one I trust with my dogs. My dogs can be a lot to handle, but with his expertise, patience and skills he can handle them perfectly. Whenever I need to go away and need someone to watch over my babies he’s the first one I call! My dogs love him and I know your dog will too! Trust me, you won’t regret it :)

Gianluca is one of the few people I know who loves animals genuinely with all their hearts. It's hard to find someone who just cares about the pets' well-being, as well as their owners'. As a college student on the pre-vet track, he's volunteered with a non-profit shelter on top of his course work. His brother has two large dogs and he's very good with them, but also incredible with my little shih tzu. He would enjoy walking your dog(s) very much and your dog babies will love him.

Gianluca has been my friend for quite a long time. Within the time we’ve been friends, I can honestly I have never seen his upset. Why? Because he’s the most patient person I’ve ever met in my life. He loves animals as much as I do but he is more caring and careful with them. He always sends me snaps of his cats sleeping and him walking his brother’s dogs. He also took his cat in to the vet because he saw that he wasn’t feeling week, later to find out it was just a gas. No one will be as loving and caring with dogs as much as he will. I would trust him to care for mine if I ever go away.
