Every pet is treated as my own🐾

Pet care experience

My experience in taking care of pets started more than 7 years ago. Back in my hometown, there are many stray puppies and kittens that have to survive day by day, walking miles to find food, water, and shelter for the night. As I grew up, I noticed this heart-wrenching reality, and there wasn't much a single human could do to protect all of those animals. Fortunately, I found a group of people who shared my thoughts, and together, we began doing what we could to help these needy animals, who often just needed some affection to brighten their day. Since then, I have dedicated my time to creating a better environment for any pet I've come across, either by volunteering at local shelters or simply by providing food and water when I encountered them on the streets. It's not easy for every dog or cat to find a forever home. My professional journey began five years ago when I moved to the U.S. My neighbors asked me to take care of their two dogs since they traveled frequently. They then referred me to other families, and the cycle continued. I don't view this as a 'job' but rather as something that warms my heart and brings me immense happiness. This is what sets me apart from other pet sitters. Every pet will always be treated as if they were my own. ♥️

It was our first time using Giovanna and I was very nervous that Ruby will not settle in but she did an awesome job looking after her. Ruby did not want to come home which is always a good sign. I will be using Giovanna for her dog sitting again and would recommend her. She is very communicated and sending lots of photos of your pet. Thank you!

Information Giovanna F. would like to know about your pet

Before we commence your pet's stay, I'd appreciate knowing if they have any specific conditions or requirements. I'm more than willing to provide the necessary support. Additionally, understanding their preferences or aversions would assist me in preparing my home for their visit. Lastly, it's crucial to have an emergency contact for their veterinarian readily available.

A typical day

I enjoy engaging with dogs and ensuring they remain active, especially if they have a lot of energy. I'm also aware that some dogs may not be as inclined to play vigorously or jump around, but I will still do my best to keep them content and engaged.
