House Sitting • May 21, 2026

Giovanna is the best! She stayed at my place overnight to look after my dogs while I was away and honestly I couldn’t have asked for better. She kept sending me pics and updates the, which made me feel so much better about leaving them. Super responsible, sweet, and caring. Came back to two happy, relaxed pups.. couldn’t be happier! 100% calling her again.

Giovanna is amazing. I am so grateful we found her to take care of our dog during our wedding and walking her every week! She’s so caring, understanding, and the nicest person. Thank you for everything!

Dog Walking • Aug 02, 2025

Ianto (our dog) told us he ABSOLUTELY LOVED his walk with Giovanna! For our part, we were very happy with her punctuality, her gentle approach with Ianto and her communication with us during the walk indicating that all was going well. Since this was the first time we were leaving him with someone outside of our family, we were a bit anxious. But Giovanna was very confidence-inspiring! Thanx Giovanna!

Schedule

I'm an international student from Brasil, and taking care of animals is a perfect and convenient way for me to stay close to the animal touch and universe, something I always had back home. My classes are mainly during the morning and afternoons which makes my schedule pretty flexibe. During the summer, I have most of my weekdays available.

Safety, trust & environment

Having worked with multiple animals at an animal sanctuary, one of the most important things the volunteers learn is to respect each pet's unique personality, be that in the way they play or communicate. Building up from that, I had the experience of tutoring three *very* different cats, I can understand how each has a nature of their own. I extend that same philosophy for each animal I meet. They're beautiful souls and us humans are lucky to be able to live with them. I'm an attentive, empathetic, patient and kind person, and promise to take well care of them while you're away.

A typical day

I'll make sure your pet have tons of enrichment activities. I'm very good at balancing between calm and energetic, which makes me a good company either for puppies/kitties/high energy pets or seniors. Expect nice walks and a looot of belly scratches. :)
