Veterinary Experience!

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Giovanna, I worked as Veterinary clinic receptionist/vet assist and even got to manage a clinic for 7 years, I did it all! While doing that I met a lot of amazing families and began pet sitting on the side. I left the veterinary clinic field in order to focus on school and pet sitting. I now do pet sitting full time and enjoy the brighter side of pet care! I live in bluff heights area with my lovely partner Maria. We are happy to board your furbaby overnight in our cozy apartment. I have the energy to handle a puppy, or work out your active pup or even just have a chill laid back day with your senior pup! Because of my extensive background in the veterinary field I am familiar with all medications and special handling of pets with special needs. You can trust me to make sure they get all the love because I know how important and valuable our little friends are to our lives. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have! @THELBCPETSITTER on instagram! I do pet sitting full time, and do classes online. I am home 24/7 and I'm available especially for those last minute walks, or if you need to go out of town, send me a message, if my calendar here shows I am available then I am! I have furry friends outside of rover that book me way in advance so I make sure to sync both my calendars. But please feel free to book me advance! I have a very dog-friendly spacious one bedroom apartment, just up one flight of stairs. My furry guests get plenty of potty breaks as well as walks ( I live in the best dog friendly neighborhood ). Let me know their routine, and I will follow it. For over night pet sitting in your home, let me know their routine, I will follow it. I appreciate you trusting me with your home and also available to take care of your plants and make sure your place is nice and tidy when you get back!

Great experience with Giovanna taking care of our puppy! We were nervous about leaving him, but he was well taken care of and also got some great socialization while he was there.

This was the second time our pup stayed with Giovanna- this time for a few days while we traveled. We were very anxious as we’ve never left him with anyone other than family while traveling, and our little guy has a lot of separation anxiety. She made us and him feel so comfortable. She sent us so many pictures/updates, and he warmed up to Giovanna and her partner very fast (it usually takes him a really long time!). He was even snuggling with them both/letting them pick him up by the end of the few days which is super rare! He seemed so happy when we got there to pick him up and he will definitely be excited to go back and stay with them again.

Giovanna was wonderful with our puppy Danny! She took tons of photos and kept us updated Shri g her entire stay. I highly recommend Giovanna if you are looking for a sweet, and reliable Rover.

Giovanna was so great with our nervous pup! We did an overnight trial stay before a longer trip and will feel very comfortable leaving him with her while out of town. She was very caring and patient with him and sent lots of updates/pictures. It was clear she really cares about animals and wanted to do whatever she could to make our little guy feel comfortable ?

Information Giovanna M. would like to know about your pet

What time is their usual feeding time and their walks. It would also be helpful to know what you do with your pets daily, what your pet dislikes and LOVES. It would be helpful for overnight boarding in my home for you to bring their favorite toys, blanket, pet bed. I like to try to keep the same routine, this is important because it makes it less stressful for them. Because although I am good vibes, they will miss you and stress out just a little so I try my best to make it less stressful for them ( *treats & walks & cuddles GALORE*). I do not mind taking care of pets that need to take medication daily, I can administer insulin on diabetic pets, as well as subcutaneous fluids, nail trims, baths, medicated baths. For special needs pets I'm experienced in assisting to relieve their bladder etc. Whatever your pet may need, I am able to help as I have been very fortunate to gain knowledge and experience in doing it all.

A typical day

I enjoy taking them out on plenty of potty breaks around our dog friendly neighborhood. I will walk at your dog's pace, for exercise or just to stop and sniff! Walks are their fun time, and fun is what I am all about! I enjoy training puppies, so If I'm taking care your puppy you may come home to some new tricks!
