Their schedule becomes my schedule. I like knowing their usual wake up routine from their usual walk times to their feeding times and will follow it. I also have a pet cam to check on them if I have to run errands!

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 do have back up bowls & blankets & toys * 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 my 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!

Veterinary Experience!

Pet care experience

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!

Giovanna took such great care of my shy, finicky little guy. It was clear how much she cared about his comfort and treated him with such loving care. I loved the updates and it was clear he was at ease with her. She even surprised me with an adorable painting of my pup! 🥰 Jack hopes to come back soon!

Giovanna was amazing! She took wonderful care of my dog, who can be a little anxious at times. She sent regular photo updates throughout the stay, which really put my mind at ease. It truly felt like a home away from home for my pup. I’d absolutely book with her again!
