Gravy's country get away

Hi! I'm Giovanna and if there's one thing about me that hasn't changed throughout my life it is my never ending love for animals. Our furry family members are the under lining of what makes us happy most days. They greet you with love and hope every day and that is exactly what we want to do for your pet in your absence. I'm very much an attention to detail person and would be good in case of health issues where it's necessary to insure that a certain type of treatment is provided or just for a ball of love that needs supervision. I'm located just outside of Waxahachie and we have a great rustic vibe here!

Giovanna is always my go-to visitor when I travel to DFW! She’s affordable and conveniently located along I-35, but even more important, my dogs absolutely LOVE her. She has a great space, and she clearly loves pups well. Anytime we roll up to her place for a night or two of boarding, they get so excited! Thanks Giovanna 💖

We’ve booked with Giovanna now for multiple trips and she always does an amazing job taking care of our babies. She keeps us updated consistently and I can tell they enjoy staying with her.

My pittie loved Giovanna and I felt very comfortable having her in my home and with my girl while I was out of town. Would definitely use her services again!

We love Giovanna! We don’t worry about our fur babies at all while away because we know she is taking great care of them.

Schedule

I co-ran a 2 million dollar travel center for a year, and was always on call. I relied on my friends to care for my pets while I was away. It broke my heart. I realized my calling has and always will be animal care. It's for that reason that I am proud be an animal care giver again and will always work my schedule around my clients needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a senior pup and a pup with severe food allergies. Which makes me very aware how important it is to be consistent with schedules, regiments and requests. No matter the length I am always willing to go the extra mile to make a guest comfortable.

41 to 100 lbs

Giovanna can host up to 4 pets per night
I would love to know if you doggie is completely potty trained, so that I can take up any rugs. I would also like to know if they are ok with other animals such as cats. If not that's not a problem depending on the stay duration. Most importantly I'd prefer all babies be dropped off before noon, this is for two reasons. One it makes it easier for the babies to handle the first night away. Two it ensures you get your money's worth. If that's not possible we may be able to make other arrangements
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
