Pawsome Dog Sitter: Trusted Care!

Experienced dog lover with 7 years of pet care and dog walking experience in the Chicago and Milwaukee areas. I work from home, which allows me to provide constant supervision and attentive care throughout the day. Our home is an active, social environment where dogs play, walk, and relax together. Because of this, all dogs in my care must be comfortable around other dogs and children. We occasionally host multiple friendly dogs at once, and they socialize during their stay. We live near a trail and dog park, perfect for outdoor walks and exercise. We also have a playful 7-year-old who loves dogs and enjoys helping give them lots of attention, playtime, and snuggles. Dogs are welcome on beds and furniture and truly become part of the family while they are here. I also have experience caring for dogs with seizures and special care needs. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where dogs can feel comfortable and have fun during their stay. If your dog requires one-on-one care or has difficulty being around other dogs, this must be requested in advance so we can determine if we are the right fit.

We had a great experience with Giovanna. Wesley was very well cared for, and we truly appreciated the daily updates and photos. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re very grateful and would definitely book again!

Zeus was a happy and tired boy when we picked him up. Giovanna was flexible with drop off and pick up times. She asked lots of questions so she.knew all she could before his stay. We had peace of mind that Zeus was.in good hands while we were away.

Safety, trust & environment

In our home, pets are treated like family members. We provide a safe and loving environment where they have access to a nearby trail and dog park for exercise and adventure. Our daily routine includes regular feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles. Dogs are welcome on beds and furniture, and we ensure they receive any necessary medical care, including support for conditions like seizures. When caring for pets in clients' homes, we maintain the same level of dedication and attention to detail. We follow feeding schedules, provide ample play and exercise opportunities, and adhere to any specific care instructions provided by the client. We prioritize their comfort and well-being, ensuring they feel loved and secure while their owners are away. Overall, our approach to pet care is centered on creating a nurturing and fun-filled environment that meets their physical, emotional, and social needs.

A typical day

When I'm watching pets, I enjoy playing games like fetch with them. If they're up for it, we might go on walks or explore new places together. It's always fun to give them lots of attention and maybe even teach them some new tricks!

Knowing about your pets ahead of time helps me prepare to give them the best care possible and ensures a smooth, stress-free experience for everyone. Every pet has their own unique personality, routines, and needs—whether it's special feeding instructions, favorite toys, medical considerations, or how they interact with other animals. The more I know before we meet, the better I can tailor the care to fit your pet's individual style and make sure they feel comfortable and happy while you're away.
