Bringing the Love to Your Pet

Hey there, I’m Giovanni! I'm a pet-loving Midwesterner with a solid track record caring for both dogs and cats. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously by creating a calm, safe, and genuinely caring environment wherever they’re most comfortable. What sets me apart is the level of attention and consistency I’m able to provide. Since I work remotely, I’m able to spend real, quality time with your pet and pick up on their habits, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, whether that’s an energetic dog who needs plenty of exercise or a more reserved pet who just wants a calm presence nearby. I’m also attentive to routines, medications, and any specific care instructions, and I take pride in being reliable and communicative. On top of that, I genuinely enjoy photographing the pets I care for, so you’ll often receive a few thoughtful, candid shots that capture their personality. Something special you can keep beyond the booking.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping everything as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific instructions you provide to help your pet feel comfortable and secure. I’m mindful of creating a calm environment and paying attention to each pet’s behavior and needs. Communication is important to me, so you can expect consistent updates and transparency while you’re away.

Giovanni arrived early. He was professional, kind, assertive, and full of knowledge. We will definitely be using him again.

Giovanni was excellent caring for our pup! He kept in touch daily and provided plenty of pictures! Hopefully he is available to us again as we would definitely book with him.

Giovanni was great! From the initial meeting he was polite and attentive to care instructions. It seems like he and Teddy had a great time while I was away. He and teddy went on walks and to the park. I received some wonderful photos too. I came home to happy healthy dog whose medicine has administered correctly. House was kept in order and he even brought a package in for me. Definitely recommend Giovanni and will be using him again!

I am so thankful for Giovanni! I was new to the Rover App and honestly didn’t expect to find someone who would be willing to take care of two nine week old energetic puppies that were not even potty trained. Giovanni agreed to puppy sit in my home for three days! He was extremely patient, gentle, and kind with Cedar and Ivy. From day one I was confident that Gio would care for the puppies the same way I do. He was communicative with me regarding his arrival time and during the day he provided me with an update on the puppies. It was a pleasure getting to know him. My only regret is that I didn’t get a picture of Gio with the puppies! Next time, Gio! 😊

He took our 2 rescue dogs for 10 days. They came home happy and healthy. He even took them to the beach! Very happy with his service.

Schedule

Pet care fits really naturally into my routine since I work remotely. I’m able to be present throughout the day, which means your pet gets consistent attention, care, and companionship instead of just quick visits. Whether it’s drop-ins, walks, or staying in your home, I can easily adapt my schedule to match your pet’s needs and routine. I also make it a point to send regular photo and text updates so you always know how things are going.

Giovanni can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Before getting started, I like to learn as much as possible about your pet so I can provide the best care. Things like their daily routine, temperament, any medical needs, and what they enjoy most all help me tailor the experience. I’m especially experienced with small to medium-sized dogs and all cats, but I’m always happy to chat and see if it’s a good fit.
