Pet care experience

Cat AND dog lover!

My family has always had dogs and cats that have lived long and healthy lives. My partner and I have one cat in our home who we’ve successfully trained at letting her know she gets special treats by sitting down and letting us put her collar on her. While we cannot have dogs in our current apartment, I have a lot of experience with dogs ranging from husky’s to Maltese (two dogs that my family currently has as pets).

Giovani is a ROCK STAR...And I don't mean one of those old and fading rockstars that you kinda remember their one hit...I mean bonafide 20 Stadium Selling-out America/European/Asia Touring ROCKSTAR!!! Giovanni was able to help us out over a stretch with very short notice flawlessly. Our dog is a challenge to say the least but Giovani was able to get Woody to warm up to him and actually act like a pretty likable pettable dog! He kept us up to date and sent daily reports and pics that reassured us that Woody was in Great Hands and doing well. Thanks G...Good to meet you and get to know you. - Ken Christy & Woody

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I am currently working on my dissertation which often results in me sitting and writing for hours. I use walks as mental breaks often and I’d love use that time to take a dog for a walk or offer a cat (and dog) some playing time.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I have looked after my own dogs when they’re sick and need to be medicated. I also have no problems with duties like scooping the litter box or cleaning up after dogs during walks or accidents.

Pets

A typical day

One of my favorite activities with dogs is to run (if possible) or go on nice walks. I know all dogs are different so if they just want to sit and people watch, I’m happy doing that as well!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Please let me know if there are any behavioral things about your dog that I need to know beforehand. I’ve dealt with dogs that are pretty high energy and some that are low energy so I just want to be as prepared as I can to give your dog the best experience (and me too :) )
