Happy Pets, Happy Owners

Hi there! I’m Giovanni, and I provide a safe, loving "home away from home" for your furry family members. With years of hands-on experience with my own best friends, I pride myself on being more than just a sitter; I’m a dedicated companion who understands that every dog has a unique personality and set of needs. Specialized Senior Care I have a particular soft spot for senior dogs. I understand that our older friends require a bit more patience, gentle handling, and a keen eye for comfort. Whether it’s sticking to a strict medication schedule, assisting with mobility, or simply providing a quiet spot for a long nap, I’m committed to making their golden years—and their stay with me—as stress-free as possible. Space to Explore One of the best parts of staying with me is the environment. I offer a spacious, secure area where dogs can truly be dogs. * For the high-energy pups: Plenty of room for fetch and zoomies. * For the explorers: Safe perimeters for sniffing and wandering. * For the seniors: Low-impact grass surfaces that are easy on the joints. My Promise to You When your dog is with me, they are treated like family. You can expect: * Regular Photo Updates: So you never have to wonder how they’re doing. * Personalized Routine: I stick to your feeding and walking schedules to maintain consistency. * A Calm Environment: A peaceful home where your pet can feel secure while you're away. FLETC and LEO friendly for those in the local area -

Giovanni did excellent with my reactive GSD. He was patient, understanding, and did excellent with her. She had so much fun, he sent plenty of pictures and updates, and she came back super tired! Definitely would recommend and trust him with your furry babies. We will be using him again!

We had a great experience with this sitter. He sent us a lot of pictures every day which really helped putting us at ease. He always had kind words for Rudy. I would highly recommend.

Giovanni is great with my old hound dog. He is patient while my dog takes his sweet time smelling for the perfect place to mark and potty. I can trust that my dog is taken care of when staying with Giovanni. And my dog always comes back calm after a stay with him

Schedule

Integrating pet care into my schedule is seamless because I work from home full-time. This means your dog wont be waiting by the door for hours for a midday break; instead, they become my "co-worker" for the day, receiving consistent attention and companionship.

Safety, trust & environment

The home has a large fenced in yard with its own custom built dog house ( pictures provided upon request). Dogs are allowed inside and outside as much as they please through a doggy-door built in. Long walks around the neighborhood will be provided as well as updated photos/ videos upon request.

A typical day

Typical day for your dog-stay would include a large backyard for them to run and play fetch in the sun or shade. The neighborhood is friendly and quiet for leash walks. Blythe island is only 5-9 minutes away if approved by owners to take your best friend to the park nearby for an extended walk. Screened in courtyard for some fresh air lounging available
