Pet care fits well into my routine! I’m a student at Rutgers and commute to campus for classes Tuesday through Thursday, but I’m home in the mornings and evenings on those days. The rest of the week (Friday through Monday), I’m fully available and flexible. This schedule allows me to give pets consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

When staying in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping pets comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection so they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I also respect the client’s home and keep things clean and tidy throughout the stay.

Information Luca G. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs. I always ask about feeding schedules, medical conditions, allergies, triggers (like loud noises or other animals), and how they react to new people. I also like to know what they enjoy—favorite toys, walking habits, and any quirks—so I can make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible.

A typical day

A typical day with pets includes a mix of fun, exercise, and comfort! I start by making sure they’re fed and have fresh water, followed by a nice walk or some playtime to get their energy out. Throughout the day, I’ll stick to their routine—whether that’s more walks, bathroom breaks, or just keeping them company. I love doing engaging activities like fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle toys, or simply relaxing with them and giving plenty of affection. I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around animals my whole life—thanks to my grandparents, I grew up caring for horses, donkeys, and other large animals from a young age. At home, we’ve always had at least two dogs, along with cats and fish, so I’m experienced in feeding, exercising, training, and giving lots of love. I truly enjoy being around animals of all kinds and treat every pet like family.

Luca was amazing at taking care of our cat and home while we were away. Excellent communicator and very professional. Definitely would recommend to those in the area.

I’ve watched Luca care for a variety of pets over the years - cats, dogs, fish, donkeys, horses and birds, and he brings the same calm, reliable attention to each one. From early morning dog walks to routine aquarium maintenance, he follows care schedules precisely and is an excellent communicator. Luca sends clear, timely updates including photos, feeding logs, and quick notes on behavior - so you always know how your pet is doing. He has a steady, compassionate presence that animals feel comfortable in and you can trust that any pet in his care is in truly excellent hands.
