The best time for your furry friend

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my entire life! I grew up in Italy with eight puppies. The oldest one got almost 18 years old. It was definitely an experience having dogs literally grow up with you! But the loves of my life are Stella & Jill (profile pic). I adopted them four years ago when I moved to the U.S. (L.A) I’ve taken care of them ever since. I just love going to the dog park, watching them interact with other dogs, let them play etc. I definitely miss that since moving to NYC and would love to get that feeling back! I’ve now been a part of Rover for a little bit over a year and couldn’t love it more. I’ve taken care of dogs any age, cats (with disabilities) and birds. Every day I get to meet new fur babies and I couldn’t be more happy☺️ I’m currently working part time at Trader Joe’s (mostly evenings and weekends) I definitely believe that my schedule can accommodate yours and your pets need. My dogs in Italy would always roam around freely while my dogs in the U.S. used to spend some time in the crate. I’m very much adaptable to any service may needed. Used to take care of my neighbors three dogs and currently my roommates. Neither walking, feeding or playing etc has ever been an issue. I am currently working part time at Trader Joe’s, have a pretty flexible schedule and can’t wait to spend lots of time with your fur baby. I unfortunately don’t have a yard but prospect park is just a few walking minutes away. My apartment is pretty spacious and your babys can roam around as freely as they want.

Luca is wonderful. He dropped in to take care of my cat, Cherry Selene for a few days and was consistent and clear with communication, photos and video the entire time. Cherry Selene immediately warmed up to him and now she misses him. Thank you Luca!

Luca was fabulous! Incredibly nice person, confident & caring with our two big dogs and very communicative throughout our entire time away. Can’t recommend enough!

Luca took excellent care of Phoenix while I was traveling! He took her on two walks per day and even spent some quality time afterwards petting her and giving her treats.

Luca did a great job watch our dog Finn. He was highly communicative and responsive. We'd definitely book him again.

I’ve had puppies with lots of energy who just want to play, walk/ran or go to the dog park. But also adults/seniors who rather cuddle and just love the company. I’ve given medication (orally or in food), assisted them (carrying down stairs), prepared special meals etc. I know the feeling of leaving your baby with a stranger and there is nothing more nerve wrecking than not knowing what’s going on. I take thousands of pictures and videos to the point where the pet is annoyed haha I want the owner to feel like they’ve made the right choice and knowing they are in great hands☺️
