About Giacomo

About me:

Since I adopted my first cat I realized that what brings me more joy is to be around animals. They are smart, loving creature without any malicious thoughts. I respect them in their personalities and I like to understand them. I do have a cat right now and will adopt more, but If I can help others pets too, it will bring me much joy. 

Anytime I find a pet around on my walks I always get worried if is a "fugitive" and check if they have a collar or Facebook groups for escaped pets. I try to make sure they have a home, food water.I can't stand any violence or harm done to animals.

I am here because I want spend more time with pets who need help(sitting). I work from home so I can easily relocate if needed for more days, I am careful of any need they might have, I have a cat with special needs so I know what it means leave him for few days and be worried that they might not be treated as you do. That's my first concern too! Will the person follow my instructions? Will they take care of my loved one as I do? Being a pet owner allows me to know very well these thoughts. Let me take care of your loved one as you would do!


Also I will be available for feed pills/treatment, house-sitting, water plants, bring in mail, I will be available during the week and most weekends. I can stay all day or most of the day with the pet, groom, go for walk(as much as the pet need). I am in Hintonburg/Westboro area and travel by bike/walk. If in the radius of 2 km I will be able to get there, shoot me a message and we can plan a meet up!

One time visit:

I can visit your home for few hours after 4 pm in working days and I am more flexible during weekend. This is especially for feeding, make sure they are ok, play with them. 

Two time visit: 

Since I work from home and my hours are not super flexible, I'd like to offer to relocate to your house for the entire duration of my shift and as long as your pet needs me. That would mean that I can spend between 8 and 10 hours with your pet, make sure he has company and take care of him during the day (play, groom, sing to him :D ) This is especially for those pets that require more company time but you don't require an overnight stay

House sitting: 

As said before, I work from home and I can spend most of the time with your pet during the day too! So especially if your pet needs company at night and day, let me know and I can work directly from your house!

Giacomo was wonderful! As the first time using this service as well as leaving our kitties for a weekend, Giacomo was really conscientious of that and had great communication with us. Made the process a lot easier!
