Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong dog lover, gentle care
Dogs have been part of my life since I was born. I have lived with dogs of all sizes, big and small, and I understand how each one has its own personality and needs. Today I have two dachshunds back in Brazil, who are basically my kids. Unfortunately I was not able to bring them with me to the United States since it was too expensive and I am only staying here for one year, but they are being very well taken care of by my mom. One of the most meaningful caregiving experiences I had was with an elderly dog who could no longer walk on her own. I carried her during walks, gave her medication on schedule, and slept next to her every night. That taught me real patience and dedication when it comes to caring for a dog with extra needs. I do not have professional pet sitting experience yet, but I have a lifetime of real, hands on experience living with dogs, plenty of love to give, and a genuine commitment to caring for your pet the same way I care for my own.

Arthur is amazing with dogs! He’s very caring, attentive, and loves spending time and playing with them. As a dog owner myself, I know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your pets, but I would definitely trust Arthur to take care of mine. I’m sure he’ll give your dog lots of love and attention!

Schedule
I work from home and have a fully flexible schedule, since my job only requires my computer and I can work from anywhere. The only fixed commitment I have is one gym session a day. This means I have plenty of availability throughout the day and evening for drop-in visits and overnight stays at my clients' homes.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I focus on drop-in visits and overnight stays at the client's home, where I can give the dog full attention in their own environment. I make sure they get their walks, meals, and medication (if needed) on schedule, plenty of playtime and affection, and a calm, comfortable routine while their owners are away. For overnights, I stay the whole night so the dog is never alone and keeps their normal sense of security.
A typical day
Before the stay, I like to understand the dog's normal routine, feeding times, walk schedule, naps, so I can keep things as close as possible to what they're used to. That consistency really helps dogs feel comfortable while their owner is away. If the owner wants me to follow something specific, whether it's a particular walking route, playtime activities, or any other request, I'm happy to accommodate that too
