Highlights
Pet care experience
Attentive, dedicated and compassionated pet-sitter
I grew up in the countryside of Brazil, spending much of my childhood on my family’s farm, surrounded by both domestic and wild animals, from monkeys and birds to cattle, farm dogs, and cats. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and I’ve had a dog by my side for as long as I can remember. The one who stayed with us the longest was Batman, a gentle giant who lived to be 16 years old. Caring for him through his later years, including multiple surgeries and daily medications, taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and consistent care. Today, my family back home has three cats, so I’m also well-experienced in feline care. Whether it’s playful puppies, senior dogs with special needs, or affectionate cats, I provide responsible, loving, and attentive care to ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I’m at your place, I’ll take care of all your dog’s needs, feeding, walks, and playtime. If your dog needs medication, I can handle that too. I’ll always make sure they’re cared for with love and attention.
Ratings and reviews
We've had the honor of a pure, kind, sweet angle-person to take care of our beloved two dogs for a whole week. With Barbara as our dogsitter, it was by far the calmest vacation I ever had! knowing my precious little ones are in such good hands, I could see it in every picture she sent us daily. When we returned We've found happy dogs, impeccable house, I actually think everything was better than we left. Thank you Barbara for everything and hopefully we'll be able to use your service again (I'd adopt you to the family if it was an option ☺️).
very trustful !
I can’t recommend Barbara enough! She has cared for my pets with so much love, patience, and responsibility. Barbara was attentive to details, followed instructions carefully, and always makes sure they felt comfortable. What stood out to me most was how reliable and communicative she is. She truly goes above and beyond, and it’s clear she genuinely loves animals. Any pet would be lucky to have her as their sitter!
Bárbara is an outstanding human with a deep, caring heart. She loves pets, and they love her back. I can affirm that when she was with my dog, Gaia, a medium-sized mutt, they instantly became friends, and she knew what to do and what not to do. Overall, I could see she could connect well and take care of her in my stead. I know she has also been taking care of another little lovely dog for a while now, and they have created a great, loving bond. For that reason, I definitely recommend her as a pet caregiver!
Franchement, Bárbara est géniale avec les animaux! 🐾 Elle s’en occupe comme si c’étaient les siens: câlins, jeux, balades, tout y passe! On voit qu’elle aime vraiment les bêtes et qu’elles le lui rendent bien. Je pars toujours l’esprit tranquille en sachant qu’elle veille sur mon compagnon à quatre pattes. Bref, je recommande les yeux fermés!

Schedule
I’m currently on summer vacation, so I’m available throughout the week and on weekends. Starting this fall, I will begin a part-time internship at an INGO while pursuing my MSc at UNIGE/IHEID. During that period, I’ll be mostly available on weekends, with the possibility of weekday availability depending on the flexibility of your needs. I speak Portuguese, Spanish, English and Italian.
