Not only I have an extreme love for our furry friends, I have had dogs since I was 9, that is over 20 years living with them where I've watched and helped my parents train them! I have had a Dutch-hound, german shepherd, Canadian shepherd, 2 border collies, a pit bull and a rottweiler! Born and raised in Brazil I have moved to the U.S to pursue my dream as an artist, and have been doing so for more than 5 years! Now I work as a professional film composer and songwriter, and although the extra income would be wonderful I'm doing this because I really want to and missing being around dogs! I'm also preparing to apply for my Ph.D. degree at UC Berkeley, where I have been preparing my proposal for the Ethno-musically department, and spending countless hours writing and expanding my thesis. Since I make my own hours I can be an excellent last-minute walker! I'm mostly always home working on my next score and would not mind taking a break to meet and take care of a loving canine! Being out in nature is my favorite thing, and there is no better company then pets! If you are looking for a polite, well-educated and flexible person with an immense love for dogs please don't hesitate to choose me!
