Safety, trust & environment

We'll prioritise safety, comfort, and a calm environment for every pet. Me and my partner Lara, will keep areas clean and secure, follow feeding and medication routines carefully, and give plenty of attention and supervision. Pets in our care feel safe, loved, and stress-free, whether in my home or theirs.

Information joao A. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for any pet, I like to know their daily routine, energy level, and any special needs. Also, if there are any treats they love would be great!

A typical day

We love keeping pets happy, active, and mentally stimulated. For dogs, we enjoy taking them on walks expecially around theobalds grove as they have many places to interact with other dogs and anymals or if prefered to go to valey national park. We also know how older dogs prefer gentle strolls and lots of comfort, which is ideal for us expecially in the wintertime. For cats, I use interactive toys like feather wands and lasers, and offer window-watch time. I always match activities to each pet’s personality so they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for.

Experienced & Loving Pet Care for Dogs & Cats

Pet care experience

Lara and I, have strong cat-care experience, from daily feeding and playtime to deep-cleaning litter boxes and keeping routines consistent. Lara has rescued her 2 black cats, Cove and Stumpy, from being thrown out when they were young and has been taking care of them since then. We're both comfortable with shy or senior cats and can handle simple medication needs. We're patient, reliable, and genuinely love making cats feel safe, relaxed, and understood.

Our dog really loves when Joao and Lara looks after him. They send regular updates and take such good care of our home.

Joao and Lara looked after my dog for a week! He is quite nervous and takes a while to warm up to strangers, but he was clearly so well taken care of as he was very relaxed when we returned home. The house was also very taken care of as was spotless when we returned. Thank you very much
