Flexible and friendly pet sitter

Pet care experience

My name is Joao. I'm 27 years old and live in an apartment on Wildmill - Bridgend. I have a full-time job on the IT industry and have Pet sitting as a side gig. I've had the privilege of pet sitting for multiple families since I was young, gaining a lot of experience. I live 35 minutes away from Cardiff, and have access to different parks, scenic walks along the river and a nature trail located a short walk away from my house. My background with pets stems from a young age. Growing up I always had dogs and cats in the house. Since I moved to UK, I never owned a pet. This is why I have opened my doors to other dogs. I would love to provide the same care and love I would give to my pets to yours. What will you get with my services: 24/7 Contact and Support: If there is any issues or concerns, you can always contact me either through the rover app or text messages. I ensure that responses will be made ASAP. Regular Updates: I understand that you miss your pet, so it’s ensured that you will get regular updates throughout the day on their activities and welfare. Picture Updates: I won't just send you regular updates, I will show you how much fun your dog is having. Every booking will come with regular pictures (if requested), just so you can have a little memory of their stay with us. Double the attention: As me and my partner are pet lovers, our dog will not only receive attention from 1 person but from 2 people. This means that your dog will get double the care and love. Never alone: As me and my partner work from home, your dog will never be left alone for extended periods of time. Meaning 24-hour care and attention for your pet. I have experience with multiple pets and welcome all dogs of different shapes and sizes. However, if you want to see if I am the perfect fit, I would recommend a Meet and Greet Before booking, I will need to know a few details about your pet, for better and safer care. 1) Your pet's temperament 2) Do they react to certain sounds; are they worries by anything? (Separation Anxiety) 3) Any history of aggressive behaviour? 4) Any allergies or known medical conditions? 5) Behaviour on a lead (e.g Pulling) 6) Is your pet fully trained? Additionally, a short description of your pet's daily activities will allow me to know the best way to look after your pet. It will also ensure that your dog will have the same experience as if they were at home. Some ideas could be how frequent do they go on walks or any favourite activities they enjoy. Those are all precautions set in place to ensure that your pet gets the best care possible and that we are the perfect match for your dog! All this information can be given via the Rover messages service when requesting a booking. Please note that, when boarding, all bookings cover a 24-hour period. If your booking runs over the 24-hour period, Rover will charge an automatic fee. - An extension of 2 to 8 hours will be charged at half the nightly rate. - An extension of over 8 hours will be charged at a full nightly rate.

João was the perfect dogsitter! Very accommodating, flexible, excellent communication, got on like a house on fire with our dog, couldn’t ask for a safer pair of hands! Will 100% be using João’s services in the near future!

João and Bruna are amazing with Watson. He can be quite hard work and his health is deteriorating. But João and Bruna have the experience to look after elderly dogs. Thank you again! Fabulous boarders.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog's physically and mentally. We'll play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, and explore a big park near my house.
