Friendly and caring ready to look after your pet!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is João and I am pleased to virtually meet you and your furry friend/S! 😁 I have several years experience working with animals, caring for all sorts of different dogs, cats and other more exotic animals! My own dog and cats are back home in Portugal, but they love to Skype me (they are very chatty) so I get to see them often! Way back when in 2014 I began volunteering with Borrow my Doggy and haven’t looked back. I was able to walk and offer boarding for a number of different and lovely dogs, building lasting and valued relationships with dogs and owners! Since then, I have continued to volunteer but I have also taken on more professional employment with certain clients in both north and south London, again offering walking, caring and boarding, as well as popping in to feed or play for an hour or more. I have fantastic references and two of my clients are happy to offer references if needed. I have completed a certificate in animal care in kennels and shelters. I have also started volunteering with the Cinnamon Trust since the start of the pandemic to help elderly neighbours with pets at this strange and uncertain time. Finally, I am happy, energetic and kind and very very trustworthy. I would love to care for your pet and know how unnerving it can be to trust others with your little (or big!) loved ones! I will be on call and able to text pics and update you. Looking forward to meeting and hearing from you soon, have a good day! 😄

Joao was a great sitter for Margo and we will definitely rebook again. Margo is an anxious rescue dog so we were looking for experienced people to look after her. Joao is very experienced with dogs and provided daily updates and photos, which helped put us at ease.

Thanks for taking Baxter out today, he looks like he had a great time and is happily snoozing away the rest of the day now!

Thank you so much for lovely service. She enjoyed her walk and came back in good spirits. I appreciated the image and the communication before. I felt very comfortable knowing Cathy was in safe hands. Will rebook soon! Thanks ?

Information Joao G. would like to know about your pet

It would be great to speak in detail about your pet. I know each pet is special and unique. Feeding, health and walking preferences and play styles are all important. I also have experience with nervous dogs or dogs that are scared of other dogs or certain items and to be careful with movements and noises at home. I would love to discuss everything before starting and believe an open dialogue in the first few visits (with texts when I am sitting or calls if needed) works to ensure I know all I need to!

A typical day

I have a lovely cosy and safe flat in De Beauvoir in north London, with a safe and secure balcony for a guard dog to watch out! We also have a gated and fenced garden/grass area, and seven parks close by. I would provide all manner of services to meet your needs, and I am happy to discuss details regarding feeding times, complex issues, health concerns on walks and so on. I fully appreciate all dogs and cats and animals are unique and have special needs. I work to get to know you and your pet and ensure they are well looked after and we build a loving caring relationship. Happy to pick up and drop off or whatever works for you. I am very client focused and we can always figure out the best way to do things.
