Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable and experient pet sitting
Hi, I’m João! I’m a personal trainer and PhD researcher with a flexible routine, which means I have plenty of time to provide reliable, high-quality care for your pets without rushing. As a cat and dog owner myself with years of pet-sitting experience, I know how important it is to find someone dependable, structured, and attentive to care for our fur babies. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog/cat walking services across Newcastle and nearby areas. I’m experienced in handling different animal personalities and care routines, so feel free to drop me a message to discuss how I can help look after your pets! Cheers

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
So I can look after your pets properly, I will need to know as much as possible about them: routine, diet, allergies, medicines, behaviour alone and with other animals, in and out of home, activities that they enjoy etc. Please make sure to give me key information in thay so I can be sure to not change their routines and not lose anything they need, to prevent unnecessary stress for them and a pleasurable time for us.
Ratings and reviews
João is a fantastic cat sitter, great to communicate with and he knows cats really well. So happy to leave our beloved Dandelion with João. Highly recommend!
João is a fantastic dog sitter! I can't recommend him any more than I have in previous reviews, but he is careful, thoughtful and very reliable
João is a champ. He managed to get on very well with my slightly-troubled pooch, and looked after the flat tremendously. He arrived very promptly (also came for a try-out walk before the stay, going above and beyond) and was very communicative all the time. Would definitely recommend!
Joao was an incredible carer for Capitu. He came to meet her beforehand and to learn about the place and her needs, which was amazing of him to do so. During his stay, he sent pics and videos and kept me updated it everyday. Capitu loved him, she is very active and he knew how to handle her. I definitely recommend his services! Thank you Joao! Capitu will miss you!
João is a wonderful sitter, you really couldn't find someone more perfect to watch your pet. Easy to communicate with, attentive (and patient!) with my naughty dog, kind and reliable.
João took excellent care of Lisbela (my senior Labrador) and Mwanito (my cat) while staying at our house during our travels. He sent us plenty of videos and pictures, showing the love and attention he gave to our pets. In addition, João is incredibly organized and left our house tidy and spotless upon our return. Communication with João was seamless, and he was always kind and thoughtful. I couldn't recommend him more highly. Our pets adore João! Thanks to him, we can travel with peace of mind, knowing our home and furry family members are in the best hands.
