Trustful and experient pet sitting

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is João, I came from Brazil to do my PhD research a few months ago and, since then, has been working as pet sitting in Newcastle. I had to leave my two cats under my friend's care during the period I am here (sadly but also thankfully), so I sincerely can relate with the need of having someone responsable, trustful and experience to look after our littles. I have experience taking care of dogs and cats here, as well as of pets for family and friends in Brazil, including dogs, cats, hamsters and bunnies, which I consider positive experiences in developing a sense of how to provide assistance in different situations regarding sitter them. For me, aside from doing an extra money to support my period of study here, it will be a genuine pleasure to spend time with your pets and give them all the love I keep with me for my cats, and I will make sure to take care of your pets with the same attention I would like mine to be cared, ensuring they will be safe, respected and catered to all needs. As I have flexible times at university my schedule is always free. I am available all day every day of week so we can previously arrange the activities you need to be provided (including home visits, house sitting, walk in neighbourhood, take or pick from home to somewhere, or others). But as each pet has their own personality, before I can look after your pets I will need to know as much as possible about them, like routine, diet, any allergies, medicines, behaviour alone and with other animals, in and out of home, activities that they enjoy etc. If you feel that I can help you caring your pet please send me a message so we can chat about how I can help.

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!
