Always around - extremely active

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm JP. I grew up in Brazil and Connecticut with a Dachshund named Lilica. Since then, I've fallen in loves with dogs of all kinds and sizes. My family members and friends would always leave their dogs with me during their travels when I was younger. During the past year and a half I have been walking and sitting dogs full-time. As such, I have plenty of experience handling dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes, regardless of their temperament. I workout daily, running multiple times a week. I am a part time student and most of my schoolwork is done from home meaning I am always always available. My home has a very calming and soothing atmosphere that is conducive to relaxing any dog. I will take care of you dog as if they were my own, with plenty of affection and the respect they deserve!

Joao was great because he was so accomodating. We have two dogs, and he was willing to take care of both of them! He also only takes one client, so you know he’ll give all the care and attention to your pup! He sent us updates everyday and overall was very responsive and open! Would highly recommend - he is very reliable and nice!!!

Joao was so kind to wrigley, and kept us updated about how our pup was doing. We felt so comfortable leaving Wrigley with Joao, and we would absolutely recommend him to our friends and family

Joao was an excellent sitter for our two greyhounds. They are both healthy and happy following a 4-day stay at his home. We received photo updates and he was very accomodating with pickup/drop off arrangements. I would highly recommend him as a sitter.

A typical day

I live near a river and tend to go on walks around there because of the calming nature of that area. There are also a number of walking trails and dog parks near me. On top of running I will keep your dog active by playing catch multiple times a day and tug of war as well.
