Availability
I quit my job as a dolphin trainer to focus on pet training and caretaking privately. For now my routine is pretty flexible and allows changes.

Brazilian Veterinarian and Trainer
Pet care experience
I come from a family of veterinarians in Brazil, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up around my family’s veterinary clinic and pet shop, I helped care for more than 30 animals over the years—from dogs and cats to other small animals—learning early on how to understand their behavior, comfort them, and make them feel safe. Because of this background, I’m very attentive to animals’ needs, routines, and health. I’m comfortable handling pets with different personalities, energy levels, and temperaments, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. I also had the unique opportunity to work as a dolphin trainer at Miami Seaquarium. That experience taught me even more about animal behavior, communication, patience, and building trust with animals through positive interaction and structured routines. In addition to my animal background, I’m also a certified personal trainer. That means I have lots of energy and truly enjoy staying active with pets—whether that’s long walks, playing fetch, running in the park, or simply exploring nature together. I love engaging with animals in a fun and stimulating way, and I’m happy to match their energy level, from playful adventures to calm companionship. For me, spending time with animals is not just a job—it’s something that genuinely brings me joy. I love playing with them, running, rolling on the grass, going for walks, and giving them the attention and affection they deserve while their owners are away.

Reviews
Joey had walked our dogs for about a year and they absolutely love him. Joey is reliable, punctual, and full of knowledge because he's also a VET. We also used his services as a dog sitter when we went out of the country at the time we also use to have a snake and parrots he took care of them as well and I can't thank this man enough he's simply amazing! My dogs love him and my family too.
I had the most amazing experience with Joey as my dog walker. His exceptional care and genuine love for dogs made me rethink even my own relationship with my furry buddies. Joey consistently provided engaging and stimulating walks, always going above and beyond to ensure my dog's happiness and well-being. His reliability, professionalism, and outstanding communication further cemented my trust in him. I highly recommend Joey to anyone in need of a dog walker who will treat it like his own family. Plus, his background as a veterinarian increases an extra layer of reassurance. He's simply the best!
