Highlights
Pet care experience
Graduate student & pet lover
Growing up surrounded by animals, I've had the joy of caring for dogs, cats, turtles, and fish. One of my most cherished companions was Tody, my dachshund, who lived a remarkable 17 years. This experience taught me valuable lessons on caring for senior dogs, especially when they face challenges in their mobility. Now, as a Ph.D. student in Pittsburgh, I've found comfort in pet-sitting for friends while they're away. Whether it's a dog, cat, or any other furry friend, I'm always thrilled to take them for a walk, go for a jog, or provide a comfortable overnight stay at your place (unfortunately, my current building doesn't allow pets).
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Back in Brazil, my beloved cats and dog await my return, but until then, I'd be honored to treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. If your pet has any special needs, just let me know—I'm more than happy to accommodate and ensure they feel comfortable and safe. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my highest priorities. So, if you need a reliable and compassionate caregiver, please don't hesitate to reach out. Let's ensure your furry companion has the best care possible while you're away. Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pet!

They did a great job taking care of our cats and dogs for a weekend. The pups seemed quite happy and content in the photo updates. Took good care of our home too

Schedule
My schedule revolves around my classes, but I'm usually available for afternoon and evening walks on weekdays. Fortunately, weekends are wide open, allowing me to be fully available for walks and house-sitting.
