Patient and happy Dog lover

I've taken care of my family's and my own dogs for more than a decade now, currently looking after two senior terriers of my own. I'm very patient and careful. I'm comfortable with senior dogs too, whether that means taking it easy on slow walks or administering medications.

Safety, trust & environment

At your home, I'll respect any boundaries or rules you have in place for safety and privacy. I'm quite cautious on walks (e.g., keeping your dog away from other dogs, if you instruct me to).

I get nervous when I have to leave my dogs in someone else’s care. This is especially true for my emotional and clingy Great Dane. Paulo connected with my husky, Max, and my Great Dane, Marilyn, from the get go. He shares updates and pics with me and treats them as they are his own. My dogs get excited when they Paulo and that gives me the peace of mind I need.

Paulo is the most responsible, reliable, and dedicated pet caregiver I have ever met. My fur babies are my whole world and I’m fiercely protective of them, and I would trust Paulo with them in a heartbeat. He has two very sweet special needs dogs of his own, and I’ve seen the care and compassion he shows them every day. Animals love him and feel safe around him. If you are looking for a person who is completely trustworthy and reliable to look after your pets, Paulo can absolutely help you. 10/10 recommend.

I am currently quite flexible day to day, which makes me well suited to visit with dogs whose owners are commuters for work, for example.
