Pet care experience

Hands-on pet care with years of real experience

Unlike many sitters, my experience doesn't come only from living with dogs at home, but from years of helping my father, a veterinarian, in our family clinic in Brazil. After he lost part of his arm in an accident, I became his true "right hand," learning from a young age how to handle situations that require calm, responsibility, and real knowledge. This gave me hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes — from energetic puppies to senior dogs that need extra care. **What I offer:** 🏠 Your dog stays in my flat with unfenced garden - safe, supervised environment 🎾 Regular playtime and walks tailored to your dog's energy 💊 Comfortable administering medication if needed 🛏️ Dogs welcome on bed and furniture (if that's their routine) 👨‍💻 I work from home, so constant companionship and supervision **My approach:** I treat every pet as part of my own family. Safety and well-being are always my top priorities. Since I work from home, I spend most of my time closely accompanying the pets. I only take one pet owner at a time to ensure full attention and a stress-free environment.

I don’t leave my dog with just anybody and I always ensure to do a meet and greet beforehand. From the minute I met Vinicius, I felt confident and happy that my dog would be well cared for. Vinicius is passionate about dogs and loves big dogs (which is great for me, as my dog is 50kg). I would highly recommend Vinicius and will definitely use his services again

Vinnie is amazing. We have a young dog with behavioral issues, and Vinnie managed to calm him down within a few minutes of meeting him. He did so well with him while we were away, that we wondered if Jasper would even want to come back home! He sent the best photos of Jasper too. We highly recommend Vinnie.

I met Vinnie in a situation where I had to trust someone with something important: taking care of my dog, Luna, a Yorkshire terrier full of energy and quirks. He not only took care of her responsibly but also showed genuine affection, attention to detail, and a level of patience that’s hard to find. What started as a favor turned into a friendship. It’s rare to meet someone who treats what’s yours with the same care you would — and Vinnie did exactly that.

Vinnie took care of my dog ​​while I was away for two months, and I couldn't have chosen a better person! He has great experience with dogs, is attentive, and truly loves what he does. My dog ​​became very attached to him—you could tell how happy and well-cared for he was. It was an excellent experience, I highly recommend him.

Schedule

Dogs are welcome in every room of my home, including the sofa. I work from home most of the time, so I’m always around to give them attention and care. Every dog will enjoy at least one walk a day on a leash, along with plenty of company throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and well-being are always my top priorities. At home, dogs stay in a safe environment with no risks and are free to move around in every room. I always use a leash during walks and provide constant supervision to give owners peace of mind. Since I work from home, I spend most of my time closely accompanying the pets.

A typical day

We have playtime with toys and games to keep them mentally stimulated. Since I work from home, your dog will have constant companionship throughout the day - they can relax beside me while I work

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, medical conditions, or behaviours I should be aware of. My preference is for well-socialised dogs, but I'm experienced with anxious, reactive, or senior dogs too - just let me know their triggers and how to best support them. Please share: - Any medications or dietary requirements - Energy level and exercise needs - Commands they know and their training level - Favourite toys, treats, or comfort items - Sleeping arrangements and routines they're used to The more information you share, the better I can care for your furry family member!
