The DOGFATHER: a big guy who loves dogs and cats

Hi, I'm Vini, nice to e-meet you. I'm 30 years old, male, Brazilian. Been in London since 2015. I had more own dog (Golden Retriever) back home in Brazil but my schedule here in London doesn't allow me to have one here. I love taking walks in the park with dogs and you can ask for the most bespoke dog walking service ever! I also love cats, ofc! We can go to Langley Park, Lammas Park, Walpole Park, Stockley Park and many others so that your dog gets a wide array of life experiences :) I also have both dog and cat toys in the house and in the balcony. The balcony is safely secured with glass to avoid flying pet missions haha. My specialty is high-energy dogs that want to run as much as possible. I hope I can keep up with them and get a workout in the process. I have a large car to move around for pick up, drop offs and park visits. Satisfaction guaranteed or your money back! I look after pets for love. PS: I am slightly more expensive than the average pet sitters for 3 reasons: a) I am constantly with your pet. We do everything together and I do a daily visit to Pets at Home to buy them new treats or toys without needing to be reimbursed; b) I have a large car and will bring your dog to great adventures in different parks; c) I don't do pet sitting very often as some periods of the year my work gets very busy.

Vini was brilliant from the initial meet and greet with our dog Blu. The immediate contact and care for him was exceptional and throughout the duration of Blu’s stay. We’ve never left our pet dog with a dog sitter before, we felt so comfortable and reassured with daily updates while on holiday. Thank you Vini, Blu definitely enjoyed his stay! 🙂

Thank you so much for your amazing care of our energetic and velcro Doberman. Your care and attention allowed us to relax on our holiday. Vini understands dogs well. He followed our instructions on feeding and care of Lakotas sores to the letter. He quickly built up trust and clearly has a genuine relationship with Lakota. We are grateful to have found Vini and will definitely be using him again. Thank you again.

Vini was amazing with Bronze . It is a big aloof dog that not many people manage to connect to . He worked his magic

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I’m mostly available on weekends as I work 9 to 5. I can sometimes accommodate weekdays as I can work from home 3x a week. All breeds and sizes of dogs and cats are welcome.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs and cats have free use in the house with a large fenced and netted balcony. They can sleep in a dog bed or in a queen size bed with me.

A typical day

Walk in the park. Ball catching. Rope pulling. Deep tissue massage (just joking). Loads of love. I like to take dogs outside for a day out. When we get tired, the dogs have plenty of options to rest at home. I find that cats have very different personalities so I will trust your instruction on how to take care of them. I have cats toys at home so they/we can play inside.

Let me know your specifications. I can take care of large dogs as I’m tall (6’3) and strong. I will respect your wishes and carefully follow your instructions. Writing down specifics ahead of time is very helpful. I have a large car.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
