Margarida

Hi 👋

I am a qualified psychologist and at the university, I studied animal behaviour. I’ve been passionate about animals since an early age.

To keep connected and to reinforce my skills at lovingly caring for pets, I worked over 5 years as a volunteer with rescued dogs and cats in a pet shelter. In this emotionally demanding

context, I was able to train, socialize and to handle all kinds of pets, even the troubled and resistant ones, in order to embrace the challenge of watching them improve under proper care. I trained new volunteers and I also had the opportunity to do a training course in dog training techniques.

I’ve been working as a Pet Sitter with dogs, cats, rabbits and other pets for over 3 years. Soon, I would like to do a PhD in Animal Behaviour and Welfare.

My biggest goal is to contribute to change the way people view and treat animals.

A pet is much more than a cute friend to control or feed, a pet is a member of our family, true and compassionate lover.

I am able to provide Dog Walking (adjusted to the dog's physical condition), Home Visits* and House Sitting: for feeding, fresh water, cleaning the litter box (cats), medication, lots of cuddles and play, company, brushing their coat (for those who like it) and walking (dogs). I can also water your plants!

*For dogs, each home visit includes a walk.

First meet, prior the start of the booking is free :)

I will always keep in touch with photos, videos, and updates of your pets time with me!
