About me: I was born and raised in Brazil and have very recently relocated to London. I’m a school teacher, but my greatest joy has always been spending time with animals. I’ve grown up surrounded by pets and recently shared my life with three much-loved companions: Beethoven (Shih Tzu, 12), Toya (Persian cat, 16), and Dodo (Labrador mix, 7). Why I want to be a sitter: Since my own pets haven’t yet been able to join me here, I’d love to care for your furry friend and bring some of that joy back into my daily life. Pet sitting also helps me save towards bringing Dodo to London in early 2026, and maybe even finding him some local dog friends for future playdates! My house: I share a flat with my partner, who is also a pet lover. Our flat has direct access to a fully gated and secure garden in the back, with lots of space to play and explore. I'd prefer to take in pets that are already potty trained, as I am a brand new tenant in the building. When your furry buddy comes over, we will need you to pack his all equipment, such as food bowls, bed, toys, etc. When sleeping over, your pet is welcome to sleep with us in our bedroom with us, on their little bed - just so you know, we will try to avoid allowing them on our bed and sofa, so having their own bed or blanket is important. What I can offer: I have currently a very flexible schedule between working from home and supplying cover at a school. I will take in pets, do house visits and walks on days I'm working from home, which will be reflected on my calendar. I can provide 24/7 supervision if needed, but your pet is unlikely to stay alone at my flat, except if I go out to run quick errands and I can't bring them with me. At my place, your pet will play outside in the garden and go on 2-3 10min walks per day. I can also take over night guests on long walks to the local parks (about 1h duration), depending on weather. I really love playing and cuddling. I'm open to receiving up to 2 pets at a time and will help them bond if they don't know each other. I can administer any sort of medication and can assist with some basic behavior training.
