Hi, I'm João, based here in Glasgow. Dog walking is the main thing I do, and honestly it's my favourite part of the week.

I like getting to know a dog first, how they are on the lead, how far they actually want to go, what they're funny about. Some dogs want a proper long walk, others are happy pottering about sniffing everything, and either is fine by me. I'm happy to walk wherever suits you best, whatever park or spot your dog already knows, and the lead stays on unless you tell me otherwise.

I also do drop-in visits and pet sitting. With drop-ins I don't just nip in and out food and fresh water, toilet break or litter, a bit of play and some company, and I'm happy to water plants or bring the post in while I'm there. For sitting, I stick as close as I can to their normal feeding times, walks and sleeping spots so the days feel like usual for them.

Cats as well, I've got one myself, Preto, so I know they decide how much attention they want, not me.

Either way you'll get a message and photos after every visit, and if anything seems a bit off I'll let you know there and then rather than leave you wondering.

If you'd like to meet first before booking anything, I'm very happy to do that. If you're not sure yet, no pressure a quick message costs you nothing and I'm happy to answer anything before you decide.
