About Me

Animals have always been part of my life. My daughter recently took our family dog with her to university, so I no longer have a dog living with me — and I truly miss that daily companionship.

I grew up with dogs and cats, and today I still support rescue animals – at my country home in Brazil, I care for 14 dogs and 10 cats.

Here in Zürich, I no longer keep my own pets due to frequent travel, but looking after dogs and cats gives me the chance to stay close to them, share my love, and offer them a safe and caring environment.

I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I can dedicate plenty of time and attention to your furry friend.

🐾 My Services

My Approach

Every pet is unique. I adapt my care to your dog or cat’s breed, age, temperament, and energy level – whether that means long adventurous walks, play on the verandas, or quiet cuddle time.

I care for animals with patience, empathy, and responsibility, just as I do for my rescues in Brazil. I never take more pets than I can give proper attention to, ensuring every guest feels safe, loved, and part of the family.

I also send daily photo and video updates to keep you reassured and connected.

Languages

I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
