Hello! My name is Gustavo Pinheiro, I'm a 29 years old Brazilian, currently living in Melbourne for a 6 months PhD exchange at RMIT University.
Before arriving here, I used to take care of many pets, dogs and cats, offering day care, dog walking, and house sitting. I've being doing these services for more than 4 years, never had any negative experience during this time, and I'm really hoping to keep with this hobby here in Australia!
I used to live with dogs in my family during 23 years, period that I spent on learning how to take care of them, understanding their needs, and comprehending their behaviors. I have experience taking care of cats and all sizes dogs, puppies and also eldest ones, being capable to give them oral medication if necessary.
I live by myself in a small studio (for this reason I'm able to accept only one pet per booking). The building is located on Flinders street, at CBD, also next to dog friendly parks! I also have the Work With Children card!
It will be a pleasure to spend a good time with your pet!
Current services:
- Home visit: two or three times per day (30-40 minutes). During the visits I'll care for your pets, respecting their regular routine, giving them attention, and cleaning/organizing whatever is necessary to keep them comfortable!
- Day care: guarantee your regular walks, playtime activities at friendly dog parks, respecting their habits and schedules regarding eating and sleeping times.
- Sleepover: I'll keep your pet comfortable, providing regular walks, playing, giving them attention, and caring to keep them as cozy as possible, so they can feel safe and happy, like a second home! Always respecting their routine and habits!
- Dog walks: walk with your pet twice a day during 20-30 min (or as much as necessary).
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Would definitely recommend! He took amazing care of Balu, great communication, sent lots of pictures and was super flexible with an issue we had with the dog food delivery.
Super easy going, provides pics updates of how your dog is going, took him for many walks, 10/10 would book again!
