Hello! I’m Enrico, a passionate Brazilian animal lover currently living in the lovely Plantage area in Amsterdam until the end of September. As a pet parent of two dogs back home, I deeply understand the bond between pets and their families, and I bring genuine dedication to every service. Although I am an independent sitter, I have solid, hands-on experience in dog care. My own dog is 12 years old, which has given me infinite patience and specialized knowledge in senior dog care—I know exactly how to adapt walking speeds, help with stairs, and accommodate older joints. I also share my life with an energetic rescue dog, and recently took care of Ela (the black dog in my photos) while staying at Lucas's place in Germany. When it comes to meeting a new pet for the first time, I approach the first encounter with calm energy, respecting the dog’s boundaries, allowing them to sniff and approach at their own pace, and ensuring a stress-free introduction. I typically take one dog or a single household at a time to guarantee undivided attention. My walks usually last between 30 to 60 minutes, tailored completely to your dog's energy levels and habits. Safety is my top priority. During walks, I remain fully attentive to the environment. If we encounter a reactive dog or any trigger, I calmly redirect and maintain a safe distance using positive reinforcement. In the rare event of an emergency, I stay completely calm, follow your specific vet protocols, and have quick access to local veterinary care. My availability is flexible: Monday through Wednesday I am available all day, Thursday through Saturday I am available in the morning only, and Sundays I am unavailable. Since I get around on an electric bike, I am punctual and ready to reach you. To keep pet parents completely at ease, I always provide regular updates with photos and short reports. Let’s chat about how I can take care of your furry best friend!
