Hello everyone!

I am an animal lover and a passionate dog mom. I live in the Netherlands with my husband and our three adorable rescued dogs. We moved here from Brazil in 2022, where we have a shelter that supports around 20 dogs who were abandoned or abused. Our shelter provides them with food, care and safety, and is currently run by my father-in-law.

I have always been passionate about helping animals. That’s why I have spent the last few years studying the canine species and learning about their behavior, instincts and needs from their perspective. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I know how to handle different situations and challenges.

I've taken several courses and participated in countless webinars on canine behavior, canine body language, enriched environment, aggression in dogs, puppies, elderly dogs and more. 

I offer fun and enriching activities for your furry friend, such as quality walks, games, puzzles and toys. These activities stimulate their senses, exercise their brain and make them happy and satisfied. I also use positive training methods based on scientific research and positive reinforcement, which means I reward the good behavior and ignore the bad ones.

Currently I provide the services:

- Home visits

- Dog walking

- House sitting

I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! 🐶
