Sérgio Fernando

Hello, my name is Sérgio, I’m from Portugal and I’ve been living in Austria for the past 14 months and I’m Vienna for the past 5. I can speak Portuguese and English fluently and have a basic level in Spanish. My whole life I’ve been fascinated with the other creatures on this earth and most specially dogs. At the moment I’m taking a German course since I wanna get a good dog training education in a very good school in Switzerland and for that I need Deutsch. ;) The connection we have with our pets specially our dogs is one of the best things in this life for me and since I can’t currently have dogs in my flat I find petsitting the best route for me at the moment.

At the moment I don’t have the possibility of owning pets but back home I have 3 dogs, a lab, a dachshund and a Yorkshire terrier who are currently living with my godparents in their big house. I’ve been around pets my whole life and unfortunately have had very close ones live their whole long lives next to my family.

If your dog is a young and of a predisposed breed for exercise I’m a very active person therefor strenuous and needed exercise will definitely be present when your dog is spending some time with me, aswell as tou play and problem solving. 

I’m very patient and understanding with dogs in their ways of being but I’ll still try to not reinforce bad behavior by simply not responding in a exciting way, not petting or giving treats when they demonstrate the unwanted behavior.

On the other hand if your dog is a “lap dog” or is simply old or handicapped I’m also more than happy to be by their side in a calm and relaxed environment.
