Why dogs are happy here

A real home, not a kennel

Your dog sleeps indoors, on the sofa or their own bed — never in a cage or concrete run.

Three long walks a day

Morning and evening walks of 2–3 hours plus potty breaks, along the sea and the parks of Cascais.

Small numbers, full attention

I take only a few dogs at a time so everyone is watched, played with and cuddled.

Photo & video updates

You get regular photos and short videos so you can relax and enjoy your trip.

Every dog is welcome — even the ones others turn away

I take dogs of every temperament and every health condition: bouncy and boisterous, reactive or hard to handle on the lead, dogs with separation anxiety, nervous rescues, seniors, dogs recovering from illness, dogs that need pills or injections, and dogs with limited mobility. Whatever your dog needs, I have the patience and experience to care for them — and I never turn a dog away for being “difficult”.

Frequently asked questions

Do you only take dogs?

Yes — I work exclusively with dogs, of every breed and size, from tiny puppies to large breeds.

My dog is anxious, reactive or special-needs — will you take him?

Yes. I welcome dogs others often turn away — reactive or boisterous dogs, separation anxiety, seniors, dogs on medication or injections, and dogs with limited mobility. Tell me about your dog and we’ll make it work.

Is the meet & greet really free?

Always. We meet before any booking so you and your dog can be sure it’s a good fit, with no obligation.

My dog needs medication — is that ok?

Yes. I’m comfortable giving pills, drops and other routine medication, and I’ll follow your instructions exactly.

What areas do you cover?

Boarding and daycare are at my home in Cascais (dogs welcome from anywhere). For dog walking I come to you along the Linha de Cascais, from Cascais to Oeiras, plus Sintra.

How do I book?
