I grew up in Portugal with a lifelong love for pups. Having grown up with dogs, I've always enjoyed showering them with love and care. It's my passion to make sure every dog I walk gets the best experience possible.

The name Patas, which translates to Paws, holds a special meaning for me as it reflects my love for dogs and my connection to my Portuguese roots.

After a recent tragic and traumatizing event, I lost my beloved dog, Mel. The pain of her passing has inspired me to make a positive change. I want to dedicate myself to giving more love and support to dogs in need in honor of Mel's memory. Despite her short life, Mel had a profound impact on me, shaping me into the person I am today. I am grateful for the time we shared together.
