The Team

Juliana Rodrigues (Juli)

Founder and Director of Squeezing Cuddles
Since I was very young I have been obsessed with animals. When I look at our family photos, I’m always holding an animal. To me, animals are amazing living beings with unique personalities and feelings. I respect and love them dearly. I want to protect them, never harm them. For that reason and many others, I decided to make myself vegetarian despite have grown up in the very meat orientated Brazilian culture.

​It was impossible not to have pooches at home since I couldn’t stand seeing them on the streets. Often I would rescue them and persuade my parents to keep them. I have a vast experience caring for healthy and unwell babes unconditionally. Being a vet was never an option though as I would be emotionally compromised and would struggle to separate my personal life.

In 2010, already in London for about 2 years, out of craving for canine company, I started taking care of babes for holidays and on days off. At the time, dog care wasn’t as popular as it is nowadays so I didn’t think I could make a career on it. Later on I gave up my teaching and desk job and fully indulged my passion for pooches. I consider it very important to improve my knowledge and read lots of literature and undertake qualification courses on dogs.

I wanted to offer a home away from home service, where owners could have peace of mind when away, knowing that their pooches had a second family to care for them in a loving environment which doubled as a fun holiday camp where their babes could enjoy sociable moments with other pooches.

I had completed many dog courses relating to care, behaviour, training, health and so on. I strongly believe that being a dog minder is a serious profession and should require qualifications and experience from those who want to work with babes. I wanted to offer more, so I decided to get a place exclusively for them; with lots space transforming it in a big pooch nursery & playground. They love being at WetNose Club Society and I am delighted to see how much fun they have in a tailored and secure environment.

Each pooch I work with is an individual book, with exclusive pages and a different story to tell. I feel so close to them and normally prefer their company to humans. Wetnose Club Society is my dream job and I am certain it is the premium service your pooch deserve.
