About Us
António Fonseca – Co-Founder, Pawsitive Walkers (a.k.a. Head of Treat Distribution)
Woof! I’m António—human, belly-scratcher, and professional dog admirer. Born in Angola, raised in Portugal and Brazil, I’ve done a little bit of everything: built stuff, fixed tech, launched companies… but nothing compares to the joy of a wagging tail and muddy pawprints on my clean floor.
Pawsitive Walkers was actually founded by my better half, Solange—the true pack leader. She’s a nature-loving, dog-hugging, walk-obsessed human who believes every pup deserves love, fresh air, and at least one squirrel sighting per day. Inspired by her big heart (and the fact that our sofa now officially belongs to visiting dogs), I joined as co-founder.
Together, we run Pawsitive Walkers out of our cozy loft-style den in Framingham, MA. It’s a dog’s dream: high ceilings for big tail wags, plenty of snuggle spots, and daily adventures that would make any pup howl with joy.
Come sniff us out—you’ll love it here. Just ask the dogs. Or the couch.
George – Resident Fluff, Sock Thief & Chief Happiness Officer
Hi there! I’m George. I’m two years old, I’m a proud Havanese, and yes—I’m ridiculously cute (it’s a full-time job).
I wasn’t always living the dream. I started out with a nice family and three tiny humans who were… a bit too tiny. We tried to make it work, but let’s just say they didn’t speak fluent “dog,” and I didn’t speak toddler. Eventually, they decided I needed a different kind of home. That’s when Auntie Jackie from Woof Woof Dog Walkers called up António and Solange—and just like that, BAM! I was adopted faster than you can say “who wants a treat?”
Now, I live my best life. I sleep in the big bed (obviously), claim the couch as mine, and have an impressive collection of stolen socks and slightly chewed flip-flops. I also enjoy nipping ankles when humans aren’t paying attention—it’s called motivational herding.
My hobbies include:
If you’re coming to hang out with us, bring treats. And hide your socks. Wags and wiggles, George 🐾
Rafaela S. Fonseca – Head of Treats (aka Marketing) 🐶📱✨
Rafaela’s been a certified animal lover since forever. Like, before-she-could-walk forever. 🍼🐾
She once dreamed of becoming a veterinarian (tail-wagging dream! 🩺🐕), but when she realized it involved saying goodbye to some furry friends… well, she took a paws and changed course. 😢➡️🎓
Instead, she earned her degree in Tourism 🧳 and later jumped headfirst into the world of social media and digital marketing 📲💡. Now she’s the human behind all the cute posts, clever captions, and “aww”-inducing pics you see from Pawsitive Walkers 🐾 and from her dad’s tech company, bITs Tech Solutions 💻⚙️ (where the humans talk in code instead of barks).
At home, Rafaela is proudly owned by two sassy feline overlords: Lilás and Peach 🐱👑🐱—who supervise her work from the comfort of her keyboard and occasionally approve Instagram posts with a paw tap. 🐾💻
With a heart full of love ❤️, a brain full of creative zoomies 💭💥, and a feed full of fluff, Rafaela keeps our pack looking pawsitively fabulous. 🎉🐾
