Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Cat & Dog Sitter
I’m a devoted dog dad to two well‑trained giant pups, and before they moved to my parents’ home in Dubai, I also cared for my cats — so I’ve spent over a decade raising and training dogs and cats side by side. I’m currently doing my professional doctoral training at the University of Birmingham, and pet sitting fits perfectly alongside it; it never feels like a job to me because I already live with and care for my own two gentle giants every day. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and behaviours, and I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, structured, and loving environment for every animal I look after.

Ratings and reviews
Mani looked after my ragdoll, Maverick, while I was away and honestly I couldn’t have asked for more. Came back to a spotless apartment and a very happy cat! He played with Maverick every day and sent updates without being asked. The bit that I loved the us most was that he ask me if he could introduce him to his two dogs (both lovely, properly well behaved). I of course said yes, because I wanted him to know other animals. Maverick was cautious at first, but actually grew to trust them, which is amazing. Would book Mani again without thinking twice!
Mani is a magic man! My Greay Dane is incredibly sensitive (and large!). He is so wonderful with her, incredibly understanding and kind. I was so worried leaving her to go on holiday and Mani made me feel very comfortable. Send multiple videos, photos and updates every day. I think he is now Taylor's new best friend! 💛
“Mani is the only person I trust with both my cat and dog. My dog had a habit of jumping on guests, and Mani gently worked on this during his stay. When I picked him up, he was greeting people politely and responding to cues more consistently. Mani’s attention to detail, his understanding of animal behaviour, and his genuine love for pets make him exceptional. My pets adore him, and so do I.”
My spaniel stayed with Mani for boarding, and I was honestly blown away. She’s a sweetheart but extremely excitable, especially around other dogs. Mani worked with her on impulse control and gentle socialisation. When I picked her up, she was still her joyful self, but noticeably calmer and more responsive. It felt like she’d had a mini training retreat as well as a holiday.
“I hired Mani for cat sitting, and while cats don’t usually need ‘training,’ mine had a habit of scratching furniture when stressed. Mani somehow managed to redirect that behaviour completely. He introduced simple enrichment and calming routines, and when I returned, my cat was more settled than I’ve ever seen her after a trip. Mani doesn’t just care for pets — he understands them.”
“Mani took care of my two dogs for a long weekend, and I was amazed at the difference when I picked them up. Not only were they happy and relaxed, but Mani had also helped curb their constant pulling on walks. He sent updates showing the progress, and by the time I got home, they were walking calmly beside him. I’ve never had a sitter who genuinely improves behaviour while keeping the dogs so loved and entertained.”

Schedule
If your dog needs help with basic manners or behavioural issues, I’m happy to offer training support during their stay. My calm, well‑behaved German Shepherd is a great example of the training approach I use, and you’ll meet him when you drop your dog off.

Safety, trust & environment
For boarding, your dog or cat will have a dedicated, secure room to ensure comfort and safety. My flat also has access to a podium area and a lovely nearby park—perfect for regular walks and outdoor time for your precious pet.
Pets
A typical day
I keep each day structured, calm, and fun — morning walks, play sessions tailored to your pet’s energy, and plenty of cuddles and reassurance. We mix in park strolls, interactive games, and gentle training refreshers so your pet stays happy, stimulated, and relaxed. My goal is simple: a content, well‑cared‑for companion who feels at home while you’re away.
