Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted by Tails, Approved by Paws
My love for animals is lifelong, but my experience deepened when I became the full-time caregiver to my two dogs, Kira and Venus. Kira has epilepsy, so I’m very familiar with managing medical conditions—from administering medications to staying calm and responsive during seizures. Venus, on the other hand, has seasonal allergies that require consistent monitoring, special grooming routines, and environmental awareness to keep her comfortable. I believe pets thrive when they feel safe, seen, and understood—which is why I take the time to learn their unique needs and quirks, whether it’s a favorite toy, a preferred walking route, or a calming routine that helps them feel at home. I create a stress-free, loving environment built on trust, and I’m happy to reinforce training, administer medications, and follow your pet’s routine closely. You can always count on clear communication, thoughtful updates, and genuine compassion. With me and my wife, your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family.

Ratings and reviews
This was our second time using Manuel & Maricris to look after our boy Duke, and once again, we couldn’t be happier with their care! ❤️ The first time Duke stayed with them for 10 days, and this time it was 8 days. Throughout both stays, their communication was amazing. We received lots of photos and videos, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. They followed all of our instructions regarding Duke’s raw diet and were always honest and upfront about how he was doing. It was so clear from the pictures and videos that Duke was having a fantastic time. Once he was comfortable, he was completely himself—even getting up to some mischief on certain days! 😂 I truly appreciated that Manuel & Maricris were honest with us about those moments rather than simply telling us everything was perfect. You can genuinely tell that they love animals—not just their own dog, but every dog they care for. Duke clearly felt safe, happy, and at home with them, and that means everything to us. We will absolutely continue using Manuel & Maricris in the future. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur baby! 🐾❤️
Manuel and Maricris were quick to respond, were able to accommodate my last-minute booking, and kept me updated throughout my dog's stay with photos and messages, which gave me real peace of mind. Overall, it was a smooth, positive experience, and I'm very grateful for the great care they provided. Highly recommend!
They are fantastic dog sitters. Easy to book with and quickly respond to messages 🙂
Manual and Maricris watched our dog, Harley. They did a great job. They had great communication and followed everything we asked. We will ve using them again for sure!
Manuel and Maricris were able to board my little guy super last minute. They were understanding, patient and reassuring. They provided consistent updates, photos and videos throughout the stay. They have two dogs themselves that were the absolute friendliest girls, which made it an easy transition for my dog who tends to try and express dominance. Absolutely would recommend. Can’t thank them enough for their kindness and hospitality!
Joey had a grear time with Manuel's dogs. He was so satisfied, calm, and tired when I brought him home, it was cute. Manuel took good care of Joey and fed him on time. I recommend him for your dog's sitting.

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine—and something we genuinely love. Both my wife and I work from home, which means your pet will never be left alone and will get plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, we’re able to provide a consistent, flexible schedule that works around your pet’s needs. We’re available most weekdays and weekends, and we do our best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. If your pet has a specific routine, we’re happy to follow it closely to help them feel comfortable, safe, and at ease in our care.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, loving environment for your pet right in my home. We have a fully fenced yard that provides a secure space for playtime and potty breaks under constant supervision. My two friendly dogs, Kira and Venus, enjoy making new friends and will happily keep your pet company—while I ensure all interactions are positive and respectful. Inside, pets have access to cozy resting spots, fresh water, and plenty of love throughout the day. I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment and follow any routines or boundaries you provide to make your pet feel at ease.
Pets
A typical day
Your pet’s day will be filled with plenty of love, care, and fun! Mornings usually start with a relaxed walk around the neighborhood or some playtime in our fully fenced yard, where your dog can safely explore, chase toys, or just enjoy the fresh air. Throughout the day, I balance active play with calm downtime—whether that’s tossing a ball, gentle training sessions, or cozy cuddles on the couch. My dogs, Kira and Venus, love making new friends, so socializing comes naturally if your pet is up for it. I’m attentive to each pet’s energy and mood, so if they need a quiet break or extra affection, I adjust accordingly. Plenty of fresh water, nutritious meals (following your instructions), and rest breaks ensure your pet stays happy and healthy. In the evenings, I usually take your pet on a final walk to stretch their legs and wind down before bedtime, making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

- To provide the best care possible, it’s really helpful if you share any important information about your pet that isn’t already included in your Rover profile. This might include things like medical needs, behavioral quirks, or special routines. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to keep your pet happy and healthy while you’re away.
