Pet care experience
I’m a reliable dog and pet sitter based in West Orange with over 18 years of pet sitting experience and 188 repeat clients. I truly enjoy caring for pets like they’re part of my own family, and I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, from small breeds like Yorkies and Poodles to larger dogs like German Shepherds. I live in a spacious 3 bedroom apartment with a good sized backyard, giving pets room to feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m also located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood near two large parks, both less than a mile away; perfect for frequent walks and outdoor time. I currently work in the UN Section for Humanitarian Affairs, and I bring that same sense of responsibility and care into how I look after animals. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable when you’re away, whether for work, travel, or emergencies. I have access to a car, so transportation is never an issue if needed. Walks are frequent, and I make sure pets stay active, comfortable, and well cared for. I also have experience administering medication, including pills and food-mixed medications, with no issues. My family has always had dogs, and I’ve cared for everything from small companion breeds to large dogs like German Shepherds. My 17 year old daughter also loves animals and has experience with her own large poodle, so pets in my care are always in a loving environment. Whether it’s dog sitting, house sitting, or drop-in care, I provide dependable, safe, and attentive care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
Reviews

Manuel was great! Thank you!

This is an amazing guy who takes great and careful care of dogs. He communicates well and I would recommend him to anyone who wants a lovely experience knowing their dog is safe and loved. I know my dog has a hard time at regular boarding facilities bc he has separation anxiety and the speed of those facilities is hard on my dog but Manuel saved the day. He was sensitive to my dog’s needs and noticed if my dog was feeling anxious and accommodated that. My dog ate all his food and was vibing with Manuel on his rooftop retreat. Thank you so much! I’m so happy I have someone like you to care for my dog in the future
Stormi enjoyed her time at Manuel’s! Manuel is attentive gets to know your dog and responds quickly to messages

Manuel was incredibly responsive, friendly, and was able to accommodate us at the last minute with an extra upcharge. Manuel took great care of Arya, who took to him immediately. When we picked her up, she was clearly not stressed. Manuel followed all instructions we provided to him regarding feeding and bathroom breaks and walked her even though we hadn’t requested that. In our opinion, we believe that your pet will be in great hands with him!
