House Sitting • Mar 10, 2026

We had a great experience with Manny! He provided frequent updates throughout the stay and had excellent communication, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were well cared for and in good hands. We really appreciated the consistent check-ins and photos. I would definitely recommend Manny and would happily book with him again in the future.

I have a hard time leaving my dog with just anyone, but I can truly say I feel 100% confident leaving him with Manny. Manny is great with dogs, he’s understanding of their needs and is overall a great person to leave your fur babies with!

Dog Walking • Dec 03, 2024

I couldn’t be happier with the care Manny provided for our dog, Kobe! From the moment they met, it was clear that Manny has a natural way with dogs. He was punctual, professional, and made sure Kobe had a great time on their walk. Manny’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals really stood out. Kobe came back happy and well-exercised. I highly recommend Manny for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker. Thank you, Manny!

Manny is a great guy and an excellent pet sitter. He was really good with my very active Boston terrier and very attentive to his special needs as he has a slight skin allergy to grass. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone.

Manny has been excellent with my dog. He has been professional, communicative and has built an awesome relationship with my pup. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Manny used to take care of my shiba mix, Kobe all the time! He's basically uncle manny to him. Manny is incredible with dogs and understands that they're hard work and need plenty of love and care. He's the guy for the job!

Schedule

I am currently working remotely full time from home. Often times, I found myself going on walks which would be miles more enjoyable with a doggo. My schedule is relatively flexible, Im not required to into the office so im home for 90%-100% of most days.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a plenty of space indoors and a deck for outdoor play time. The deck is gated I don’t believe dogs should be on a leash while at home. Couch cuddles, walks and play time is always on the schedule. Meals are provided based on your desired feeding schedule and dietary restrictions if that’s the case.

A typical day

Usually walk/run around Liberty State Park, some reward based treats, and if the dog is as energetic as I am we can run around in the deck play tug of war or catch.
