I spot clean litter boxes every time I check in on cats, and make sure that they get fed at their scheduled times. And deep clean cages in between new pets coming in. For dogs I let them out 4 times a day and get to run around the backyard depending on weather. But everyone is kenneld when I go to bed or go to work.

Pet care experience

I’ve been in the vet field for 8 years now. Tending to boarding, hospitalization, and managing for a hospital. I also personally have 4 pets for myself. I still work at the animal hospital so I typically send one update with photos once a day

Manuel was fantastic. I am new to the area immediately felt like I was leaving Louie in good hands. Manuel was responsive and sent daily pictures. Communication was spectacular. Would 100% recommend him as a sitter.

Manuel was amazing. He provided daily updates with pictures of Sagan. He also gave her medicine and found that one of her nails was starting to impact her paw pad and cut it for me. He did an incredible job caring for my fur baby, and I will definitely have him care for her again. Thank you so much, Manuel!

Sent pictures and updates. Knowing our fur baby was in good hands allowed us to enjoy our little vacation a little more. Will definitely use again when needed.

Manny is so wonderful! We have two dogs that stay with him often since we travel a lot. One is a senior and Manny is so patient and good with them! He gives our senior his medicine and it’s comforting to know we have someone we can trust. He always send photos of them and walks them around the neighborhood. He is true gem and we feel lucky we can leave our family with him. Manny radiates light and it’s clear he loves animals deeply. Couldn’t recommend him enough!!
