Dog loving UT student!

Pet care experience

I am an avid animal lover. I will take care of your four legged family members just like I would treat my own. I am a proud owner of a mini apricot poodle and cat. I have taken care of a diverse range of dog species of all sizes. From chihuahuas to Great Pyrenees. I am available most days for up to one hour and quite possibly more; this gives me a valuable study break. I pay very close attention to how your pet is doing; is he/she too tired, walking in an unorthodox way than usual, while making sure the pup is always wagging its tail and enjoying itself. I can walk your pet in any setting, city streets, trails, parks, etc. I have worked with many puppies and have trained them to a great extant. To put it simply, I will work diligently to make this experience the best for your pet. I am not doing this for the money but to spend some free time with some great pets and enjoy my time with them. Not only am I good with dogs, but I am very well experienced with many types of animals.

Manny was amazing with both of our large girls, walking them over a mile even though it was raining. He is dedicated and competant. We look forward to having his services again :-)

Manny went above and beyond what I expected. He did a great job of texting me pictures and updates while I was gone which always helps overly worried dog owners like myself and made it much easier to relax while I was out of town. I will absolutely use him again in the future! Thanks Manny!

I was a little skeptical about having someone new dropping in on my 15 year old Maltese Terrier. Manuel went above and beyond the Call of Duty while taking care of my canine. We were in constant communication on every visit. I work as a traveling nurse and it is important to me to have someone that is reliable and that I can trust. I will not hesitate to use Manuel services in the very near future. I hit the jackpot with Manuel and pray that he will be available whenever I need his future services .

Information Manuel S. would like to know about your pet

I work well with ALL breeds, whether it is a 15 pound poodle to a 140 pound Great Pyrenees I have the stamina, strength, and knowledge to take care of any dog. Age is not an issue; I trained many puppies how to properly walk and behave while walking. I am a very vigilant sitter and can administer any medicine; subcutaneous, oral, eye, etc. Furthermore, knowing any special conditions about your pet is a must for me. Also knowing how a dog reacts to children, of all ages, is a good thing to know because we all know how kids love to go up to any animal and pet them. It is for the safety of the kids and the dog. Also knowing any schedule that is pertinent to know and if the pup is potty trained and signs to know if I should let it out.

A typical day

I love taking dogs to the trails and parks; somewhere that is very stimulating for my furry friend. I am an endurance runner; I can take dogs on multi mile runs or walks. I always have a poop bag on me, have water for the pets, and will bring a ball to play fetch (if your pet does well off leash/its interactions with others around it when off leash). I will never use more than a nudge to keep a dog walking if they get distracted for too long. It would be great if your pet had a body harness but if you don't it is no problem whatsoever.
