Pet care experience

WFH - I am Pawsitively the best!

I've loved dogs ever since my mom rescued our first puppy when I was 12 years old. Since then, we have raised, trained, played with, and cuddled up to 4 more dogs. Dogs to me, bring out the loving, positive energy in a home and I'm here for it. Throughout the years, my husband and I have been avid volunteers at local dog shelters and have fostered 3 rescues for a local rescue organization. I have some experience with training puppies and younger dogs and well caring for senior doggos who need that additional love and care. Currently, we do not have a dog in our home but are a very active family. I often care for my elderly neighbor's dogs and we take them on hikes, to the beach, dog parks, and even fun dog friendly restaurants and events. When they go out of town, we gladly puppy-sit and enjoy bathing, feeding, and endless cuddles. I'm excited to meet your amazing four legged family members and create great memories with them while providing a great service for you as well. I have a passion for animals but also know that it is important for your as their family/owner to feel just as comfortable with trusting me to care for your pet.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large home with plenty of space for indoor play along with a nice lanai to play, relax, and enjoy the breeze. I do not have a fenced in yard but do have plenty or areas for great walks. I like to personalize my services to best fit each dog and family and will strive to make each experience and fun and special one for all. If dog sitting in your home, I ensure that all pets are well taken care of as well maintaining your space clean, sanitized, and inviting for a great welcome back home.

I would highly recommend Manuela she was a great dog sitter with my senior dog! I had a last minute trip and she came through for me and even scheduled a meet and greet for the same day. She was very communicative and made sure my dog had all her medicine she needed. I would absolutely use her again to take care of my dog.

I'm available for early morning and afternoon walkies, full day doggie day care, and house sitting mostly on weekends but can make weekdays work if needed as well. My current job allows for plenty of flexibility and time to provide the best quality service for your and your doggie.
