Pet care experience

ManuPaws Care

I’m from Argentina, and I truly miss my pets back home. Growing up surrounded by animals made me very attached to them, and being away from my own pets is one of the reasons why I enjoy caring for animals so much. At the moment, I don’t have pets of my own, but I really enjoy taking care of animals temporarily. Spending time with dogs and cats, walking them, playing, and giving them affection makes me feel connected and happy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾💙

Doggy Day Care • May 27, 2026

We had a fantastic experience with Manuela. Not only was she extremely accommodating and flexible with our drop-off and pick-up times, but she also did a great job keeping us in the loop. We loved getting photos and a video showing how much fun our dogs were having. It made being away from our dogs so much easier. Highly recommend!

I had a wonderful experience with Manuela. My cat has a health condition that requires daily medication, and she took care of everything flawlessly. She was attentive, responsible, and made sure my cat received the medication exactly as needed. She also kept me regularly informed, which really reassured me that my cat was in good hands. It’s not easy to trust someone with a pet who needs special care. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate cat sitter :)

Hi Manuela Thank you so much for having Soof today. For us it was very nice to know that she had a lovely day during our party. Thanks for the pictures during the day so we could see how she was doing. It was the first time for us that we brought her and we hope very much that she is welcome to visit you again. We believe that she had a wonderfull day today. Thank you so much.

Manuela saved our trip. She was available last minute and met with us to be introduced to Sven the same day I messaged her. Our pup came back happy, exercised, and so well loved that I'm confident we could leave him with her again anytime, and he'd barely miss us. My daughters' loved getting photos of him throughout our trip. Manuela will be the first person we reach out to the next time we need a dogsitter.

Manuela stayed at my home taking care of Ema for several days and it was an excellent experience. She is very trustworthy, loving, and dedicated. She sent me photos and videos and was always available for any questions. Leaving Ema with her gave me total peace of mind. I 100% recommend her.

I left Simba with Manuela while I was away and I was very satisfied with her service. Simba can be a bit restless, but she handled him extremely well. She was punctual, responsible, and took the time to play with him and take him on walks. I came back to a happy and calm dog. You can tell she has a lot of experience.

Schedule

Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I organize my schedule to make sure dogs get enough time for walks, play, and attention throughout the day. I enjoy starting or ending my day with walks, and I’m flexible to adapt to each dog’s needs and energy level. During the week, I make time for regular walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. On weekends, I’m also available for longer walks or extra time outdoors. Caring for dogs is something I truly enjoy, so it never feels like a chore—it’s part of my routine. 🐾💙

Safety, trust & environment

I provide pet care only in my home. I live in a cozy studio apartment in a very central area of Leiden, surrounded by many nearby parks. This allows me to easily take dogs outside for frequent walks, exercise, and fresh air. I usually work from home, so I’m able to supervise pets throughout the day and give them constant attention and care. Even though my space is a studio, it’s calm, clean, and safe, and I make sure dogs get plenty of outdoor time in the nearby green areas so they stay happy, active, and relaxed. 🐾💙
