Pet care experience

Dog lover for life

I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always had a deep love and connection with them. While I don’t currently own a dog, I regularly care for my cousin’s dog here in New Jersey — walking, feeding, and keeping him company. I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals. Your furry friend will feel right at home with me!

I have known Manuela my whole life and she has always been incredibly responsible and loving with animals. She has cared for family and friends’ dogs with great dedication, always attentive to their wellbeing and safety. She is punctual, reliable, and dogs absolutely love her. I highly recommend her as a pet caregiver.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Manuela for a long time and she is truly a natural with animals. Dogs feel comfortable around her immediately — she is patient, gentle, and very attentive to their needs. She takes her responsibilities seriously and always goes the extra mile. I would trust her with any pet without hesitation.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety is my top priority. Since I offer walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I’m punctual, communicative, and will send regular photo updates throughout every visit so you always know your pup is happy and safe!

A typical day

We will go for walks in the neighborhood and enjoy the nearby park. I love giving pets lots of attention, playtime and cuddles. I make sure they are comfortable, well-fed and happy throughout the day!
