Highlights
Pet care experience
Happy Pets, Peace of Mind
What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I've had dogs for most of my life, so I understand their needs, personalities, and the importance of providing them with love, patience, and a safe environment. I currently have a sweet Shih Tzu who is a beloved member of my family, and caring for her has given me even more experience with daily routines, grooming, exercise, and companionship. Since moving to Canada, I've also cared for dogs for friends and families, earning their trust by treating every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or simply loves extra cuddles, I'll make sure they receive personalized care, plenty of attention, and lots of affection while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and loved.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Highly, highly recommend Manuela! She is an incredible dog walker and just a wonderful human being. My dog son absolutely loves her, and I always feel completely at ease knowing he is in such great hands. Professional, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about animals. Five stars aren't enough!"
She’s always been someone I can count on, and I know any pet in her care will be treated with kindness, patience, and lots of attention. She genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and makes sure they feel comfortable and safe. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending her to friends or family, and I’d trust her with any pet.
She has looked after my dog, Gaia, a few times, and I honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better. She treats Gaia like she’s her own and always makes sure she’s happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I never have to worry because I know Gaia is in great hands. It’s obvious how much she loves animals, and I would trust her with my dog anytime. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and reliable!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. Right now, I'm focused on working from home and building my own personal projects and business, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I genuinely do this because I love dogs. I enjoy spending time with them, taking them on walks, playing, and making sure they feel safe and happy. I also have a Shih Tzu, and I love giving her the opportunity to socialize and make new furry friends. Caring for other dogs brings me so much joy, and I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I keep a close eye on every pet in my care and make sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved at all times. When pets stay in my home, they have a clean, safe, and calm environment where they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. If I ever need to step out for a short time, I have indoor security cameras so I can monitor them remotely and make sure they are safe. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, so pets feel comfortable and maintain their normal routine while their owners are away.
Pets
A typical day
Every dog is different, so I like to tailor activities to their personality and energy level. We can enjoy walks, playtime with toys, interactive games, and plenty of cuddle time if they enjoy affection. I also love giving treats (with the owner's approval) and making sure they get lots of positive attention throughout the day.
