Hi there! I’m Manu. I’ve had dogs by my side since the day I was born, so life without them just feels incomplete. That’s why I decided to travel doing pet sitting. Having a dog to hang out with is what makes me feel safe, grounded, and at home wherever I am, as well as knowing that I'll be the human dedicated to make them feel the same. As a plus, meeting their families also ends up being a joyful experience.

I have some wonderful reviews on my TrustedHousesitters profile from my time in the UK, Spain and Austria and would love to connect with the local furries while I get to know a bit more of lovely London.

Since I run my own business, my work involves a lot of writing and design projects. This means my schedule is flexible and I can easily manage my own hours. Having breaks to play with dogs and go for walks is actually perfect for me to keep my creative energy flowing. Since I work from my laptop, I am around most of the time to keep them company.

I’ve grown up with some very stubborn dogs including a little doxie, so I’m used to different personalities. My approach is to be patient but firm, helping dogs feel comfortable while keeping clear boundaries. I find that respecting their space helps a lot in having them respect you as well, so that's how I build trust. I’m also happy to give medication as long as your pet is reasonably comfortable with it and doesn’t become aggressive during handling. I've dealt with furry patients before and I'm quite useful to monitor and identify changes in symptoms. To make sure every dog gets enough attention, I only care for up to three dogs at a time.

Whether your pet stays for a few hours or a few days, they will have a buddy to hang out with and a good setup. I will keep you updated with pictures the whole time so you don’t have to worry. Hope we get to chat!
