My name is Manuel and I am originally from Italy. I have lived abroad for 10 years and currently I am based in the Hague, while my work is in Amsterdam. I work from home most of the time and I tend to have a flexible office schedule, which has allowed me in the past 2 years to build my parallel dogsitting activity.
My preference is to housesit in The Hague for a minimum of 2 nights. Most of the time I will know plenty in advance if I am available for a certain period, and occasionally I might have an obligation to spend the day in Amsterdam. I am always happy to discuss solutions together.
I am experienced in walking and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, tempers. I looked after animals with low mobility or other impediments (hearing, sight), rescue and emotionally challenged dogs. I am always focused on my surroundings during walks and respectful of your neighbourhood and other dogs. As I work from home mostly on a 9-5 schedule, my clients enjoy plenty of company during the day. I always do my best to accommodate their existing eating/walking habits and enjoy spending extra time out whenever possible.
I am not normally able to drop by for a few hours during weekdays.
I prefer to have one meet up before the first booking. Any behavioral or medical notes or extra pets must be disclosed before our meet and greet.
I am a true and experienced plant lover, and if you like I'll be happy to keep an eye on your plants while you are away.
I expect to be welcomed in a clean and comfortable house and I will respect your place and goods as if they were mine.
If there are any cameras in your house, I expect them to he switched off completely during my stay.
Manuel was amazing! I loved all of the pictures he sent us of our doggie, she looked so happy and our house was also well taken care of. He really seemed to enjoy his time with our baby, and that's all we could ask for. Would gladly use his services again. Thank you!
Manuel was perfect with our rescue dog. We were little skeptical if anyone will be able to take care of Joey as she is not very friendly with other dogs. But Manuel just proved us wrong. He was outstanding with Joey. He gave all the love and care for Joey in our absence.
