Love Manni, Maisy, and the rest of the family! I had to leave my doggy (Ollie) for the weekend and had no idea where to leave him with. He's very spoiled and gets separation anxiety (and me too...) so I wanted the best for him. I was considering Pets Hotel until i found out that they crate their dogs most of the day and barely play outside. Ollie doesn't like crates and loves to be around humans and other dogs. So, I did my research and came across Maisy's Mutts! We did a meet and greet 3 weeks before I had to leave for the weekend and it went great. I felt SO comfortable leaving Ollie with the family and Manni kept me updated every day with pictures which definitely helped with my separation anxiety (LOL!). Ollie loves them and he had so much fun with Maisy and their other furry friend. Manni is definitely my go-to boarding place!!! read more

See all

Treated our dog like part of the family! Excellent care from Manfred and Whitney and they made Tux feel right at home.

Our dog, Beau, had a blast with Manni, Whitney, their kids, Maisy, and various other dogs who were there with him. Manni is careful to only take on dogs that will work well with others. Beau is going to be so bored now at home with just me and my husband. The property is perfect for doggy fun. Manni sent tons of photos of Beau and I could tell he was happy and at ease. I won't take Beau anywhere else! Thank you Maisy's Mutts! read more

We were so happy with the care Manni & Whitney provided to our Sailor. They sent pics throughout the day and he was clearly having a great time. Look forward to using them for future doggy sitting needs! read more

I called Maisy's Mutts because I had a broken foot, and needed someone to walk my dog. Manni came the next day, and I found out he's far more than a dog walker - he's also an experienced trainer. He had lots of great advice on how to deal with my dog's "pulling" issues. Manni shows up on time, is super friendly and dependable, and I always trust him completely with my dog. He even sends me a picture every time they walk. I highly recommend Maisy's Mutts! read more

Manni was exceptional with his customer service. So warm and kind, and him and his wife seem like wonderful, dog loving people! I look forward to using their services in the future! read more

Manni was awesome with our dog! We left him for ten days, we received many pictures and texts daily (which we absolutely loved) to let us know how our dog was doing. Our dog loved Manni and his family as well. We definitely can't wait til our next vacay! And neither can our dog! :) thank you manni! read more

Manni is by-far the absolute best puppy-sitter I've ever had. When I leave my dog Nala with him, I know she is in good hands, and I never have to worry about a thing. I can leave for vacation and know that Nala is having so much fun. Manni communicates with me the entire time, sending picture updates and letting me know how Nala is doing. I know that when Nala is there, she is treated like part of the family. I'm grateful to have found Manni to puppy-sit for us, and I wouldn't want my dog to stay anywhere else! read more

Our dog's new home away from home! We feel as though we've found someone who loves our dog as much as we do and Our dog has a new bff in Maisy! read more

Manni is a dog whispering genius. Two hours with our completely out of control puppy and we now understand how to communicate wth him and what he is telling us. We now have a happy, confident little guy and a detailed training plan to keep him on track. Plus Manni is just such a pleasant, funny and authentic person, a pleasure to work with. 1000% recommended. Beyond all expectations. read more

Manni, Whitney, and Maisy are absolutely wonderful! We moved to Livermore in March 2016 and were so lucky to find them on Rover.com shortly thereafter. From the moment Cooper and I met Manni and Maisy at our first meet and greet, I felt 100% comfortable that he would be in good hands. After Cooper's first stay, they became our "go to" dog sitter. Manni was very flexible in working with our schedules for drop-off and pick-up times, even offering to pick Cooper up at our home one time. Cooper always got spoiled with lots of play time and snuggles. And, we got spoiled with lots of updates and pictures! We were very sad when we heard they were moving to Fresno. Thank you Manni, Whitney, and Maisy! We, especially Cooper, miss you! read more

I recommend Maisy's Mutts without hesitation! Manny took in my dog and treated her like family even though it was a holiday weekend! He went out of his way to allow me to use his services on such short notice! He went above and beyond with flexibility of schedule and I loved all the pics that he sent while I was away for Christmas! Thanks to Manny and his entire family for the great service and care my dog and I received! And another bonus was Athena made a new friend with their dog Maisy! read more

Let's just say that after I got my dog Max back from Manni and Whitney, he seemed definitely more well mannered, and he had loads of fun from the pictures and descriptions that were sent to me. Leaving your dog that you love as your child, is hard to do and trust. There was no doubt in my mind after leaving Max once with them, that I completely trusted and felt secure doing so again. Manni is a great dog teacher, I just wish I kept up with my dogs new learned manners. read more

I highly recommend Maisy's Mutts. We contacted Manni regarding some training and concerns for our recently adopted 2 year-old terrier mix. Manni was able to schedule us quickly which we were thankful for, as we did not want to be making any bad habits worse due to our pet inexperience. Once Manni arrived for the initial evaluation, it was obvious that he is highly skilled and knowledgeable. Our dog was freaking out worse than me or my husband had ever seen, but Manni was completely calm and professional despite all of the barking and growling. During the evaluation, Manni gave us tons of information on why our dog does the things she does and how to begin to correct the behaviors. By the end of the evaluation, he and our dog were also close friends. A couple of days after the evaluation, Manni emailed us our full comprehensive training plan. He has also been extremely available and responsive to our texts regarding questions that have popped up here and there. Yet another thing that I highly respect is that Manni didn't immediately lay out a multi-visit costly plan, as it seems like so many places are apt to do. It is obvious that Manni truly loves dogs and wants them and there owners to succeed! read more

I cannot say enough about Manni and how wonderful he is with my 1 year old Yorkie, this dog is my life. From the moment I met him, I was comfortable and confident with trusting him with my baby. I especially liked the fact that this is all done in his home and my dog is never locked in a cage somewhere. I have used him for daycare and boarding on several occasions when I go on vacation and he treats my dog and all dogs like they are part of his family. I never worry about how she's doing or how her day has been. He sends multiple pictures and text updates daily so I can see how much fun she is having with all of her doggie friends. Manni truly cares about animals and my little one is pawing to get out of the car when she realizes we are pulling up to his house. She drags me on her leash running over to him because she's so excited to see him. Do not hesitate to give Maisy's Mutts a try. Whether you're looking for training, boarding, daycare, dog walking, etc., Manni is definitely the one to call. His wife is also lovely and my dog loves her too! read more

Whitney and Manni were wonderful! They are extremely knowledgeable, patient and very safety conscious which I really appreciate. My Australian shepherd is only 9 months old so he is very playful, energetic and requires a lot of attention. They were very understanding of my puppy's needs and knew exactly how to accommodate him. He had so much fun playing with their dog Macy. I received picture updates throughout the day and I was very pleased to see my puppy happy and having so much fun. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Absolutely fantastic experience with Manni and Whitney as a pet sitter. The best pet sitter anyone can ever ask for. Manni is also an excellent trainer. Their dog Maisy is very friendly and was a great company for our puppy Emma. We had a worry free vacation thanks to Manni. He kept us updated with pictures the entire time. I would travel 3 hours if we have to leave our puppy Emma again for long vacation just so that I have peace of mind that she is in good hands. read more

I cannot speak more highly of Manni and Whitney, and the care they provided our dog when we needed a doggie sitter. Everyone has them 5 stars for a reason. Reasonably priced, and they brought our dog in as part of their family, which I thought was amazing. You aren't leaving your dog in some kennel where they may or may not get to integrate with other dogs, etc. Manni stayed in touch with us throughout the entire trip, texting pictures, etc. of the adventures. So awesome. Will forever be grateful we found them. Oh how I wish they live closer to us in Santa Barbara, but we'll definitely reach out them whenever it's possible! Thanks Manni and Whitney! read more

Riley had such an amazing time! We could tell from all the wonderful pictures and videos Manni and Whitney sent during the stay. Lots of trips to the dog park, playing with Maisy and snuggles! This was Riley's first overnight stay so we were a little nervous about how he would do with strangers. But right away starting with the meet and great we felt so comfortable. Manni and Whitney took great care of Riley, we were able to really enjoy our time away knowing Riley was happy and well cared for! Riley is looking forward to his next stay! read more

Manni is amazing! I found him through Rover.com and was not disappointed but the reviews he received there. Manni has been working with my Shepard mix on some leash reaction issues and has done an amazing job and have already seen major results and we have had 2 sessions. Manni is very patient, knowledgeable, and clearly loves what he does. Not to mention my dog is super excited to see him every time he comes over. Manni is very responsive and definitely goes above and beyond. If you are on the fence, take the plunge and work with Manni, you won't regret it. read more

I've been meaning to write this review for a while. Manni and Whitney (and their dog Maisy) are the best there is for dog sitting and boarding. We have used a few other sitters in the past and there is no comparison - our puppy has absolutely become a part of their family and I will have a hard time trusting anyone else to care for her. Manni is easy to communicate with, extremely reliable, and has bent over backwards to accommodate our pup's needs and last minute scheduling changes. Most importantly, he and his family treat our pup like their own dog. She always gets so excited to go to Manni's and has an amazing time full of play and exercise - which we know because he sends us many picture updates each day. I can't say enough good things about this family - we appreciate them so much and all they have done for our puppy since she was just 3 months old! read more

I've had the pleasure of working with Manni the last few weeks and it has been great. His knowledge and approach is breed specific which truly has the best results. I've only had two training sessions so far and have seen significant improvements in my dog. Manni has gone over and beyond to help us (even texting and/or emailing outside of training hours). I am so glad that we found such a great trainer and I will definitely be recommending him in the future. read more

I have had nothing but good things to say about Manni. I have two rescue dogs that came to me as older adults. They were not getting along. Manni came by for a visit and observed the dogs and gave us great advice. He followed with detailed written instruction and periodic follow up. After some work my dogs get on great! Can't go wrong with Maisy's Mutts! read more

I really can't say enough about Maisy's Mutts and I'm writing to let everyone in the Fresno area know that our loss is your gain! We were lucky enough to find Manni and Whitney through Rover.com and used them for boarding and daycare for about a year before their recent move to Fresno. We are SO sad they are gone and so is our dog. :-( They were a perfect dog sitter match for us. Duffy loved his time with them so much it seemed like he never wanted to come back home with us! He was so active with them and loved his walks, trips the the dog park, dog friendly restaurants and wrestling sessions with Maisy. The daily pictures of his adventures really helped us relax while we were away from him. He also had plenty of time to rest and relax on the couch or bed and was treated as if he was one of their own. We could not have asked for more. It's going to be really hard to find a sitter to fill their shoes. :-) read more
