TESTIMONIALS
Hear from our pawsitively happy clients.
Winnie
Border Collie
The first 6 months with Winnie an active, reactive working dog! We had a hard time. No rules, minimal structure and we felt like lost puppies with no guidance! We got introduced to Manasi and our lives changed forever. We felt we got our time, our life structure and someone who could guide us through training our dog to work within our lives rather than her run ours.
We gained confidence in how she ran her business as Winnie had to go through several stages before being allowed to join the pack.
1. Meet the dogs (short time)
2. Go to her place for a 2 hour play
3. Join a pack and see how she responds
4. Spend an overnight stay with Manasi
5. Extended stay with Manasi
With these steps we knew that Manasi didn’t just allow any dog into her packs but they had to listen to her and she had to be in control. This gave us confidence!
Winnie entered Manasi’s pack walks twice a week and we also had a few training 1:1 lessons with her. This plan has been a godsend.
Honestly without Manasi we wouldn’t know what to do and how to control our active breed of dog. If we could say Thank you everyday without being annoying we would!
Toby
Maltese
Manasi has looked after our Maltese Toby since 2018 and I recommend her to anyone who is looking for dog walking or short and long stay services. Manasi’s expertise in dog training and her ability to connect with clients ( both dog and owner) is exceptional. We need to travel for work and always feel comfortable that Toby is happy and safe with Manasi and love the daily updates and pictures.

Harvey & Archie
Border Collies
Our very active Border Collies, Harvey & Archie found a forever friend in Manasi.We met Manasi a few years ago and she is brilliant. Her love and understanding of animals, especially dogs, is unparalleled and this was evident from the moment we met and had our first introduction. She is reliable, trustworthy, has complete control over our dogs, and always ensures they are well cared for. She takes Harvey & Archie Monday through to Friday every single week.
They benefit from daily exercise and mental stimulation, and it helps that Manasi has high-level dog training experience. Manasi’s dedication, connection and understanding of both our dogs, their needs and their different personalities makes it incredibly easy to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, honest and exceptionally brilliant dog walker. Manasi has also looked after our dogs on multiple occasions whilst we’ve been on holidays.
We always get updated with photos and we know they’re safe in her hands. Manasi has become a friend and part of our family, and we’d recommend her to anyone without question.
Reme
Labrador Retriever
​
Can’t recommend Best Mates Services enough.
Manasi - aka the dog whisperer!!
We have a 7 year old, yellow Labrador named Reme. Of course a very much loved member of our family. We found after covid restrictions eased and everyone went back to work our poor boy was depressed and not himself. We found best mate services on Insta- instantly drawn to the photos Manasi posted - how happy and ‘smiling’ all the dogs were.
From the moment we (and Reme) met with Manasi, we knew she was a great fit. Manasi has an incredible way with dogs - she is an excellent dog trainer!!! We are still amazed at what she can get out of our badly behaved dog to do!!! And more importantly - Reme absolutely loves Manasi and loves ‘his pack’ friends!!!!!
As a family we can’t even say her name or his best friends names from the pack- as Reme will run to the front door and cry for her!! As a busy working family we are now happy to leave Reme alone during the day, knowing that his bestie will be coming to walk, socialise and entertain him- leaving him exhausted and happy!!!
Manasi also does over night stays and holiday stays at her house - which has been a game changer for us!!!
As a pet owner I really don’t agree with kennels -
Not knowing the actual quality of care or attention your fur baby will receive.
Reme now goes off without a care in the world - literally runs out the door and leaps into Manasi’s car!! We also get daily updates and photos when he is staying with her.
Recently Reme was recovering from an illness and we were due to go on holidays. Manasi was
more than happy to pick him up from the vets and give him the extra TLC and care he required.
Can’t recommend Best Mates Services enough!!!
Luther
Spoodle
Manasi had been walking our dog Luther weekly since March 2021.
As a COVID puppy, this has been so important for his socialisation, spending time with other dogs and people.
We know he's in safe hands with Manasi: she's firm with him (not influenced by his charms!) and treats him as though he's her own.
Arlo
Rottweiler
Manasi has been walking my pup Arlo for close to a year now and I trust her wholeheartedly! She is knowledgeable, kind and you can see how much she loves every single dog in her pack.
She has always been very communicative and provides regular updates, photos and videos which makes me feel at ease when my dog is in her care.
Arlo loves his walks with Mansi more than anything and we are incredibly grateful for how safe she keeps all of the dogs in het pack and how much fun she has with them - thank you!! 💛
Noah
Labrador x Retriever
We came to Manasi when we were looking for a dog-sitter and Noah was just a year old. We were very nervous knowing we would be leaving him for the first time. Manasi's approach to ensuring he was the right personality to fit with the other dogs she was caring for and the gradual process she employs in introducing new dogs filled us with confidence.
Since then Noah has regularly participated in her pack walks and he loves it so much, he recognises the sound of her car pulling up!
We love than she instills discipline in him and backs up the training we have given so he has consistent boundaries. This has been a massive bonus to us at home. She has always cared for Noah like he was her own dog and he absolutely adores her...we often think he loves her more than us! I wouldn't dream of leaving Noah with anyone else!
Brooklyn
Staffy x Boxer
Manasi is great! She is truly a lover of all animals and it shows. She has walked my dog Brooklyn since he was a puppy and he loves her. We have gone on holiday twice and Brooklyn has stayed with her. Manasi’s knowledge and experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes is a plus. I would recommend her services for sure. - Freddie
