About me...

Hi! I’m Luis, a lifelong animal lover and proud founder of Whistle & Willow.

I'm from Madrid, Spain and am settled here in Ancoats, Manchester with my partner, son and 2.5 year old Labrador Retriever, Ollie. I am a keen cyclist. I work in IT remotely at home for a few hours per day and am able to arrange my work around my dog walking services.

We are due to move shortly and will have the space and facilities to offer home boarding doggy day/night, holiday care from early 2026.

After using various care services for our Labrador, Ollie, I realised that truly personalised and attentive care isn’t always easy to find. That experience inspired me to create a service where every dog is treated as an individual — with patience, love and genuine attention to their needs.

My focus is on providing high-quality, reliable care where safety and detail matter. Whether it’s a daily local walk or a trip further afield for an adventure walk, you can trust that your dog will be cared for as if they were my own.
