About: I have over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and horses. From raising my own dogs through every stage of life—puppies to seniors—I understand the love and attention pets need to thrive. I’m also experienced in administering medications, so you can feel confident that your pets are in capable, caring hands. My goal is to provide the same dependable, compassionate care I give my own animals, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I currently work an early morning schedule from 12:00AM to 8:30AM or sometimes a little later, which allows me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive pet care throughout the rest of the day. For overnight stays, depending on your pet’s needs, my husband is also available to provide morning feedings while I’m at work. This ensures your pets receive consistent care and attention, even during early hours. Despite my work schedule, I am fully committed to offering reliable, compassionate, and exceptional care, treating every pet with the same love and attention I give my own. Although I do not offer boarding services at my home due to the animals I already care for, I provide in-home pet care with the utmost dedication. When staying in your home, I treat it as if it were my own, ensuring your pets are cared for just as I would care for my own. I follow every detail you provide to keep them calm, comfortable, and happy throughout your time away, giving you peace of mind that they are in loving, capable hands.

“Marcelina is an excellent and sweet petsitter who is very attentive to details and very communicative towards pet owners. She took care of my cat, Nydia (who is very picky) and I could tell that Nydia loved her from the start. I am very happy with Marcelina's services, recommend her 1000% (yes, one thousand percent) and will definitely re-book to take care of my chonky cat!”

About: I am a certified service animal trainer with hands-on experience raising, handling, and training a service dog full-time from 8 weeks to 9 months old. During that time, I focused on obedience training, socialization, public access skills, daily care, and building strong positive behaviors in a variety of environments. This experience taught me patience, consistency, and how to confidently care for dogs with different needs and personalities. I am passionate about providing attentive, loving, and reliable care to every pet as if they were my own. As a college student home for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available any time throughout the week for pet care needs. Caring for animals easily fits into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and have experience maintaining structured schedules for feeding, walks, playtime, and training. Whether your pet needs early morning care, midday visits, or evening walks. I’m dependable, responsive, and happy to accommodate different schedules. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their normal routine consistent. During drop-in visits, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and receive any needed potty breaks or exercise, all per your instructions. For dog walks, I prioritize safety, patience, and positive interactions while making sure each dog gets the exercise and enrichment they need. With my background in service dog training and handling, I’m comfortable working with different temperaments and reinforcing good behaviors during visits and walks.
About: I’ve cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors since I was a kid. I’m experienced with puppies who need patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who need extra care and attention. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home part of the week, which allows me to be flexible and available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I care for pets exclusively in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, prioritize safety, and provide regular updates.

About: I have cared for animals my entire life, ranging from large breeds like Mastiffs and German Shepherds to small dogs and cats. Additionally, my background working at a pet store gave me hands-on experience caring for rodents, birds, fish, and reptiles. I am available weekdays from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM for drop-in visits (feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and playtime) or walks. Weekend availability is also available upon request. I will closely follow all care instructions and household rules to keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Willing to pick up any pet waste/litter box maintenance as well.
About: My beloved shih tzu passed recently after long and adventurous 14 years. I've had him since he was 8 weeks old, so I’m very well familiar with puppy stage as well as senior years. I was very attached to my doggie and know a lot about small breed needs and temperament. I’m also available to care for medium size dogs on case by case basis. Please, contact me for more information. I work from home full time and can give your pet plenty of attention, exercise and potty breaks. We always have someone at home, so your pet would always have company. I strive to provide the same care your pet would get at home. As a small dog owner I struggled to find a good sitter for my Shih Tzu, so I want to be that one person you can trust with your pet. I never book multiple families at the same time, so your pet will have all of my attention and care. I have a large house and a few acres of land to run around and have fun. We do not have any other pets right now, but we do have 2 small children who are gentle and great with animals.
About: From experience with puppies to older dogs, I also offer grooming and other services if needed. I have big patio and a friendly pet they can play with.

My neighborhood is fairly new and small, we have a fenced yard and lots of room to play, we have a lot of toys and stuff around the house for your babies to play with!

About: I’ve taken care of family and neighbor dogs for a while. I’ve owned pets all my life and have worked at a professional facility for dog boarding and daycare for a while.

I provide loving, reliable care, regular updates, and lots of attention to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. I’m up by 7am each morning to give my two diabetic dogs their scheduled insulin injections (every 12 hours), so I’m very consistent and structured with routines. After that, I’m home for the majority of the day caring for the house and spending time with our three corgis. Because I’m home-based, your pup will receive plenty of supervision, attention, and timely care throughout the day. I ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and comfortable, following routines and medications precisely, giving love and attention, and keeping you informed throughout their time with me.

She was wonderful with my three dogs and even came on her day off to make sure they were taken care of. She alerted me right away when she noticed my front door was open, which I really appreciated. Very reliable, communicative, and attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. Highly recommend.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
