Friendliest Dog Lover Right Here!

Pet care experience

I became a pet sitter just because I love dogs so much! It’s been so rewarding getting to meet new, unique pups and provide them with love and happiness while their owners are away. I know how difficult it can be to be away from your best friend, so my job is to make sure that you and your pup feel completely taken care of while you’re away. Your pup and I will have a great time together staying happy and healthy! Your pup will love spending time with me because I always try to make having fun a priority during our stay. I love to play fetch and stay active, so your pup will be a great fit with me if they like to get lots of exercise! Whitney (my Pomeranian) and I head out for fetch and walks all the time, so we will certainly make time to get out into the world and explore the sights and smells! I do like to schedule meet-and-greets for new clients, because it is a good way for me to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another. Also, it’s a great time for me to ask lots of questions in-person about you, your pup, and your expectations for our time together. During a meet, I like to just be as friendly and open with you and your pup as possible. I find that pups are very receptive to my energy and openness towards them, so I typically make fast friends with new pooches. During a stay, I’ll always make sure that your pup is cared for in the best way possible. I love to spoil the pups that I’m watching, so please let me know how I can make your pup’s dreams come true! Whether that’s some extra belly rubs or cuddles on the couch with their favorite movie, I’m all ears! I love to hand out treats for good behavior, so you can be rest assured that your pup will have a fully belly when they’re with me. I’m also willing to help bathe and groom your pets for you as well!

Marcel is amazing and great with animals! And they love him back! He is always so happy and upbeat, with a great sense of humor. Whenever I need someone to help with my fur baby, he’s my go-to.

Marcel has a wonderful Pomeranian named whitney that is the sweetest little dog ever. He takes her everywhere, keeps her groomed, and is such a happy and well behaved dog. I wouldn’t doubt in my mind that he would be a great dog sitter. Whenever we go out in public he is always excited to see a dog, and kindly ask if he can pet the dog to the owner.

Information Marcel V. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

During our time together, we’ll make sure to stay happy and healthy through lots of exercise. I love to head to the dog park to get some off-leash time in as well as introduce your pup to some new furry friends. There are a few parks in my area that are perfect for meeting new friends and exploring! There are some very nice trails around my apartment complex as well that feature a lot of terrain changes and fun challenges. If we decide to go on an adventure, I love to head to Zilker Park or Mt. Bonnel; they are just great places to bring pups to! But wherever we go, I do like to bring pups with me all the time, so car rides will always be on the docket.
