Pet care experience

Excellent pet care

I’ve always loved animals. Growing up I had dogs, ferrets, frogs, and sugar gliders but now I have cats. I have always been the pet sitter for family members as well as coworkers and friends. I have worked in vet offices and have taken care of many dogs across the board. I’ve taken care of large breeds all the way to little breeds. I work a full time job but can be flexible as I work hybrid remote.

Marcela took great care of my dog Winnie for five days! She was reliable, communicative, and Winnie enjoyed her time with Marcela in the comfort of our home. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.

Marcela was amazing with my senior dog and making sure medications were administered and that she ate her meals on time while I was away. The photos definitely put my mind at ease. Will definitely book her again.

Rebooked with Marcela knowing our dogs would be taken care of and not have to worry! She’s Greta with providing updates and pictures while away. Also very attentive to directions left and promptly responding to any messages we sent.

We had a great first time experience with Rover. Marcela was great with the dogs and our home and she communicated well. I will definitely use her again.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Most days I’m working from home so I have a lot of flexibility. I’m available for visits, walks, and of course over night stays if needed.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve cared for pets with strict feeding schedules and medical needs. I’ve also been trusted in clients homes. So whatever instructions are left for the pet I make sure I follow them.

Pets

A typical day

I have cats of my own and I’m home most days. I get to spend plenty of time playing with them and making sure they get proper exercise. When I care for dogs we go for three walks a day to stretch and exercise.

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
I typically always meet my clients ahead of time, it gives piece of mind to them because someone is going to be watching a very important member of their family
