About Marcela A.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety, trust, and communication in every visit. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents to maintain each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any special care needs. I always ensure pets are in a safe, secure environment and keep a close eye on their behavior and well being. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and stress free in their own environment.
Information Marcela A. would like to know about your pet
Before our first walk, I like to learn as much as possible about your dog so I can give them the best care. Please let me know about their energy level, walking habits, and any specific routines they’re used to. It’s also helpful to know if they have any triggers, fears, or special needs, as well as how they interact with other dogs or people. If your dog has any medical conditions or requires medication, I’m happy to follow instructions carefully. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, happy, and comfortable every time we’re together
A typical day
A typical walk with me is fun, safe, and tailored to your dog’s personality 😊 I make sure they get the right balance of exercise and stimulation whether that’s a relaxed walk with lots of sniffing or a more active walk for high energy pups. We’ll explore the neighborhood, take breaks as needed, and I always keep safety a priority. I also include playtime when possible and make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for at all times. You’ll receive photo and video updates so you can see how your pup is doing during our time together 🐾

Pet care experience
I truly enjoy spending time with pups and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m very attentive, patient, and reliable. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience with daily walks, feeding routines, administering basic care, and keeping dogs active and engaged. I’m also very detail oriented, so I carefully follow any instructions you provide to maintain your dog’s routine. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I adapt to their needs. Your dog’s safety and happiness are always my top priority.
Reviews
I had a wonderful experience with Marcela caring for my dog. During our first meeting, my dog was anxious and barked out of caution, but Marcela did everything she could to help her feel calm and at ease. She followed my instructions precisely and carried out everything I asked exactly as requested. She was a calm, composed professional throughout, and her steady demeanor really put both me and my dog at ease. I would highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again in the future!
Marcela is always amazing with our pup and fully follows all directions! She gives amazingly thorough reports as well!
Marcela was awesome with my cat, Tuesday, while we were on vacation. She kept us updated with daily photos, it made being away so much easier. She’s great with pets and she made sure Tuesday was comfortable and getting lots of love and attention. I felt totally at ease knowing he was being so well looked after. Would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone!
Marcella cared for my dog numerous times when I was out of town. She was very attentive to him and made sure that as he aged he received his medication at the proper times and was fed on schedule. (Although he often felt his clock was on an esrlier time zone and would start following her an hour before - lest she might think of forgetting!) She often stayed in the house while I was gone and I trusted her completely to take care of both the dog and house in the way I wanted. I would highly, highly recommend her.
