Safety, trust & environment
Back in Brazil, my beloved cats and dog await my return, but until then, I'd be honored to treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. If your pet has any special needs, just let me know—I'm more than happy to accommodate and ensure they feel comfortable and safe. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my highest priorities. So, if you need a reliable and compassionate caregiver, please don't hesitate to reach out. Let's ensure your furry companion has the best care possible while you're away. Looking forward to meeting you and your beloved pet!
Information Marcela D. would like to know about your pet
Understanding their age, temperament, special needs, dietary preferences, exercise requirements, and social behavior is essential to provide your dog with the best care and a great experience.
A typical day
During our time together, your dog will enjoy a variety of activities tailored to their energy levels and preferences. From calm walks in quiet settings to more energetic adventures like running and jogging, I'll ensure your furry companion gets the perfect amount of exercise and stimulation. Engaging games with interactive toys, socializing with other friendly dogs (if the dog likes), and plenty of cuddle sessions.

Graduate student & pet lover
Pet care experience
Growing up surrounded by animals, I've had the joy of caring for dogs, cats, turtles, and fish. One of my most cherished companions was Tody, my dachshund, who lived a remarkable 17 years. This experience taught me valuable lessons on caring for senior dogs, especially when they face challenges in their mobility. Now, as a Ph.D. student in Pittsburgh, I've found comfort in pet-sitting for friends while they're away. Whether it's a dog, cat, or any other furry friend, I'm always thrilled to take them for a walk, go for a jog, or provide a comfortable overnight stay at your place (unfortunately, my current building doesn't allow pets).
Reviews


They did a great job taking care of our cats and dogs for a weekend. The pups seemed quite happy and content in the photo updates. Took good care of our home too

Marcela is wonderful. Our pets love her and she is so thoughtful and easy to work with. A+ in our book!!
Marcela has been very helpful and reliable when dropping in to visit my cat. I have great peace of mind that my cat will be well cared for!

Amazing job! Levi loved her immediately. Extremely attentive and detailed.
