It’s me, I let the dogs out!

Pet care experience

Hi there, I am the kind of person that finds joy by caring for others (humans and dogs). I grew up with a few small and medium dogs that were loved dearly. I haven’t been able to get my own yet because I like to travel, but I have been getting my doggy fix by loving and spoiling my sister’s Westie or assisting my family and friends’ when they need me to look after their pups. I am currently working from home full time so I’m available at all times for walks, day care, night boarding, sitting and more. I am very active so there are plenty of opportunities for walks. I live in a very pet friendly complex and neighborhood. I have some parks around me too where we can do play time. I love dogs and I hope you can trust me with your furry family members. My schedule is very flexible, I work from home and that allows me to care for your dog’s needs as they happen. I usually have weekends open as well. I have a very cozy apartment and allow dogs on my furniture and bed so they can get comfortable with my place. If I’m not watching a dog at my place, I like to get familiar with the place so I can figure which spots I should watch out for if the dog is roaming around.

Marcela was great! She communicated effectively throughout our experience. My dog has separation anxiety and she was very understanding and accommodating to ensuring he felt comfortable and transitioned well to spending the day with her.

I like to make dogs feel comfortable at my place so I have no issues with them getting on furniture, playing or lounging around. Same thing if they are at their own place, I like to make sure their routines are followed so they don’t struggle while their owners are away.

Information Marcela G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I need to watch out for. Whether they’re friendly or not with other dogs and people. Dogs should be house and potty trained. Please share the scheduling for potty breaks and meals. All dogs must be up to date on their vaccinations. No females in heat. If its a bigger dog it has to be crate trained.

A typical day

I like to make sure the dogs are getting their fun and play time during the day. I myself, am a runner that also enjoy walks thru the city. There are lots of green areas around my place and parks nearby.
