Caring for Pets, Creating Peace of

I have loved dogs since I was little, growing up with pets in my home and caring for, bathing, and feeding them. I have experience caring for senior pets. I had one pet live with me for 14 years and am well versed in the unique needs of senior pets, including special diets, medication administration, and gentle exercise routines to keep them comfortable and healthy. I also have a solid understanding of animal behavior and training techniques, which helps me handle both puppies and senior dogs effectively. I can assist with basic obedience training and socialization of puppies, making sure they develop good habits early on. On the other hand, open communication with pet owners, giving them updates and being responsive to any specific instructions or concerns, is very important.

Marcela was great again with my Zeus. She followed instructions perfectly, sent lovely videos of the walk and a little bit of play time with my pup, and I can see Zeus really enjoys having her as a walker.

Booked two dog walks for my two dogs at last minute with Marcela. She was highly responsive via chat. My one pup who is anxious loved her by the second walk! She sends photos of the walk as well which is nice. Will definitely book with Marcela again. Thank you!

Marcela did an amazing job!! She was so communicative and responsive, and took great photos and videos of the walk. I can tell my dog got comfortable with her very quickly, and that she was able to read his communication and body language very quickly as well.

Marcela took a great care of my new puppy, and sent updates with lots of photos. I’ll definitely book her again the next time I need a sitter.
