House Sitting • Aug 16, 2026

Marcela took care of our two dogs for two nights and three days. This was our first time using Rover, and we couldn’t have been happier! She was incredible with our dogs—she walked them three times a day, sent us pictures of them regularly, and was in constant communication with us. Our two doggies loved her. We will definitely use her services again. She also took amazing care of our apartment while housesitting for us. We highly recommend Marcela!

Another wonderful stay with Marcela for our dog Odara! She even got more comfortable with kitties, which is great help for us! Definitely would have her stay with Marcela again next time!

House Sitting • Jul 23, 2026

Marcela is the best dog sitter / house sitter we have had yet! The house was immaculate when we returned, and our dog even eagerly ate her food and took her medicines with Marcela's help. This is quite a feat since our dog is quite picky when we try to feed and medicate her. Marcela also was a great communicator and great to work with. Her routine updates included pictures that show just how happy our girl was while we were away. Sort of bittersweet, but we will take it! We highly recommend Marcela!

Odara was very happy when we picked her up! Marcela did a terrific job with her again. We can always trust Odara with her care.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and cozy environment. Pets receive plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection while I strictly follow the owner’s routines, instructions, and care guidelines to ensure consistency and comfort.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day as a pet sitter includes engaging walks, park adventures, and exploring safe environments. I incorporate play with favorite toys, positive reinforcement, and attentive care to make sure pets feel happy, stimulated, and secure throughout the day.

Before pet sitting, I prioritize learning each pet’s routine, dietary needs, medical requirements, exercise preferences, and any behavioral quirks or triggers. This helps me provide personalized care and ensures each pet feels safe, understood, and comfortable under my supervision.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
