Works from home, seeks dog coworker

Pet care experience

I have loved and cared for dogs basically my entire life. I’ve grown up with big dogs as family companions and eagerly taken responsibility for them! From my very first Saint Bernard to my first German Shepard, then to caring for my English mastiff and second German Shepard at the same time, I have had a lifetime of puppy love. With parents that love to travel the world, I was often the designated caretaker for the dogs; feeding, walking & taking out for potty breaks, bathing, and providing unique care for my post-surgery mastiff. I am usually the first call for friends (or friends of friends) who need someone they can trust to watch their beloved pup while they work late or have an important event. I have a genuine love for dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I am dedicated to providing the best possible care for them. I work from home, and I am a homebody almost to a fault! Besides going to the gym or the occasional social evening in the weekend, I am home pretty much all of the time. I will have plenty of time to take out, care for, and play with your pups! My work from home job is on my own terms and I can work at my own pace and take as many breaks as I would like. I on my have one recurring meeting at 5 pm. I have plenty of time to devote to your dog so they get all of the care and attention that they need. I have a two floor, two bedroom townhome which I share with my boyfriend. We have a small outdoor patio and shared grass yard space (not fenced). Besides that, our gated community of townhome has a dog park right across from us, as well as walking trails and a large amount of other green space, and even a dog washing spa! I live in the perfect environment for a happy pup to thrive in. There are other dogs in my neighborhood and they are all very friendly. Our community is a friendly and safe one, with only residents or those with provided access being able to enter the property, and a helpful staff available and close by during the workday for anything we need. With my availability, I am able to monitor your pups, take them out frequently, and provide a safe, attentive environment for their stay. If I am caring for a pup in your home, I will show both your dog and your home the highest level of respect. It is important for dogs to feel comfortable in their own home, and I aim to keep them feeling safe, happy, and healthy until you are back to do the same!

Marcela was the best sitter for our pup! She was so prepared with questions and communicated with us everyday with pictures and videos! She made sure my boy had fun every single day and cared for him so well. She also gave me a free plant, so she’s amazing! I will definitely be booking with her in the future. This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad I found her! Thank you!!! ❤️❤️

Marcela was a phenomenal dog sitter for our dog Milo! She was really intentional with her questions and preparation for our stay. I could tell she was really attentive and caring for Milo through pictures and updates throughout his visit. I highly recommend her to future Rover clients!

Marcela was fantastic! She cared for our elderly dog so patiently and completely! Our old girl is 13 years old and she is showing her age. Marcela gave her the required medicine and the special care she needed. Marcela gave us updates and sent pictures. She inquired and purchased things to help make our old girl be more comfortable. I have had many dog sitters in my lifetime and none can compare to Marcela!!! She truly is the BEST!!!

Information Marcela M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any behaviors, anxieties, conditions, tendencies etc that I should look out for! I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood, so it would be best if your pup gets along well with others! I love all dogs, but the community in which I live has a breed restriction list, so I can only accept boarding / daycare bookings for breeds that are NOT on this list: - Doberman Pinscher - Pit bull (mixes, AST, and similar pit bull dogs) - Chow Chow - Rottweiler - Presa Canario - Akita - Wolf Hybrid mixes - Any dogs mixed with any of these breeds

A typical day

I love to cuddle on the couch with a pup just as much as I enjoy a walk in the sun or a game of fetch in the dog park. These are all things we can do without even leaving the place where I live, if I am boarding!
