Your pets' happiness is my business
Pet care experience
-I'm not currently available for reoccurring daily bookings unless you live off Hillside Rd or Forrester Blvd but would be happy to help if you need a one time or short term service- -If looking for house sitting my mom is currently the one performing that service- Hello, my name is Marcela and I am so excited to help with your pet caring needs. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats and other furry, feathered, and scaly friends. I have owned a mouse, hamster, ferret, cockatiel, and currently own parakeets, a Chinese water dragon, and guinea pigs. I have boarded dogs on many occasions, the longest being around 3 weeks. I have also walked dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have also boarded and catsat on many occasions. Once I catsat for a woman who had 13 cats, because she boarded shelter cats, including a mother taking care of her babies. I am a lover of all animals and enjoy spending time and playing with them. I have never had a dog but have always wanted one and now I live my dream by spending time with your pets! If you have both dogs and cats and/or other animals, I'm happy to board, visit, or help with whatever service you need for all your pets so you don't have to separate them.
Reviews
Charli loves Marcela and being at her home. She’s learned to be on good behavior because of Marcela’s commands and has picked up on some good habits. We can’t thank Marcela enough!
We love Marcela (and so does my dog)! We always have a great experience with her and I have peace of mind knowing that my dog is in good hands!
Thank you, Marcela, for taking such good care of Cooper this weekend. We really appreciate your flexibility, kindness, and compassion. We look forward to seeing you again soon and know that Cooper does too!
We are repeat clients for sweet Marcela. When we dropped off our pup for the second time, she wagged and kissed Marcela this made us feel so comfortable knowing she’s in a loving home. We’ve already rebooked for future visits!!

Safety, trust & environment
My family and I will give your fur babies lots of affection and play time. I try to give them an experience that makes them feel at home or even better, on vacation too.
Home
Information Marcela R. would like to know about your pet
I am happy to take care of puppies but do ask that they be potty trained if you're looking for boarding or daycare. I'd like to know how your pet likes to play, if they get along with other pets, and what may be a trigger for them. I ask for your daily schedule and house rules and will try to do things as your pet is used to so they can have consistency and feel comfortable.
A typical day
I have several dog and cat toys and will make sure your fur baby has plenty of fun and interaction. I have a small yard so they can stretch their legs. I usually walk pups 3 times a day but depending on their energy level and home schedule I can do more or less or also take longer walks. My community has lots of woodsy areas to explore. I also enjoy taking pups to public dog parks in the area.

Availability
I am a stay-at-home mom so am available most of the day and have flexibility in my schedule. Your fur baby will rarely be left alone if at all. If I do have to step out I try to make it short. I have been lucky enough to make a lot of animal friends so my mom, who lives with me, also helps me during boardings and daycare, especially when I'm out of the house visiting with one of my other animal friends. She also has experience with taking care of dogs and cats and has a lot of energy and love to give.
