Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pets' happiness is my business
-I'm not currently available for reoccurring daily walks or visits unless you live off of Lorton Station 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 a parakeet, Chinese water dragon, guinea pigs, and a cat. If your pet isn't used to being around these types of animals no worries because my pets are used to it and we'll work on getting your pet comfortable. My cat also has his own area in case we need to keep things separate. I have boarded dogs for years, the longest time being around 3 weeks. I have also walked dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have boarded and catsat on many occasions. Once I catsat for a woman who had 13 cats, because she fostered 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.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Marcela has consistently been a great catsitter for us for years. Reliable, good communication, cats always seem calm and happy when we return home.
Marcela was dedicated to doing a good job with my cats. She went out of her way to feed them and accept her. Marcela followed directions and made sure my kitties were safe and happy.
Marcela is the best kitty watcher around. She is very nice to my kitties and they just love her when she comes around to visit. I would highly recommend her for watching your kitties.
Just awesome!! I would use Marcela again. My dog had a great time
Thank you again!
As always Marcella goes above and beyond for our senior pup. He’s getting older and has been struggling with different foods. Marcella cooked him different foods just to make him comfortable. It’s hard having senior dogs but knowing he’s being cared for so we don’t worry is a blessing! Thank you so much Marcella!

Schedule
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 through the years 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 is also the one who does house sitting. She has experience with taking care of dogs and cats and has a lot of energy and love to give.

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.
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.
