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 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.

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.

Your pets' happiness is my business
Pet care experience
-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.
Reviews
Marcela was great with our boys! She is a great communicator and made us feel at ease while we were gone.
Marcela fast became our favorite sitter. Her love of animals is evident as soon as you meet her. She took amazing care of my two cats. She was professional, knowledgeable and caring. Immediately I had total confidence that my kitties would be well looked after. I was able to enjoy my vacation with no stress. I will be reaching out to Marcela in the future for all my cat sitter needs. Thank you Marcela, we appreciate you!
Marcela is so patient with our anxious dog. We feel safe leaving Jack with her. She gives daily updates and helps him to socialize with the other dogs. Marcela is truly wonderful.
Marcela has consistently been a great catsitter for us for years. Reliable, good communication, cats always seem calm and happy when we return home.
