Information Marcela R. would like to know about your pet

I’m flexible and happy to adapt to your pet’s specific needs. Please share any information about their likes, dislikes, routines, and health concerns so I can provide the best care possible. Whether it’s dietary restrictions, favorite toys, or special instructions, I’ll make sure to follow them to the letter.

A typical day

A typical day with your pet starts with ensuring their basic needs are met: fresh food, clean water and a tidy space. For cats, this includes maintaining their litter box and engaging them with their favorite toys or cozy cuddles, depending on their mood. For dogs, I offer fun walks tailored to their energy levels and plenty of interactive playtime to keep them stimulated. If your pet prefers quieter environment, I’m happy to simply sit by their side, providing the comfort and presence they need. My goal is to ensure they feel happy, safe and loved throughout the day.

Pet care experience

🐾 £15 off your first booking on Rover with code: MARCER70526 🐾 Hi there! My name is Marcela and I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by pets (three cats and two dogs) I learned from an early age how to care for and love animals of all kinds. Before moving to the UK, I volunteered with a local animal charity, helping lost and stray cats reconnect with their families. This experience gave me valuable skills in handling animals with care and compassion, even in stressful situations. Since settling in the UK, I’ve dedicated myself to providing professional pet care services. I’m certified in Feline Behaviour & Psychology, Pet Sitting & Dog Walking, and Pet First Aid and CPR, giving me the skills to handle a variety of situations with professionalism and compassion. What sets me apart is my ability to connect with animals on an emotional level, understanding their unique needs and personalities. Whether it’s administering medication, engaging them in stimulating playtime or providing a calm presence for more reserved pets, I tailor my care to suit your pet’s individual preferences.

Rafa is a very nervous cat and Marcela was very gentle and patient with him. I felt very relaxed that he was in good care while I was away.
