Even though I have a full-time job, I make sure my calendar is always accurate so I can give each pet my full attention. I plan my schedule carefully to provide consistent, loving care, making sure every dog or cat I look after feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Spending time with pets is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority to fit their needs seamlessly into my routine

Safety, trust & environment

I love caring for pets in their own home, where they feel safe and comfortable. I have two cats myself, so I understand how some pets can be cautious around new visitors. I provide attentive care, including feeding, playtime, and dog walks, while respecting each pet’s routines and space. Visiting pets in their familiar environment helps them feel secure and happy.

Information Marcelina D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know a pet’s daily routine and feeding schedule, as well as their personality, behavior with people and other animals, and any triggers or anxieties. Please also share leash manners, house rules, and any safety details such as escape tendencies, special care instructions, or emergency vet information. Any information that helps me care for your fur baby in the best way possible is greatly appreciated.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on long walks or even a run if they’re up for it, making sure every activity matches their personality and energy level whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, belly rubs or just relaxing and soaking up some sun. For cats, I enjoy interactive play, gentle petting, and finding ways to engage them that make them feel happy and comfortable. I pay close attention to what each pet enjoys and love learning their habits and quirks, so every visit whether with dogs, cats, or other pets is fun, safe, and full of care.

Pet care experience

I provide reliable care for each pet in the comfort of their own home. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, including puppies who need training and gentle guidance as well as senior pets who need extra patience. With prior experience as a kennel technician at an animal hospital and volunteering at the Houston SPCA, I adjust to each pet’s needs and focus on keeping their daily routine consistent including walks, meals, and playtimes. So pets feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away.

Marcelina was amazing! She sent tons of pictures and eased my anxiety about leaving my dog and cat alone. She was great with my dog who has major separation anxiety. My house was in the same condition I left it when we got back. Will definitely be booking again!

Marcelina is an excellent and sweet petsitter who is very attentive to details and very communicative towards pet owners. She took care of my cat, Nydia (who is very picky) and I could tell that Nydia loved her from the start. I am very happy with Marcelina's services, recommend her 1000% (yes, one thousand percent) and will definitely re-book to take care of my chonky cat!
