Marcelina really rolled out the red carpet for our dog. She is a wonderful, caring person who loved to take our pup to the park, yoga or just a stroll around the neighborhood. Lots of pictures and great communication. I would highly recommend her!

Marcelina was very prompt and took great care of my dogs on their walk. It’s a relief knowing I have someone I can count on to walk my dogs when I am gone for the day.

I was in need of a last minute dog sitter because I was going out of town -- I read Marcelina's profile and felt she would be a good fit, I messaged her and got a reply almost instantly! We did a meet and greet prior to her sitting my 2 dogs, and all I can say is WOW-- she was perfect! Marcelina is warm, loving, intentional and overall a wonderful person. My dogs took a liking to her immediately. I felt no worries leaving town, I knew they were in good hands. During my leave, she updated me with photos and videos of their adventures-- she of course spoiled them with a good time :) I will be using Marcelina in the future. I cannot recommend her enough if you need someone to care for your animals.

Marcelona was so kind, patient, and thoughtful with my German Shepherd — and that’s saying a lot because he’s full of fur and personality! From the very first message, her communication was fantastic. She kept me updated with pictures, little notes, and videos that showed how happy and relaxed he was the whole time. It’s so clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. She treated him like her own, and he absolutely adored her. Coming home, he was happy, calm, and clearly well-loved. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you for giving me total peace of mind and taking such wonderful care of my boy. We’ll definitely be booking again! 🐾💛

Schedule

I am professional who mainly works from home on my own schedule I miss having a furry friend around. Because I occasionally travel I didn’t get the courage to gat a pet. I’m still in the process of getting used to with the idea of expanding our family some day :) For now I would love to share the love hugs and kisses with your furry best friend 🥰🐾

Safety, trust & environment

I have a medium size back yard that’s fenced in and live in a neighborhood filled with dog lovers :) The area is a vary safe community with no through traffic but a lot of dog parents walking :) Maybe you’re the one who would like me to help you care for you’r pet child :)

A typical day

Morning - Love, Kisses, Hugs, Cuddles - Morning jog with me :) - Freshly cooked Breakfast or kibble ( depending on requirements) Afternoon - Love, Kisses, Hugs, Cuddles - Walk around the neighborhood Evening - Love, Kisses, Hugs, Cuddles -Cooked Meal/ Diner or kibble - Neighborhood walk Night - Love, Kisses, Hugs, Cuddles 😋 - sometimes the last walk right before bed time ( depending on the “request” *Potty Breaks on demand :) ** Backyard access at all times I also love taking “my” pups anywhere I go. Of course it depends on their safety, health, age, character / personality and willingness to join the activities. Based on all those factors I added and love when they join me for anything I do, like: - going to the park for some yoga - taking them to a store ( more like Home Depot or stores that allow dogs) - taking them with me to a friend’s house ( if they are friendly with other dogs ( if there are any)) - taking them for walks ( “play dates” ) with other dogs if I have to walk someone's pup ! :) - I do an hour trainings on Thursdays at my Real Estate office and sometimes I even take them to my office! if I see the dog likes to be out and around people - occasionally I take them to the beach ( most of the dogs loooooove the beach!) The mentioned above activities are just samples / ideas of how I spend time with them. But these are rather occasional and as short/ long as they can indicate. There is a lot of rest and down time as well - everything catered for their personal needs. In general I try to give the dogs the most fun I can provide so they can be stimulated and enjoy the stay with me but also give them plenty of rest time based on their personality and needs. But no matter where I take them I assess first if that’s something they would enjoy and for some specific activities I consult the parent to make sure that’s ok. Also, as a Heath & Wellness Professional I love cooking fresh healthy all organic meals !!! - it’s an imbedded impulse to feed them healthy as well as my love language 🥰 All the activities and food prep I love to share on IG where you can follow / watch on stories at ny.ElitePawRetreat ! 😊 I love all animals and caring for ( most of) them ( snakes and spiders I keep it at least at arms length 😅) and the pups that I care for keep coming back each time with waggy tails, wet kisses and literally smiles ! which is the best and truest feedback I can get 🥹 It just makes my heart melt when I see them happy with me 🫠 So if you would like to see that - give it a try and I’ll be so happy to care for your furry child 🥰
