I grew up in a professional dogs kennel! 🤗
Pet care experience
Hi, my mum is a professional dogs breeder so all I have done in life was looking after them, grooming, walking and dog shows. My boyfriend Sandro and I travel a lot and tend to change places of living. Hence, why we are not ready to be pet owners ourselves yet. We also love cats and and try looking after them every time we spend our summers in Greece. Now, I'm working from home so wouldn't mind a bit of companion, reason to walk and a side income 😉 We look after our neighbours' dogs. Walk them and drop off at theirs, keep for a daytime or have overnight.
Reviews
Excellent care and is a lover of dogs
What a lovely couple! Marcelina and Sandro are so kind, caring and welcoming, not to mention knowledgeable. They loved and cared for Milo so well and sent me lovely photos of him relaxing in their apartment as well as out walking in the park. Milo is an older chap, is usually alone with me, thus is a little reticent around other people, but I would have no hesitation in leaving him with Marcelina (and Sandro) again and recommend them unreservedly to look after your four-legged friend. You won't regret it!
Marcelina is a fantastic carer and walker for our blind dog Dylan! We can always trust that he's in safe hands and will have a lovely time when she's looking after him. Marcelina has loads of experience from growing up around dogs and seems to be super confident with any breed or size of dog. I'd highly recommend Marcelina for dog walking and/or caretaking.
Marcelina has looked after my dog Blue many times as she lives close by so it's really convenient. I am very confident in her ability to care for dogs even when they can be a little dog-aggressive occasionally (like Blue). She is a sensible and trustworthy individual, communicates well, and is very approachable. I think her kind nature shows in her considerate and calm attitude towards the dogs I've seen her care for, although this doesn't mean that she can't set boundaries for dogs when needed . Marcelina knows lots of the dogs locally and so is able to meet other dog owners and socialise Blue with them whilst she is looking after him, which feels like an added bonus! Would highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment
Once your pet is at ours, they would be treated like ours. We let them be on the sofa and bed. The apartment isn't big but there's plenty of space to stretch their legs or lie down. We live on the first floor and have an elevator. Right Infront of the building, there's a nice park with lots of space to play. Our treatment of the pet would be always based on the needs of the individual and the recommendations and requests of the owner. We love playing with active dogs but can also respect the boundaries of more timid or older dogs.

Information Marcelina K. would like to know about your pet
Please make sure to let me know all the important information about the needs, behaviour and wellbeing of your pet beforehand. The first encounters may be especially crucial and the fastest way to make a bond with a dog or a cat is to know their basic dos and don'ts.
A typical day
Depending on the dogs abilities and needs, my day with them may differ greatly. Mostly, it would be staying with me at home while I work and going out to the park every couple hoursw. However, if the weather is nice and I happen to have less work to do, I don't mind long walks outside, running or playing out in the air.

Availability
My schedule varies and changes a lot on daily basis. Best to speak to me directly to find out what my availability is for a particular day or week. I work from 2 to 6 hours a day in 1-3 hrs blocks. Every now and then I get breaks when I'm free to take the dog down to the park which is just across my apartment.
