Pet care experience

Reliable & Loving Dog Walker/sitter

Hi! I’m Marcella, a lifelong animal lover with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve fostered dogs since I was young and have experience with puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, and dogs with special needs. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether we’re going for walks, playing outside, or relaxing at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, love, and care I have a spacious home and yard where dogs can play, relax, and feel comfortable during their stay. My goal is to make your pet’s experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible while giving you peace of mind. I would love to learn about your pet’s routine, personality, favorite activities, and any special needs so I can provide the best care possible. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member!

Here’s a polished Rover review: She was wonderful! Very communicative throughout the stay, and our boy was so happy when we picked him up. He went on lots of adventures and was truly welcomed into her home. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such caring hands and would happily book with her again.

We had a wonderful experience with Marcella. She took excellent care of our senior Maltipoo, who has diabetes and Cushing’s and requires daily injections and medications. She handled everything confidently and responsibly, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She also tailored his walks to accommodate his physical issues and sent pics daily. Marcella truly cares about the little ones she looks after, and we will absolutely trust her again with ours.

Marcella was wonderful and she took good care of my pup while I was away for a long weekend. She was communicative and flexible and a pleasure to work with. Would definitely recommend her and will use her again!

Marcella is a STAR!! 🌟 Our flights have been delayed 2+ days due to a snowstorm. She’s agreed to keep Gwen with her as long as it takes for us to get home—obviously going above and beyond. She’s sent us great pics and is taking great care of our pup. 10/10 would recommend. Thanks, Marcella! 💕

We had a very last minute request for someone to watch our dog and Marcella was able to make it work. Marcella was quick to communicate, friendly and did a great job with Murphy. We received plenty of pics and videos which made us feel very comfortable. I look forward to working with Marcella again!

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I care for starts with plenty of love and attention. For dogs, we’ll enjoy walks tailored to their energy level, whether it’s a leisurely stroll or an energetic adventure. Playtime follows, featuring their favorite toys and games to keep them active and engaged. I ensure they have fresh water, meals, and any necessary medications. For cats, I offer play sessions with toys like feather wands or laser pointers, as well as plenty of cozy time for snuggles (if they’re in the mood!). I clean litter boxes, refresh food and water, and respect their individual preferences—whether they want companionship or a bit of space. Above all, I create a safe, loving environment to keep pets happy and stress-free while their families are away.

I would love to know if pets have any special needs or if pet parents have any requests. I can also give any medications needed.
