✌️TWO SITTERS FOR THE PRICE OF 1!🐶

Pet care experience

Hello 👋, my name is Marcella and I am excited for the opportunity to spend time with your dog! I had 3 boxers growing up which is where my love❤️ for dogs began. I have completed numerous sitting experiences ranging from 1-3 dogs in all shapes and sizes. During those visits, I have been responsible for walking🚶‍♀️, giving medication, feeding, crating and playing with the pups. When my best friend Stephanie and I moved in together one thing we agreed upon is that we are going to board dogs. We think it is a fun way to get to know various breeds and inspire us to stay active 💪! I am a teacher👩‍🏫 so I am available weeknights after 5 and on weekends. We both head out to work at 7am, during which we turn on our “dog tv channel” and keep an eye on them using our puppy cam until I return around 5pm. Throughout the evenings and weekends your pup will have love and attention for all hours we are home! Between the two of us we provide a morning walk before leaving for work and two walks are provided post work and again before bed. We like to joke that our third roommate is whichever dog🐕 we are watching at the time, because when you leave your dog with us, we know you’re leaving us with a member of your family. In our apartment, we treat them like family too.

Marcella and Stephanie were amazing dog sitters while I was on vacation abroad. They coordinated with my other sitter picking up my dog, and also took him to the vet and constantly updated me when he got sick! I would highly highly recommend Marcella to anyone who is looking for a trusting dog sitter.

Literally the best sitters I have ever used. Extremely flexible on timing, super nice (even wrote me a thank-you card with a Polaroid photo of Goose), Goose came back tired, and everything was extremely positive. Could not recommend more. I'd give them a 12 of 10 and I don't usually write glowing feedback.

I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know for the first time but Marcella and Stephanie were super reassuring. They sent me pictures of Finn throughout his stay and I had no anxiety while I was on vacation. Also very flexible on drop-off/pickup times after our flight home was delayed. Highly recommend!

Marcella & Stephanie went above & beyond to care for Zoe! I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again!

A typical day

We are a 5 minute walk from Morningside Park and a 15 minute walk from Central Park. This is where we would walk, play and hang out with your pup. We enjoy playing fetch or frisbee and meeting other pups. At home, we would enjoy doggie yoga and a lot of snuggling on the couch. We like making homemade dog-friendly peanut butter pops!
