I’m a natural Dog Dad!
Pet care experience
Hello, My name is Marcelo & I’m a music producer & engineer out of The Los Angeles Recording School in Hollywood, CA. I recently just moved back from LA to northern Virginia summer of 2018. I love our fluffy friends as I’m a father of a 4 year old Italian greyhound. As an established dog walker, I absolutely love this job. My experience comes from years of working at a veterinary clinic that also boarded dogs & cats with many aspects of pet care ranging from medicine application to dog walking. This, I have always had a passion for dogs & animals in general specially when it comes to pet-care. I look forward to taking care of your loving family member like my own- with respect, patience love & all the attention they need!
Reviews
Marcelo is extremely kind to my dear Romeo. He makes sure Romeo is fed on time, has multiple walks throughout the day, and helped apply medication to Romeo's infection. Marcelo is always on time and is big on communication, so if he is late, he will let you know. I love when people treat other dog’s as their own, so if you’re looking for someone to do the same, Marcelo is the right person for you!
Marcelo is a grounded, humble responsible young man. This is not a job for him. It's a way for him to connect with animals and further his spiritual journey. He will treat your pets like family.

The apartment is completely set up for the pups. I have huge aspirations to acquire a two-story home within this year to dedicate even more space and more fun backyard activities for our beloved pups!

Information Marcelo A. would like to know about your pet
Please communicate with me ahead of time if your pups have any special needs, if your pup needs any kind of special attention, any allergies & of course any triggers for us to keep your pups happy & healthy!
A typical day
We start the day, everyday, with a long 60-75 minutes hike! We have a wonderful park behind our neighborhood with a waterfront trail. This, the pups get a great dose of exercise, fresh air and freedom to start our days right! We follow up with coconut water for hydration and electrolytes, a yummy & healthy salmon snack followed by nap time after the pups get ALL their energy out :) We then follow up with play time throughout the day, a second walk & treat to keep the pups refreshed in the afternoon. In the evening, we finish with a solid walk, dinner if the owner requests they are fed before they return and a full day complete of fun! Woohoo!
