Pet care experience
Hi! I am here simply because I love dogs, and I wanted to earn some money for my school expenses. My first experience with dogs was when I first came back to the US, and my family had a lovely chihuahua named Olga. She was sweet, kind, patient and calm, she was already perfect, so I never really got any experience with handling, or dealing with naughty dogs. There was another do, Ginger, and she’s total goofball, our source of laughter. The years living with them made me realize how much I loved dogs, and how much I needed them in my life. A few years after I got my first puppy, a GSD (DDR) named Leona, I got her when she was 8 weeks old, and we lived together until she was 2. Although she was a handful for a first time dog owner, I loved her wholeheartedly and trained her to do many tricks, and she has become more mature and calm through the training. Unfortunately, we had to send her to a new home due to we were moving, and the new house didn’t allow pets. I really missed the days where I could just go to a dog and hug them, cuddle with them, and leave all my worries and sadness behind. I love all kinds of dogs. Everytime I see a dog on the street, I get excited and can’t help but smile. I’ve always wanted to be a dog sitter, ever since I could remember, but I never took the act. Now that I’m homeschooled, I have plenty of time on my schedule. Please consider me when you are in need for help taking care of your dog, and I will do my best to serve you!
Reviews
As father of Marcia, I testify that she is very passionate on dogs. I bought her a German Shepherd puppy a few years ago and she was very passionate on taking care of the dog, such as trying to get very nutritions dog foods, dog training, medical attention and care, etc. We had to get rid of the dog as we moved/rented at a new place where dogs are not allowed.
Marcia is a sweet person with a very soft and kind heart, and truly cares for others. She likes to keep the place clean and is very good at organizing things. She works hard to achieve her goals. She has a great passion for all sorts of animals. As her mother, I can guarantee that she will take good care of your pets.

Skills
Information Marcia S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if the dog has any preferences in treats, food, and favorite toys. Whether they are more active, or prefer to be indoors. How often they go potty. Things that they don’t like (i.e. my dog doesn’t like the vacuum cleaner). I don’t have any breed preferences.
A typical day
I usually would take them on walks/jogging in the neighborhood, or take them to a dog park if there are any nearby. I love to play frisbee and fetch, since that’s what I did the most with my GSD. Or I can try teaching them new tricks, or new commands.
