Pet care experience

I already love your pet!

While I have no formal pet care experience, I have always owned dogs and cats. I also have experience caring for friends pets and am currently volunteering at a shelter helping with puppy socialization. I have a special place in my heart for senior dog care as my own dog required a high level of care and companionship in his last few years. I am also comfortable and knowledgeable about caring for cats with feline diabetes and am comfortable administering oral and subcutaneous medications.

Marella did a great job with our elderly cat, Max. And her daily reports and photos were reassuring to us. He obviously liked her. We’ll definitely use Marella’s services again.

Marella is VERY reliable and gives my dog frankie all of the attention and walks to get her through my work days. I appreciate Marella and her willingness to go above and beyond for the pets she cares for.

Marella is so easy to work with, and truly cares for my pets. She was careful to complete all of my visit requests, and took her time to give each of them some quality time and lots of attention and love.

Marella is amazing with my animals. I have 2 dogs and 7 cats, and I feel at peace whenever Marella is taking care of them. She enjoys taking my dogs on walks/hikes and she takes time to show affection to each cat. She was able to establish a great connection with each of my pets. She is always reliable, professional, and kind during our interactions. Very grateful I found her!

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I understand the difficulty and hesitation of hiring a stranger to care for your furry family members. Know that I will care for and love your pets like they are my own. I will approach your unique pet care situation with patience and understanding and will treat each pet with kindness, compassion and love.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy being outside no matter the weather! I will make sure your dog gets plenty of time outside as well. I also enjoy providing enrichment activities and giving lots of pets!

I would love to meet with your family to discuss your pets specific needs and your expectations regarding care for your loved one. I am open to caring for all pets - no matter the level of care.
