Pet care experience

My passion for dogs started when I was young with our family’s dog. I am an experienced dog sitter but Im new to this rover. Mostly I take care of my family and friends dog when they are going to a vacation. I am comfortable taking care of small dogs like chihuahua, shitzu, pomeranian, pug etc. I have a lot of patience and love for animals. Also, have experience in taking care of multiple dogs at home. I am trustworthy and reliable. I’ll do my best to get the experience that you wanted for your baby while your away.

I highly recommend Maricel for anyone looking for a loving family environment. She hosted my 6-year-old furbaby , Mishti, for six nights and provided exceptional care. Mishti was fully integrated into their family life, from holiday celebrations to daily walks and dog socialization. Maricel was great about communicating through photos and videos, and I especially appreciated how the family gently reinforced good manners when she begged for food. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in such capable and caring hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better holiday home for her!
