Mariceli took care of my dog for a week while I was gone. When I came back my dog was very happy and excited. You can put your trust in her. She has lots of patience and love for this. If you're looking for somebody to take care of your fur baby, Mariceli is the one!

I have known Mariceli for as long as I can remember. She is someone who is reliable, caring, and has a very funny personality. Towards the end of October of 2015, I had to go to North Carolina with my family, but we were really stressed out because we didn’t know who was gonna take care of our little dog. Brownie is a five year old shih tzu and being the lap dog that he is, he is very spoiled. We take him out on walks in the morning so that he can go potty, and we feed him with a fork to his mouth like a baby because he has a strange phobia of bowls. It’s kind of a hassle for someone who has work and other priorities in the way. Every person we asked was either too busy or had plans to be out of town. I then called Mariceli and told her my situation and asked her if she would be willing to take care of Brownie. I knew that she had a love for animals and she told me that she would be more than happy to. She didn’t mind the extra pampering that brownie needed either. So I took Brownie to her house, left her with a few toys and his favorite food, and showed her how to feed him and everything. My family and I were gone for only a few days, but I had asked Mariceli if she could keep me updated on Brownie and how he was adjusting to his new environment. She would text me and send me pictures and her doing so made me feel more at ease. I knew Brownie was in very good hands. On the 31st of October, Mariceli and I had been texting each other as usual, but when the sun was going down she told me that she had bought a Halloween costume for Brownie. She mentioned that she was going to dress him up and take him with her family while they went trick or treating. I thought it was the cutest idea and I didn’t mind at all because Brownie loves walks and loves to see new people. After I came back from North Carolina, I went to pick up Brownie the next day. I was so happy to finally have him back, but it turns out he adapted so well and he liked Mariceli so much that he didn’t even want to come home! He sniffed me for a little while and then came into my arms and I thanked Mariceli for taking good care of Brownie. I know that if there is ever a time in the future where I need someone to look after him, I can count on her. -Olivia L
