Dog lover with fenced in yard

Pet care experience

I am a teacher who loves dogs. I love being around animals especially dogs. I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have a westie who is 11 years old. He loves to have playmates around. I live in a house with a fenced in yard that the dogs would live to play in. I also live in an area great for dog walking. I hope that I can help with your dog sitting needs. I require our dogs meet prior to stay to make sure they get along! About this sitter: I am a teacher at a local school, with early work hours. I live getting out of work and going for a long walk with my pup. He loves other dogs and would love to have some more friends around! Why I love dog sitting My whole life. As long as I can remember my family had dogs. We had cocker spaniels my entire childhood. When I graduated from college I got myself a westie. He is amazing! About my yard I have a medium sized yard on a regular sized lot in Albany. My yard is fenced in and accessible to dogs.

Absolutely wonderful. Marcella is very sweet and kind. She was able to take our dog at last minute. We only had her for a few hours but that’s all we needed. This was a godsend!
