About: For years, I've cared for my fair share of quirky pups and kittens, anxious fellows and picky eaters. I love to learn their ways and help them find some comfort while you're not around. And I'll always take care of your pet, home, and property like my own. I'm on Rover to give your pet all the love that was left over after my last pup passed. Whether at your place or mine I will follow your routine to a tee. If it's a spoon and 3/5 of heart medication, I'll measure it! If it's walking backwards facing east we're rolling with it! And I'll be sure to send you pics of all the cute moments you're missing! Let's set up the meet and greet, I can't wait to meet your furry friend. Thanks for trusting me with them! I work from home so I can give your pet as much attention as they need and plenty of activity and TLC on weekdays and weekends! I live in a pet friendly building and all my plants are pet friendly too. Ill make sure to make them comfortable in their own little space.

About: I’ve lovingly cared for both dogs and cats, even in emergencies, ensuring their comfort and well-being. Growing up around both dogs and cats taught me responsibility and attentiveness. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors and I treat every animal like family, providing personalized, dependsble care every time. Working remotely, my schedule is flexible to accommodate drop in visits multiple times a day. I am also available to house sit while dog sitting, keeping your pet company in the evenings. I am also available on weekends as well. I am happy to stay overnight to watch your pet if needed as well as do multiple drop-in visits! I follow direction and am extremely responsible, and can provide whatever care you feel is necessary for your pet.

“My work occasionally requires me to take day trips to the Raleigh-Durham area. Whenever I travel, I hire Marcella. She consistently does a phenomenal job checking on my Bella, making sure her bowl is full and she’s been walked. Marcella is consistently gentle, patient, and attentive to her needs — and is incredibly communicative as a sitter, which I love! Every time I return, Bella looks happy, healthy, and *so* content.”
