About Marcela

Experience: 1 yr

I've been dog and cat sitting for my neighbors when they go out or on vacation, and caring for their animals is the most precious use of my time. I adore cats and dogs. I recently adopted two 4-year-old cats and live with a 1-year-old dog we're currently training. I used to have two parakeets that later became eight, which we rehomed after getting cats. I plan to adopt a rabbit soon, as I've cared for them before and understand their needs, including potty training. I'm most experienced with birds. I can train them, gain their trust, bond with them, and tell when they're sick. I once rushed my parakeet to an exotic pet ER to get her oxygen during a cold. I've also cared for baby birds and am open to caring for any kind. Birds are truly wonderful. I'm also strongly against animal cruelty and have deep compassion for all animals.
