About Marcela

ABOUT ME
I have been working as an environmental engineer since 2012, and I moved to Canada in 2022. In my first month here, I started working with a well-known local dog walking company, where I built a strong foundation in safe, attentive, and reliable pet care. I’ve wanted to work with dogs since I was 8, and growing up with large-breed dogs taught me loyalty, kindness, and the importance of protecting those we care for. Five months later, my environmental engineering background brought me back to the corporate world. 

After experiencing the demands of corporate life again, I chose to dedicate more time to what brings me closer to God, things that naturally give me joy, balance, and purpose. One of these things is being close to nature and animals. I believe we are here on this planet to grow as humans and to help animals thrive as well. At the same time, I truly feel that animals often help us grow just as much (if not more) than we help them

Building a bond, watching it grow, and seeing a dog (and owners) trust and rely on you more with each walk is something I deeply value. Every walk is an opportunity to support their happiness while also making life a little lighter for all of us.

MY APPROACH

  • Safety is a value (not a priority, because priority changes, values don't). I want to keep your dog and myself safe at all times, so ensuring our safety is always the mindset on our walks.
  • Before our first walk, I will schedule a Meet&Greet to understand your expectations and your dog's personality/behaviour, ensuring we both myself and your dog are comfortable.
  • Each walk is guided by respect, well-being, and genuine attention, with plenty of fun and exercise. I am naturally very active and energetic.

MY SERVICES

  • I offer Dog Walking Services (solo walks or semi-private walks [your dog + another dog]). The only exception is if you have multiple dogs and would like them walked together (max of 3 dogs).
    - Leash at all times
    - Walks take place in parks (whenever possible) so dogs can enjoy nature
    - After each walk, you can expect to receive a short report (pee/poop, behavior notes) with a few photos of our walk
    - For safety reasons, I do not offer off leash walks or dog park visits
    - I follow instructions carefully, so feel free to share any specific needs or routines 🙂
  • I offer Home Visits (as many times per day as needed). This service includes:
    - Feeding and fresh water
    - Checking the crate (and cleaning it if necessary)
    - Refreshing/changing potty pads
    - Play-time (a regular walk can also be added)
