Dog training

“Marcela is an amazing trainer. She is knowledgeable and has a lot of experience. Our dog loved her and she helped us tremendously in learning how to train our puppy and getting him under control”- Susy, Buddy’s mom, 5-month old English Bulldog puppy

“Marcela is incredibly nice and you can see her love for animals in the way she treats them. She was always incredibly sweet to my dog Andy, a bully-mix, and she really had a way of getting Andy to behave and to listen to her. Marcela was working with Andy and I in training and the lessons she learned have helped Andy become such an obedient dog. I definitely recommend Marcela for all your animal needs.”- Cristina P, Andy’s mom, 1-year old female Bully-mix

“Marcela provided wonderful foundational training for our puppy and nervous first-time dog parents. She is extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior and strategies for raising a well-behaved dog.”- Jennifer Z. Megs’s mom, 3-month old Golden doodle 

“Marcela is a remarkable volunteer and handler of all dogs at Miami-Dade Animal Services. She has a special gift, the dogs seem to love her and she is amazing at determining their temperament. Her knowledge and skill have earned the trust of many. When she posts something about a dog I pay attention because I know I can trust every word she says. She is wonderful and generous with her time and is an invaluable asset to rescue and adopters.” -Gail S., Dog owner and rescue networker

“I really cannot put into words what Marcela’s attention to my Border Collie means to me. Just to be able to relax knowing she was taking care of him like he was her own was priceless. She absolutely does what you instruct with impeccable adherence to a schedule, she is mature enough not to get ruffled by any unexpected changes and I have no doubt could rise to any challenge placed before her. Marcela is a certified trainer who is capable of dealing with behavior issues, making suggestions for corrections and returning to train your dog. I would recommend Marcela without hesitation and give her 10 stars.”- Terry S, Sherlock’s mom, 7-year old male Border Collie

“I cannot say enough about Marcela’s abilities. She is a volunteer at the Miami-Dade animal shelter and has helped many dogs get adopted or rescued. Marcela has an ability to “read” dogs and takes beautiful pictures and videos of the many dogs that need networking. She also has helped pull & transport many dogs to their destination. I know Marcela personally , she is a responsible and loving animal lover and I would trust her completely with any of my animals.”- Myra K, dog owner and  rescue networker

“I can’t say enough about Marcela! She is outstanding with dogs! Marcela is caring, loving, responsible and very experienced with dogs. Marcela volunteers her time at MDAS to care for the stray , owner surrender, lost and  dogs, she is one of the best volunteers, even providing toys, treats and blankets on her own. She conducts playgroups and provides videos, pictures and is able to share her own accurate assessments on the dogs. Marcela also volunteers to transport dogs to aid may FLorida rescues get dogs out of the shelter. Marcela is also a wonderful artist and fundraises to help dogs in need. I would trust Marcela 100% with my own dogs. Her ability and experience working and caring for dogs including her own is unmatched. I highly recommend Marcela.”- Barbara M, dog owner and rescue liaison. 

Petsitting

“Maria is an amazing sitter! She took great care of our pup while we were away; would highly recommend her. She is very accommodating, and made sure to provide us with with daily videos/pictures of or pup.”- Briana P., Bucky’s dog mom.

”Maria Eugenia is evidently very passionate about animals, and she will not only take care of your baby, but will deeply love him/her too like her own. This was my first time leaving my 6 month old kitten and I was very nervous. Maria put me at ease by allowing us to visit her home with Chai before booking. After watching Chai comfortably exploring Maria’s house, and after speaking to Maria at length, we knew we found someone great for Chai. Maria sent pictures and videos daily. It was such a relief to get off the flight and find videos/pictures waiting for me. Like a mother hen I would ask Maria about how she was doing, whether she was eating, and Maria was always happy and quick to respond. I highly recommend Maria. I will definitely use her for cat sitting my kitten again.”- Vidhi B., Chai’s cat mom.

“Maria Eugenia is an AMAZING sitter ! She was so kind, easy to communicate with, and kept us flooded with photos and videos of our sweet pup while we were away! I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her for the weekend and would 100% recommend her to anyone!! Thank you, Maria !!”- Natasha C., Stella Marie’s dog mom

“Hudson is my first puppy and this was my first time leaving him and Maria was amazing! Her communication was great during the whole process. We did a meet and greet and I left feeling comfortable. I saw that she truly loves dogs and Hudson would be in good care. She sent pictures and videos daily and it was clear that Hudson was having fun! He really liked Maria! Would highly recommend her because she showed genuine care and affection with my Hudson. Thank you Maria.”- Erika S., Hudson’s dog mom

“Maria Eugenia was very professional and super nice. She responded to my initial message within 10 minutes, and was very easy to stay in contact with. My dogs took a liking to her immediately and I could tell by the pictures that the dogs were completely comfortable with her while we were gone. Also, Maria took some magazine cover glam shots of my dogs which I love. I still haven’t been able to take that good a picture of them! I highly recommend her services.”- Jessica C., Zoe’s and Daisy’s dog mom

“I am very pleased with the way Maria Eugenia cared for my dogs during their stay. She stayed in constant contact to assure me that the dogs were doing well. Maria followed all the instructions I provided and gave them excellent care and love. She is an animal advocate and has a beautiful rescue dog of her own. Maria has a flexible schedule so dropping off and picking up was very easy. I would highly recommend her.”- Katherine K., Bruno’s and Britta’s dog mom
