A home full of belly rubs (and a few nose boops too)

Hi, I’m Marcelina, a student currently offering dog boarding over the summer from my cozy three-bedroom apartment. I’m in a lovely, green area with several parks nearby—including Rouken Glen—perfect for daily walks and outdoor play. Whether your dog is staying for a weekend or a longer holiday, they’ll enjoy a calm, homey environment where they can relax, have fun, and get all the love and attention they need.

I’ve gained experience through both Pawshake and private clients, working with everything from bouncy young dogs to sweet, slower-paced seniors. I’m happy to accommodate higher-maintenance pups, and as long as your dog is cat-friendly (for longer stays), they’re more than welcome. I can also welcome cats into my home and can set up a dedicated bedroom so they have plenty of space to feel safe, calm, and comfortable.

Most of all, I genuinely love being around animals—the cuddles, the companionship, the long walks. I also know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I keep owners updated regularly with photos and little notes, making it feel like your pet is right there with you wherever you are.

Because this isn't just boarding - it's family, and your pup becomes part of mine.

Interested? Drop me a message - I'm happy to answer any questions and can't wait to welcome your furry one!
