If you love your dogs, do not book with Demarcius. It was a string of lies and neglect the whole time. When we met him, it seemed great. He was super friendly and personable. He was great with the dogs and they liked him too. He said he needed to work a couple days part time, which we said would be no problem, and the rest of the time he would be hanging out at the house with our dogs and playing Playstation. We left instructions how the dogs need to be let out around every 2 hours to potty and not to be crated for more than 4 hours. The first day my heart sank. We left at 5 AM, he didn't show up until 11 AM. Left by 1:30 and didn't show back up until 6:30 PM, stayed 30 minutes and didn't show back up til after midnight. I didn't confirm, but I'm certain the dogs were in the crates all night too. He barely walked them, barely played with them, and was never around. Our dogs were basically crated 24/7 when we had hired someone to actually stay WITH them and was told he WOULD stay with them. I have all the Ring footage to confirm the neglect. Each day it was a pattern of insane stretches of time where he was never around, popped in for a few minutes until returning around midnight/1AM. I almost cancelled our trip and flew back early as a result of his blatant disrespect for our pets. On the 2nd day we asked if they were crated all day, he said "No. And as we had discussed he was working part time Saturday/Sunday". Again, the hours he was absent NEVER equated to part time work, and even when it wasn't the weekend, he was still gone nearly all day. Our dogs tore their beds in their cages to shreds out of anxiety and separation. Do yourself a favor, for the love of your pets, AVOID him at all costs. He has no business caring for pets.

Demarcio was very responsive and left the house spotless.
