Pet care experience

Active, healthy, fun loving care

Hi there! We are Marcus and Gina and we are the ultimate dog lovers. We live in Sonoma and enjoy taking advantage of our beatiful contryside and parks. Our home also offers indoor/outdoor space to sprawl out when he/she is worn out. We have 2 children who love dogs and have took ownership on how to take good care of our furry friends. The adults will always be present and responsible, but we do like that our kids have an opportunity to interact with more animals. We do have a dog of our own. He is a well-behaved, 20lb terrier mix that loves to snuggle and relax after a long walk and play! He gets along with pretty much every dog. We have been sitting friends and family's dogs for many years which led us to trying out rover when living in the Bay Area. We're looking to make this more established in Sonoma since we both work from home and could use the breaks in the day... We also think this would be a great business for our family and kids. Look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 16, 2026

Gina and Marcus were very accommodating, were flexible with our last minute request and took great care of our dog. It was our first time using the service and they walked us through it like seasoned pros.

First timer on rover and Gina was the perfect first time sitter! We did overnight boarding and I know my baby was in good hands. Definitely 100% would use this family again and highly recommend.

Our pup Enzo had a marvelous time being entertained by Gina and Marcus's family! I think it was a perfect matching for a high energy puppy with their ever active family. He returned a bigger, and happier puppy! Gina and Marcus are highly recommended for any type of dog. Thanks ever so much!

Gina and Marcus were great! We had a 10+ day vacation planned and boarding with our usual large dog kennel. Two days before our flight the kennel advised that they were having an outbreak of an as yet unknown virus but we could still bring our dog. No thank you! Gina and Marcus came to our rescue on short notice and were fabulous! Their kids loved our Prince Harry, also known as Harry. Gina sent photos and feedback. Nothing but good things to say about them.

Schedule

We both work from home and ahve a young family. We feel pet sitting and helping other families in our community offers a variety of benefits for us. First, it offers a break in the day from starring at our computers. Second, offers our children opportunities to interact with other animals. Finally, get to know others in town who love their pets
