Pet care experience
Do you need a reliable and responsible person to take care of your furry friend? Look no further! To complement my passion as a bona fide animal person, my experience as a former Royal Marine with medical training sets me up with the perfect set of skills to provide exceptional care for your pet. Whether you need a dog walker, a pet sitter, or someone to administer basic medication, I am here to provide you with reliable and compassionate care for your furry friend. I understand that pets are not just animals but beloved family members, and I promise to treat your pet with the same level of respect and care that I give to my own. I know how to keep loved ones safe, thanks to my extensive experience in handling medical and security emergencies, and I can match the energy of even the most active pets. As an animal lover and a mindfulness advocate, I understand the importance of providing compassionate, attentive care to your furry friends. When I take your dog on a walk, or look after your cat or other pet, I'll make sure they are comfortable and safe throughout their experience with me. I'll always take the time to get to know your pet’s personality and preferences, so I can tailor their care or walk to their specific needs - whether your pup likes a brisk, energetic walk, or your senior likes to stop and sniff every tree. I adapt to each pet’s needs with kindness and empathy. When I'm in your home, I'll treat it with the same care and respect as if it were my own. I'll make sure to follow your instructions and guidelines to a tee, so your pet can feel comfortable and at ease.
Reviews
Animals are drawn to Marc's calm energy, as much as people are drawn to his humorous confidence. Knowing he both is a father and a pet dad reassures me about his ability to care for someone's family member, which is how I know he regards pets.

Information Marc B. would like to know about your pet
As a responsible pet owner, and now pet carer, I understand the importance of knowing all the necessities before starting with a new pet including medical conditions or health issues that they may have, such as allergies, medication requirements, or mobility issues. Knowing a pet’s routine is key, including their feeding and watering schedule, as well as any specific training or commands that they are accustomed to, extending consistency of their known care. Getting to know a dog's personality and behavior will help me understand their temperament, energy level, and any behavioral issues they may have, such as anxiety or aggression. This in turn guides me in providing a safe and enjoyable experience for the dog during their walk and care, preventing and managing any potential risks or challenges that may arise. The same goes for cats or senior pets, which is as much about the pet as it is about putting their family at ease.
A typical day
I love spending time with my furry clients and discovering fun things to do with them. One of my favorite activities is exploring local parks and nature trails, letting the dogs run off-leash and discover new sights and smells. I also enjoy playing fetch and other games that get the dogs moving and active, such as hide-and-seek or tug-of-war. On hot days, we might head to a nearby lake or river for a refreshing swim. And of course, there's always plenty of time for belly rubs, ear scratches, and cuddles. Whether it's a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood or an adventurous hike through the woods, spending time with dogs is always a joy and I feel lucky to have this as a job.
