Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable & Experienced Pet Care
I would treat customers' dogs like I would want mine to be treated and enjoy every minute of it! Only do Travel Sitting for dogs/pets I do not do boarding anymore!! Will grab mail, water plants or stay over if need be. I'm a 20 year veteran of banking and run my own office, so I know how important responsibility and my reputation is to ease people's minds, gain trust and do a great job to gain repeat and referral business. I currently have 4 dogs with my girlfriend and grew up with family dogs so I have been around them my whole life. I own and run my Pet Care Business, 4 Pooches Pet care for over 9 years now and have been voted Nextdoor ‘Neighborhood Favorite’ 5 Years in a row. I have worked on several fund raising campaigns for Washington Animal Rescue League, belong to a Pug Meet-Up group in Rockville and have adopted through Mid-Atlantic Pug Rescue, where I have occasionally done home inspections as part of their adoption process.

Ratings and reviews
Fantastic communication with me and was great with the pets. Kept me regularly updated each day and sent plenty of pictures of my dog during walks. Highly recommend!
Marc did a great job with our puppy! He scheduled a meet up the day before to meet her and get the lay of the land so the day of went flawlessly. Our puppy girl was very happy after her walk/play time :)
Marc was good with Lucy, and sent multiple pictures of her looking adorable. I would hire Marc again.
We have ultra high standards, Mark exceeds them. It's that simple.
Marc was terrific and, as an added bonus, he sent pictures of my dogs each day so I knew they were being well cared for.
This was my first time using Marc and my dog does not usually take to males. But after a few minutes of checking him out, Gigi was find with him! They took walks and Gigi even allowed Marc to give her a belly rub!
