I love any and all dogs!

Pet care experience

I've been dog-sitting unofficially for probably about 10 years. I love doing it and I love hanging out with my friend's pets. I've actually never considered actually doing this for pay, but some friends have mentioned Rover to me, so here we are! I don't currently have any pets of my own, but many of my friends do and I certainly understand they're like children. In fact they are children! I know how important pets are and although, again, I don't have any of my own I will treat your pets as if they're mine. As an addition to that, I am currently not in a position to have my own pet. I just moved back home to Jacksonville from Kansas City. I'm not currently staying in my own place and therefore I really can't have any pets of my own at this moment. That being said, there are pets where I am currently living. There are two cats and two dogs and I love them all. In fact one of them is trying to give me loving right now as I write this!

I have been friends with Marcellus for longer than I can even remember... I believe it’s going on 20 years. To say that I would (and have) left my little girl Belle with him is a gross miss statement. I would trust him with my life, my home, my car... all of which are much less important that my sweet Belle. He has dog/house set for us numerous times over the years. He has dog/house set for many of our friends over the years. The first summer we had Belle we didn’t know she was terrified of lawn mowers. It causes a sever need to simply run away as fast as she can. She squeezed through the gate and off she went before we even knew it. As I was headed to the car to go search for her Marcellus called for another reason... I told him I couldn’t chat that Belle had gotten out and I needed to look for her. He said he was on his way over to look as well... As I drove around the neighborhood looking he not only drove around as well, he got on the neighborhood Facebook page and posted her photo. 15 minutes later I received a call from him with the address of the lovely people who had found her and were holding her. There isn’t a human being I would or could recommend more to trust with your most precious of loved ones. I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Marcellus is great with dogs! Both my current Lab and my last Lab loved him to pieces. He would play with them in the yard, give them treats and even Christmas presents. He is really a dog person.

I have known Marcellus for 15yrs and he has on more than one occasion taken care of my cats while I have been out of town. He checks on them daily and spends time playing and petting them while he is here. He always make sure they have food and water. He is wonderful with animals and working with and for other people. He has a great personality and a huge heart, probably one of the nicest and funniest people you ever meet.

I have known Marcellus for many years. He is a caring, fun and dog loving person. Recently I was in need of in-home dog sitting services and Marcellus was wonderful with my dog. He did everything that needed to be done—gave meds, walked, fed and played with my little nine year old “baby”. During my time away, he even sent messages and photos of her. I can not recommend him enough!

Information Marcellus S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog has any special needs, special Foods, special medicines or anything like that. I have and will give medicine to dogs, either oral medications or injections if that is needed. I would only ask that the owner is very specific and what they would like done. For instance if the dog needs medicine, if they take their medicine in the morning and again at night whatever the case may be. Just let me know and I'll take care of it. I do not have any breed preferences. In the past, I have watched Shepherds, Mastiffs, catahoulas, and Terriers. It really doesn't matter to me!

A typical day

I will walk your dog wherever the owner suggest I walk them. I do enjoy spending time at dog parks and walking and running with the dogs there. If the beach is available and If the owner is okay with it, I will take the dogs to the beach. I really don't have any issue going anywhere while certainly keeping a safety of the dogs in mind. That is paramount.
