I’m Marco but closest friends call me Dr. Dolittle

Pet care experience

I’ve been crazy for all kind of animals from a young age, however dogs have a special place in my heart! I had 3 German Shepards and 2 cross breeds from 11 till 25 (when I moved to U.K.). Since my arrival I have been using apps such as BorrowMyDoggy to create some paw friendships. At my workplace I am known as the guy that carries treats around to give to the various dogs on site so I’m always very well received when visiting one of these friends. I’m happy to either take them home with me or sit in on a pet owner’s home. Drop me a message or call me to check availability. Best wishes and have a pAwesome day 🐾🐶 Marco Cadete

Marco was amazing - he sent me pictures and videos everyday (even on Christmas day), made sure that everything went smoothly, and he was really kind and reassuring. I came back home to a happy and healthy cat. I definitely recommend, will book him again. Thank you again for everything!

Marco and Claudia were both lovely and Maggi clearly enjoyed her time with them! They were both very thoughtful about the little things as well as being flexible with dropoff and pickup times. They also sent us lots of photos and videos which kept us up to date on Maggi. Would highly recommend them!

Gyro was well looked after with Marco. He was really understanding and accommodating to our needs to change the schedule as we’re still caught up and late to pick up Gyro. Thanks very much and will definitely book with Marco when we’re in Oxford again

Marco was great doing a drop in visit with our lab puppy, very friendly and very knowledgeable about dogs! Our puppy loved him :)

Safety, trust & environment

Usually I tried to spend the most time outdoors with the dogs I am looking after. If I have to sit-in I try to interact with them as much as I can and do a bit of training as well as challenging games. I only walk one dog at a time unless they’re from the same owner. They need exclusive attention and for me dog walking is not a business but a therapy.

Information Marco C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special preferences for example if they are an anxious dog or if they don’t get along with other dogs. Also if they are ok off the lead or must stay on.

A typical day

I love to go on long walks with the dogs, once I build trust, I love to go with them to the beach or walks by the river. I also make sure I stimulate them and play with them a lot. I like to teach them new tricks but also discipline them when they get too excited.
