I'll fetch your dog.

Pet care experience

My love and passion for puppies began at a very young age. Growing up, I was blessed with having at least one dog in the household. During my high school years, I worked at a parrot shop located in Edgewater. There, I cared for baby parrots by handfeeding them their formula, which I prepared myself. I also kept a health chart on many baby parrots. Adults parrots were also present and cared for. My love and respect for animals has only increased through the years. Life has us all working so much that it takes us away from what we would rather do, spend time with our pets. Your dog will be cared for and looked after when you need to attend other matters. I have cared for dogs in the past, small and large (Saint Bernard the largest). I cannot pet sit in my home, but I can come to yours, though most of the time I will be out with him/her. So next time your puppy needs love and care when you need to be elsewhere, book me. I will make sure to fill that void your absence will leave, so the time he/she misses you will be less. Though I love dogs very much, I can be firm when needed. If there are any special requirements, please let me know. A. If your dog is shy, I will make sure he/she is not overwhelmed by other dogs or even humans. B. If he/she is hyper, to avoid kids being frightened. C. Do you prefer that your dog does not visit dog parks, or at least when they are not that busy? etc.

Marco is very reliable and punctual, and my sister’s dogs absolutely adore him. He can spend hours playing with them. I have worked with Marco for almost 2 years. He shows great attention to detail and is a joy to be around (for humans and dogs alike).

Marco is super reliable and has been a great addition to our family. We can always count on him to take our dog Zoe as if she was his own. You would be so lucky to have Marco on your team.

I currently do not own any pets. Building regulations and lack of space have prevented me from such joy. While I cannot pet sit at my home, I can take your dog outdoors. I try and stay physically active, so your dog will be walking and playing.

Information Marco D. would like to know about your pet

You know your dog best. Please let me know how your dog interacts with other humans and dogs. It your dog is overwhelmed by crowds, then I will avoid them. Is your dog hard or hearing, can he/she be let off the leash (in dog parks). Does your dog obey "come here" or "stay" commands? Does your dog get scared of crossing streets and needs to be carried in arms? Do you allow to strangers to pet your dog? and if so, to what extend: belly or head-rubs? Does your dog take any medications? How is the medication administered? I have not injected dogs medicine, but I will be willing to learn if needed. My goal is to ensure your dog's happiness, but his/her safety comes first.

A typical day

My goal is to follow your instructions. Dogs, like us humans, are creatures of habit and once a routine is altered, we stress. If your dog is energetic, then I will provide him/her with walks and runs in the park, or street, depending the neighborhood. Because I use my vehicle to drive potential clients to see houses, I cannot have dogs in it. But if you so choose to, I can responsibly drive your vehicle. But keep in mind, my goal is to walk your dog unless there's a special requirement.

I am currently a Real Estate Agent. My main working days are the weekends for open houses. This provides me with the freedom to care for your pet during the week, which is when most doggies are home-alone, but not anymore if I have a say in the matter.
