Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe, Fun & Caring Dog Walks
Adopting my dog Maite over 6 years ago completely changed my life and gave me valuable hands-on experience in responsible pet care. I brought her from Chile to Canada and since then I have been fully dedicated to her wellbeing, including her medical care, emotional support, daily exercise, and positive behavior training. Caring for Maite has taught me how important patience, consistency, affection, and safety are when looking after a dog. She is very friendly with people and loves playing at the park, so I understand the importance of socialization, outdoor activities, and creating a calm and loving environment both at home and outside. What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every dog. I understand that pets are family members, and I always prioritize their comfort, happiness, and safety while making sure they feel loved and secure.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We hired Marco for a temporary period after I broke my ankle. We are so protective of our pups, and found the best walker EVER to take some of the pressure off our household during this stressful time. Not only did Marco treat our babies as if they were his own, he put ME at ease knowing that they loved him just as much. Always friendly, we found him to be reliable, punctual and trustworthy. Yes, Five stars....because there aren't six!
Marco truly treats every dog like his own. The love, patience, and care he gives to every pup is obvious from the moment you see him with them. Dogs naturally trust him, and owners do too! He’s reliable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about them. he’d be an amazing person to trust with your dogs and a perfect candidate for any dog care job!
Marco has a way with animals. He’s super caring very responsible and always willing to go the extra mile for our furry friends. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your pets, look no further.
Marco took such good care of my little Luna at times when I needed to travel. He listened carefully to the needs of my dog and follow through with all of them. I highly recommend entrusting your pet in Marco's hands for a guaranteed fun loveable time.
I have known Marco for approximately four years, and he always stands out as a loving and dedicated father towards Maite (his Doggy), he is constantly making sure all her needs are on point, making sure she is healthy, happy and treating her as a member of the family. He is very patients, attentive and with a genuine love for animals

Schedule
I work full-time on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. I typically walk my own dog early in the morning around 6:00 a.m., which limits my availability for additional walks at that time. I am available for pet care services after 7:00 p.m. on weekdays. At that time, I also walk my own dog, but I can schedule additional walks or visits in a way that allows me to provide dedicated attention to each pet. I prefer to care for clients’ pets without bringing my own dog, to ensure full focus and a calm, individualized experience. On weekends, I have flexible availability and can accommodate a wide range of scheduling needs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a pet-friendly area close to several safe parks, which makes daily walks and outdoor exercise easy and enjoyable for dogs. In my home, I have enough space to comfortably accommodate an additional dog or cat, ensuring they can rest, move around, and feel relaxed in a clean and calm environment. Safety is always my top priority. I supervise pets closely, maintain a secure environment, and make sure they are never exposed to unnecessary risks during walks or outdoor time. I also follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding schedules, medication if needed, and any specific instructions from the owner. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all guidelines exactly as provided, making sure the pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in their familiar environment. My goal is to provide consistent, trustworthy care that helps pets feel at ease whether they are with me or in their own home.
Pets
A typical day
Dogs love to explore, so walking around the neighborhood using different routes can help them discover new smells, promoting mental stimulation and keeping them happy. Cats are not very different when it comes to stimulation. Playing at home with toys and engaging activities can help keep cats mentally stimulated and happy as well.
