Super Friend to Super Pets

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Marco. I have been an animal lover my whole life. Growing up taking care of birds and fish I did not have a dog until adulthood. I spent the best 11 years with Charlie and it wouldn't be long before I had a new partner in crime...Luna! We love taking long walks, wind, rain, or shine. I have become very social thanks to her. We belong to the neighborhood dog group that meets daily. Playing fetch, giving belly rubs, tricks for treats and just relaxing are activities we like to do. I also watch cats, as I have experience feeding and giving medication.

Marco did a great job with Lilly and Lucy. He communicated well and sent photos. Our older dogs were extra nervous with some construction happening next door and he handled the situation well. We would definitely use Marco again.

Marco is the best! He and his dog Luna showed our dog the best time while we were out of the town for the weekend. We are so lucky to have found them, and we will definitely use him as a dog sitter going forward. Highly recommend him to any pet parent!
