Marco's Dog Sancuary

Hi My name is Marco and I have been a huge dog lover and owner all my life. I live in a huge apt on the Upper West Side which is located half a block from Riverside Park, 4 blocks from Central Park and 4 blocks from a dog run. I am a working professional that is lucky enough to be able to work from home. I currently have a 2.5 year old Puggle named Rocky who gets alone with pretty much everyone. My goal is to provide a safe, loving and fun environment for your dog to stay in while you are away. I will walk your dog at least 3x day or more if need be. Rest assured that your dog will be in great hands and I will update you throughout the day with pics and texts on how your dog is doing. Thank you for our consideration Marco

Marco was extremely communicative and sent a ton of photos. Dumbo and totoro came back so happy and tired. Will definitely board them with Marco again!

Marco has watched my dog Mangito many times over the years. I know Mangito is well cared for when he’s with Marco.

Marco looked after my dog for a week over Thanksgiving. He did a fantastic job. He picked him up and was very communicative over the course of the week. We got Frankie back and he was as happy as ever. We highly recommend using Marco as your dog sitter.

I have left my dog with Marco many times. My dog happily goes with Marco; That’s not the usual behavior for my dog. Makes me feel sure my dog is well cared for when I’m away.
