Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring PhD for your furry friend
I grew up sharing my home with my parents' White Swiss Shepherd called Nike, a wonderful and intelligent dog I lived with until just a few years ago, before leaving for the Master. Caring for such a large, sensitive, and active breed gave me extensive hands-on experience in managing daily routines, understanding canine body language, and providing the right balance of physical exercise and mental stimulation. Because of this background, I am very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I bring a calm, patient, and highly responsible approach to dog care. Whether your furry friend needs an active, structured walk to burn off energy or just some gentle, quiet companionship while you are away, I am fully equipped to adapt to their unique personality and ensure they feel completely safe and loved.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
For daily daycare, I love to integrate pet care into my research routine. Taking short breaks to go for a walk is incredibly helpful for me to clear my mind and relax away from the screen, which means your dog will get plenty of attention, fresh air, and exercise throughout the day. When providing night care at your home, I see it as a lovely and different way to spend a quiet evening. It's a joy to relax in the cozy company of a furry friend, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and completely at ease in their own familiar environment while you are away.
Ratings and reviews
Marco is an extraordinary and incredibly reliable person: seeing him at work with dogs makes you immediately realize how much passion he puts into this job. He has an attentive approach, a remarkable love for animals, infinite patience, and a level of professionalism that is truly hard to find. Leaving your dog with him means having complete peace of mind, knowing they will be loved and taken care of in the best possible way. Highly recommended to anyone looking for the absolute best for their dog!
Marco is my brother and I can vouch for him being an exceptional, responsible, and incredibly affectionate pet sitter. At home we have a Swiss Shepherd that he watched grow up, and even now that he lives away for university, whenever he comes back he always devotes plenty of time to her with walks, playtime, and cuddles. He has a true passion for dogs, and taking care of them comes completely naturally and spontaneously to him.
Marco adora i cani e riesce sempre ad entrare in sintonia con loro. La mia cagnolina adora giocare con lui e fare lunghe passeggiate. Marco sa farsi obbedire e prendersi cura del cane.

Schedule
I'm currently a PhD in Statistics at the University of Geneva. I spend most days in office, but I have a high flexibility in working from home. I'd love to have a dog of my own, but at the moment it would be quite complicated since I frequently travel for work and to go back to Italy. Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to enjoy the wonderful company of a dog and give them lots of attention, without the full-time commitment that my current academic lifestyle doesn't allow.
