I currently work as a Graduate Assistant in the Philosophy Department at UConn. Over the summer, I’ll be continuing my research from home. I may need to be on campus once or twice a week, but otherwise I’m generally available throughout the week. I also spend a lot of time outdoors trail running or going on long walks, so I’m happy to give active dogs plenty of exercise if needed. I’m available for boarding any day of the week and can usually accommodate bookings with very little advance notice.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I provide a calm, attentive environment where pets are supervised and cared for consistently throughout the day. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, training cues, and any special care needs such as medications or behavioral considerations. During walks, I am very mindful of surroundings and keep dogs safely leashed at all times. In my home, dogs are treated as part of the household and given a comfortable, low-stress environment with plenty of attention and exercise as needed. I also make sure to provide regular updates so you can feel confident and informed while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. Since 2013, my family has had a German Shepherd, and I was actively involved in his daily care and training as he grew up. Through that experience, I became comfortable with everything from basic obedience training to managing routines, walks, and general behavior. I’ve also helped care for my brother’s two dogs on multiple occasions, including feeding, walking, and spending extended time with them. I’m confident handling dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I’m used to adapting to their needs and following specific care instructions closely.

Marcos was awesome, took care of my pup very well and checked in constantly if anything were needed or out of place. He also sent in plenty of photos and made sure her area was clean when I got back.

Marcos did an excellent job looking after our pup! He house sat for us for a long weekend. He did a great job of updating us with photos throughout the visit and our dog was super happy the whole time! We will definitely be booking with him again in the future!
