Dedicated Canine Caretaker

Pet care experience

What sets me apart as a sitter is my deeply personal approach to caring for your dogs as if they were my own. I diligently follow every instruction regarding walks, feeding, and all other needs, ensuring that your beloved pets receive the care and love they deserve. My commitment goes beyond just meeting the basic requirements; I strive to create a caring environment that keeps both my clients and their dogs happy and content. Additionally, I am dedicated to making a difference in the animal community by supporting initiatives aimed at helping dogs recover from abuse. This commitment to animal welfare is at the heart of everything I do, ensuring that I provide the highest level of care and make a meaningful contribution to the lives of the dogs I look after.

Marcos is wonderful! He took such good care of my babies. I got pictures and updates daily. The dogs both seemed very comfortable with him. I say this because they actually ate rather than going on their typical hunger strike. My house was also in great shape when I returned. I will definitely use Marcos again!

Marcos was absolutely fantastic. We have three very anxious pets (along with two fish tanks) that are always a handful - especially our male puppy who is still loving to pee in the house. We came home to a clean house, after Marcos stayed in our home for a week, the house looked beautiful, and all of our pets were very calm. He took the dogs for multiple walks a day - more than we can ever give them. I think they are looking for him still. Highly, highly recommend Marcos for your pet sitting needs.... I know we will be booking again!

Our kitty was very well taken care of! Marcos made sure to keep us updated, followed all the instructions, and they both gave our cat so much love and affection. Looking forward to next time!

I cannot say enough incredible things about Marcos care for my dog. I have used many Rover boarding options in the past and Marcos is the best I have ever seen. His care for my dog was above and beyond simply feeding and walking him a few times a day. Marcos was able to give guidance on oral health, provided love and comfort and exercise for him on a daily basis while Breck was in his care. I highly recommend and will most certainly be using him again and again!!

I recently finished my MBA, and as a result, I now have more time available to dedicate to taking care of dogs. I'm excited to provide love, attention, and responsible care to any furry companions
