A typical day
I love engaging pets in a variety of fun activities! Here are some of the activities I enjoy: Taking dogs on walks, hikes, or trips to the dog park for socialization. **Interactive Play**: Engaging cats and dogs with interactive toys, fetch games, or tug-of-war to keep them active and **Puzzle Toys**: Using treat-dispensing toys or puzzles to challenge pets and keep them mentally engaged. **Cuddle Time**: Offering plenty of affection and bonding time, whether it’s snuggling on the couch or gentle grooming sessions. **Exploration Walks**: Mixing up our walking routes to discover new sights, sounds, and smells, making each outing an adventure. These activities not only keep pets active but also strengthen our bond and provide a fun, fulfilling experience!

Compassionate pet sitter 😻🐶
Pet care experience
I stand out as a pet sitter because of my experience with pets of all ages, especially senior pets who need extra care and comfort. I focus on building a strong bond, creating a safe environment, and tailoring my care to each pet’s unique needs. I’m also passionate about animal care—I once rescued a baby squirrel, cared for it until it was healthy, and then released it back into the wild. My dedication ensures every pet feels happy and well cared for.

Reviews
Marcos is amazing with our pups! One is a puppy, and one has a severe trauma history, so they're both special needs, and he's perfect with them.
Marcos took wonderful care of my senior pitbull while I was traveling for six nights. He stayed at my home and was extremely respectful of the space—even washing the bedding he used before leaving, which I really appreciated. He sent daily updates with photos, which gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was comfortable and well cared for. Communication and scheduling were easy from start to finish, and Marcos followed all of the care instructions I provided perfectly. It’s clear he’s thoughtful, responsible, and genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. I would absolutely recommend Marcos to anyone looking for reliable in-home boarding or pet sitting. I would happily book him again! 🐶📸
Marcos is an amazing petsitter. He has watched our cat for multiple weeks-long stays in our home and we love having him. He makes sure our cat is well fed, gives her her medication, and makes her feel very loved. He's very responsive, sends loads of pics, and takes amazing care of the house while we are away. Highly recommend!
Marcos took wonderful care of my sweet rescue pup and my home over Christmas! I appreciated his great communication, with frequent updates and photos, and that he followed Ginger’s regular schedule with meals and medications. I came home to a happy dog and a sparkling home! Thank you, Marcos!
