I'm your pet's other best friend.

Pet care experience

I have extensive experience caring for a range of animals, and I love 'em all. Specifically, I have experience caring for everything from Great Danes all the way down to little hairless cats and pot-bellied pigs. As a young boy I lived on a farm in Indiana and by the age of five I was already helping take care of the chickens, pigs, horses, and cows. The wife and I currently have two female tabby cats and a well-trained and good natures little cattle dog. My love and dedication to caring for animals has been a lifelong pursuit. I hope to be of service to you and your family pets.

I have a Boxer mix named Bella that Marcus has watched numerous times for me in the past, and I've always been pleased with his care for and understanding with my dog. My dog has a dominant disposition and I don't trust her being watched by too many people since she can be hard to handle if you don't know dog behavior with her breed. I've spent time with Marcus and my dog to make sure he understood her behavior and could control it, and I was so happy with Marcus' calm demeanor, and his knowledge of different dog breeds and attitudes that they can carry. I highly recommend Marcus as a Pet Sitter for any dog. If he can handle my Bella, I'd trust him with just about any dog out there.

I am glad that Marcus wants to do this, I have seen him work with his Australian Cattle Dog and make so much progress. Colbee is a high energy strong willed dog but Marcus gently worked with him until he is obedient and fun to be around. He loves dogs and enjoys hanging out with them. We recently enjoyed an afternoon together at the dog park.
