Pet care experience

Work from home. Love outside

I have been around dogs for most of the 30some years of my life and have raised a number of dogs by myself. Recently relocated to Salisbury to work at UMES. I enjoy the company of our furry friends, as well as the support it gives the “paw”rents. I am willing to work with you to adequately accommodate any and all of your possible needs. I work from home most days, so I am able to take great care of your pet. I love being outside so you pet will enjoy many walks and outside time with me. I hope to bring your pet comfort and fun while you are away from home. I hope to have many memorable experiences (and pictures) with your pup in the near future. See you soon.

House Sitting • mai 26, 2026

Marcus took great care of our pets and house while we were away. The only reason I gave 4 stars was he was not as responsive as we would’ve liked when asking for updates.

Marcus was a lifesaver, he saved my vacation! Last minute booking when my original pet sitter was snowed in with zero power or water. My girl was so happy when I picked her up. Marcus was good about sending pics the entire 7 days. Thanks Marcus for taking care of Ms. Rita! Oh and an added bonus is Marcus’s location is only 15 minutes from the airport!

Marcus took wonderful care of Dakota. He was very accommodating with pickup and drop off. I’ll use him again.

As usual Marcus was great. We don’t worry about the boys when he’s watching them. Thanks again Marcus

Safety, trust & environment

I typical am able to walk your pet every 4/5 hours during the week. For home stays I am usually only away from your pet no more than 3/4 hours. While with your pet I am able to follow all of your expectations and routines. I am in contact with you daily to keep you updated on our day and send amazing pictures.

A typical day

I like to start with a 30 minute walk first thing in the morning to get us both out and stretch our legs, followed by breakfast and checking in with you. Throughout the day we will play with toys, get many belly rubs, and relax in backyards and other green spaces. At night I look forward to cuddling with those lovable buddies or just chilling out enjoying some late night tv or reading.

I have been working with dogs both as a trainer and sitter for several years. Please let me know about any medications or behavior plans that you would like me to follow. I am good at following the routines that are in place to keep your pets at ease while you are away. I look forward to meeting you.
