Pet care experience
Hello, fellow dog lovers! My name is Marcus, and I'm passionate about providing the best possible care for your furry friends. I’m empathy driven and pay very close attention to moods, body language and posture. With 9 years of experience as a dog owner myself, I have a soft spot for Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Pit Bulls, German Shepherds, and Boxers, but I love and welcome all breeds and sizes. I'm the go-to pet sitter among my friends, and I'm excited to extend my love and care to your beloved pups.
Reviews
Amazing experience - will definitely be back!
Izzy enjoyed her stay with Marcus and we appreciated the frequent photos, videos, and check-ins. Marcus understood that she has her quirks and handled her reactivity with understanding and good humor. Izzy was well cared for and enjoyed her walks and play time.
Kiki was well taken care of. Marcus responded quickly and actually responded to my request. I’ve had many people agree to watch my dog , but they never get back to me. This is becoming the norm on Rover. I am happy that I found Marcus!
Our dogs are always very comfortable with Marcus. He sends us frequent updates and follows the instructions for their medical care to a tee. He is flexible with pickup and drop-off times and our dogs are clearly happy to be around him.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog will feel right at home in my safe, gated property with plenty of room to roam, run, skip, and prance. Located in a secure, one-way street neighborhood, my home is just a 20-minute walk from nearby parks.

Information Marcus G. would like to know about your pet
It's always helpful to know a few essential details about a dog before we embark on our fun and furry adventure together! I'd love to learn about your pup's: 1. Breed, age, and size - this helps me understand their physical needs and energy levels. 2. Personality traits and quirks - knowing what makes your dog unique allows me to tailor our activities and interactions to their preferences. 3. Exercise and activity routine - this ensures I maintain consistency and provide the right amount of activity for your furry friend. 4. Any dietary restrictions, allergies, or medication requirements - so I can ensure their health and well-being are taken care of. 5. Socialization and behavior around other dogs and people - this helps me create a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone. 6. Any specific likes, dislikes, or fears - knowing these helps me provide the most comfortable and enjoyable experience for your pup. Feel free to share anything else you think is important. I'm all ears and excited to get to know your dog better!
A typical day
We have a blast engaging in fun activities like Hide-and-Go-Treat, Tug-of-War, and playful games of Tag, where I chase after the dogs and then they chase after me. I love exploring the local parks and beautiful walking trails in our neighborhood during our walks, providing your furry friends with a variety of stimulating environments and opportunities to socialize, exercise, and have an amazing time with me!
