I am so happy to have met Marcus! Marcus has a wonderful and welcoming spirit; you can tell he truly loves and cares for your pets. My boy Dash loves spending time with Marcus. Marcus has proven himself trustworthy, reliable, and caring. He also gives tips and provides feedbacks after each session. Dash and I are pleased! Thank you, Marcus :)

Marcus has been nothing short of amazing. Since his first session with Monty he has had visible progress. Since my dog was a rescue and I a very inexperienced dog owner having Marcus as a resource for training and overall pet care has been a God send. Furthermore his flexibility in scheduling is also top tier. I would definitely recommend his expertise to anyone looking for a trainer, boarder, or just looking for a simple walk and interaction session.

Marcus was a dream come true. We've used him in the past, and it has always been excellent service. We truly feel lucky we found him. The dogs love Marcus, and so do we Marcus loves animals, can be completely trusted, is very smart, communicates well, and has great judgment. We will use him in the future.

Marcus took the best care of my two miniature Schnauzers. They were immediately comfortable in his presence and I felt assured knowing they were going to receive the love, attentiveness and security while in his care. I appreciate the consistent communication he provided and the updates through videos and pictures while I was away for a week. When I returned I could tell how much they bonded with him. I will definitely check his availability any time I am scheduled to be away and need dog sitting services. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a safe and loving place for their fur babies to be while they are away.

I booked Marcus to watch my dog, Marvel, for a few days, and I couldn't have been happier with the experience. Marcus was prompt, friendly, and professional. He took great care, and he even sent me daily updates and photos. My dog was so happy and well-behaved when I came to pick him up. He clearly had a great time with Marcus, he didn't want to leave! Specifics: --Marcus was prompt and reliable. Our drop off and pick up time was planned and easy. --Marcus was friendly and professional. He was easy to talk to, and he made me feel comfortable leaving Mevel in his care. --Marcus took great care of Marvel. He walked him multiple times a day, played with him, and gave him plenty of love and attention. --Marcus sent me daily updates and photos. I loved seeing how Marvel was doing, and it made me feel better knowing that he was in good hands. Overall: I highly recommend Marcus to anyone looking for a dog sitter. He is reliable, friendly, and professional. He takes great care of dogs, and he will make sure your furry friend is happy and well-behaved when you come home. Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Marcus took such good care of my baby, Chase. He provided videos and pictures of him playing with his dog and he was so happy to be there. He trained him in 3 days how to walk without a lease, actually listen to commands and get some great exercise. I will definitely take him back to Marcus. His house was clean and he was very patient with Chase not being house trained. At this point, I owe him a new rug lol! Thank you Marcus for giving me peace of mind and making Chase feel so comfortable. We’ll be back!
