Will love your pup as my own <3

Pet care experience

I’ve been an animal lover and owner since before I knew what to do with myself. Since I was born, our family has owned dogs, as well as cats. I feel I have a real connection with animals, and dogs more specifically. Growing up, there was never really a time where we didn’t have animals. My current dog, Berkeley, is a Jack Russell Terrier and I’ve raised her since she was 5 weeks old. I trained her to sit, stand, lay, do circles, speak, handshake, roll over, fetch, give kisses, give hugs,snuggles, speak, ring a hand bell to use the restroom, and have trained her to become extremely proficient at catching frisbees at long distances with high jumps. Dogs are my passion. Would love a chance to meet your pup <3 I work from home full time and love to have the company :) I work for myself so am very flexible if you’d like anything special for your pup! I have a fenced in large outdoor patio and am flexible for various doggy needs. I love to spend a lot of time hanging out and making sure your pup is stimulated, happy and loved!

Marcus was responsible and caring when he house sat and looked after our dog for a week while we were on vacation. Nova seemed happy and well cared for, we got regular updates, and our house was tidy including laundry done when we got back. We’ll definitely book Marcus again if he’s available!

Marcus was quick to respond when I texted him about my dog while on vacation and did very well with all of my notes for her care. I returned home to a happy healthy pup. I do wish he would have sent me more photos since I missed her so much but that was a minor thing overall.
