A typical day

I'm available to take long or short walks to city parks, dog parks, or just around the block. I love to play fetch with retriever breeds, or just lounge around on the carpet with mellow dogs. I'm also adept at interacting with a wide variety of cats, learning their quirks, and adapting to their strange ways.

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Marcus. I live on a floating home on the Columbia River where I currently feed and provide for at least eight animals: three hummingbirds, a one legged duck named "Plucky," two feral cats, and two decidedly non-feral cats. I grew up with a wide variety of dogs, have a natural rapport with dogs, and miss interacting with them on daily basis. And since my cats won't allow me to bring home a dog, I'm excited to meet new buddies. Since I have my own pets, and hire pet sitting services, I can appreciate the care and trust involved in pet visits. I am very responsible, punctual, and adaptable. You will find me to be a reliable, friendly, and fun loving companion to your pets. I will certainly provide regular, prompt communications to update you on your pet's welfare while you are away.

Marcus has watched my cats many times over the years. His photos and synopses are delightful and he is reliable, consistent, and communicative as well. Most importantly he clearly loves animals and has a knack for winning over the most skittish and confrontational. I was surprised to see the first day photos with our very shy cat…he was rubbing his head on him and rolling around. That is pretty much unheard of! Highly highly recommend!!!!

Marcus is my go to cat sitter. He has a natural way with my finicky cat.

Marcus always takes great care of our three cats. We have been using him as our sitter since 2019. Would highly recommend.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
