Furry Friends, Forever Blessings 🐾

I’ve been blessed to have dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. My very first pup, Spike, was rescued from a puppy mill, and I had the privilege of raising him all the way through his senior years. Then came our sweet Labrador, Sage, who we adopted from the local shelter. I cared for him through his hip surgeries during the pandemic and, later, through his brave fight with cancer until his final days in 2021. Now, I get to love and look after our three pups, Enzo, Mia, and Kira who have joyfully stepped in as the new beloved doggos of the family. Dogs truly are a gift from God - a little glimpse of goodness wrapped up in fur, wagging tails, and unconditional love.

Safety, trust & environment

In every home that I’m blessed to walk into, I make sure to respect each space no matter where it’s located. I always try and strive to leave each space better than how I found it - and that includes taking care of the pup too! I ensure to leave each pup happier and more filled with joy every-time I get to be with them.

Dog Walking • Feb 19, 2026

Marcus is AMAZING with my golden doodle Bisou! 🐶 I can always rely on him to come on-time and give her a long walk. She gets so excited when he comes to the door! He is kind-hearted, respectful, and helpful. So grateful to have reliable dog-walking here in South Beach! 🤗 He also used to work at Farmers Dog so I can trust him to feed my fur-baby the correct way. 🙌

Marcus is an amazing caretaker of dogs big and small. He has three dogs himself and also watches my doodle. I always know that she is in the best of hands with him - he is proactive, nurturing and gentle. He used to work for The Farmer’s Dog and is expert level at building relationships with pet owners and making sure pups are well-cared for and loved. I couldn’t recommend a more responsible person to take care of your furry friend. It’s even hard for me to share him! He almost takes better care of my dog than I do, and I am constantly learning from him.

Schedule

I’m currently looking for employment in my field. Because of that I have more than enough time and a willingness to take care of our bundles-of-fur. Whether that’s spending some quality time with a pup that’s home alone, or talking them on daily strolls while their parents are away.
