Home Full Time- Large House

We love all dogs like they are our own. Our friends always leave their dogs in our care whenever necessary. With someone home at our house most times, the dogs will have the care, love and attention they need and deserve! Our dog and children (ages 20, 17, & 10) love meeting new dogs and playing! We can make sure to keep your pet on the same feeding schedule they are used to. This way there are no adjustments needed. Your dogs will get plenty of exercise. Whether it is a walk around our very friendly neighborhood or running around the house with our dogs. Exercise is never an issue. We look forward to meeting your dog and giving them a great vacation while you are away. Let us know how we can help!

Marcus and Nicki are such a sweet couple and cared for Kyrie very well. I was particularly grateful because the request was a bit last minute, but they were so understanding. It was clear they had a lot of experience with dogs and knew how to care for our very anxious Kyrie 🥹 They had great communication and sent cute images of her over the weekend. I’m thankful our dog was in capable and caring hands!

Nicki and family are great. We only use them for our pet sitting needs. My pup gets excited whenever we pull up to the house and jumps out to get inside.

Marcus and Nicki have continuously watched our boys whenever we happen to go away for a few days. Our boys love it there. We have never had any issues and the boys always come back happy from their stay. It is always great to see pictures of them and we know that they are in good hands when they are with Nicki and Marcus. We have on occasion had to leave them with other sitters and it just has never been the same, they get home sick and always come home sick when they stay with anyone else. It is a huge comfort for us knowing that they are happy and never sick when they stay with Nicki and Marcus. We will continue to use Nicki and Marcus whenever the occasion arises. Thanks again! coco and simba truly love it with you guys! Do not hesitate to book with Marcus and Nicki. I highly recommend them.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into our daily and weekly routine. We both live very structured, active lives, and my wife works from home most days, which means someone is almost always around to give pets attention and consistency. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, or playtime, we build pet care right into our normal schedule. We love keeping a clean, calm, and reliable environment, and having pets around adds even more joy to our day.

Safety, trust & environment

We care for every pet as if they were our own, with a mix of structure, attention, and genuine love. At our home, we make sure pets have a comfortable and safe environment with plenty of space, fresh water, and consistent routines for walks, meals, and playtime. My wife works from home most days, so there’s always someone around to give attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day.

Pets

A typical day

We love keeping pets active, happy, and engaged. Depending on each pet’s personality and energy level, we’ll go on walks, play fetch, explore nearby parks, or just enjoy some backyard time and sunshine. For more relaxed pets, we’ll spend time cuddling, brushing, or giving extra attention indoors. Since we both live active lifestyles, we enjoy making sure pets get the right mix of exercise and calm time. My wife is home most days, so she’s able to give plenty of one-on-one play and affection throughout the day, while I’m often the one to add in more structured walks or outdoor play when I’m home. Our goal is to make sure every pet feels loved, entertained, and part of our routine while they’re with us.

It’s really important for us to know as much as possible about each pet before we start caring for them. We like to learn their daily routines, feeding schedule, and any special needs or medications. We also want to understand their personality — what they enjoy, what makes them nervous, and how they interact with other animals or people. It’s also helpful to know where they normally sleep and if they are crate trained or used to having free roam of certain areas. We want to keep their comfort and structure consistent, so knowing if they rest in a crate, a bed, or a specific room helps us follow the same routine they’re used to. We also ask about how they do around other dogs and what their comfort level is in different environments. If there are times when no one will be home, it’s important for us to know what the pet is most comfortable with — whether that means being in a crate, staying in a closed-off area, or relaxing freely in the house. The more we know ahead of time, the more we can make their experience feel calm, familiar, and stress-free.
