Marcus's Dog Boarding

Looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter for your beloved furry friend? Look no further! Meet Onyx, a calm and relaxed 15-year-old Shih-Tzu mixed with Poodle (Shih-Poo), and Snickers, a playful 8-year-old Schnauzer. Onyx has been a part of our family since she was just 5 months old, and we've developed a deep bond with her over the years. Snickers, on the other hand, is an energetic and lively companion who will be the life of our backyard playground! Onyx absolutely adores playtime, but she's also quite content to relax and unwind after a few minutes of excitement. Rest assured, your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, and playtime while they are with us. Snickers, with his playful nature, will ensure that there's never a dull moment in our home. Weekdays are a breeze as I currently work from home, allowing me to be present for our furry companions throughout the day. They have full access to our safe and secure yard whenever they feel like stretching their legs or enjoying some outdoor play. Snickers will happily lead the way and keep the fun going in our backyard playground. Weekends are equally enjoyable for our furry guests. With flexible schedules and never being away for extended periods, we can ensure that your dog will receive the attention they deserve. Plus, there's a fantastic dog park nearby where they can socialize and have a blast with other four-legged friends. At our home, your small breed pup will be treated like a cherished member of our family. With a nice-sized yard for them to explore and play in, we provide a comfortable and welcoming environment for your dog to enjoy their stay. Snickers' playful spirit will add an extra element of joy and entertainment to your pup's experience. We understand that your pet's well-being and happiness are of utmost importance, and we take that responsibility seriously. Rest assured, your furry friend will be in caring and capable hands. We can't wait to welcome your dog as our honored guest! Please don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet. We're excited to meet you and your furry companion soon!

Marcus was a good sitter for Bently! He updated me about Bently through videos and answered all my questions and concerns for my comfort. Most importantly, Bently was happy and content there and coming home.

Normally when my dogs go to a daycare and stay overnight, they come home sick, or stressed. On this day I picked up my dogs from Marcus and they were excited, happy babies with no issues. Thanks Marcus for taking such good care of my fur babies.
