Marcus is hands down the BEST CAREGIVER, for your pet. He went above and beyond for our dog Max. He took Max to the park, spent extra time, communicated regularly. Marcus treated Max as his own. I highly recommend Marcus and will request Marcus every time I travel!

Marcus is THE MOST AWESOME caregiver for our pet Maxwell! Max connected immediately with Marcus as if he had known him for years! Marcus went the extra mile to communicate with us while we were out of town to show how much fun Max was having! Marcus took Max to the neighborhood park, gave him special treats… I can’t say enough great things about Marcus! I would have him care for Max full time and trust him with anything needed for our dog Max.We would give Marcus 10 stars if we could!

Goldie loves Marcus! She is running to the door, walks right into his house and doesn’t look back! That means she’s super comfortable.

Marcus is the BEST! Goldie is whining to go inside as soon as we walk up to the door and she walks inside like she belongs there and doesn’t look back. I know she’s happy and feels safe which is priceless.

Safety, trust & environment

My home has been tailored for a dogs comfort. One of the main things is safety. Making sure there’s no access to anything harmful or detrimental. Second priority is comfort, & the last is a safe area to exert as much energy as they want by playing safely.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy the process of stimulating dogs physically and mentally. We can talk scrolls across the peaceful neighborhood were they can smell a variety of flowers/plants. As well as explore & play at a big park near home
