Marcus is great with Ziva, my Belgian Malinois. He is very accommodating and I can tell she enjoys her stay! He sends updates and is always available to let me know how she is doing or answer questions. He is our go to local sitter after moving here this year. I am very careful who I leave with her with- her last sitter was our go to for 5 years before we moved to Tampa. I am glad we found him!

Great job with two 100+ lbs dogs who are not socialized. Came over for a meet and greet and got nipped in the hand by my precious Canary Mastiff. Didn’t faze him. Sat down and got barked at for twenty mins before the dogs chilled! Totally reliable and trustworthy service! Hoping Marcus will help again during extended vacations!!
