Safety, trust & environment

Dogs are allowed to run around and play freely. I tend to be consistent with picking things off the floor which may be dangerous. I keep my attention on them at all times. My goal is to make them comfortable.

Responsible and kind. Passionate

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs in Ohio, until 18 when I moved to NYC, in 2004. I adopted my last dog Buckley in 2010. Since then, I have become sort of an uncle for my friends dogs. I have been caring for 3 dogs in my friend circle, at the same time or solo for 5 years. I’m also a classically trained singer, and the dogs seem to find peace in singing. I was a full time caregiver and helped adopt and raise 3 dogs with that family over 10 years.

Marcus was very friendly and communicative and did a great job entertaining my dog over a very rainy long weekend. I highly recommend!

Loved having Marcus look after Joey!! She was so thrilled to be with one of her favorite humans. I got regular updates from Marcus, lots of pictures, and one happy dog at pickup. Always a pleasure knowing my animals are in great care while I'm away. Thanks again, Marcus! We're looking forward to our next booking with you.

Marcus is my go-to for my pets (both boarding and walks), and I truly can’t recommend him enough! He recently watched my two dogs, Alice and Joey, and my cat, Tuna, for 3 weeks while I was away for 3 weeks. I know I can trust Marcus with my pets for weeks at a time, and I also regularly book him for walks with Joey, my very energetic puppy. So happy to have found reliable pet care with Marcus. Alice is 14 and needs a slower, more patient pace, while Joey is the complete opposite...and Marcus handles that mix so seamlessly. He’s incredibly attentive, intuitive, and just genuinely loves spending time with them. Tuna even adores Marcus, which says a lot - he's a finicky kitty who doesn't show affection with just anyone! He sends consistent photo and video updates, which gives me so much peace of mind when I’m away. It’s honestly obvious how much my pets adore him; they treat him like he’s their second owner, and I’m pretty sure they don’t even notice I’m gone! Marcus is reliable, communicative, warm, and someone I trust completely with my animals. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets like they’re his own, he’s your person. You'll be grateful and lucky to book with Marcus!!

Marcus is great with animals! He loves dogs and always keeps the area and dog neat and clean. He’s very friendly and easy to deal with.
