Unfortunately, at this time I am not in a position where I feel comfortable caring for a dog in our home. We do not offer boarding services.

Information Marcus T. would like to know about your pet

I think it’s important to know the dogs activity level, feeding routine, interest in play (with other dogs), and any allergies or dieting issues should be discussed up front.

A typical day

A typical day for me involves a 2 mile walk with my dog, some two ball catching and play in the field. Then we love to eat breakfast together and take naps after we’ve tired ourselves out. We have special places we go in our neighborhood.

Pet care experience

One thing I pride myself on is not doing anything to anyone else’s dog that I would not do to my own. I take care of other people’s pets as if they’re my own. Not just doing this for money. I truly love animals and it is my pleasure to build relationships with you all that may need my sitting services! I work at a HS and my wife works from home. So we are flexible and can care for your dog throughout the day. Weekends are also super flexible. We understand that pets get lonely and perhaps anxious when alone so we tag-team to make sure your pets are cared for adequately. I am careful, communicative, dedicated, patient, fun and nice. I love animals and pets naturally gravitate toward and love me too! You can see from the reviews that clients are usually very satisfied with our service. I am excited to work with your pet(s) as it is very therapeutic for me. My background: I own an American Straffordshire Terrier and a pit bull, who love car rides, long walks, and puppacinos. I have cared for dogs for 15+ years, and My wife is on Rover as well with over 20 years of dog sitting experience. Sometimes we have opportunities to walk dogs together and enjoy playing with them. I really focus on proactive communication and being present, punctual, and active for any event scheduled!

Marcus was wonderful. The dogs loved him, he was super responsive and he left our house in great shape. We ran into travel delays and he checked in and offered to come back for anything the dogs needed. So glad we got in touch!

Marcus is great! He’s super responsive, communicative, and most importantly has the image ability to immediately make everyone (canines and felines included) comfortable! Highly recommend!

Marcus was very communicative and easy to work with. He came over for a meet-and-greet and was very friendly, showed up when he said he would, and put our anxieties at ease by keeping us in the loop and sending photos while we were away. He watched our dogs with only a couple days notice and did a great job, especially with our anxious noisy dog. We would definitely choose to schedule Marcus again.

Marcus was awesome! We had a last minute booking and he was flexible and responsive. Our Corgi is particular and he did a fantastic job with her. She seemed super happy with him and we got lots of pictures/updates. Highly recommend!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
