Pet care experience

I work at a HS in Rockville but my wife works from home. So we are flexible and can care for your dog throughout the day. Weekends I am very flexible. We tag-team to make sure dogs are cared for adequately. I am careful, communicative, dedicated, patient, fun and nice. I love dogs and dogs 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 dog(s) as it is very therapeutic for me. My background: I own a American Straffordshire Terrier, who loves car rides, long walks, and puppacinos. I have cared for dogs for 10+ years, and My wife is on Rover as well with over 17 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 on time for any event scheduled!

Marcus always does a great job and I can travel knowing my two pups are being well cared for. I get frequent updates and photos. Marcus has been so helpful to our family and our travel schedule!

As always, Marcus did a great job keeping our pups happy in our absence. He goes above and beyond and we’re so glad he was available!

Couldn’t have asked for better care for our cat and dog. Marcus was reliable with updates/photos/videos and left our house really clean. Would love to have him house sit for us again!!

We try to make sure Marcus is free any time we leave town! Love how he loves our dogs like they’re his own. A great dog sitter and we never worry about our pups or our home when he is there.

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.
