Thank you, Marcus! you got the touch; as soon as I left Olaf with you, he just went along, didn't even turn around. He came back normal and happy as usual, so I'm sure he enjoyed having you care for him.

Marcus was wonderful with our dogs! We have a senior dog and the single level space was perfect. Thx!

Our pup Leo had a great time with Marcus for the second time now. Leo came home happy and tired. We trust Marcus with taking care of our older boxer and will be coming back!
