Will run with and love your dog!
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs and they can feel that I respect them. Have had dogs since I was six years old, yards, walks, the whole deal. I respect their needs and try to listen to them, get them exercise and snacks and make sure they are never lonely. I have had long term relationships with dogs as well, so I pride myself in being perceptive enough to really get to know a dog. I have an abundance of patience. I have friends in Brooklyn who I dog sit for for free because they are friends of mine. I sit with Lily and make sure she's fed, take her out every few hours, play with her and let her run around the apartment (with the approval of the owners for such rough play), and i promise I can see her smiling at me the moment I leave.
Reviews
Marcus was great! He helped us out on quite a few walks over a 2 week period with very little notice. Not only did he walk Goose but he hung out on the couch with her when the weather was bad (Goose hates the rain), which was above and beyond. We 100% recomend Marcus.
Marcus was fantastic! He stayed with our dog at our house for over a week. The house looked great when we got back and the dog was happy and relaxed. Couldn’t have asked for better!
Marcus was great! Our dog Buda loved him from the minute he walked in the first time! He sent us photos and took care of Buda as if he was his own. Highly recommend him! Thank you Marcus for taking care of Buda! He is happy and so are we! Very kind soul, we are glad we chose him.
Marcus is a great guy, he's very patient and thoughtful and has a deep love and appreciation for dogs. I've known him for 6 years and in that time I've seen him dog-sit, walk, and care for a number of dogs including my family's dog Bix who is always excited to see him. He's responsible and caring and would be a wonderful caretaker for any pup lucky enough to have him!

Information Marcus W. would like to know about your pet
Don't have a breed preference. Need to know allergies or physical ailments. What kind of food the love. Snacks, too. This way when I come for that first visit I have a leg up on having them feel comfortable with me. Your dog's comfort is paramount.
A typical day
Will take dogs on walks to nearby parks and quiet areas where they are less likely to be frightened. Will run with them, play fetch, talk to them, general companionship. It depends on the dog's personality. Like to feel them out and pay attention to the things they respond well to
