Safety, trust & environment

I'm a pet sitter who's fully attentive to your dog's every need. Whether they're having an energetic day or a lazy one, my goal is to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. In my book, a walk is the bare minimum—the real goal is to make it the most enriching and exciting part of their day.

Marcus is very patient and gentle with my dog. He is punctual, consistent, and communicates well. He makes sure Akira gets the outside enrichment she needs and I come home to a well exercised, happy dog after work. Thank you!

Marcus provided reliable, responsible, loving care to our VERY temperamental and attention-hungry male Border Terrier for over 5 years. This included walks, play with other dogs, feeding, treats, grooming, and in-home dog sitting. He is a natural "dog person", safety conscious and 100-percent dependable. Highly recommended.

Marcus is a fantastic pet owner! He is very dedicated to making sure his dogs maintain a healthy routine and showing them lots of love. I would recommend him to anyone looking to for a trustworthy pet sitter.

Marcus is a pet parent’s dream! He’s truly excited to be a companion to your fur family. He’s known for long walks, cuddles, and exuberant play time. I’d hire him in a heart beat!

I'm a D.C. remote worker looking for a four-legged coworker! A walk with your pup is the ideal break for both of us. Fully remote, totally flexible. A dog walk is my favorite way to space out my day and get some fresh air.
