Pet care experience
I grew up in the Hudson Valley with dogs, cats, turtles, fish, birds, rabbits, goats.. the list goes on.. I am an endurance athlete and love running with canine companions. Before I could get my first dog my parents required that I spend a year volunteering at animal shelters, assisting dog trainers, and reading up on breeds and training methodologies. I delivered, and on my thirteenth birthday I adopted Alice, who was my sole charge until I left home; she is 15 now and still at it. Since then I have helped and guided many friends train their dogs. On Dogs: They call them "(hu)man's best friend" for a reason. The unconditional love that a pup provides is unparalleled. That said it's important to never treat them like humans, they are pack animals, and we need to be the leaders they see in us. Leadership of "the pack" requires confidence, a sense of direction, and a purpose through engagement. If I can help a few dogs find their purpose through running and exploring, I'll be floored. Obviously not all dogs are bred the same; I am happy to meet them where they are at.
Reviews
Marko is a warm, friendly young man who loves dogs and our dog, Stella, clearly had a lot of affection for him demonstrated when we went to pick her up after her more than two weeks stay with him and his partner Daria. The whole time we were away we got updates and pics and we felt that she was in very safe and caring hands with Marko and his family. We would definitely get Marko to look after Stella again and highly recommend him.
Marko has been my sons friend and a friend of our family's for most of his life. He is a remarkable young man who is responsible, loving and attentive to all . We have always had at least two dogs in our family whom I found no problem entrusting to his care when we went on trips. He would make an excellent employee for your business and would never leave an animal or the company for that matter in the lurch. When my wife was dying he took time off school for a week to come and help us say goodbye to her and be with his friend my son Wyatt to comfort him in his time of need. He is kind and the most responsible young person I know. You will be lucky to have him. Sincerely yours, Alexander C.
I would trust Marko with my dog ANY DAY. He is so kind and practically a dog whisperer. As a dog owner himself, he also knows how to take care of a dog better than anyone I know.
