Pet care experience

I'd love to welcome your dog into our family (with 2 kids, ages 9 and 12) for daytime visits or overnight stays. I am working primarily from home, my calm Beagle-Mini Pin mix Sarah—affectionately called "the meagle"—enjoys having canine companions! With a lifetime of dog ownership experience, I'll ensure your pet receives expert care and plenty of entertainment, including regular walks in our nearby park. Whether you need daytime hosting, walking services, or overnight care, I'm happy to help.

I never worry when I leave my dog with Markus. He responds very quickly to all my questions and keeps me updated with pics. I highly recommend him!

Markus took good care of Truffles. Good communication and made me feel that Truffles was well taken care of.
