Pet care experience

Life is nothing without dogs

I grew up around dogs and learned from an early age how much patience, attention, and care they need. Watching my mother raise puppies into healthy adult dogs gave me a lifelong appreciation for their personalities, emotions, and loyalty. I only care for one dog at a time, which allows me to give your dog my full attention in a calm and comfortable environment. I understand that every dog is different, so I take time to learn their routine, boundaries, energy level, and personality. Whether your dog enjoys playing, relaxing, going for walks, or simply having company, I will make sure they feel comfortable, respected, and loved as if they were my own. Although I am not a professional groomer or veterinarian, I am patient, attentive, playful, and genuinely passionate about dogs. I understand how important your energy, approach, and body language are when meeting and caring for a new dog. You are always welcome to call or message me with any questions, concerns, or requests. I will gladly provide updates while your dog is in my care so you can feel comfortable knowing they are receiving plenty of attention and affection.

Marquise has watched my 2 year old German shepherd puppy several times for me while I was out of town and my dog loves him! He has been extremely helpful and his help is greatly appreciated

Marquise is a responsible and loving dog caregiver. He is compassionate for animals, he currently has two fur babies, who both are rescue dogs. I have seen him in action with his two and our boxer/pit mix Dexter who is very rambunctious. He managed them all at that same time with ease. He commanded them with love and care, and the dogs responded with tails wagging.

Safety, trust & environment

I take safety and trust seriously. I follow each owner’s care instructions closely, keep pets on leash during walks, and make sure doors, gates, food, and water are always handled carefully. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment, and I’ll keep you updated so you know your pup is safe and cared for.

A typical day

I from home, so my schedule is flexible and I’m able to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. As a former athlete and Navy veteran, I’m active and love working out, so I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, and keeping dogs engaged. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your pet like they’re my own.

I have no preferences. Just let me know if he or she has any problems mentally or physically so I can take care of your pup the best way I can. Before caring for your pet, I like to know their routine, energy level, feeding schedule, any allergies or medications, and how they behave around other dogs or people. It’s also helpful to know any triggers, leash habits, separation anxiety, or special instructions so I can keep them comfortable, safe, and cared for the way they’re used to.
