Your Dog’s Home Away from Home

Hi, I’m Marvin! I’m a dedicated dog lover with a full-time passion for caring for dogs. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where your furry friend will be treated like family. As a full-time dog sitter, I have the time and flexibility to give each dog the individual attention, affection, and care they deserve. Whether it’s going for walks, enjoying playtime, sticking to their daily routine, or simply relaxing with plenty of cuddles, I make sure every dog feels happy, secure, and right at home. Please feel free to check out the photos I’ve included of my home and backyard so you can see where your dog will be staying. I have a spacious 800-square-foot fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and burn off energy. If your dog tends to pull on the leash or isn’t comfortable with long walks, there’s no need to worry—they’ll still have plenty of room to exercise and have fun in the yard. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. My goal is to give you peace of mind while providing your dog with a fun, stress-free experience filled with love, care, and attention. I look forward to welcoming your furry family member into my home!

Great experience! I had to leave on an emergency trip overseas and I had peace of mind the minute I dropped off my dogs. Communication was flawless and my dogs were visibly comfortable there. Got photos and videos often enough to keep "connected" while away. Absolutely recommend ❤️

Marvin was amazing! He was so thoughtful, attentive, kind, and caring with my dog. He kept me updated continuously with many videos and pictures, and was very responsive. One thing that is very rare was that he was very observant about my dog’s needs - not only keeping my recommendations in mind, but making adjustments along the way based on my dog’s behavior (this is considering the fact that he was also taking care of other dogs at the same time). My dog was very much loved and spoiled by Marvin! Thank you so much!😊

Marvin was amazing with our two dogs! He was incredibly sweet and gentle with them, and sent us lots of pictures and videos throughout their stay. He even let them sleep in his bed, they were very comfortable and happy with him. He’s a great communicator, very flexible, and made us feel completely at ease. We’ll definitely hire him again to watch our dogs for our next trip!

Marvin is absolutely the BEST pet sitter we ever had!! He is so loving and caring to our 3 babies!! He always had videos for us to enjoy. And once we got the 3 babies back, there were no condition issues , the babies were normal as if they never left our home. Some sitters we had in the past had injuries with our pets and/ or had condition issues with their tummy or diet because the sitters never followed eating instructions. Marvin TRULY is family to us and we cannot wait to use him again and again for future sitting time with the babies!!!!

A typical day

Your pet will have a mini vacation with me! We’ll have playtime with toys, fun games, and lots of attention. If they enjoy it, we can do short walks, explore safely, and even have some treat time (with your approval). I always match activities to your pet’s personality and energy level

It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. This includes feeding schedule, energy level, behavior around other dogs, and any medical or dietary requirements—so I can provide the best care and make them feel safe and comfortable.
