Pet care experience

Don’t overstress here’s Rovers best

Hi, I’m Marvin! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats through Rover and Wag for several years and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments.I’ve cared for energetic puppies, senior pets, shy animals, and dogs that need extra patience during walks. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout the visit.In addition to dogs and cats, I’m also open to caring for a variety of exotic and small pets, including reptiles, snakes, spiders, birds, fish, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, and other unique companions. I understand that these pets often have specialized care requirements, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions to ensure they receive proper care while you’re away.Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, daycare, boarding, or care for an exotic pet, I treat every animal as if they were part of my own family.I have experience with medication administration, senior pet care, and managing pets with anxiety or special care needs. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

Marvin is excellent. A good communicator with reasonable services. He’s great with Koda and I appreciate the updates from his rover card after the walk. Will be using him again.

As always, it is such a pleasure to have both Marvin and his girlfriend look after my Stevie. Whenever I drop him off, he is super happy, leaving me so comfortable and with a sense of ease. Marvin is like Stevie's second home 😆 and we could not be more thankful.

House Sitting • May 27, 2026

We had the pleasure of having Marvin take care of our dogs while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Marvin is a responsible, kind, and trustworthy young man who truly cared for our pets as if they were his own. He kept us updated, made sure they were well cared for, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs absolutely loved him! We highly recommend Marvin to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure the pets are not just taken care of but also given love,attention and lots of protection including keeping them well entertained as well.

A typical day

As a previous dog owner I know to go out and explore the neighborhood and the local park. I also understand the need to stimulate their mental capability with fun games such as catch and playing with other variety of toys and then finally giving them a treat to improve confidence and good behavior.
