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.

This is my second time hiring Marvin as my dogs sitter. Both times my dog was in good spirits when i picked her up from Marvin. He does stay in contact, provides photos, has a very easy going demeanor. He was great with administering her daily meds, and Mimi seems to like his care . Thank you Marvin!

Marvin did a great job with Stormy! He kept me updated the entire time, which gave me peace of mind. Stormy came back happy and well cared for, and it was clear she had a great walk. Marvin is reliable, communicative, and I would definitely book with him again!

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.
