Full-time Belly Scratcher

Pet care experience

Communication is key! I've had dog, cats and other pets all my life and know that each pup/kitty has their own personality and needs. I'll work with you and your dog/cat to make sure they get the proper love and care they deserve! Every puppy/kitty parent and dog/cat have their own routines and schedules. Since I am a full time dog walker/pet sitter I will work out what fits best for you and your pups/kitties lives. Whether it be a quick walk, a run around the dog park, or just dropping in to scratch some bellies I'm available for it all! Nothing makes me feel better than knowing you are happy as a puppy/kitty parent and seeing your fur family happy as well! I look forward to meeting you and your doggies and kitties!

We have had multiple great experiences with Marvin as a sitter for our cat Callie. He's someone we trust with our girl. Five Stars!

Safety, trust & environment

Generally I ask the puppy/kitty parents what makes the pets most comfortable in/around their home! Favorite spots/streets; what streets or houses to avoid or if they chase any pesky squirrels!

Information Marvin L. would like to know about your pet

- Do they play well with other - Any dietary restrictions - General route/area/dog park they frequent - Are they allowed off leash - What time of day you prefer walks/visits

A typical day

Generally I like to wrestle with some pups to make sure they are comfortable with me and they know if they get scared of something outside (construction, ambulance, traffic, etc.) They can run to me to feel protected. I want all pets to know I'm there to help so I like to take things slow to get to know everyone! Once we are comfortable I like to walk around the neighborhood and maybe head to a park and get some energy out.
