Lifelong Pet Lover with Years of Experience Hi, I’ve been around pets my entire life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I started walking and feeding my family dogs at just 7 years old, twice a day, making sure they had plenty of playtime and fresh air in our grassy yard. From playful puppies to gentle giants, I’ve handled dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m confident with potty training and establishing healthy routines for any breed. Since I was 15, I’ve also cared for cats, both my family’s and my friends’. I keep litter boxes clean and ensure they stay off surfaces where they might break or damage anything, all while making sure they feel safe and cared for. Whether it’s a long walk, a cozy cuddle, or responsible in-home care, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’d love the chance to care for your furry friend.

Marvin was kind and provided photo updates when requested, and my dog appeared happy at pickup, which I appreciated. However, there were several issues during this stay such as following care plan. I believe Marvin may be a better fit for owners with more flexible care requirements, but I would encourage future clients to clearly discuss and confirm any non-negotiable instructions before booking.

Dog Walking • Jun 18, 2026

This was our first walk with Marvin. My dog is an (almost 4 year old) 85 pound retired racing greyhound. Marvin was prompt, courteous, and professional. He did a fantastic job and even ran with him! I am sure Achilles loved that part of it!! Marvin is a ‘needle in the haystack’ find! We will be using him from now on. Do not hesitate to give him a try. I highly recommend Marvin for any kind of service through Rover!! 😃👍

Marvin kept me updated with photos throughout Buddy's stay. I’m sure Buddy felt like it was a home away from home. Thanks Marvin.

Safety, trust & environment

Comfortable, Spacious, and Pet-Friendly Home Your pet will feel right at home here. I have a large backyard and a spacious home with plenty of room for dogs to play, explore, and relax. While the yard is not fenced, I always supervise outdoor time to ensure pets stay safe and secure. If you use training tools like an e-collar and provide them, I’m happy to use them responsibly and only according to your guidance. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just like family.

Pets

A typical day
