I’ve been an animal lover all of my life, growing up with dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs…even ducks, chickens and Scottish Highlander cows! I can’t walk down the street without making “awww” sounds at every dog I see. Caring for pets allows me to work with animals every day, as well as people who value my contribution to their lives.

And it doesn’t get much better than that!

What My Clients Are Saying…

Marcus is absolutely the best dog walker/sitter I’ve encountered on the west side of LA–and I’ve met many. The minute I met Marcus I knew he was the man for my mr. four legs. Marcus was super friendly and attentive to my dog–and my dog seemed instantly comfortable with him–but what impressed me most and continues to impress me about Marcus is how totally together and professional he is. He is organized, completely on top of details, thoroughly dependable, totally flexible and easy-going, and clearly loves what he does. He is peaceful and caring with my dog. At the same time, he is attentive to my needs–he lets me know when my dog has been returned home and frequently sends me the cutest pictures of him from his walk. In other words, he provides peace of mind for me–and my dog’s tongue is hanging out when he gets home from a walk. You can’t ask for more and I highly recommend Marcus without any hesitation.

I was going away for the day and needed someone I can trust to care for my dog. Marcus was just the man. My dog seemed instantly comfortable with Marcus. He sent pictures and texted as frequently as I wanted to check in and let me know how my dog was doing. He was extremely easy and pleasant to work out a plan with.

I appreciated the experience so much that I have stopped taking my dog to day care and now have Marcus to care for him. I almost did not want to write this review because I am not sure I want to share Marcus with the rest of Santa Monica. The peace of mind knowing my dog is in great hands is really a gift. Thank you Marcus!

I thought nobody could take care of my dogs as I do. Then, I met Marcus and everything changed. If you have a dog or a cat and you need someone to watch them…. HE IS THE ONE!!!! Thank you Marcus for all your dedication and love, Violeta is so happy and we are so grateful!!!!!

Marcus is a gem of a cat sitter. My cats and I highly recommend him. He is clean-cut, courteous, dependable and caring. You can count on Marcus to take outstanding care of your furry family.

I cannot say enough good things about Marcus. I started using him in September and he goes out of his way to do everything asked of him and treats the dogs with very high regard. I have a small dog and a large dog with disabilities and both have been well taken care of. I use Marcus regularly during the week and will be having him for overnights. He always gets back to me right away and has never turned down a request. I have had many other dog walkers and in my mind Marcus is the most conscientious.

Marcus has been a huge help! With our long work days and busy travel schedules it really helps to know that he is there for the dogs!! Super reliable, sends pictures and the boys love him. He takes them on daily walks, gives fresh water, etc.

We’re grateful to have him here for the boys!!

Thank you Marcus … From rocky and slater
