FootscrayAbout Marco
Hi! I'm Marco, I'm 31 years old and I'm a caring animal lover who loves spending time with pets and taking care of them. In my daily life, I'm a French and Spanish teacher and, as an educator that worked with children, teenagers and adults, I know about being patient, empathetic and responsible.
I'm originally from Argentina and with my family we own 1 dog and 2 cats at home and they are the loves of my life. Unfortunately, homeless pets are quite common in my country. But since I was a teenager, my parents and I rescued several animals (mostly cats, dogs and birds). We fed them, took them to the vet when needed and found them a safe place to live. This includes one of my cats who was a newborn when I found her. She was abandoned with her siblings in a little box on the street.
I've also petsat several times for cats and dogs of friends and family. Many times, I stayed at some of my friends' houses to take care of their dogs while they were away. I usually took the dogs to the park, managed their meals and did their essential grooming. I also made daily visits to see the cats of friends and family, cleaning their litters and playing with them.
As you can expect, I have a lot of experience with pets and I love being around them. It's the love and worry for the animals what motivates me to be a pet sitter and why I couldn't be happier to offer my services on Pawshake! At the moment, I usually have plenty of availability (morning, afternoon or evening). And this is what you can expect from me for each type of service:
> Dog walking - to keep your dog(s) active and healthy
> Home visits - to keep your pet(s) happy, safe and help you with the housekeeping
> House sitting - to keep your pet(s) happy and safe, monitor your house and help you with the housekeeping
I hope to hear from you and know your beloved pet soon!

Reviews
This was the second time Marco has looked after our fur babies. Big difference was we asked him to house sit for two weeks as we went on holidays overseas.
There is a lot of trust you need to have with someone to hold not only the keys to your home but also the wellbeing of your most precious. Marco is this person. He not only looked after Pablo, Hugo and Sophia he looked after our home as though it was his own. We're very grateful, as are our fur babies. Marco is highly recommended.
Marco stayed at our house for two nights and three days, looking after our fur babies as we took a short break away. He was excellent, regularly keeping us updated, taking the babies for walks and playing with them. He also left our house immaculately clean and tidy. You can't ask for more than that.
What was most telling: two nights after we got back, the door to the bedroom Marco stayed in was closed - Sophia was sitting outside asking to be let in so she could see and play with her new friend.
We'd have Marco come back and look after our fur babies anytime.
