About Marco

Professional service & expert with old, sick, and rescued dogs 😃

I help improve the social behaviour of your doggie

I do also petsit cats 🐈

Hoi! Hi! Hola! I am Marco from Peru, I am here in The Netherlands for more than 8 years and I was living with my dog Jagger till he passed away in 2021. Jagger was a rescued dog who was traumatised and for instance had trouble to socialise with other dogs. During time he became super social with other dogs and learned to follow my commands.

At the end of Jagger's life he had many diseases so he needed special care and for that I learned to treat a sick dog. I decided to use all my extensive knowledge and experience with Jagger and his social adaptation and many sicknesses he had to become a pet sitter that provides special care to old, sick, or rescued dogs.

I learned to make special diets, to provide medicines, supplements, to know when to take him to the vet, to talk with vets, to doubt about what the vet tells me. Also, I took very special care of Jagger as he was old, and I know the struggles of every old dog for example, the steep stairs of buildings, the type of floor, the temperature, the noise etc etc etc. Also, I am a very good reader when a dog doesn't like something, is in pain, wants to go outside for needs, or is uncomfortable.

I have plenty of room in my house, near 90m2 and balcony in front of the Ij waters.

I have no problem dealing with any type of dog, any breed, any age, or other disabilities. if he/she is sick I can provide medicines, supplements, pills, etc etc.

I will provide you pics and videos all time. Also, I have a car with all implements for transportation (if needed)

I am happy to meet you and your baby dog for an introductory meeting where you can get to know me and see if there is fit.

Important: During high season December 15 till January 06 applies an extra daily fee.

*****Currently living in Ijburg - Amsterdam in a dog-friendly area with a lot of fenced and green spaces - i offer free pick-up and return with my car within Amsterdam from a stay of 4 days **********

Doggy Day Care
Haroon, 2024-08-05

Marco really helped us out by taking care of our dachshund Pablo for a full day. It was his first time with Marco, and even though I was an anxious and worried dog parent (haha), everything went great. Pablo really felt comfortable with Marco, and got along with the other dogs that were there too. Marco communicated very clearly, and also sent us photos and videos throughout the day, which was comforting. I would definitely book Marco again!

Dog Boarding
Airat, 2024-07-16

Marco felt like a godsend for us. We were super nervous to leave Alba, who not only has separation anxiety, but also had never been left with anyone else since we got her. She is also super reserved and shy with strangers, so we didn't know how she was going to react to an unknown person in an foreign environment.

But all our worries went away ever since we had meet & greet. Marco quickly established trust and made Alba feel safe and comfortable. Once the actual stay started, he kept us updated with photos and videos, every day. I can tell that by the end of her stay Alba was happy and relaxed, and honestly I'm not quite sure if she even wanted to leave Marco's place. He is a fantastic dog sitter, knows dogs and we highly recommend him for anyone.

Thank you, Marco!
