Although I don't have a vet tech certification, I have 2 years experience working at a vet clinic, and experience giving injections, pills, and other medical care to pets. I'm currently between jobs and spend most days in the home or running errands. There will be plenty of playtime and attention given to your pet!

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I have over 30 years of experience providing attentive, loving, and reliable pet care for all kinds of animals, from playful puppies to wise senior pets. What sets me apart is the calm, intuitive approach I bring to each animal's unique personality and needs. I have hands-on experience with: Puppy training – including basic commands, crate training, and leash manners. Senior pet care – gentle handling, administering medications, and understanding mobility or dietary needs. High-energy breeds – I know how to keep them mentally and physically engaged. Shy or rescue animals – I give them the time and space to feel safe and comfortable. Beyond just feeding and walking, I prioritize emotional well-being. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, belly rubs, or just a calm presence, I’m here to provide consistent and loving care—like you never left. If you're looking for someone who treats your pet like family and pays attention to every little detail, I’d love to help. I am an entrepreneur, I make my own schedule and I work from home. I am available anytime 7 days a week, 24 hours a day to take care of your pet. I have a fenced in yard for your dog to run and play safely outside. I have a large indoor dog kennel inside the den of our home that is cool in the summer, it is climate controlled with Heat and AC. I also have a large Dog crate available if your dog prefers a cozier private place to rest. Of course your dog will be allowed to enjoy our home freely with supervision. I know every dog is different, and I will do my best to accommodate their needs. I have a very friendly and social German Shepherd named Duke who would love to meet any play with your dog if allowed.

“Mark does a wonderful job watching my young puppy Tubby. Highly recommend his services as he is very accommodating and communicative. Your pets will be in great hands with Mark!”

We spend a lot of time outside and almost always have our dog with us. Yours will fit right in and enjoy a lot of play time!
