About: I've been taking care of friends' dogs for the past five years and enjoy giving the animals the needed exercise as well. Along given affection It's a top priority to make sure that the animals get the proper attention that they need and make sure that they are as comfortable as possible. I treat clients' pets according to the owners' instructions and make sure that their environment is safe and that the animals are at ease and relaxed.

Exactly what you want from a pet sitter!!!!”

They also earn a treat after a bath, nail clipping, grooming, and after I brush their teeth. If it is cold outside I put sweaters on them before they exit the house and watch through the window.

“Mark has been sitting for my dogs for 5 years now. They are both active large breeds that love to play. They give love and sometime it's a lot, but it never phases mark. He always takes the time to play with them, make sure they have food and water as well as point out any issues. One of the dogs has a hip issue that flares up sometimes and Mark always lets me know if there are any issues he notices when sitting. The dogs love gettin to be at home and know "uncle Mark" is coming to play!”
