I coach people from home, which allows me to offer excellent care for dogs. Truth be told, I have a special affinity for dogs, often finding more joy in their company than with most people. Whether it's a day of daycare, a weekend getaway or an extended stay, you can rest assured that your dog will be well taken care of. Think of it as a little doggie babysitting service, where your furry friend will receive all the one to one (or 2/3 if you have a family) attention and care they need. I NEVER have dogs from different homes at the same time.

My bungalow is nestled in a peaceful residential area just outside of Maidstone. It's part of a gated development with a lovely grassy area so is very safe and secure. Here's the best part: I never have dogs from different families at the same time. This means your furry friend will have my undivided attention. I strive to provide a peaceful and relaxed environment for your dog. Since I live alone, it will just be me and your dog(s) sharing the space. If your dog's health permits, I'll make sure they get extra walks. I am quite active myself and I believe they deserve a little vacation too! When it comes to food, I always stick to what you provide, unless we've agreed. Dogs have sensitive stomachs, so I want to avoid any tummy troubles. Even if your dog has had some behavioral challenges, I'm willing to consider them. Just be honest with me about their needs and tendencies. I'm familiar with how separation anxiety can manifest in dogs, and being prepared leads to a happier pup. There are plenty of outdoor options nearby, with a huge woods just across the road and Mote Park within a ten-minute walk. And I must admit, I love taking dogs to the beach, no matter the weather! Speaking of the outdoors, my small garden serves as a convenient toileting area and I often leave the door open to let in some fresh air so they can chill outside or inside. I am not a stickler for rules when it comes to furniture or beds. Your furry friend can have the full run of the bungalow – it's their home away from home. So, if this sounds like the perfect place for your dog, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Information Mark A. would like to know about your pet
Meet and greet is essential. It's beneficial for everyone involved. You need to see the environment that the dog is staying, the dog can have a good sniff around and we can make sure there are all good vibes. PLEASE ALSO NOTE - meet and greets are always subjects change as I may have last minute bookings which will always take priority however, will always hold the dates until I have had the chance to see you on a first come first serve basis.
A typical day
I am fortunate to have Mote Park right on my doorstep, there are acres of woods just across the road. With my trusty car, I love exploring these outdoor spaces with dogs. We often go on trips to the beach and enjoy the beauty of nature together.

Pet care experience
Welcome!! I am Mark, a single guy, lives alone and I has a love for dogs and it turns out I am quite a natural 💅 I work from home so spend most of my working life in zoom calls so having a furry companion works for me. Please know if your dog is particularly reactive and barks for no reason they will definitely not be suitable as my main job is my priority however after having over 70 dogs I’ve never had an issue because usually a dog will bark for attention, food or the toilet!! When I commit to looking after your dog, they are looked after and very rarely left as I work from home. In essence they will be my ‘partner on crime’ for the duration of their stay. When I commit to looking after your dog, they are my priority - they will never be left for longer than an hour, that would be just for a supermarket shop, if they really cannot be left, we have Deliveroo! For anyone new to the app 1) If there are any accidents that happen whilst in my care your dog is fully covered under the insurance of Rover up to £60,000. 2) The app hold the payment until two days after your dog is collected If you're interested, feel free to check out the reviews from satisfied pet owners who have entrusted their furry friends to me.

Finding Mark has been an absolute game changer for my family. We thought holidays might be a thing of the past for us, because we didn’t think there was anyone we’d trust enough to leave our Ralphie with, but then we found Mark. From the very first meet he was calm, laid back and patient and Ralphie picked up on that and took to him straight away. He knew I was apprehensive leading up to the holiday and made me feel so at ease. Then once the time came to finally leave Ralphie, he couldn’t have been in safer hands. Mark was brilliant. He kept us updated all the time with videos and messages and we could see just how happy and content Ralphie was. Not only will we be using Mark again, we will be recommending him to anyone and everyone. Thank you again Mark, it made our holiday knowing how happy and safe Ralphie was. We could not have asked for anything more.
I don’t think there are words enough to express how amazing Mark was with Obi. He was amazing with updates, obi has the best time with Mark, had his own little holiday. Couldn’t recommend using Mark enough.
Mark A. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Our huskita Ace stayed with Mark for over a week while we were away and I’ve got to say how amazing Mark was at taking care of Ace. The love, time and care that went into making him feel comfortable and at home, we couldn’t have asked for more while we were away. Mark sent us regular updates of Ace, photos and videos, he also asked how Ace likes things and his schedule so he could cater to Aces needs the way we would. 100% would recommend and will definitely be using Mark again as he generally cares for the animals he looks after as if they are his own.
