Information Mark A. would like to know about your pet

I prefer socialized dogs who get along with other dogs and have no behavioral issues toward other dogs. Let me know any way I can help.

We wake up and have play time outside or in depending on the weather. We then have breakfast and play again before noon nap time. After nap time we play and have a treat. Play some more up to dinner. Then small nap time and treats before the end of the day.

Hugs Kisses and LOTS of Love

Pet care experience

I have a very big heart for animals. It is an innate skill brought down from my mom. She would rescue and care for any animal she found. Needless to say, we had a lot of pets during my childhood. In the last 5 years I have rescued my two boys Axel and Brutus. They have become best friends and love when they get play friends to visit. They love sharing and playing and have been very well socialized with other dogs, I have a large fenced back yard which they have full access to. When we have friends at the home i stay with the dogs at all times to ensure they are all getting exercise and having fun. We have nap time daily where the dogs have choices of beds couches laps and floors, whichever the prefer. I can handle medications, feedings and special requests. Give us a chance! Your only regret may be that your fur baby may not want to leave! :) I do only watch short dogs. (Small)

Both our dogs love going to Mark’s house! He is always willing to take our two pups, even last minute. Such an enormous relief and blessing to have such a wonderful dog sitter!

Mark is amazing and Millie loves going to spend time with him and all her furry buddies. He gives lots of updates, and I know she's in great hands when she's there.

As always, Mark is the best with our dogs! Love getting the photo and video updates while we are away. The dogs always come back happy and well taken care of.
