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) Dachsunds Shih Tzu size

Mark is a fantastic pet sitter. He. watches our dogs in his home where the dogs have a huge room full of couches, chairs, large bay window for the dogs to look out they sit on the back of the couch, plus many dog beds and blankets for everyone to sleep on. There is also a large backyard for everyone to roam around and play together. It’s obvious Mark loves dogs and enjoys opening his home to them as soon as you meet him. We highly recommend him to watch your fur babies, you won’t be disappointed

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
