Live, Laugh, and Love Dogs

Pet care experience

Dogs are more than just pets. They are our companions and the cutest members of our family. Our furry family members deserve the utmost care and attention, and that is why I have made it my goal to be available to those who need a sitter, walker, and friend for their dogs when they are away or busy. I have owned a dog nearly my entire life and learned how to bond, train, and care for these loving creatures for over two decades. My primary skill when caring for dogs is my ability to anticipate their needs as well as be aware of their signals. Love, attention, and exercise are the keys to keeping dogs happy and healthy, and I excel in all these areas.

Mark did a wonderful job. He was very punctual and very friendly and upbeat. The dogs instantly loved him.

Mark regularly looks after my black lab Lucy and is one of the best dog sitters I have ever had. He is extremely energetic and bubbly and really brings out the puppy side of Lucy. Not only does he have a lot of fun with my dog but he also provides excellent care. With regular walks, cuddles, proper feeding and a lot of love, I would highly recommend Mark to look after anyone’s dog. He is even good with cats too and will leave no mess if staying over. Overall, the most fun yet responsible dog sitter I have come across.

Mark has a very caring personality and an innate ability to connect with animals of all kinds. His enthusiasm and love for dogs (especially pugs) is inspiring!

Mark loves dogs and seems to have an instant rapport with almost all the dogs he meets. My dog is very shy of any people not in her pack, but even she warmed up to Mark and grew to love him. When at the dog park, many dogs run with excitement to greet Mark. Mark is a responsible and friendly guy who works hard and is punctual. He will love on your dog and take good care of your fur baby!

Information Mark A. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog requires a leash at all times and if they respond promptly when being called. I would also like to know if they are allergic to anything or have any sore joints that would make certain terrains or activities non-ideal for them. Additionally I would like to know their regular routine so I could continue that to the best of my abilities. I have no preferences for breeds, but would prefer dogs who are not aggressive.

A typical day

We will go to the beach and dog friendly parks and outdoor areas for walks. Activities such as fetch, or tug-of-war, and chasing are several ways I like to have fun with dogs. I also will provide lots of back and tummy scratches for all the dogs I care for if that is something they enjoy.
