Mark was great with our dog Nimbus! He kept him company through the fireworks on the 4th of July, followed our instructions about food and medication, and nothing was amiss in our house when we returned. Nimbus was calm and relaxed after the stay. Thank you Mark for taking good care of our sweet boy!

Mark was fantastic. Super easy to coordinate with and my dog had a great stay. Will definitely be using Mark again in the future.

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.
