Comfy Pet Home Close to Airport

Pet care experience

Experienced Pet Sitter close to PDX Airport welcomes your beloved companion to a quiet, relaxed environment in NE Parkrose Heights. Your dog will receive my full attention and calm assertiveness with plenty of affection...and treats! Let me assure your peace of mind leaving your dog in my care. I typically take only 2-3 dogs at a time, so it's important that your dog be sociable. I cannot promise yours will be the only one in my care, but if you have a pack of 2 or more I can likely accommodate you. Please contact me with questions or to set up a meeting. About this sitter: Hi, I'm Mark and I've been an animal lover all my life, having cared for many dogs and cats since I was a child. I take pride in being absolutely reliable, responsible and trustworthy in your home, just as I do in my own. Since your beloved dog is a unique being like the rest of us, I stay sensitive to their individual needs of diet, exercise and sociability. Once they understand I am the pack leader, they can relax, play and enjoy themselves. They have all adapted pretty quickly to my style of caring, and this ensures a stress-free stay for the entire pack. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to meeting with you very soon! Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs in my home since childhood and they have always been a loved member of the family About my yard My backyard is about 50' x 50' fenced, secure area with run and play area under large trees My experience administering medication I have given insulin shots and tested blood sugar level for diabetic dogs

Mark was such an awesome and caring dog sitter for my pup (in which case, it was the first time for her being cared for by anyone else aside from me). He was very swift in response, provided plenty of photos/videos throughout, and made sure that my dog remained happy and safe while I was out of town. In addition, he made sure to inquire about any particular needs that my dog needed as well. I would most definitely highly recommended!!

Our Velcro dogs happily stay with Mark. It’s clearly home away from home for them. We’re so grateful!
