Availability

I work as a freelancer in media and I do editing from home, which means my schedule changes on a weekly/monthly basis, based on demand and work. However, even when/if working from home, I’ll only take on pet sitting responsibilities if I can assure to look after them properly and give them the time and love they need.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets coming over to stay with me (especially for the first time) will be given a special treatment to make sure they can settle in with as much ease as possible. I treat them as if they are on holiday, so their comfort, safety and wellbeing is of paramount importance for me. Unfortunately, I don’t have a garden, but the Shawlands neighbourhood offers plenty of exciting places to visit, and smells to smell.

Information Mark B. would like to know about your pet

Anything you think is relevant for me to know; do-s and don't-s, command words and any unique idiosyncrasies your animal companion has. Treat policies too, unless you want me to spoil your dog completely!

A typical day

With the fantastic weather we've been having recently, I would most definitely take your pup to a nearby park and let them explore all the new smells in the neighbourhood. I live within a walking distance of Queen’s park, Pollok Park and Auldhouse park, each offering a unique experience, terrain and set of smells to your pup. Maybe we can see how they feel about the Mighty Highland Cows? 🐄 Whenever we are not out and about though, I would make sure to shower them with love and affection. And scratches. Lots of scratches. ( Or space - if that’s what they need! )

Pet care experience

I have discovered my animal-whispering powers from an early age. I have a special bond with animals: I am no Disney princess, but they seem to like me in general…! Might have to do with the fact that they know I’m on their side (I am vegan, for the animals ✊🏻). I have been most of my friends go-to person to ask for helping with their pet needs over the last 5 years in Glasgow. Being an extremely compassionate individual, I will make sure to do everything in my power to provide the best time for your animal companion, and give them the care, love and attention they deserve and need.

Mark was great. It was a last minute booking and Mark happily helped out. Freya seemed to have enjoyed herself!

Mark looked after our 2 Labradors in our home when we were on holiday for 5 days. We arranged a visit in advance and Mark was very comfortable around them even when 1 dog was a little nervous and barky. We received regular updates and pics from Mark and the dogs were very spoiled. Mark was very respectful of our home and we came home to a very tidy house. Would 100% recommend Mark to take care of the fur babies, we saw on an outdoor camera their disappointment when he left!
