Let your pup be part of our family!
Hi! I'm Mark and my wife Kate and my four boys (Jeremy, Thomas,Hunter, & Matty) would love to watch your dog(s). We have a great deal of experience when it comes to dogs and in all honesty we can't get enough doggie time! On a personal note we are a family who loves being together and doing everything together. Unfortunately over the past few years we haven't been able to take our dogs on vacation with us and finding a safe, comfortable, and affordable place for them to stay has always added an extra stress that really shouldn't be there. On our last drive back from Florida in the spring we all talked about how we would love to start helping others out when it comes to dog watching and I am very proud to say that since joining Rover we have just fallen in love with this opportunity and have enjoyed meeting all these new fur babies as well as the owners! When we go away we expect our dogs to be treated like little princes so rest assure that when you drop your dog(s) off they will be treated the same! The best thing about having a family is there is someone almost always home so please and plenty of us to show some extra love. Whether your dog(s) are here for a few hours or a few weeks just know that they will all be treated like a member of our family. We try to make the dog(s) as stress free and enjoyable as possible and like to make it a vacation for them as well! We also like to treat our furry friends to a trip to the dog park and even over to Wentworths for ice cream (they make a K-9 crunch) on those hot summer days! While away we can text photos, face time, or do whatever you need us to do in order to give you peace of mind! YES we can pick up and/or drop off! No pick up or drop off is to far and we usually can work something out. Our goal is to make you as comfortable as possible before you book with us. So if you have any questions at all or you'd like to set up a meet & greet please let me know. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you! Mark & Kate **PLEASE NOTE** - At this time we are not allowing visitors into our house. We have no problems with sending photos of the inside, but we want to stay as safe as possible. Besides running the boys to school, work, or football practice I am usually home all day. So unless the weather doesn't cooperate we are outside playing most of the day! We do have a fenced in yard so the dogs can enjoy running and playing off leash. Our house is also very dog friendly and they are allowed on furniture and our beds. At this time I am a stay at home dad. So with the exception of bringing the boys to/from school I am usually home. Thanks I have a fenced in backyard that the dogs can enjoy playing in as well as a smaller fenced off area where the dogs can play (its paved) when things are too muddy.

Ratings and reviews
Mark and his family were very helpful with my best buddy Cooper. I did a trial run for a few hours before committing to a longer stay; and Cooper was well cared for and happy when I picked him up. I plan on using his services again soon.
Mark has been an excellent dog sitter for my dog, Milo. He is very flexible and responsive, which makes scheduling easy and stress-free. Most importantly, he treats Milo with a lot of care and attention, and I always feel confident that Milo is in good hands when he’s with him. I really appreciate the peace of mind he provides and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Mark and his family provide a wonderful home for your pups. Highly recommend!
Can’t say enough great things about Mark and Kate! They always take great care of our two chocolate labs and we never need to worry when going away. Always willing to work with your travel schedule too. Our youngest lab celebrated a birthday during our last trip and Mark treated our girls to a special k9 ice cream treat, just like if they would’ve been at home!
Mark has been watching my dog since he was a puppy. We’ve used him for the last four years. He and his family love animals and make their guests feel right at home.
Great communication, punctual and dependable. Will definitely use again.

A typical day
We don't have a shortage of toys in the yard so the dogs have plenty to play with! Fetch is my game and normally we enjoy burning energy racing back and forth after the ball. On hot days we set up the sprinkler so the dogs can play but yet stay cool!
