Pet care experience
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 is an excellent sitter. He is communicative, accommodating and we trust him completely. I have had nothing but a great experience from the few times we have booked with Mark. We will continue to use him for future and I will always recommend him.
Our Summer girl always comes home happy and healthy from Mark’s! He is the GOAT pet sitter of Wallingford!!
Thank you to Mark for the last minute accommodation. Mark was very responsive. Our pup, Denver, was cared for.
Mark and his family were great! They accepted a pretty last minute, long-term booking for our pup. We were looking for an alternative to our standard boarding facility given the length of our trip and having Copper in a home-stay environment could not have worked out better for him. As first time Rover users, Mark was extremely communicative and helpful during the process. Will definitely be booking with Mark again, and would highly recommend him to other pup families.
Mark has watched our high energy golden retriever puppy a few times now and does a wonderful job! Communication is top notch. Highly recommended!
We always know our dogs will be well cared for and safe - Mark is very kind and accommodating.

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!
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsNo females in heatMark can host up to 30 pets per night
- Basically we have very few concerns. Our biggest one is how the dog is around us (especially kids) and how they are around other dogs. Other then that we normally just go with the flow.
