I love animals, especially dogs

Pet care experience

My name is Mark. I have decades of experience with pet sitting, house-sitting, walking dogs and taking care of pets. Most animals love me, even ones that the owner will tell me that they don't like people. Enjoy taking my own dog to the dog park as well as taking her for evening walks before bed. I've decided that it's time for me to offer my services to my neighbors and those around me who need a little extra help. I look forward to helping you take care of your animals. I can care for dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I'm available for Meet-n-Greet to get introduced to you and your pets most evenings in order to get to know me before booking service with me. Just ask. I work full time, from home, on a Monday through Friday schedule. Evenings are available for walking, drop in, and meet and greet appointments. Boarding and Dog sitting can definitely happen during the week, since I can work from my laptop anywhere. I have a nice home, with vinyl floor and area rugs. I have a small fenced yard that wraps around the house, with mostly rock and dirt for landscaping at the moment. My dog is people and dog friendly, although she sometimes feels on guard with male dogs.

I had my husky Aurora stay with Mark for 4 days while I was in school. He kept me updated with pics and videos and I knew she was in good hands! He answers promptly and I would trust him to watch aurora again in the future!

I hired Mark to housesit for 3 nights. I was under the impression after meeting/greet he would be at my house aside from his day job and maybe errands. My dogs are not used to being alone for 14+ hours and that is exactly what happened. He did the bare minimum which was sleeping at my house and “checking in” 1-2 times a day. When I told him my dogs were barking and howling at the house the second night I was gone he told me they were happy and fine then proceeded to not return until 10pm. He seems to have a lot going on in his life to where he could not focus on the job I hired him for. I’m just happy my dogs were alive upon my return.

Mark B. Is a kind and caring man. He loves all animals but has a particular love of dogs and dogs love him. He often cares for my Chihuahua, Benny. Benny enjoys walks with Mark and trips to the dog park. Mark even re trained Benny to sit still while waiting for his harness. Mark is also responsible and trustworthy. He follows my instructions and takes good care of my property while caring for my dog. Mark is my number one choice for dog sitting. I hope he becomes yours to.

Please let me know how your dog interacts with other adults, kids, and dogs ahead of time as we will likely come across some of these on a walk ;)

We go for walks at the park nearby, play with toys and wrestle in the house, as well as cuddles if they like that. Potty breaks outside can be scheduled or as needed, depending on your pets' needs.
