Our dog likes to make a new friend!
Pet care experience
UPDATE: We have taken care of our dog Kinley for the last two years but I stopped Rover during the pandemic. Since we're fully vaccinated now I just started with Rover again so he can make some new friends! I started doing this just because having a dog was always one of my life goals, but I never got around to getting one myself because I just didn't want to leave him or her alone at home while I was working... My wife also likes dogs, but I would be the one responsible for taking care of your dog. In evenings we like to take the dogs for a run around Lake Merritt and sometimes a longer run in weekends!
Reviews
Megatron had a great time staying with Mark for 3 days. Communication was super easy for pickup and drop off and we appreciated that Mark sent many photo updates, took Megatron on walks around the lake, multi-mile nature runs (which is a first for him!), and gave him plenty of exercise. He came back home a happy, relaxed dog which is exactly what we wanted. Thank you!
Mark and Natalie did a great job with Louie today. Appreciated the updates and he even got a run in. Thank you for taking good care of him!
Mark was able to take our dog an additional night on short notice. He has an elevator which is good for our senior dog and is located very close to the lake! Great communication...I would use his services again in the future.
Mark was great! Very communicative and took my dog on many runs and hikes!

Safety, trust & environment
We both work from home and are working in the same room as the dogs so we can keep a close eye on them and take a break once in a while to play with them.

Information Mark B. would like to know about your pet
We like friendly and not aggressive dogs. Other than that I have no real preferences as it is nice to meet new breeds and personalities.
A typical day
I am a runner so can run with the dog around Lake Merritt if he/she likes it... In weekends we can also take him/her for a longer run.

Availability
We are both working from home, so we are fairly flexible in terms of drop-off and pick-up. In weekends we are mostly home unless we are taking the dogs for a run or walk.
