Will Treat Your Pet As My Own

Huge dog lover! I’ve had multiple dogs my entire life and ran a successful dog sitting service with my wife for 5 years. I no longer have any pets of my own and would love to fill the house with yours. Your dogs will be at home here with full run of the house. I live in a quiet community with a beautiful yard on a duck pond. We'll take long walks, sit outside, play with toys and enjoy cuddle time on the couch or bed. I'd be happy to take them to the local dog park to get their energy out. I’ll send plenty of videos and pictures so you can see your baby while you’re apart. I'm now retired and will be home most of the time, outside of pickleball at my community club house and short errands. Would love to meet your puppy or chat details about their stay.

Thank you, Mark!! Great first experience with Mark sitting for my pup. He was so good with my Petey and sent me photos almost every day. I was very pleased with his responsiveness to my inquiries, as well as the care he obviously gave Petey. Thanks, Mark, your care for Petey was very much appreciated! I would definitely use Mark's service again!

We were a little nervous leaving our 11 year old Yorkie with a new sitter, but Mark was absolutely amazing. From our initial “meet and greet”, we felt really comfortable with Mark’s demeanor and professionalism. Our Rosie was very comfortable at his home within minutes of arriving during the meet and greet. Mark was very attentive, patient and sweet towards our Rosie. Mark kept us informed with daily photos and/or videos plus texts/updates of our Rosie while we were away on vacation. We highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for an amazing sitter. Thank you again for taking exceptional care of our Rosie!🐶

Mark was great. This was Loki’s first time away from home and despite not knowing this new environment, Mark was very understanding

Mark was a great dog sitter. He was kind and understanding of my mini golden doodle, Axl, needs. As soon as Mark met Axl, he began playing with him. Mark kept me informed with lots of photos and videos of my pup. They went on long walks and had play time, too. Couldn’t have been happier with this dog sitting experience! I highly recommend Mark. We will be back again. Thank you.

Safety, trust & environment

I will take them on walks around the neighborhood and play with toys. I can also provide visits to the local dog park upon request.

A typical day

Typical day starts with a long walk around the neighborhood and breakfast followed by playtime. We'll take a trip to the park to play with other dogs and play ball or come back to the house for playtime here. I'm home throughout the day so lots of time to play or snuggle depending on what your dog likes!

I'd love to know more about your dog to make their stay as comfortable and fun as possible for you both. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences I should be aware of.
