I'm retired from full time work and only work a few hours early in the mornings to keep me busy so dog walking will fit nicely into my day. I love the outdoors and nothing ages me happier than having my boys with me.

Safety, trust & environment

I won't be taking on pet sitting in my home as I have my boys with me and will always walk peoples dogs separately from my own. I will make sure I am fully aware of owners requirements and obtain full information on health and behaviour before undertaking any walking role and carry out a home visit for a meet and greet. I'll also provide owners with text and photo updates to put their minds at ease

Your pets safety and happiness is my priority

Pet care experience

I've been caring for my own dogs for over 25 years and have recently returned to the UK from living abroad with our two adopted boys, Bruno and Alfie, who we found living on the street to give them a new life. I come from a family of dog lovers and my sister is also a registered dog sitter on this application. Whilst living abroad I would walk our neighbours boy and girl and also pet sit while they were away. I have a good eye in spotting behaviour and mood changes in dogs and always put there welfare and safety first.

Mark is amazing with our two border collies. He is kind and firm and our two dogs absolutely love their walks with him. I cannot recommend Mark highly enough.

Mark is very professional and works well with anxious border collies. From day one, he put our minds at ease. I would recommend Mark to others needing their doggies to be cared for in the area.

My dog suffered with severe anxiety issues and Mark was the only person I would trust to look after him which he did on numerous occasions. He has a great understanding of dogs , can read their body language and behaviour, and he always treated my beloved collie with supreme sensitivity patience and kindness. He has a wealth of experience with a variety of different breeds and I would not hesitate to recommend him .Thank you Mark for everything you did for my collie. You always gave me peace of mind knowing that he was safe and happy in your care .
