Availability

I currently have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted with reasonable scheduling and communication (usually a week advanced notice is preferred). I typically make time to walk my pets in the early mornings/late afternoons/nights and allow the dogs to roam the yard or come relax inside as they please and depending on weather conditions.

Pet care experience

Have experience mainly with bully breed type dogs 100lbs & under as well as cats, lizards, & fish. My experiences have been mainly with rescues. I have helped find loving homes for dogs as well as caring for and rehoming cats. Everyday is a learning experience and enjoy creating bonds with new fur friends!

Mark truly loves dogs+cats, and you can see it in how he dedicates his home and time to them. Our pup was given her own room and space to board in, as well as a back yard to roam. Communication with us constant and efficient. Our boarding request was last minute, and he did everything possible to make sure our pup would be a good fit and boarded comfortably (which takes a lot of work for a large working breed dog), he was so thorough it lifted a lot of weight off my shoulders. i was also happy to learn he works on certifications of animal behavior. We received photos and videos without having to request them. Mark just really cares, and will work to make parties on all sides comfortable. it was all really appreciated

Mark was fantastic! My cat loved him so much! I came back and she was very happy. He followed my instructions super well and always sent videos and pictures with his daily update. Definitely will be rebooking!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
