Highlights
Pet care experience
Former K-9 SAR handler here.
I’m a lifelong dog owner, with four Siberian Huskies, as well as German Shepard, Lab and Rottweiler mix’s to my credit. I’m also a former K-9 Search And Rescue handler through the National Association for Search And Rescue and team training officer. I’ve volunteered for several local oranizations such as Fur Kids, Mush Rescue and Canine Cellmates in multiple capacities, such as foster, trainer, handler and photographer. I’ve been asked to foster the “troubled” pets because of my patience and ability to communicate and understand them. I practice positive reinforcement in my training methods, and have studied dog’s communication also known as calming signals. I also pet sit and walk all of my friend’s, friends of friend’s, and family’s pets. I didn’t choose this line of work; all my friends and family did.

Safety, trust & environment
When sitting with any dog I find out ahead of time whether their pet is an escape artist or home body so I’ll know what to expect as I open the door. I also inspect the premises of a fenced in yard for any possibility of an escape.
Ratings and reviews
I had a great experience with Mark ! My dog can be a little sleepy during the day due to her medication, but she seemed very comfortable and well cared for. I appreciated the updates and attention she received. It was clear she was relaxed and in good hands. Communication was excellent, and I felt confident knowing she was being looked after with kindness and patience. I would definitely book again and highly recommend Mark's services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my little Lulu ! 🐾
Mark was great with our fur baby. She settled in with very quickly. We came home to a happy clean house.
Mark was very kind and attentive to my tiny little older dog. She was nauseated one day while I was gone, and he was great with communication and with administering the medication we have on hand for when this happens She was very settled and calm when I got home.
Mark is amazing with our big dog! Thank you for taking such good care of him while we’re away. We know he’s in great hands with you.
Mark did an excellent watch over my two pups for an extended weekend. He is very reliable for the big energetic dogs and has no problem with what some people call, my boisterous German Shepherd. He provided assurance and photos that they were in good hands, and left the house in excellent condition.
10 stars! Mark was great with my ultra anxious dog. He sent pictures and videos so we could see her on vacation. Will definitely be using him in the future.
