Pet care experience

Hearty, consistent, caring.

I have been around dogs my entire life, starting when my mom and I rescued a Corgi when I was ten years old. In College, I adopted a German/ Sheppard Pit Bull Mix named ACE and he taught me a lot about taking care of animals on my own and growing as a human being. Not just walks, but attention, exercise, discipline, and sacrifice 24/7. I am a genuine, reliable person that has a lot of free time as a hockey broadcaster in my summers and I want to help you take care of your dog in a loving, reliable, and most importantly flexible way for you or your family. I live in Naperville, IL and willing to accommodate close to 10 miles:)

Mark was so great with our dog, Kenny. He kept Kenny on schedule and made him feel right at home - he had a bed set up for him. Mark took Kenny on daily walks, which I know our dog enjoys. He kept us updated daily with pictures. Highly recommend!

Mark was so good caring for our older, needy dog. They had lots of fun, and he was excellent following our instructions and sent pictures every day. I hope to book him again soon.

This was out first time leaving Denver with Mark this weekend. We are very excited and happy with the way he cared for Denver. They took walks, went to the dog park, and got lots of play time in. We recieved photos and updates while we were away. Mark and Denver seemed to get along great. When we got her back she definitely seemed like a happy, but tired pup. Mark was a great Rover and we recommend to anyone to his services and we will book again. ?

Mark was great with my two German Shepherds. He was enthusiastic and connected well with them. Definitely calling in him again.

Mark has loved dogs his whole life and taken great care of our family dogs for years. He is fun, energetic, reliable and trustworthy. He misses having a canine companion now and he will love being a dog sitter through Rover.com.

Mark is one of the most compassionate, loving animal owners I know. His whole life, Mark has lived with animals and has always had a passion for caring for them. He has taken care of many different critters, both big and small. Mark and I both took care of a dog for a year and a half and every night our Pup greeted him by jumping on him and giving him a big kiss. He truly loved Mark. I can guarantee you that Mark will be a fantastic sitter for your pet.

As long as the dog doesn’t bite , that’s fine. If he or she is not good with animals, that is really all I need to know.
