Safety, trust & environment
I spend most of the day with your pets in the comfort of their home, helping them feel safe and relaxed. Daily walks are a priority for dogs in good physical condition, and for pets who prefer to stay close to home, I offer companionship, attention, and care throughout the day.
Home
Information Mark C. would like to know about your pet
I am comfortable with most dogs and adapt to each pet’s needs. I require owners to provide clear written instructions for feeding, routines, and vet information to ensure safe, consistent care.
A typical day
Each day is tailored to your pet’s needs. For dogs in good physical condition, I enjoy two walks a day, at least 30 minutes each. The rest of the time is spent providing companionship, play, and gentle care in the comfort of their home. Note: Desert summers restricted to one early morning for safety.

Reviews
Mark is a gem when it comes to pet care! I recently entrusted my timid dog, Thumper, to Mark and I couldn't have been more impressed. My dog is usually a little nervous in new environments and around new people, but Mark went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and at ease in his home. From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell Mark genuinely cared about creating a safe and welcoming space. He was incredibly patient, taking the time to understand Thumper's personality and needs. Throughout the stay, he kept me updated with photos and messages, showing me how happy and relaxed my dog was—a huge relief for any pet owner! When I picked Thumper up, he was calm and content, which spoke volumes about the care and attention he received. I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a compassionate, reliable, and skilled pet sitter.
Mark was great to work with. He was super with communications, status updates, pictures, and videos! He took care of our two pups and I would highly recommend him!
If I could give Mark 10 stars I would. Kind, responsible and caring- Mark really went out of his way to make sure my dogs’ routines were consistent so they weren’t anxious the whole trip. Which means I wasn’t anxious during my trip! Would and will use him again. Best dog/house sitter I’ve ever used.
Mark was great with our almost sixteen year old husky mix. She needs three pills a day and sometimes it’s hard to get her to take them. Mark was up for the challenge.
