Since I am retired, I will be with your pup pretty much 24/7. My wife will be helping me as well so it’s highly unlikely we would ever leave them alone. If we do need to run a quick errand we can take them with me usually.

Safety, trust & environment

It’s my priority to provide your pup(s) with a happy, safe, and healthy experience. It is only my wife and I so my home is quiet and calm. I have a grass yard for play and potty breaks. There is a high brick fence around the yard. There’s not much in the house for them to get in trouble over. The floors are easy to clean in case of accidents. Between visits I thoroughly clean and disinfect the floors, furniture, rugs, patio, and even the yard with animal safe solutions to insure the health of your pets.

Information Mark C. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know if your dog is aggressive towards other animals or strangers or has other triggers such as protecting his food. Any health issues your pet may have or activities that you do not want to happen. Although I’ll keep on eye on your pet at all times, let me know if they are a fence jumper or escape artist. Also, if they have separation anxiety. Normally I’ll be with your pup all the time, including all night, but I could need to run up to the store or go to a doctor appointment during which time my wife will keep an eye on them.

A typical day

Your dog and I will interact often during my care playing games such as fetch or chase or tug of war. They will get a lot of attention and affection. I talk to them often. We will play in the yard, or house, or at the park. I do not let them off leash ever. There are two large parks just a couple blocks from my home. Maybe we will spend a little time learning some new commands or games as well. I keep away from other dogs and always keep your pup on their leash. I make sure they cannot run out through a temporarily opened door. I take absolutely no chances with your pups.

Providing clients peace of mind.

Pet care experience

It’s my goal to provide the pets under my watch with the best care possible. It’s important to me that my clients have peace of mind concerning their pets so that they can enjoy their vacation or business trip worry free. I message, send pictures, and provide videos often towards that goal. I gladly give their pups all the love and attention they want. Truthfully, I just love dogs and love their company. I’ve had dogs and all sorts of other pets my whole life. They will get plenty of attention since I am retired and typically home all day and night every day. Currently I have no dog of my own and one reason I do this is because I enjoy their companionship. I also do not care for dogs from other families at the same time. So, your pup or pups will be getting my full attention without worry of conflict with another animal. I have a high concrete block fence all the way around the grass back yard where we go out often for fresh air, play, and potty. Them potty, not me. I keep your pet indoors with me mostly but give them potty breaks and play time often during the day and night. I do not leave them alone outside.

This is our third time using Mark. Our dog LOVES him! He’s very communicative and sends frequent updates with photos and video. I’d be happy to provide a reference.
