Highlights
Pet care experience
Providing clients peace of mind.
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 from me and my wife since We are 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 our 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. And if we go for a walk or to the park, they will always be on their leash and we avoid other animals which may be out. We tend to be tranquil low energy home bodies. So a pet with a lot of energy or one that needs daily walks and exercise may not be a good fit.

Ratings and reviews
This was the first time that we took Max to a pet sitter and it was a good experience. Right away it was clear that Mark has a way with dogs and Max just loved him. Mark has an enclosed, well kept yard with grass where Max zoomed around. We are pleased to have found Mark and will book with him again next month.
Mark is extremely good to our girl. Very kind and loving to her. He updated us with pictures and text messages thru our the days he had her. I would use him again.
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.
Mark really did a great job with Libby's care!
This is our 2nd time leaving our dog with Mark. He’s great! We get regular pics and updates. Our dog is very happy and so are we!
Mark took great care of Jasper!

Schedule
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 and we can take them with us, we usually will.

Home characteristics
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.
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.
