Dog photographer turned walker!

Pet care experience

I am a self-employed photographer / dog enthusiast who is looking to fill the gaps in my work-from-home workday by taking care of pups! I have a two year old Beagle/Bulldog mix named Pancake who LOVE meeting and playing with other dogs. I have been taking care of my friends' and family's' dogs for years and just heard about this great opportunity through Rover! An added bonus if you choose me - I almost ALWAYS have my camera gear on me, so in addition to getting an enthusiastic dog sitter and walker, you may also end up with some professional level photos of your hound! I'm looking forward to meeting you and your pups and I hope that I get the opportunity to make your day a little simpler!

Mark was great! My dogs liked him instantly, even the one that is generally a little more suspicious of men. He was very responsive and professional, always helpful, and took great care of the dogs and the house. I highly recommend Mark and he would absolutely rebook with him. Thanks Mark!

Information Mark D. would like to know about your pet

I have no preference of breed. Every breed of dog is the breed for me! I would like to know how the owner would say they walk, where they are used to walking, how they prefer to be introduced to new humans and dogs alike, and what their favorite allowable treats are.

A typical day

One of my favorite places is the Bark Park, an island that is dedicated to dogs and being a dog-friendly environment off of Niagara Falls Blvd. If there is time enough in the day, and the dog's human thinks that this sounds like a good idea for their pup, I would love to introduce more dogs to it. Other favorite places of mine to walk MY own pup include but are not limited to, Bidwell and Delaware Park, the fenced in dog park at Lasalle Park, and the grounds of the Richardson Complex, soon to be Hotel Henry.
