Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced with all sizes
Since becoming a pet sitter, I've had the pleasure of caring for all types of dogs and cats, from tiny French Bulldogs to large breeds like Great Danes, Mastiffs, and Golden Retrievers, as well as cats such as Tonkinese and Maine Coons. I’ve cared for a variety of breeds and temperaments, including Beagles, Dalmatians, Huskies, Pits, and more, making sure each one gets the attention and care they need. I’ve received consistent 5-star reviews from my clients, who appreciate the communication and daily updates I provide during their pets’ stays. I always send pictures and check in frequently, so owners know their pets are happy and well taken care of. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or even managing special needs, I go the extra mile to ensure their comfort and safety. Along with caring for pets, I make sure the home is left just as it was found, and I’m always willing to help with tasks like taking pets to the vet or other special requests. I’ve built strong relationships with clients, and many come back for repeat bookings, knowing their pets are in good hands.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
It doesn’t matter how big or small or different your pet is to me, I have no problem cleaning them, cleaning up after them, putting up with them and spending time with them indoors and outdoors to get that cardio and love in them, and making sure they’ve got everything they need, like a clean litter box, water, food, etc. I’ve also had experience taking pets, like my sister’s massive Great Pyrenees dogs, to the vets to get them to better health. I’m here for your dogs and cats, I’m happy to help how it best fits you and your pets.
Ratings and reviews
This was my first time using Rover and Mark was great! It was a relief knowing all 8 of my cats and dogs would have company and be safe while I was out of town. He sent me pictures and videos and is great at communicating.
This was our first time using Rover and Mark was great!! He made sure to send multiple updates throughout the day and a lot of those even included videos. He also left the house in great shape! I will definitely be using Mark again in the future!
Mark was absolutely incredible. He did 24 hour dog care for our 3 very busy dogs. He sent multiple pictures and videos while we were gone. He had great communication with us throughout our trip. I felt that my dogs were being taken care of very well. I never had to worry about them. Our house dogs were not stressed when we returned. He kept their routine. Highly recommended! Will use him again!
It was a relief to leave our pets and house in such good hands with Mark. We didn’t want our dogs cooped up in the house all day. Mark took them outside for walks and playtime to burn their abundance of energy. He gave us updates with pictures and videos. Mark was willing to do anything we wanted with the house/garden that we needed in our absence. We highly recommend Mark for your dog/house sitting. He’s trustworthy and has great integrity.
From the first time that our Siberian Husky Aspen met Mark our worries were significantly reduced. Aspen liked Mark right away, didn't bark or growl on him, and looked very comfortable with him. Mark was very respectful and professional and discussed all plans and requirements for taking care of Aspen. This was the first time that we were leaving Aspen for an extended period as we flew overseas. Usually we are not leaving her more than a few hours at a time. Mark stayed in our house while we have been away to minimize Aspen's anxiety of being alone. He fed her, played with her, took her for walks, and even took her to a local park. We received pictures and updates throughout the vacation and Mark was able to quickly adapt to Aspen's needs. He also immediately responded to texts while we were on our trip. Mark also had the house immaculate for our arrival. Choosing Mark was the best decision we made for taking care of Aspen and he will definitely be her sitter for now on.
Mark was an excellent house sitter. He showed up when he said he would, spent quality time with the pets, and regularly sent updates. It makes traveling a lot easier knowing your pets are in good hands.

Schedule
I’m open all mornings and most evenings. It doesn’t matter to me how early you’d like for me to start, I love taking dogs on a walk first thing in the mornings.
