Pet care experience

I grew up 12 years on a farm taking care of 3 dogs (2 chihuahuas and 1 golden retriever), my favorite cat named Sparkles, an unimaginable number of chickens and hostile roosters, ducks, geese, etc. After my family and I moved to the city, my high school class offered its classroom pet (an albino hedgehog) to me to take care of it once we graduated. I help take care of my family’s Beagle and Siberian Cat, Sharik and Musiya. My sister has a farm where I helped watch over all their cattle, geese, Beagles and Great Pyrenees (they’re massive, haha). With every pet, no matter how big or how small, I’m well experienced in cleaning them, cleaning, cleaning up after them, spending time with them and making sure their needs are met. Further care like scheduling an appointment or taking them to the vet is something I’ve had experience doing in the past, and I’m happy to do for you.

dog-sat for me for a week. He took great care of my dog — Bo was in perfect spirits when we came back. He provided daily texts including pictures showing how happy Bo was. He walked Bo and played with him even more than I’d actually asked for. Before I left, he asked multiple questions about Bo, ranging from logistics to general questions about what Bo liked to do. Mark was a conscientious guest; my house looked like no one had even been there. 10/10.

Mark is a very nice person. He is communicative and understanding. He took great care of our four cats and our home during his 5 nights of pet/home sitting. We will surely be contacting him again for future help.

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.

Information Mark D. would like to know about your pet

I’m happy to work with dogs that have special needs or need medications at specific times of the day, just let me know in advance.

A typical day

I love going out to burn some energy with dogs! We’ll go take a walk to the park, go explore parts of the city, catch some frisbees, throw some sticks and tennis balls, sit on the grass and breathe some fresh air.
