Pet care experience
Former Dog Father Turned Dog Uncle
I had my boy Shep for 10 amazing years. We rescued him when we lived in Chicago in 2017. on August 8th, at 1:17AM we had to put him to sleep because of an uncurable heart condition that was giving him a massive blood build up around his heart. Sheppy taught me how to be a more patient individual and man was he stubborn! I am not ready yet to own another dog or two but I am ready to care for someone elses dog. I have had dogs since I was born but Shep was my first dog as an adult and everyday is a struggle without him candidly. This is mutually beneficial as I get to play and care for a pup and they get to give me a sense of routine. I do not disciminate against any dogs. All dogs need love and my boy shep was a perfect mutt. I miss him everyday but I am ready to love again!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Mark is someone I would wholeheartedly trust to care for any dog. He is reliable, responsible, patient, and incredibly empathetic toward animals. He genuinely loves dogs and enjoys making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Mark is also fun loving and attentive. He understands that every dog has their own personality and needs. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, giving lots of affection, or simply keeping them company, I know he would treat every dog with kindness and care. I feel completely comfortable trusting Mark with my own dog , and have many times before! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a loving and dependable dog sitter.

Schedule
I work from home in tech! I am always home and always available to give walks 2-3 times a day and have a huge front and back yard fully fenced in. We have left over toys and balls from Shep so if your dog loves to play fetch, fetch we shall! I am not a believer in animals not allowed on the furniture. Dogs in this house sit where they please! We are very clean and tidy and my wife and I LOVE dogs.

Safety, trust & environment
There was truly nothing more important to me than Shep, and my wife. Shep was cared for greatly until the very end. I held his paw as he crossed the rainbow bridge. We fed him organic food, 3 walks a day, fetch, the works! I would love to share this love I had for Shep with any other dog willing to have it.
A typical day
Walks, Fetch, and car rides is what my Sheppy boy loved. But also down to sit on the couch and watch a movie. Really whatever the dog wants to do within reason I am game!
