Pet care experience

Happy paws every walk, every time.

From chihuahuas to Mastiffs, Aussie’s to retired Greyhounds I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes. I have undergone basic K9 training class and further AKC therapy dog training with my own dogs. I truly enjoy animals of all kinds and can often be found playing with friends dogs/cats when hanging out.

Safety, trust & environment

I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. The dogs get daily exercise every morning and I play with them throughout the day playing fetch. I have a privacy fenced back yard large enough for any zoomies and no dog goes out or is ever left out alone. Our cats are older but enjoy the company of the dogs and relaxing in the windowsills soaking up some sun

Schedule

I am currently in the army but have a relaxed schedule giving me flexibility and an abundance of free time. I am free most days for dog walks and drop ins and house sitting.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Mark can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
If your pet has any special requirements (medication, temperament etc) please let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate. I have experience giving medications both oral and injected and working with dogs requiring more time to build trust.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
