Pet care experience

*Please scroll down to review discounts and promotions I am an Engineer who has a passion for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I have an 8-year-old Basenji mix, named Dexter, who is my best friend and hiking/running companion. We love going to dog parks and making new friends! I often work with Champion K9 Companions (a local professional dog training company, here in San Antonio) and have developed a variety of techniques in managing pups of all temperaments. So, not only will you be able to leave knowing that your furry friend is happy and safe but you will also come home a better behaved creature than when you left! No matter your pets needs, my goal is to always make them my #1 priority! I am reliable, respectful, clean and will treat your pet(s) and your home as though they are my own. I am happy to take care of any pet(s) including dogs, cats, fish, etc. If you have any questions please reach out!

Thank you so much for going over and beyond with my feral cats. I love the daily updates and your patiences by waiting in your car to cature piictures of my baby Ginger. Unfortunately, my illusive cat Scuff was nowhere to be found but I promise you, he does exist ? I appreciate all that you have done and more. I highly recommend Mark for you pet needs.

I don't trust most people with my dog, but Mark is a God-send. Although my pup is more weary of men, she bonded with Mark right away. He takes her to a nearby field to run and play, and I get the cutest pictures everyday! It's such a piece of mind knowing my girl is well taken care of during the day. Absolutely worth the money.

Mark is a true animal lover! We have two dogs, a cat, fish, and a bird and he has been willing to look after all of them! He handles them with care, and love and treats them as his own. He’s even been able to help keep my dog Chai up to date with her leash training by being consistent even when I’m not home! He’s trustworthy and a life saver! He’s worth you and your pet’s time! Thanks mark for all you do!

I am so impressed with Mark! As a dog mom of three highly driven pups (who is admittedly a little protective of her fur babies) I never thought I would find someone I could trust with my crazy creatures. But Mark does an AMAZING job with them. Hes so sweet, fair, and loving with them (even though they can be challenging!). And, even more surprising, they love him back!! When he comes over they get so excited and absolutely enjoy their time with him. He gets 5 stars from me!
