Information Mark D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know a few of your dog’s or cat’s favorite things to do so I can make sure I accommodate them into their walk or stay with me. Whether it be playing with a specific toy, or going for long walks, or waking up early to play, or even just cuddling up to take lots of naps, I am game for it all!

A typical day

For Dog Walks: I will make sure they pee and poop, have some exercise and are securely leashed at all times unless you request for us to go to a dog park for some play time with other dogs. For House Sitting: I will make sure your dog/cat and your apartment are all well taken cared of while I stay at your place. Let me know what you would like me to do at your place so you can have no worries while you are away. I will make sure I leave your place exactly how I entered it, clean and tidy. For Drop-In Visits: Let me know what you would like me to do while I’m there. I can do feedings, walks, play-time, cleaning, etc. You name it, and I’ll do it.

Pet care experience

I have been lucky enough to be doing this for a few years on Rover now, so I have built up a recurring clientele where I do this Full-Time 24/7. I am here to take care of any pets you have at any time and day you may need me as long as my schedule isn’t booked up yet. My service area extends to 2 miles around the Ridgewood area. I assure you that I will give your cat and/or dog or any other pet you may have the full attention they need and try to be their new best friend!

Mark took great care of my dog Ziggy for 3 nights and was very communicative! I returned home to a happy dog.

Mark was great with our two cats as usual! Always super attentive to detail and spends so much time playing with them and petting then. And we get great pics and videos :)

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.
