I’m a Fun-Loving Dog/Cat’s BFF

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!

If I could rate Mark 10 stars, I would!! He gave us the greatest peace of mind with his thorough updates, videos and attention to detail! Not only that but he was more than happy to share tips and pointers from his many years of experience on Rover with hundreds of satisfied clients in case we wanted to start doing it ourselves. 20/10 would recommend Mark to take care of your pets!

Mark was great with our 2 cats. He went above and beyond to take care of them. I recommend his services to anyone who needs them. He took pictures and videos every day and provided a summary of what he did daily.

Mark did a great job updating us on his check ins for our two cats. We appreciated the photos, videos and thorough messages letting us know that all was good back at home. Great peace of mind while we were away on our trip!

Mark took great care of our Cletus. He made sure our boy was comfortable, well taken care of, and happy. He kept in good touch and sent the best photos! We hope to hire him again soon!

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.
