Pet care experience

Loving care and peace of mind 🐾

I have taken care of my friends’ pets over the years since working from home after the pandemic, and have a spacious home with my dog, Koko. My clients make this a home away from home with an abundance of toys, treats, affection and playtime. My goal is for your fur baby to be comfortable and stress-free while providing you peace of mind to enjoy your time away. Let’s set up a meet and greet so we can book your upcoming needs.

Very communicative and flexible. My dogs were very happy with them and the environment they provided. Lots of love and petting. I’m grateful to have found such wonderful people to take care of my dogs while I’m away!

We have used Mark to dog sit several times now, he and his wife are always so great with Colton. They always send pictures and videos and they are beyond accommodating. Our dog always seems to have so much fun at their house and get so much love. Highly recommend them

Mark and Martha are so great with Colt! They make sure to send updates and love him as their own when he’s in their home. Colt seems to love being there with them and their pup as well. They make leaving when we’re out of town breeze

I would give them four stars because I received very few updates and I had to reach out first for an update. On the first day and second I only received one picture. Be mindful some parents get separation anxiety from the pets too. That would be my only feedback. They seem to be good people. Overall, my dog is in good health and she was clean.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard with only one 5-year old female (spayed) Husky-Bulldog mix named Koko. She is extremely passive and sweet. My home is quiet and look to board no more than two dogs at any given time to allow for proper care and attention. My goal is to provide a stress-free environment for your pet, and grant you peace of mind. I will gladly send you pictures and updates as requested.

Pets

A typical day

I work a M-F job from my home office and take various breaks throughout the day to get some time in with the fur kids. Before and after my work shift, I typically spend time playing fetch (or me chasing the ball in most cases) and getting some exercise in with the dogs.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Mark can host up to 3 pets per night
Please let me know if there is anything special your pet may need to make the proper arrangements ahead of time. Safety and comfort for your fur babies and mine are top priorities.
