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.

Information Mark D. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

Loving care and peace of mind 🐾

Pet care experience

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

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.
