Pet care experience

I’ve gained experience training and caring for my brother’s puppy (a playful pup, named Winston). I’ve cared for various types of pets over the years (e.g. pets I’ve owned in the past as well as pet-sitting for others). I also have extensive experience doing day care as well as overnight boarding for long periods!

I appreciate the level of communication and photos from Mark. Simon had so much fun during his stay and didn’t want to leave

Mark was fantastic with my cat Sayah! She isn't the biggest fan of change, so I was pretty nervous about leaving her for several days while I moved. Mark put me at ease right away with updates, photos, and great communication throughout her stay. He was patient while she adjusted, spent time playing with her, and kept me updated as she slowly came out of her shell - from hiding to exploring to playing to laying around belly up. I’m incredibly grateful for the care Mark gave her. It was obvious he genuinely cared about her and wanted her to feel comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
