Pet care experience
I’ve owned and taken care of pets for most of my life. Growing up my family has had dogs, cats, bunnies, fish and even a cockatiel. I’ve house sat and dog sat multiple times and come away with a new best friend each time.
Reviews
Mark met with us twice before he stayed with our Westie Barney. What personable young man who put us at ease immediately. I felt no qualms about having him stay in our home. Unfortunately our trip was cut a week short and Mark adjusted to the change without a problem. My home was left clean and my dog was happy. I would not hesitate to have Mark stay again and hopefully in the not to far future.
Mark stayed at hour home and watched our Bullmastiff for a few days. He was respectful of our home and took good care of our dog, following all of our instructions and keeping us updated each day. I would be happy to hire him again.
Mark was fantastic. Our golden boys are rambunctious and Mark handled it beautifully. The boys loved him!
Mark looked after our two Dachshunds at our home while we went on vacation. This was the first time I used Rover and was a little nervous but turns out for no reason. Mark is very friendly and easy to talk too and seemed to really care about our dogs well being. I would not hesitate to have him look after them again.

Safety, trust & environment
I am a young, agile and strong pet lover who can adapt to the animal I am with. For bigger more domineering animals I am comfortable taking care of them & for more docile pet I can be a delicate gentle teddy bear as well!
Information Mark D. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know any special conditions or instructions that pertain to a particular pet. Certain things they can’t do or have trouble with should be noted so they are avoided if possible. I also like to know what a pet loves to do so i can spend more time on those types of activities. All around i also think it’s important to get a sense of the personality of each individual pet so they are always comfortable and feel at home as much as possible.
A typical day
I love to play with pets in a variety of ways. Every pet is different and each one likes certain activities or toys more than another pet. I think identifying the best activities that suit a particular pet is something that comes fairly naturally to me, and i enjoy the challenge of seeing if a pet likes to run around in the yard more, play with toys in the house more, or somewhere in the middle. Outdoor activists can include fetch, play chasing, running around, and anything else that’s spontaneous but safe. Indoor activists can include chew toys, pet puzzles that stimulate the brain and other animal toys that the pet takes a liking to.

Availability
I work full time from home during the week on a fully flexible schedule. I can essentially take breaks from work whenever I need throughout the day to attend to any errands or responsibilities on my schedule, pet care included. I am generally pretty free in the evenings & weekends.
