Pet care experience

Play Time in Rochester

I have had dogs or cats my whole life and love taking care of them, playing, walking and hiking. My house is a block and half from Cobb’s Hill and next to Park street for happy dog walks in the ABC neighborhood I work from home with meetings from 10-6 but have plenty of time in between meetings if you have a specific drop off time. If you want me to pick up your dog then I can do it early morning or after work. I will have a fenced yard in a few weeks, hopefully bu mid August 2023) and a labrador retriever who loves every human and dog she meets. She is good with puppies and older dogs.

We would recommend Mark to anyone and everyone! I agree with all of the great things previous reviewers have said, and will add that Mark is definitely the best experience we’ve had with any sitter on Rover. He prioritizes safety and knows how to read a dog’s personality and temperament. This helps ensure they have the best stay possible. He communicates well and reliably responds to text messages. He’s also very flexible and worked with our schedule. Mark’s dog, Osa, was a good companion to our dogs. Even our young dog, who was a little stressed with the new situation, was pulling us back into Mark’s house the next day we were dropping off. Mark definitely treats your pet as his own, and we’d trust him with our pets again.

Mark D. Was extremely obliging in keeping Jackson a few extra days when my husband got sick during his travels. Mark bought the dog food Jackson likes and threw the ball for the dogs to cerise them and brought them on a 2-hour hike in the cool of the evening. Jackson did not want to leave.

I would like to know if your dog has any special needs. It would also be nice know words or hand signs that your dog knows, if any. The activity level of the dog will help me to plan different kinds of experiences
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.
