Pet care experience

Your Dog’s New Fav Walking Bud!

As a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and quirks. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and energy levels. I’m especially experienced with larger dogs and enjoy long walks, playtime, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s routine and follow your instructions carefully so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like they’re my own and make their comfort and safety my priority. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m respectful of your home and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how your pet is doing. For walks and drop-in visits, I focus on giving your dog a safe, enjoyable experience while following any instructions you provide about feeding, bathroom breaks, leash habits, or behavior. I’m happy to take the time to get to know each dog and adjust my approach to their individual personality and energy level.

Mark is a responsible, caring, and dependable person who I would absolutely trust with my pets. He is attentive, patient, and genuinely loves animals. I know he would treat any pet in his care with the same kindness and attention he gives his own.

Mark, being a dog owner himself, has proven to be very loving and caring towards dogs. With a service-oriented mindset, he always cares about making all of those around him (including our furry friends) feel cared for and wanted. He would be a perfect candidate for Rover!
