Highlights
Pet care experience
Keeping tails wagging when you’re not around
We’ve had three dogs, two from 8 weeks and one a rescue from four years. All lived long fulfilling lives, until 12 and 14.5yrs so both puppy and senior years and needs are familiar . We lost our last dog in Jan 2021 - 14.5 year old German Shorthaired Pointer. Since then we have mostly looked after the dogs of family and friends, most notably working cocker spaniels but also some toy / terrier breeds. I’m now newly retired and able to accommodate more frequent walking/boarding activities. The area near our home is full of wonderful countryside walks to accommodate off lead where preferred. We are also only 8 miles from LGW airport so convenient for those heading off on holiday.

Ratings and reviews
Jupes loves a break with Mark! Home from home
Mark has been incredible with Rocky, very calm and knowledgeable especially as Rocky is still young. Mark is really reliable, always so quickly to reply on dates. He takes good care of Rocky when he stays, Rocky loves going for nice long walks and we get regular updates during the day. Can’t recommend enough.
Our dog Florry had a wonderful stay with Marc and his wife. They took great care of her and she felt very settled and happy. She loved all of her walks in the beautiful countryside. Ee have booked her in again. Thank you so much Marc!
So lucky to have Mark look after Polly when we can't ... just afraid she might not want to come home! 🙃
Mark was great with Buddy as last time! Buddy was very happy, well looked after in the heat. Lots of updates and pics/videos throughout the week. Thanks Mark!
All I can say is thank you. My gorgeous but slightly needy Cockapoo has just stayed with Mark for the third time, and that says everything. Coco absolutely loves staying with Mark and Mandy, and I have complete peace of mind knowing she is happy, loved, and so well cared for. It’s clear that dog care isn’t just a job for them—it’s something they genuinely care about. Coco comes home relaxed, content, and as happy as ever. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mark the Dog Whisperer to anyone looking for kind, reliable, and professional dog care. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my girl. 🐾

Schedule
Having no other work distractions means that I am fully available to provide exercise, play time and company for your dog whilst in my care. In the event that I should need to pop out without your pet, you can be comfortable this will not be for more than a maximum of 1-2 hours at any given time. Naturally we take holidays too and will schedule those around bookings.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We no longer have dogs of our own and generally accommodate one dog at a time - max. two where the dogs are known to us. No cats or young children at home. A small walled garden and lots of country walks on the doorstep. Being newly retired, I’m therefore at home and available to care for your pets. I understand the importance of a consistent diet and meal plan so instructions are requested and will be followed to ensure whatever you do at home is maintained wherever possible.
A typical day
We are surrounded by beautiful countryside and fantastic walking in the Surrey hills. Opportunities for off leading walking and playing fetch or find it for dogs that need more mental stimulation. Typically I take dogs in my care on 4 walks per day, 2 short walks for toilet break and two long (60-9 mins.) walks, in a stimulating environment. I am always happy to discuss adaptations to suit your dog’s needs.
