Pet care experience

Underdogs are the best.

***Please check the additional rates section for more info.*** My siblings and I have had dogs in our family for nearly twenty years. I love being over at my mom's whenever one of my siblings bring over their dog for the day. Minnie is our recent addition to the family and grew up with my brother at a frat house (she adopted typical college antics of sleeping a lot). All of this have given me plenty of experience with dogs of various sizes and breeds. I'm in the process of leaving retail for full time dog sitting but still currently work a day job. However, my schedule is flexible. I have a college background in theatre with my bachelors degree is in creative writing--emphasis in theatre and film--and dream of Hollywood success or--gasp--working for Pixar. Being with dogs is exciting to me because they have wonderful personalities to observe. They love to play and are unhindered by stress and drama. I love it. They are like little kids. A few years ago I got into running and dogs make great jogging companions. If they aren't up for a jog we can explore the parks--maybe practice some Shakespeare--or find little nooks and crannies in town where our imagination's can take flight. When I am sitting for you, expect lots of photos and clear continuous communication. I follow schedules and directions thoroughly to maintain your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. That's enough about me, right? We're here for the canines (felines as well). So, do you have an intrepid explorer looking for their next adventure? How about an old soul looking to share a lifetime of stories? Or maybe you've got a little lovable bandit that finds all kinds of mischief? I can't wait to meet them.

We love the care Mark provides for our two pups! We are so lucky to have found him and that our pups seem to really enjoy him being at our home with them. 🤍🐾 We always feel so safe when we have to leave our pups behind knowing they are in Marks care!

Mark was a great sitter/walker, we could tell our dog was comfortable with him from the beginning. We’d recommend and will rebook in the future

Mark watched our 5 month old puppy, Atlas, while we were out of town for a week and Atlas seemed like he had a blast! We loved getting lots of picture updates while we were away, because we were definitely nervous about leaving him for the first time! It gave us some peace of mind to know someone who cares so much about dogs and had so much experience was watching him. Thank you Mark!

I hired Mark twice today. I trust him to take great care of my dog, Leo. The map I received shows that he took him for a long walk in my neighborhood. I am sure he was delighted to be outside in such good weather.
