25 years of caring for Military & Security Dogs
Pet care experience
I possess extensive experience in pet care, both in my personal life & throughout my 25-year career in caring for Military & Security dogs. My deep affection for animals sets me apart as a compassionate & reliable pet sitter. My experience provides a strong sense of responsibility, attentiveness, & the ability to handle various situations with calmness & professionalism. These qualities translate directly into the pet care services I provide, ensuring reliability, trustworthiness, & capability of handling any unexpected circumstances that may arise. Furthermore, I have received training & also instructed in Enhanced Dog First Aid, provided instruction to numerous service dog handlers on advanced lifesaving techniques, catering to both general-purpose & specialised high-risk environment dogs. This training allows for a quick & effective response in case of any medical emergencies or injuries that may occur while your pet is under my care. Ensuring I am equipped to handle any health-related concerns & provide immediate assistance if needed.
Reviews
Mark did a great job of looking after Hattie and I really appreciated the last minute acceptance of our booking. Hattie came home happy and tired and slept very well that night.
Reggie and Sky really enjoyed their first visit with Mark. I got lots of updates to see how they’re settling in and videos of them playing! They were very happy and shattered when I collected them!
Brilliant!
Mark was great with Milo. He visited him at home to feed him and play in the garden with him. He sent us photos and videos of Milo to reassure us. Would definitely use Mark again

Information Mark G. would like to know about your pet
Any special needs, disability, daily schedule needs or dietary requirements will be adhered to. Nothing is too much & your fur baby’s daily needs come first.
A typical day
Here are just some of the fun activities I can do with the fur babies I take care of: Playing fetch, going for walks, simple training sessions, interactive puzzle toys & cuddles. I’m happy to send you daily photos of your fur baby doing daily activities & keep a photo diary of the time spent with me. Photos will be sent to you on a stay basis rather than a daily basis. I use a range of Hypoallergenic dog food & treats for pets with sensitivities, using selected natural ingredients, no added artificial flavours, colours, or antioxidants. This includes James Wellbeloved & Natural Dog Treats by Lilys Kitchen.
