Seeking Exercise Partners

Pet care experience

I grew up having two dogs, rescue mix (Linus) and his loyal cocker- spaniel sidekick (Ringo). They both lived long happy lives and eventually (after many years of senior citizen discounts) went to dog heaven. Recently I've been sitting for a couple friends for free just because I love dogs & have a great time caring and playing with them. Having dogs around reminds me of how much I miss having one. So heres to "Mark wants a Dobie Fund". I work part time so I may not be available at certain times. please contact me for more info. I have experience with pups and seniors hearing impaired and blind. I can give dogs medications if needed per request.

Mark was great! He sent photosof the walks, and even went out of his way to get some special treats and kibble for our little girl who just went through chemo and wasn't eating her normal food. After he was home, he even sent me an article about dogs with cancer and diet. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter!

Mark was AWESOME-- I could tell PJ was really happy and relaxed when I got home. So much better than when she stays at a kennel. Mark is really responsible and friendly. Couldn't be happier!

Mark is my hero. He was very patient with our doodle who wasn't quite sure about having a stranger around. The extra effort he took to make Chewie feel comfortable made all the difference and I'm very grateful. Mark is very caring and great with dogs. I highly recommend him.

Hello my name Jessy , I have known Mark for well over 10 years now . He's become more a brother than friend. We lived near one another in San Diego, and at that time I had a male , 105lb black lab / German Shepard mix named Oso. Let's just say he was more than a dog he was my son ha. Im sure most dog owners can relate. I had to leave on a trip to my home town for a week or so and you just don't leave you "kid" with anyone. Mark was at my house often and was around Oso all the time and was very good with him. Got to know him on a personal level. His dos and donts more or less.. Anyways when I came down to lookin for someone to watch Oso I had no trouble on asking Mark cause I knew he loved Oso as much as I did and he took time to get to know him. Oso loved the idea so much he packed his doggy bowl and couple toys and pawed his own way to Marks. When I was gone Mark called just to update and make sure we knew Oso was good. He made him feel like he was home. He took him to the dog park everyday and made sure he got his sprints on. We came home to a happier dog who didn't wanna leave Marks house. Mark thanks agin for being a awesome friend over the years and if Oso was still around if ha e you walk him everyday ha. I just to lazy sometimes ha. Love ya bro!!
