Your Pet's Best Buddy

Pet care experience

With a life-long passion for pets and years of experience, I'm not your average sitter. Since age 10, I've been the go-to pet caregiver in my community, looking after a diverse range of dogs for neighbors, friends, and family. Beyond simple walks, feeding, and bathing, I've honed my skills in specialized areas: training puppies and offering compassionate senior care. I understand the distinct needs of dogs at different life stages and bring patience, knowledge, and love to each interaction. Choose me to give your furry friends not just routine care, but a tailor-made experience filled with fun, comfort, and companionship. In my hands, your pet is not just cared for - they are cherished.

We really appreciate Mark being open to accommodating a house sitting request on short notice, alongside a friend of Mark’s who was willing to help him during the week we were gone. A couple of things could have been communicated beforehand regarding both sitters work schedules. It wasn’t ideal to find out about those scheduling conflicts after having discussed that the expectation would be for Mark and his friend to work remotely from our house each day. However, we do know River was well taken care of, paid attention to, and we received pictures and updates throughout the week. The house was also clean when we got home. Thank you for your care!

Mark is the best. He's responsive and really connected with my dogs. Highly recommend and this guy honestly deserves to be celebrated due to his insight in dog anxiety and his report outs at the end

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety, well-being, and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I've taken steps to create a pet-friendly environment. All hazardous items are kept out of reach, and I've pet-proofed spaces to prevent accidents. I also maintain a clean, calm environment, conducive to a pet's peace and relaxation. In your home, I respect your space as if it were my own. I adhere strictly to your house rules and guidelines, making sure your pet follows their usual routine to minimize stress. I'm diligent about cleanliness, especially around feeding and play areas, to maintain a healthy environment for your pet. Regardless of the location, I understand the immense trust placed in me when I'm tasked with a pet's care. Hence, I maintain open, honest communication, providing regular updates so you can rest easy knowing your furry friend is in safe hands. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are at the heart of everything I do, and I'm dedicated to providing a nurturing environment for them, whether in my home or yours.

Whether you need early morning walks, afternoon feedings, or evening playtimes, I can negotiate timings to ensure your pet receives optimal care at the most convenient times for you.
