Pet care experience

Fenced Yard, Doggie Door, Fun walks

Years back I was taking Pre-Veterinary courses. But my true training has been via a lifelong history of great loving four-legged family members. Dog parks, nature preserve walks and running on leashes by my bicycle - we both get exercise, we both get to relax. Our current family includes one opinionated terrier and one golden retriever who can't get enough loving! I'm personally looking for smiles and exercise and the potential experience of starting my own boarding kennel. Our home has a doggie door, which helps give our pups more freedom and independence -- to bark at the postman from the yard when he visits. A home with love is always a better experience for our cherished family members than a cage during any day or vacation when their 'parents' need to be away.

Freyja had another great day and was ready for a nap when I got her home. So grateful to have found Mark.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 08, 2022

Mark did a wonderful job of communicating to me about our dog stay. But most importantly, I could see he genuinely cared for my dog, Bella looked so happy! I could say that was a vacation she very much enjoyed and there is no doubt that she will want to go back!

Mark took great care of our dog for over a week. He sent photos and responded quickly when we contacted him with questions. He made sure our adventurous dog did not stray and had plenty of time to run and play. We would highly recommend him.

Mark always does a fantastic job with Lucy. Leaving her with him is easy because I know that she is well-taken care of and is treated as part of the family.

Dogs with licenses and rabies tags are preferred. This is mostly for any people we meet on the street who may ask. It's nice when all are comfortable.
