Pet care experience

Flexible and dependable pet owners ready to help

Historically, I've had about 12 years experience with dogs. I used to foster lots of different breeds in a loving home. I had dogs come to me with all kinds of issues I helped them overcome them and equipped them to settle into a loving forever home. My partner of three years had two elderly rescues when we met, one has dementia (Harvey) and one had aggression issues (we lost Dudley in September). I helped with their care from the beginning and gained both of their trust and love. I live a very dog friendly home. A ground floor flat with enclosed back outside area, opposite a park. I live in a very dog friendly area with many dog friendly facilities nearby. I am trustworthy, caring and intuitive in my interactions with canines. I hope to make a career from boarding/walking/caring for canines, what could be better than to make a living out of something I love. My partner and I aren't ready for a new permanent dog after losing Dudley, so boarding is win win for us and update losing our beloved harvey rip fly with the angels rip dudley and harvey 🙏

Definitely recommend Mark & Donna if you are new to looking for a dog sitter / family for your pet. We had never used someone that we didn’t know before for our sausage dog Reggie and I so pleased that we found Mark & Donna. Reggie had a great time and Mark kept us updated with photos , videos and messages over the weekend which was great. Reggie looked like he had the best time and made some cute four legged friends as well as humans 🥰 Thank you for making the whole process easy and comfortable for us. Would definitely use again.

Mark looked after Polo for 10 days while I was on holiday. We arranged a meet and greet beforehand and I knew as soon as I met him my dog would be in good hands. Mark’s love for dogs is obvious and Polo seemed to have a natural affinity with him. Mark’s communication was great, he kept me updated throughout and sent lots of photos of Polo’s adventures. He was also really flexible, which was really appreciated since I had some travel disruption on my way home. Overall Polo had a great time and I would happily leave him with Mark again!

Freya had another wonderful stay with Mark and Donna. A very late booking and Mark was able to accommodate this week and next week. Freya is learning the skills of being a pooch and making fellow pooch friends. Mark is always there with photos and videos. A gem of a find.
