Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family—with patience, love, and respect for their unique personalities and routines. I offer everything from walks and drop-in visits to boarding, basic training, and even care for other animals like reptiles and small pets. At my home, your pet will have access to a large, fully fenced-in backyard—perfect for safe play, exercise, and fresh air. I keep a close eye on them at all times to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. Clean spaces, consistent routines, and regular updates are part of the care I provide to help you feel confident while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always come naturally. From playful puppies to senior companions, I’m comfortable with all ages and have experience helping with basic training, too. While dogs are my main passion, I’m also adaptable and confident with most animals—including cats, reptiles, and even plants! I worked at a veterinary office for a year during college, which gave me hands-on experience with a wide range of pets and deepened my understanding of animal care and behavior. Whether it’s a walk, some playtime, or just keeping your pet company while you’re away, I treat every animal like family. I believe in building trust—both with your pets and with you.

Mark took great care of our senior dog, Milo, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. He communicated regularly, kept us updated, and followed all of our instructions carefully. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. We felt comfortable knowing Milo was in good hands. We would definitely book with Mark again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive pet sitter.

Mark is awesome! He was so attentive to our pups and even got a little dog to open up to him (which she never does to anyone but me) he was very responsive if I had a question and was immediately available when an emergency came up! If I could give him over 5 stars I would! He will a 100% be our permanent dog sitter! Definitely go with him if you’re looking for someone who is passionate about your little babies!
