Safety, trust & environment

If I'm pet sitting, I'm able to stay in you're home and give your pets all the attention they could dream of. Chill, lazy dog? Nothing like relaxing outside or watching TV getting pets and cuddles. Adventurous hounds? Lots of walks and play. I tailor the pet care your fur babies need to fit their lives and personalities. I work 1:1 with pet families so that your pets get all of my attention.

Information Mark H. would like to know about your pet

The important things I'd like to know about your pets are the following; Temperament, special requests/needs, likes/dislikes, and if they have any history of abuse/neglect. These help me to understand your pets on a better lv so that I can provide the best care possible.

A typical day

If your pet is super chill and not the most active then there will be tons of loafing around getting all the attention and affection they would like. If they're not super social I can be there for them if they want anything but will respect their space. For the active friends tons of play through fetch, walks, and all the sensory stimulation they need to feel elated and content.

Pet care experience

I've been around dogs since I've had a working memory. From friend's, family's, neighbor's to my own I've watched and cared for many different dogs of many different sizes and needs. Dogs are a joy and a privilege to care for and deserve the best. I've worked with pups to pops and enjoy both :)

It was hard to leave our dog as the 4th of July weekend is scary for her with the fireworks and she’s getting more nervous as she gets older, but when we got home we could tell Mark took great care of her (as always.) She wasn’t stressed at all and he took care of our house…mail, etc. as well. We love having Mark take care of Cookie as we don’t have to worry about her at all when we are away.

Mark is great! I always come home to a tired and happy doggo, and the house is always well taken care of. Highly recommend.

Mark took great care of our aging rescue dog,Sunny. She requires medication and special care and Mark provided her with both. He stayed in our home without any issues. We highly recommended him and will not hesitate to use his services again.
