Marc is very friendly and provided good care for our dog and extra furry ones. He communicates well and has lots of patience.

Dog Walking • Sep 09, 2025

I hired Mark H. to walk my dog for 30 mins. But my home security camera showed Mark H. spent less than 10 minutes in my house and never took my dog for a walk. When I asked Mark for an explanation, he said he was running late from work and just let my dog out in the backyard, which is not what we agreed to or what I paid for. He did not contact me to indicate any problems. When I rushed home and took my dog for an actual walk, my dog quickly did his business.

I’m so grateful Mark was available on such short notice! He took excellent care of my pets and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. He kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was clear that Soca and Tigger were in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with him again highly recommend!

Mark was able to house sit our cat and dog for the weekend last minute when our other rover canceled. He was professional and was responsive through the rover app.
