Information Mark H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. Is she high energy? Does he need to take it easy? Are they up for longer walks and hills, or do they need to take it slow? Are they leash protective? Do they get along with other dogs? Basically I just need to know what you want me to do to make sure they are safe and happy. That is my main goal!

A typical day

I love to walk and hike. I'm new to Carlsbad, so I'm excited to explore different neighborhoods and parks with your pets. I'm flexible with time, so I can take them for as long or as short of a walk as you would like.

Pet care experience

I’ve got lots of time on my hands now that I’ve left the 9 to 5 behind. Let me devote my extra time to your fur babies. I’ll treat them with all the love I’d give to my own. I’m currently running my own home based business so my schedule is incredibly flexible and I love to walk. Let me give your pets all the love and attention they need. I’ll treat your fur babies like they were members of my own family. I just need to know any special needs each one has so I can provide them with the care they deserve.

Another absolutely fantastic booking with Mark! He takes wonderful care of my MIL's cat, brushes and plays with him, and won him over so quickly. It's such a relief to know that Uno is in good hands!

Highly recommend Mark! He is professional, kind and always on time. My cats like him and will greet him when he visits. You can tell he truly cares about the animals.

Once again Mark really came through for us, extending our booking for my mother-in-law's cat and finally getting to meet her at the end! He took fantastic care of Uno and even cleaned up a bit without us asking him to. We already have a sitting booked for Christmas!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
