Safely Caring For Your Beloved Pets

Combining my expertise as a dog sitter and devoted pet owner, I ensure the well-being of animals under my care while their humans are away. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. I give the same love, attention and energy to them as I would my own. I have spent years fostering for my local shelter and rescues both local and aboard. I have had to give medicine and take care of dogs that were heartworm positive and had to endure treatment before leaving for their rescue. I have also helped organize ways to raise funds for dog that needed medical care in the shelter. I have beautiful furbabies of my own, and pride myself in giving the same standard of care I would expect. I show up on time, I never allow anyone in the home other than me during my sit.

Safety, trust & environment

As the owner of four furry friends, I prioritize their daily walks on their favorite leashes. They enjoy exploring our property with its multiple ponds while being safely secured in case an unexpected critter, or any other danger appears.

Mark is an incredible person and such a joy to have caring for our animals and our home. We had just had to put down our chiuahuah so Mark was kind enough to continue with the booking even though he would have earned less for the house sitting because there were unfortunately unexpectedly less animals to care for. He not only refunded us for the cost of our recently lost animal but also created a custom memory image of her for us to to find when we returned home. He is the epitome of compassion and the kind of people you want around your animals and frankly in your family. He is a blessing to us. We can’t recommend him enough for his attention to detail and exquisite care of our fur family and our home. Mark, thank you for being you!

Mark was awesome! Exceptionally helpful and reliable! He took great care of our animals, was on time to our meet and greet, flexible and understanding when I goofed up the dates of our trip and needed to adjust the timing. He also brought us a sweet thank you note and little gift bag for booking with him. Would love to have him back again in our home. Thank you, Mark!

Mark did an incredible job while housesitting our pets. He was very communicative throughout the entire process from first meeting until he left the house. We got plenty of pictures/videos from the stay. He even made us aware of an issue going on with the house and worked with us to resolve it. When we returned home the pets looked well taken care of and the house may have cleaner than when we left. We will absolutely be using Mark again and you can ensure that your pets will be in good hands with him.

Mark was fantastic from start to finish! He was very communicative throughout his stay with Sadie, which made me feel much better as she has significant separation anxiety. My house was in great shape to return to and I felt comfortable the whole way through. I will definitely be keeping Mark in mind for any future travel.

Please provide me with advance notice of any special care or medication your pet may require prior to the visit, so that we can adequately prepare and ensure their comfort. I'm also very happy to setup a meet and greet with you and your furkiddos, to make sure it's a match before booking!
