Mark is wonderful! My dogs had the best time swimming and hanging out with Mark. It’s very clear he truly loves dogs and takes care of them as if they were his own dogs. Thank you Mark! 😊

I am so happy that I found Mark. He was wonderful with our dogs. He kept me updated on how they were doing and sent pictures. Our vacation was so much better not having to worry if our dogs were ok. They had a blast! I will definitely be using Mark again.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dog, Cedar, over Memorial Day weekend! From the moment we dropped her off, it was clear Mark was going to treat her like one of the family. We received regular updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Cedar came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s such a relief to know she was in a home full of love and attention. We’re so grateful for the care, kindness, and thoughtfulness—and we’ll absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend!
