Information Mark J. would like to know about your pet

I feel the most important is asking about any anxieties, social behavior with humans and dogs , feeding schedule and allergies, and any medical conditions. Crates are never needed unless pup is NOT house trained .

I have a running exercise schedule every morning 7am I hit the trails , sometimes just a long walk and other times good jog .

Mark was fantastic! I had a last minute pet sitting need, and Mark totally stepped up and was able to care for my dog. He was very responsive, and sent me pics and updates throughout my pet's stay, which was awesome for me! I loved seeing what a good time my dog had staying with Mark and he took such good care of him. My dog was happy and smiling the whole time and I could tell he loved staying with Mark. The next time I have to travel, Mark is going to be who I call! I highly recommend Mark for providing care for your pet!

Mark provided June Bug daycare for an entire work week. By day 2, I knew that he was doing a fantastic job as she was excited in the morning to find herself at his door. I would highly recommend Mark and Marcus to care for that furry member of your family. Two thumbs up!

As always, Rodeo had a great time with Mark and I felt so comfortable knowing that he was well taken care of care of. Mark sends photo updates of all their adventures; from an outdoor hike to lounging on the couch. I appreciate the peace of mind, the communication and flexibility.

Our dog had a great time at Mark’s place. Multiple walks a day, she also went on a small hike. Mark is great with communication over text. Sent us pictures and updates frequently and was very responsive when we texted. A great host for our dog
