I have a large enclosed garden at home, but am lucky to be close to lots of open fields (and several secure fields, if required). Whether a walk, or a home visit, your pets safety and wellbeing will always my main priority.

Information Mark J. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to help out with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and will tailor our time depending on their routine, favourite activities and any preferences. If there are any particular needs or requirements that need to be discussed, please let me know.

A typical day

When out walking with dogs, I love to give them the freedom to roam and engage with their environments. Whether a walk on the lead on the local canal path, or lots of freedom in a secluded or even a secure dog field, your dogs will have lots to keep them stimulated both physically and mentally.

Pet care experience

I have been around animals all of my life, from dogs and cats, to bearded dragons, mice, gerbils, budgies and fish! There's nothing more I love than getting out in the fresh air with the pup and going off to explore. My dog Hollie is a Romanian rescue, who we've had since she was 6 months old (she's now 6). She is full of beans, absolutely adores her older bro's, and likes nothing more than to snuggle up on the sofa after a stroll down the canal path. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes.

Mark has always had a love for animals and has had many family pets over the years - cats, dogs, gerbils, mice and fish. He is caring, trustworthy and totally reliable, and he will look after your pet with the same love and care he gives to his own dog, Hollie. I have no hesitation in recommending Mark to Rover.com

My little Frankie (a chubby tabby) absolutely loves Mark! Frankie is usually super timid around new people but he took to Mark really quickly when we first met. He also sent me photos of my (not so little) Frankie when I was on holiday with my mates too. I have a feeling he may love Frankie more than me. Mark is so good with animals - he is so great with his own dog, Hollie, and has a huge garden for dogs to run around too! He also lives in a lovely area, with plenty of places to take the doggos for a runaround! I genuinely couldn't think of anyone more suited to walk dogs or look after cats for a living - he has loads of experience with all pets and is so caring.
