We LOVE Dogs!

Pet care experience

We have raised and loved 3 labs over 30 years. Just lost our sweet Hoss recently at 16 years. Really miss having a dog(s) with whom we can share time and love with.

Mark and Jan Marie took amazing care of our golden retriever puppy Bruce while we were out of town. They truly understand dogs and made sure to provide the best home for Bruce during his stay with them. We love the daily updates and photos/videos and would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!

Mark and Jan took such good care of my Golden Retriever, Lady. I knew they would be great sitters for her because they have had Labs of their own in the past. They sent me frequent photos and videos. Lady almost didn’t want to leave she was having so much fun! Will definitely book with them again!

If you don’t book with Mark and Jan, then i feel bad for you and your goodest boy/girl. I cannot praise them enough. I was so nervous to leave my Frankenstein with anyone because my big boy is A LOT. He is an American pitbull Cane Corso mix weighing between 76-82 pounds as a 1.5 year old puppy. He doesn’t know his own strength and when he gets the zoomies, he uses his full weight and hyperness to try to play with people. On top of being a very VERY high energy powerful dog, he has been healing from a slightly torn ACL since August, making us even more nervous to leave him with someone because we didn’t want him to get reinjured. And to top everything off, he’s been going to a specialist to run tests to see if he has either hereditary kidney disease or GI disease. So you can see that my sweet boy is A LOT. But Mark and Jan put all my worries to ease. They loved him so much, i swear they love him as if he was their own. They took naps with him on the couch, took him on very long walks, helped him up and down the stairs to protect his ACL (which they had their own dogs with ACL tears so this made me feel a lot better too as they know how to handle these issues), they let my boy stop to smell every rose and sniff out there (and trust me he will sniff all day if you let him), they let him sleep in the bed with them, gave him cuddles, play time and much more. They sent me photos and updates every morning and evening which allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation with my boyfriend and his family. They put my mind at ease right away. I will never trust anyone with my boy besides these too. They’re basically his uncle and aunt at this point. My baby has separation anxiety from my boyfriend and freaks out, but he was immediately comfortable and happy with Mark. My boy didn’t have anxiety once. I cannot praise Mark and Jan enough. They are not only incredible dog owners and sitters, but they are amazing people.

I have used Rover for years and Wilson has been with wonderful caregivers. Jan and Mark were so different. They adopted Wilson. He was their beloved pet while he was there. Wilson has huge separation anxiety and he quickly adapted to his new family. I can’t thank them enough for the love they gave my little boy. To review them as dog sitters belittles what they gave to my best friend Wilson now has Godparents And if you are truly lucky, Jan will share her chocolate cookies
