I couldn’t say enough great things about Mark. He followed our dog’s regular schedule and went above and beyond by playing with our dog regularly making sure he was happy. He also made us feel as ease while on vacation by sending us daily pictures and videos. He is reliable, responsible and a true dog lover. I would recommend him to friends and family needing a dog sitter.

I can't say enough good things about Mark! He's reliable, communication is great and he is a true dog lover! My pups didn't miss us as much thanks to his great care!

Mark was absolutely fantastic with Maya Papaya (lol) and Tucker! Our two dogs are very low maintenance, but he still reached out to see if there’s anything he needed to do with them. He sent lots of pictures and videos, which my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated! He kept our place spotless and we would have him back anytime! If you’re looking for someone who your babies will have fun with, book with Mark!!!

Mark was FANTASTIC! I found him rather last minute. He came the night before my trip to get familiar with Cocoa, the house, and all of the house procedures. Cocoa immediately warmed up to Mark. I too immediately felt comfortable with him staying in my home and entrusting Cocoa to him. Mark even drove me to the airport in my car. I received constant updates, photos, etc. Everything was well taken care of and I returned to a clean home. I feel like Cocoa and I have made a new friend.

Mark went ABOVE AND BEYOND housesitting for our energetic hound and 2 cats. Our dog Bow is a bit of a special case, he is a 2 years old rescue with a ton of energy. He has a kidney disease (req meds), is high energy, and needs extra attention to make sure he is not getting into anything he shouldn’t (lol). It was our first time leaving him since we got him and we were so anxious. Upon meeting mark, we immediately knew our pets were in good hands. He was thoughtful, loving, and experienced. He asked questions about the things I forgot to mention. We are so grateful and hope he wants to come back next time we go away!!

Mark is a true dog lover. It does not matter what breed, age or size of dog. He absolutely loves them all. He has exhibited so much patience and love with our dogs. You name it, playing with them, scratching bellies and ears, or letting them fall asleep on his lap.

Things I’d like to know in advance • If they need any medication administered • If they don’t do well in certain environments • If they are sensitive to any foods • If they have a schedule they like to follow • If they are prone to “accidents” in the house and what cleaning supplies to use • If they are allowed on the furniture • If they have any other special needs that I should keep in mind • The contact information for your preferred vet in case of emergencies
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
